making a new paint

[Bydo 20,124]

OK in the  past contest there was a tool we could use to change paints with.

so I have down loaded it to my system but when I go to use it .

it never works the way its suppose too for me . so I need someone to either send me a link to an editorial to follow it threw or talk me threw how to do it. I have some knowledge of how to but get stopped where to add it into my paints on to a tank..

Thanks

You need to go to  TankViewer - 02.12.2020  >  data  >  colormaps  >  custom and replace any of the three .jpg files there with another with the same name (but no larger than 512x512 pixels)

In the viewer, they will be paints 494, 495, and 496

You can replace any of the paints (not just the ones in the custom folder) with your own, but you must give the .jpg the same filename as the one you replace

So for this I just opened "Red.jpg" (in colormaps), which is just a red pixel. I changed the pixel to magenta and saved it as "Red.jpg" and here it is in the viewer

Spoiler

(if you want to use different names, you also have to change the name in the config.xml file which is in the same folder as TankViewer.exe)

You can change Paints easily by going to the Garage, Paints tab, and equipping there.

There is no need to download any other non-Tanki related features to your system, as these may be unsafe and cause glitches, errors, damages on your device.

sir that is not what I'm doing if you went into tanki wiki there is a section under Tanki Online Tools which you can do TankViewer , which helps make pictures - paints for craft items or other .

all things are from tanki on line which is safe to use.
