The easiest thing to do is make a copy of the blank.pcx and open it in PSP. Just cut and paste your picture into it then save it. You can then rename it and import it into N2. -- The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative [link lost in import] [link lost in import: /~ebusch/]
Hello, Can anyone tell me how to put my picture into nascar 2. I don't really understand the readme file about what it says. I am not real smart when it comes to doing this kind of stuff. It does say that I will need some kind of special paint program. Where do I get it and what are the EASIEST and SIMPLEST terms to get my picture in? Thanks SCREAMER

your file has to have the right name (ie: if your car .pcx is xt_playe.pcx your picture file is t_playe.pcx) and must be in the directory c:\sierra\nascar\cars for N2 to import ^^^

This was perhaps my poor attempt at a joke. How about you take a peek at the back of the N2 manual and look at the names of the beta testers. ;) Best Regards, Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing News - USA http://members.aol.com/simracing

Yes you are right ... a poor attempt at a joke. You admit to being a beta tester for N2?? ... what were you thinking of??? ... you missed the bugs??? Where you also a beta tester for ICR2?? ... Apollo 13?? ... the Titanic?? ... the Hindenburg?? ... Cheers, Craig

Sorry you thought so... Of course!! :) What bugs are you refering to? Have you ever beta tested anything? If so, then you would realize that as tester, we can only provide input, but not actually make any changes. That's the job of the programmers at Papyrus. No. :( Missed that one...I seem to recall something about an age-limit (besides, I was out-ranked). The game or the movie...? YES!! I was the pyrotechnichian on the project... ;) Cheers Craig!

I have beta tested a few games and you are right about the "input". Beta testers really have no pull at all. They put in alot of hours and end up with a Free game. As for bugs in N2, I have a great one. I have been getting N2 quick racing fixes by doing 10% races at Dega (since datona was not available). I would start in the rear of the grid & see how fast I could take the lead within the 18 laps. at 94% it is not easy (for me) but I have won. However in one race, a car I had put in my 97season driven by Cole Trickle (yes I downloaded those Days of Thunder cars) spun out on the back straight. Just about *EVERY* car in the field smashed into the wreck. C_Trickle was in 8th place at the time and cars 1-7 went all the way around & smashed into the wreckage. That was almost a FULL lap!. Obviously the AI in this game is lacking. I do turn the YELLOWS off since it is only an 18 lap race, but still the AI should not do that. IMHO :-) Well I just hope you guys ***ed about the lack of a SAVE Game. I can actually understand the fact that there is no SAVE Game during the actual race. But you should certainly be able to save your game after PRACTICE, QUALIFING, WARMUP ect... Doing the whole Weekend in one sitting is just not right. In fact it sucks. Greg

However in one race, a car I REPLY: That's why IMO you have to run with yellows on, because of what you say above and in addition sometimes they'll wreck and you can go from first to last in seconds and go all the way around and their still there fumbling around. When this type of wreck happens the game is mostly runied you win by a landslide. Again the best way to cover this up is to put yellows on. Once yellows are on and a real bad accident happens you really then need to watch your in-line position. In N2 it can get down right tricky to tell where your supposed to be in line up sometimes. If your wrong and playing honest and get black flagged that again ruins a race. That happened to me yestderday at Rock running a 50% lengther, 100%, yeller, around lap 90. I had a good shot at winning until the wreck of confussion happened. Oh here's a little tid bit for Papy. We need to have a button (most likely the spacebar) setup where we can shut up the spotter until he has something new to say. He many times gets a skip and constantly repeats over and over the same thing, many times incorrect info as well. It would be nice to press a button to tell him to shutup and only say something next that is different then what is constantly being repeated by him. This gets extremely tiresome on yellows "pass the 20 car", you done this but for some reason he's had a little brain failer, and says it for minutes on end as you drive along. Q.B.M.
