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.

nice colours :D
what .dat program do you use to edit your colours
black and yellow black and yellow :P ;)
Boring stuff.. Know why? Because u can download a file and make ur own colours, what ever u want :p
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.
nice colors rubber
nice work ;)
Thanks for the compliment flyingmoon, I appreciate it.
Nice, but if i put the document in the data map and start the game up the colors are the same as before, nothing changed...
Can you help me please ;)
Greetzz
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.
It worked, a friend helped me, i had to click on compatibility files.
greetzz
rubber: these are the colors I have.. you said ingame that there were new ones or something...... do you have new ones or the 3c is the latest?
No this is the newest one but you said in game that my car appeared orange and green (would have been the older colors) but to me it appeared orange and red (newer colors) so I just assumed you had the old one.
I think I have the 3c ones but I will put em in just to be sure...
Nice job rubbeh but I don't see any reason to change the car colors because they appear different to everybody else.
Yes dan true, but if everyone used one set of colors, we would all see the same colors. This was my attempt to do so while adding lots of colors.
nice
can you upload old 1? i downloaded your and i dont know where is my old
if you changed it and you forgot to save the original, thats all on you but here you go:

yeah i know, something got messed up ill have a look at it
EDIT: I got it working
works for 0.3d ? :l
can you give a link so I can get your colors again.. what ever version you have now (3c) or if you made a new one, I would like to have it.. I dont know where I put mine and if it works with 3D that would be awesome.. good job rubber.
It works for 0.3d! I have tried this!
yes, the only reason i put 0.3c in the name was so I would know when I made it (I have lots of versions). It DOES work with 0.3d, I've been using it ever since 0.3d was released. Ethan, try the link on the first post, there is a zipped folder with the carcols in it. Please let me know if it doesn't work for you. Thanks for all the compliments guys :D
Idk if anyone is having trouble getting these to work, but if they don't work more your gta sa directory to documents, or desktop.

I dosen't work for me. It used to work for me but when I updated my SAMP to 0.3x it just stopped working. Any ideas?
Is someone knows why are the 0.3x colors didn't implemented to the server yet? Is there any technical reason?

1. You are bumping a 10 month old topic.
2. This was created for samp 0.3e when the carcols worked, 0.3x added more colors of it's own so it won't work anymore
