GPL - Editing question

by Ian Wrigh » Sat, 02 Jan 1999 04:00:00

I would like to edit the driver's pictures in Layout.dat, they're .pbf
files
the problem I have is when using Winmip1.2 to unpack layout.dat and
convert the
driver's mugshots to bmp, then packing the new files, the pictures go
purple in the game.
The image has to be 16bpp so I can't edit the pallete in Paint Shop Pro.

    I know what I want to do is possible, because I have the BRM driver
updates.

Thanks in advance,

Ian Wright

WinMip 1.2 will not convert PBF files correctly.  There may be an
update somewhere that fixes that problem, but alternatively, you can
use Nigel Pattinson's BMPTO PBF.EXE to do the converting.  It will
even handle color driver photos.

Where does one find the BMPTOPBF.exe file ?  I looked at KOTR's page
but didn't find it there.  I think it is really helpful to post a link
to a file rather than just the name.  It saves trying to hunt it down
a large number of web sites and probably a lot of e-mail to be
answered by the poster

thank you

You are using an old version of WinMip. Get an
update at http://members.aol.com/winmip

Youll also find there a GPL batch conversion tool.
