I have been playing around with the *.dat files in NASCAR2. I have unpacked some of the *.dat files for the tracks and found numerous other files. The files included ar *.MI4, *.MIP, and *.3DO. Could someone please tell me what each of these files are and what program I would need to edit them. Any help someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bud

The 3DO files are the 3D polygon models upon which some of MIP and MI4 textures are mapped. --

Yes!! Please help...I would like to possibly see if I can paint the wheels different colors like the real cars (ex. Pettys red, Jarretts blue, etc.)...or would ALL the wheels be painted the same color if it were possible to paint them at all? Has anyone else thought of trying this? Anybody tinkering with editing please post some of your expertise...thanks

All of the wheels share the same MIPs, so all of the wheels would change color at once. ---Jim Sokoloff

There is One groupf of files that "paints" wheels and tirs for N2. Changing/painting them a different colour would render ALL the cars' wheels'/tires the same colour! Dave The Hammer
