Adobe Photoshop, And you don't need it to make skins, You can just use paint or any other drawing tool. Use Machf's CAR tools to import your skins. |

Click the first one if you have Windows. Use GIMP, it's VERY MUCH like PhotoShop only it's free. And arguably better some might say. <_< Okay my turn: What files do you pull out to edit and where are they? And where do I put a downloaded skin or a finished skin I've made? :mellow: |

http://machf.tripod.com/Hunt/Carn/files.htm#file Then click the Ice Age .car and .3df file editor, or click this link: http://machf.250free.com/Hunt/Carn/files.htm#file Images for dinos are stored in their .CAR file (Located in Huntdat) Use this tool to extract the image. Then use this tool again to import it back into the .CAR file (Don't forget to backup the original!!) EDIT: changed the links so that people don't attempt to download an old (buggy) version. |

Simply put adelphospro! Also i would suggest using gimp. http://www.gimp.org/ I love it! And if there are things on gimp you dont know what it is or how to use it just simply google whatever it is your looking for. also there are some tutorials on youtube! Thats how i learned! |

Question/Problem: Been trying to create skins, save them in photoshop as a jpeg and then opening in paint & saving as a 24 bit bmp (per another thread, apparently this is the only way to make photoshop work). Instead of getting an imported skin, the .car editor's screen just goes black. Anybody else have this problem? |

NNNNNOOOOOO do not download version 20.Go down more and download version 26.Because thier are bugs in the other versions that will keep you from seeing the skin you created.Trust me i kown better myself.Because i myself did that then i downloaded version 26 and now i have 21 skins made both copy and paste and saved on car.files. |

That was the bug I fixed in one of the latest versions, what you described was what happened whenever I wanted to load an image with the 4th option ("From image file", I believe). Started happening when I began using 32bpp for the images (for the 3D OpenGL display), apparently because the routine itself uses 24bpp... Use the main site for downloading the latest version: http://machf.tripod.com/Hunt/Carn/files.htm#file Or the mirror: http://machf.250free.com/Hunt/Carn/files.htm#file DON'T use a direct link to the file itself, because it may have become outdated already. In the main site, it will be already removed, but on the mirror I've been keeping all versions as a sort of backup (though they aren't linked from the page), you shouldn't have downloaded an old version from there. |

Version 33 is the most current one correct? That's the one that I downloaded that's giving me the black screen:( |

That's weird, I don't get those problems with it anymore (happened with versions 023 to 032, I believe). Have you downloaded the necessary DLLs (mentioned in the ReadMe file)? WHat bitdepth has your desktop been set to? |
