Question about creating new walls for RTC

Post by takis76gr »

Hi again,

I have one little question and problem. I am creating new walls for Dungeon Master RTC and I am adding new bitmaps wallset to create one new custon dungeon.

But there is one little problem , when I adding one bitmap , the colors of new bitmap wallset , does not appear with correct palette in RTCEditor.

What could I do to fix this problem?

I tried and 256 color bitmap and 16bit bitmap and png image.
All of them has error colors when imported in Editor as new graphic.

What can I do?

Thank you...

In the editor does not appear well , in the game appear with correct palette.

why?

I thing I found on bug.

When the bitmap win previewing as 50% has error colors in editor , when it previewing as 100% has correct colors , in the editor when adding on new wallset.

The Editor uses Windows GDI for graphics display, which doesn't resample colours properly when showing scaled graphics, this is why they look wrong.

I've never found it a problem. As you say, it looks fine in game, so I'm not bothered that it doesn't look correct in the editor. Do you really find this to be a problem?

I don't say that is a problem , but first time I was confused I delete and create the same wall , many times untill realise the wall has error palette only in scalling preview and took me 1 hour to delete and remake a lots of pictures with different paint programs with many image formats and colors.
