How do you add a jpg to a car or the decal sheet? Thanks, Scott
>How do you add a jpg to a car or the decal sheet? >Thanks, >Scott Export the car-pain from N3 and open the pcx-file in another paint-program. There you add the decal or something else and save. Then in N3-Paint you import and go on. -- Uli Winkelmann un sing K?lsche Sick op www.netcologne.de/~nc-winkelul

adding to the decal sheet or making a new one is a bit of a task - not real difficult just involved... i set out to make a MASSIVE sheet using the original, a couple of custom ones, and some of my own stuff... was gonna be like 4 sheets joined into one - half way into it i discovered it very much depends on ram... to add to the existing sheet (there are some alternate sheets available at http://www.theuspits.com ) you have to first unpack the LAYOUT.DAT file - the decals are a file called DECAL.PCX that can be edited with Paint Shop Pro or something same as playing with the car paint job - if you just change existing decals without changing the location and size of them, that's all you have to do, edit it and repack - if you ADD a decal to a empty spot on the sheet, it gets more involved - you have to keep the same color for the background and the border and you also have to add the x,y pixel coordinates of your new decal to a file called PKDECALS.LST - it's a plain text file also in LAYOUT.DAT - the coordinates tells the paint kit what part of the sheet to designate for each decal - you add a line showing the top left x/y pixel and the bottom right x/y pixel and then repack everything...
