I would like to edit the driver's pictures in Layout.dat, they're .pbf files the problem I have is when using Winmip1.2 to unpack layout.dat and convert the driver's mugshots to bmp, then packing the new files, the pictures go purple in the game. The image has to be 16bpp so I can't edit the pallete in Paint Shop Pro. I know what I want to do is possible, because I have the BRM driver updates. Thanks in advance, Ian Wright

WinMip 1.2 will not convert PBF files correctly. There may be an update somewhere that fixes that problem, but alternatively, you can use Nigel Pattinson's BMPTO PBF.EXE to do the converting. It will even handle color driver photos. Nik

Where does one find the BMPTOPBF.exe file ? I looked at KOTR's page but didn't find it there. I think it is really helpful to post a link to a file rather than just the name. It saves trying to hunt it down a large number of web sites and probably a lot of e-mail to be answered by the poster thank you Jeff Haas
