ICR2 Paintkit questions (bugs?)

by Craig Marc » Sat, 13 Jan 1996 04:00:00

I really like Earl Ma's set of cars, they look great. I have repainted my car red,
and have some questions.....When are the "seams" going to be fixed? My car is red,
but the area where the side pods meet the tub have a blue stripe, and also on the
opposite side, on the outermost upper section of the side pod is a very large blue
stripe. It seems any car I paint has these "seams" that don't change color.
Also, I put decals on the nose of my car using another program, then imported the
paint scheme into Paintkit, and the decals are there, looking good. But then when I
go into ICR2, half of the decals dissappear!! Anyone know why? They're there in the
Paintkit program for ICR2, but not in the game.
Thanks for any help,

Papyrus has said they will be releasing a patch for the paintkit that
will fix the "seam" problem you mentioned.

: paint scheme into Paintkit, and the decals are there, looking good. But then when I
: go into ICR2, half of the decals dissappear!! Anyone know why? They're there in the
: Paintkit program for ICR2, but not in the game.

There is a range of colors that Papyrus does not use in the displaying
of the cars.  The 1st 32 colors in the palette & the last 80 colors are
not used in the displaying of the car in the sim.  If you are using
another paint program other than the Paintkit, you will need to  mask
these colors out or mix them to some color that you won't be using to
paint your cars.

NOTE:  The above colors are the complete 256 palette (not the limited
one displayed in Paintkit).

Yeah, we had the same problem at The Pits when working on the BTCC carset. I'd had Nascar
deleted from my HDD so I had to mess around with Jed's half-finished cars in Windows. I
sent them back to Jed to stick on the site and he mailed me telling me the prob... It's
very common and happens with all copies of the game. Something to do with Paintshop not
having enough colours I imagine.
