Pardon my lackluster skills, but...

Um, yeah, I tried that, and I did something wrong, and it still came out black, and it would alternate between the classic sprite and the new one.

I apologize for being an ass, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Did you grab the palette for the extra sprite tiles? Links are 6,7,8, and 9.

The description of what colors belong to him are in the help file under graphics 4.3.

Well, I tried to grab them, but it would only highlight one palette at a time. Or am I clickling the wrong palette? Or wrong menu? Do I click on the sprite first, or what? I have no ******* idea.

a cset is 1 line of colors
a palette is 16 lines of csets.


there's a lot to what you're trying to do here.

to grab gifs they should first be opened in a paint program and reduced to 16 colors
then once you have grabbed the gif you almost always need to recolor unless it's something like a title screen and then you may want to use it's palette.

Here's a trick to recoloring

get the new 2.11b6 that is now available to everyone for testing
put your gif in there
grab the gifs palette in a new level palette in cset 2
put the palette you want to change it to in cset 3
start a screen with that level palette....
go into tiles and click b on every tile of the gif, this converts it to 256 colors
now you can recolor it from the cset 2 to the cset 3 while being able to see exactly what you are doing.
then you can get it back to 16 colors by simply taking a screenshot and grabbing it back into your original quest.
just make sure you change every color, I always seem to forget the black

Well, I'll see how that works, I'll probably end up botching it, but whatever...

EDIT: Dammit, I can't even find where that thing is. The 2.11b6 thing...

[rocksfan13]

>HERE< it is.

[Lastpatriot]

Thank you. I'll see if it works after I get back from...where I'm going.

[Lastpatriot]

Sorry for the double post, but I can't open zc211b6. It says something about "alleg42.dll" is not found.

You can download it Here

[Lastpatriot]

Well, let's see how this works out...

EDIT: It still doesn't work. I downloaded alleg42, unzipped it, and it still doesn't work. I don't think I should do anything with a mechanical file, so... what am I doing wrong??
