Carset template suggestion

Carset template suggestion

by Robin Ti » Tue, 02 May 1995 04:00:00

Over the last couple of years, I have accumulated a BUNCH of carsets.  It would
be extremely helpful to have some type of document to help tell what they are.  
I have taken the template for the DOOM game and modified it to reflect the
needs of the Papyrus sims. The first included file is the template, followed by
what I give as an example of intended use.
Just a suggestion I think would help all of us......
