IMG_0918.JPG Well it is a process but not to hard you need winmip to open pace car mips and can change to a tga or bmp and than you can add your paint . Use winmip to import the file change to a mip than save.
There is more to it I have all steps at home.

Changing the pace car is easy just get all the files you need a unzip in your series folder , if you don't like just delete. I did this and I have 5 different paint schemes so each race the pace truck changes

I have ten different paints for this so each time I run this series it will give me a different paint.
Ive also made this for the DMRNXS16 But need to finish and release it.

Save it as a tga file. Next if you want to do it yourself you will need winmip and some knowledge on how to use it.

Quick question. All the files from the Camaro CV folder and the Camaro Max folder have to be converted into mip files?

No they are all ready mips. I'm sure there is more than one way to do this.
Get Winmip you need a pacecar mip file
You open it in Winmip it will open as a nip file if you've done it right your looking at a pacecar.
Ok next there is a drop down menu change it to a toga or bmp. Than save it to your computer.
Next open your painted pace car flat in your paint program copy the tga or bmp file that you made now you will need to paste it on the pacecar file you extracted using winmip.
Now open Winmip again open your new file and change it to a mip file name it pacecar , pacecar 1 you will need 5 of these why that's how it works.
If you have 5 pace cars and the other files that go with it , well it should work. But not always

You cannot change the file sizes etc if you paste over original it will work . There is a bunch of trial and error stuff here I messed and messed with it till it worked. I have a hard d time giving up. I don't know how todo this stuff but I keep digging at it.

Next place all your files in your series folder and go racin it should be there.

I'm trying to pack the files but I keep getting "Error in Wmbas/Packen". I believe it's because I have to add the file names of the Camaro to the pck file via Notepad but I think some of the Camaro files are missing. Also I tried packing the Camaro pace car with some of the other pc files from the original DAT file that were missing (not a good idea) and the game crashed when I tried to enter the track. Bottom line is I think the Camaro folder I have is missing a few PC files which prevent it from being the Pace car

If you remove the files you put in it should go back to normal.
Ok a couple of thoughts do all your work outside of your papyrus /nr2003 folder.
On most mods the pace at mips are in the data file and Winnipeg will open the data file but what we are doing here you don't need to mess with that.
Delete all the files you put in and see if nr2003 is running right
Now take a look at your series take a screen shot if you need to. If something goes wrong just delete the files

Download the pace car I made
http://asracingn2k3.net/downloads/add_ons/2014 ASR pace.zip
Unzip the files into the series folder you want the pace car.
Open papyrus/ nascarracing2003/ series/ cup I zipped there.
Than go into game and small races it should've working .

After that look at all the files that is needed to run the pace than outside of 2003 open my pace car mips and try and do the original process to paste your pace over mine than save them all the same file names.
You will need at least 5 pacecars. You make them all the same for now . See if you can get it working that way.

If the bmp don't work try a tga file or the opposite way. I don't have the instructions in front of me, but I did have issues getting it to work
I know you can't change the file size and type. They need to be the same. Etc
Keep at it!

No you don't. You can extract files from the data file , but without a template. It works better with a template.
Now I have a new task for you! If your up to it. Paint 5 different color pace cars and than enter them . Each race you will have a new pace car.

Also a new task make a blimp. There is a blimp template
Go to Racelinecentral and look around
I do have another site that has instructions. For the pace cars . Probably explains it better than I have, but I have to be home to find it.
And when you open Winmip there is a help or tutorial button it will take you to a web page of instructions on how to use winmip
