help please

you have to use the Arttool 2000 to expand the art bin file, after this you can load the Teamarts in GP3 2000 csc

hello ! please i nedd some help! it's impossible to find arttool 2000 and without it, i can't export menu art, it is disapointing. i hope you will help me. thanks!

here you go [rapidshare.de]

what have I to do to expand art bin file, i don't find any file and i have always error file because i have no file.bin !

you have to load the GP2000v1.bin from the Bitmaps folder in gp3 2k

ok thank you, and after doing this? sorry for all these questions

after the loading,click on the edit button and then on expand menuart file A new window appears, where you can choose which files which files will be expand. you can choose all files, or seperate files like teamarts or background menus. The last step is to expand the bin file, this takes a while. After this is finishes, you'll ge a new expanded gp2000.bin,it's much larger then the old one. Now you can backup your old bin file and rename the new one to gp2000.bin, to load it again in arttoll 2000. From now on you'll be able to export or import new bmp's to update the menuart file. But please be carefully, the new bmp' must have the same size as the original ones.

Step 1:
Open ArtTool 2000. From the Edit menu, choose Expand Menu Art File. Select GP2000v1.bin, (located in the GP3 Season 2000\Bitmaps directory) and click Open. In the dialogue box that opens, you must select at least the Expand Team Arts option and Make All Helmets 84x80, then click on Expand Selected Images. Close ArtTool.
Step 2:
In your GP3 Season 2000\Bitmaps directory, rename the original GP2000v1.bin file to something else, (GP2000v1.old, for example). Rename the file new_GP2000v1.bin file to be GP2000v1.bin.
Step 3:
Unzip the 11 bitmaps that make up this Team Art set and the accompanying .tas file into a directory of your choice - I put mine in a folder in the GP3 Season 2000\Bitmaps directory.
Step 4:
Start ArtTool 2000. Choose Open from the file menu and load GP2000v1.bin. Then select Install Team Art Set File from the File menu and select the .tas file in the directory you used in step 3. Click on Open. ArtTool 2000 will import all 11 bitmaps into the game - this can take a moment - wait for the message that says it's finished.
Step 5:
Exit ArtTool 2000 and you're done. I recommend restarting your computer before you start GP3-2000, as mine hangs on me when I try to load a track unless I do this.

Part 2:
It is from The Smoking Pen 2004 Arts installation.txt.
I prefer Carset Creator 1.0beta4, all you have to do is load the bmp.files
and export them into the game.

Happy racing from Germany !!!
