GPL car paint jobs

I was wondering if someone could tell me where I can find a web-site with instructions (or something along these lines)where as I could change/alter/modify the paint jobs of cars in Grand Prix Legends. And maybe some one could tell me what programs or applications I might need. Many thanks. -- ------------------------------------Mr. Sinister "No one should take them selves so seriously... ...I never want to act my age." -Blink, What's My Age Again?- ----------------------------------------------- http://www.archives.gov/exhibit_hall/charters_of_freedom/bill_of_rights/amendments_1-10.html It's the first Ten Amendments http://archive.aclu.org/issues/freespeech/hmfs.html It's the American Civil Liberties Union Free Speech page

You need winmip2 and a paint program. The car folders have mips in them. They are named after the car type and car number. e.g. Lotus number 10 is lot10.mip. Ferrari car 4 is fer4.mip. You always drive car 4 offline. Anyway, open the mip in winmip, convert it to a bmp. Open that in your paint prog, draw what you want, save it, convert it back to a mip and put it back in the car folder. Back up your mips before you mess with them. Kev

Thanks Kev, I appreciate the info. That will be enough to trial and error my way threw it. I bought GPL in '98, played it for 2 months until the cheep steering wheel I had broke. Then about a month ago I got a new better steering wheel, and in the 5 years between the steering wheels GPL just got better and better. Race sims you can modify are cool. ------------------------------------Mr. Sinister "No one should take them selves so seriously... ...I never want to act my age." -Blink, What's My Age Again?- ----------------------------------------------- http://www.archives.gov/exhibit_hall/charters_of_freedom/bill_of_rights/amendments_1-10.html It's the first Ten Amendments http://archive.aclu.org/issues/freespeech/hmfs.html It's the American Civil Liberties Union Free Speech page
