Even newer car colors are here!!

[Rubber]

Quite a few people have asked for me to share my color palette update, so here it is.

It is the same deal as the last one.

Process:
1.  Download the .zip folder attached (not the .png file, that is just a reference of colors).
2.  Locate the file you just downloaded, double click on it, select open zipped folder.
3.  Inside you will see one file, carcols.DAT. Copy this file.
4.  Go into your GTA San Andreas game directory, now go into the data folder.
5.  Paste the file anywhere in your data folder. It will ask you if you want to replace the existing file, click yes.
6.  Go crazy with spray paint!

Some bits of advice: make a backup copy of the original carcols file in case you want to revert back to it later. Also you may want to print the attached reference picture so you can look at the color id # (thanks RaceRX for the idea).

One annoying thing: in game when you do /col, the colors and their names displayed are server side, not client side. So this means you will not see your carcol colors/names. This is why you need to remember what number each color is and choose that number. A check to see if your updated carcols are working is to do /col and select color id # 92 and spray your vehicle. If it is bright pink, it worked! Enjoy!

I hope to see lots of my colors in game.

Boring stuff.. Know why? Because u can download a file and make ur own colours, what ever u want :p

[Rubber]

Yes Artis, it was boring to make...but you know what? I spent a few hours to made it so other people wouldn't have to.  And if you make your own color file, you will be the only one to see those colors. My purpose with this file is to get a lot of people using it so we can all see other people's car colors.  If you have your own car color file to share, by all means please post it, I would like to see if people would pick mine or yours. If you don't have anything positive to say, please don't say it.

In the "data map" what do you mean by this? All you should have to do is open the zipped folder I have uploaded. Make sure to copy the file that is inside the zipped folder, and not the zipped folder itself. Then go to your GTA directory, most likely in C drive, program files, rockstar games, and gta san andreas, then go into the data folder. There should be a carcols file within this folder. If there is not, then you are in the wrong folder. Make a backup of the original carcols file if you wish. Otherwise, just paste the new carcols file into this folder. It will ask you if you want to replace it, click yes. Now join the server. I would make sure to have the game closed when you copy and paste the file into the data folder, just to be safe.
Good luck.
