Painting Cars in GPL

3 posts by 3 people · 09 Mar 1999 - 10 Mar 1999

1) Is there a new version of WinMip available that doesn't crash with a runtime error when you try to convert a 24-bit bmp files back to a mip file? 2) What program does everyone use to paint? I've tried Photoshop 3 and Photoshop 5 and both have their own distict and annoying weaknesses. Thanks. -- ========================================================= John Simmons - Redneck Techno-Biker (Zerex12) http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html John Simmons - Barbarian Diecast Collector http://members.home.net/jsimm/diecast_index.html IGPS Director http://www.paddedwall.org/igps/igps.html If you want to send me email, go to either of the URL's shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

HI John.......I successfully just painted my GPL car with winMIP 1.2b and you have to read the instructions buddy....it wont accept a 24 bit file when you re-pack it.Make sure you save your cool new bmp to 16 bit colour then re-mipp it and re-pack it and voila.....you'll see your new cool painted car in GPL too...and dont get confused with 16 bit colour being the same as 16 million colour...2 completely different things.(PSSSST...it's so awesome having your name on the car)
