NASCAR Paintkit question

Hello, I just got the new '95 paintkit from ftp.webcom.com and was wondering if there any way to merge my car from a paintkit I created into the new '95 paintkit. I would hate to have to repeat all my work on the car I drive in the '95 paintkit once I install it on my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank. -- Alan Sherman

Piece of cake. Just check out page 172 of the manual. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Raleigh, NC | Exit the Gates of Hell - run Linux! | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I'd read the manual from Papyrus! It's fully covered in there.

If you got the Paintkit from an ftp site, it is piracy, it only comes with the purchase of the game. But what doesn't make sense is... if you have Nascar Racing, then you should already have the paintkit. Ralf

I think he means the car sets that are created with the paintkit. Which, of course, he should be able to save his car off as a .pcx and import it into the new carset.... --

It is not...he said the NEW --95-- Paintkit...Nascar buyers get the 94 version...so it is a paintkit patch. Perfectly legal. :) In answer to your question...just copy the file to NASCAR Directory and export the spot you want your car to go in...then rename your personal file the name of the file you exported...after you delete the old one...don't worry, you won't lose it...then go back and import the car. Don't forget to do this in a NEW car set or you WILL lose the car you exported. See if that works. :) L.S.

I think he's referring to IWCCCARS (the '95 paint SET, not KIT..) here. To the original poster, yes, you can merge your car from your old set. Just export your car out, and assumedly it will be NASC94.PCX. Then type "paintkit newcars" and you'll be into the IWCCCARS file. Import that in place of the #66 Domino's car and you'll be in business. --- IWCC: http://www.webcom.com/~zyllyx/welcome.html MM#6/JA#37/DM#71/DW#17

I believe the original poster meant a re-painted car set (I think it's called IWCCCARS.ZIP or somesuch). Not "Paintkit" per se. It unzips to produce CARS95. BTW: this car set is GREAT....you should get it.

I checked pub/sabata (the only one I knew). Could someone post the site and directory?
