Added new shield to game, but inv graphic is all neon speckled, used dc6con to convert the pcx file and even tried with and without pallette changes, just a little annoyed, please help. Well after a little testing it would seem the problem is in the files. Every time I try to convert pcx to dc6 there is a mass amount of discoloration/distortion, what am I doing wrong. Plz HELP ME! ------------------ "The great secret, is not having bad manners or good manners...but having the same manner for all human souls." - George Bernard Shaw [This message has been edited by Dragon Warrior (edited 02 February 2002).]

The graphic was not saved in 256 colors, probably.I sometimes save a .pcx file in True Color by accident...and then when I convert to .dc6...I gt stupid multicolored dots. That's probably what you did. Go back to the original graphic, save it in 256 colors, and then convert to dc6 format. If that's not the problem, then you probably don't have the right palette. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."

I never would have thought of that, guess that's what I get for being a newbie. Thanks man.  ------------------ "The great secret, is not having bad manners or good manners...but having the same manner for all human souls." - George Bernard Shaw

I was regularly making the same newbie mistake with colors as recently as a few months ago...and I still slip up occasionally.As for "centering," if your image is sized right and the entries in misc.txt, armor.txt or weapons.txt indicate the proper height and width, it will center itself (inventory graphics at least). The height and width, by the way, refer to the number of squares in the inventory that are occupied by the item. Just be aware that 1 square in D2 is 28 pixels. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."
