You may want to check and make sure that the files in under your CARS directory do not have the attribute set to "read-only". -- **************************** Michael E.

I am confused. The 1.02 patch for ICR2 shouldn't have done anything to the paintkit. What's happening when you try to run paintkit? -- **************************** Michael E.

That is what I do: I run Paintkit -> the main picture appears (I had changed it to Brayn Herta's car before I patched the game & paintkit worked well) -> I PRESS "PAINT CARS" BUTTON OR "SWAP CARS" & THERE IS NO REACTION ! (my HD works for a while & that is all - I have to "exit") I cannot understand what's the matter. I'm nearly sure that I saw how the patch worked over Paintkit. Dmitry

I'm new to this newsgroup and this is my first post so if it's repetitive my apologies. Your situation may not have anything to do with the patch, but whether or not you changed anything, anything AT ALL in the Cars95. I changed one line of text and now I can't open up Cars95 in the paintkit, nor can the paintkit create new sets for me. I e-mailed Sierra and was told any changes to Cars95 can drastically affect the Paintkit. One question, can you get Paintkit to run with any of your car sets, or are you just typing Paintkit, which would give you the Cars95 set. I got other sets that I have no problem using Paintkit with. Hope any of this mumbo-jumbo helps you. Inglewolf The worlds only Spike Gehlhausen fan left.
You probably have CARS95.DAT as a Read-Only file. Paintkit does not let you open any carset that has a read-only atribute. We never change the cars95. Just make a new directory under the CARS, copy everything from cars95 and change the name of the DAT to match the name of the directory. Don't forget about changing the atributes to read-write (attrib -r *.*). For the paintkit, I just create a couple of batch files to be able to open any carset. PKIT.BAT if "%1" == "" goto carset paintkit %1 goto theend :carset cls echo paintkit %%2 > pk0.bat copy pkit.ovr pk1.bat > nul dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find " " > xx.yy echo. echo Inform the Carset you want to use echo. type xx.yy echo. echo Type your option? choice /c:123456789 /n if errorlevel 9 goto err9 if errorlevel 8 goto err8 if errorlevel 7 goto err7 if errorlevel 6 goto err6 if errorlevel 5 goto err5 if errorlevel 4 goto err4 if errorlevel 3 goto err3 if errorlevel 2 goto err2 :err1 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "1 " > xx.yy goto all :err2 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "2 " > xx.yy goto all :err3 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "3 " > xx.yy goto all :err4 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "4 " > xx.yy goto all :err5 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "5 " > xx.yy goto all :err6 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "6 " > xx.yy goto all :err7 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "7 " > xx.yy goto all :err8 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "8 " > xx.yy goto all :err9 dir cars /ad /b | grep -i -n [a-z0-9] | find "9 " > xx.yy goto all :all type xx.yy >> pk1.bat call pk1.bat del pk?.bat del xx.yy :theend ------------------------------------ PKIT.OVR ----------------------------------- call pk0.bat ----------------------------------- Just create this two files on the ICR2 directory and also save the GREP.COM attached file.
