This is a PShop color table I worked on.

It should fix those warping colors through acts. I've not exactly tested them so I need feedback.

Directions:
Load whatever inventory image you wish in RGB.
Transform it into index color using the color table (palette->custom->d2pal.act)
Change any 0,0,0 colors into 4,4,4 or other black colors.
If any pink appears (it shouldn't), simply edit to correct color
Fill the background with 0,0,0


Any feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I never use photoshop, only paint shop pro, but I think you should transform your image into color index image only at the end, *after* you have replace the background color of the original bitmap by the color there is at the index 0 in the ending palette.

this pcx have the palette I made some time ago, which I found usefull to make such correct dc6 item.

This color table is for use when you want to convert your inventory file at the end....

my own fix was just to essentially **** the last 32 colors off the end of the palette (make them all white) since those (except for white) are the colors that change from act to act, then do the same with the palette used by dc6maker 2.1

or have I missed some point you're both getting at since the .act file's contents, and what you describe, seem a great deal more complicated (scalpel to my axe)? I've always used MS PhotoDraw 2000 because I had it, and I have a 56k connection , but I haven't had those annoying dots etc. since making the fix I described.

ooops.

I should say, rather, "my own fix was to CHOP..."

Well, this is for PShop users. My tests so far seems okay.

This will make it possible to work with transparencies for background before finally converting to index where the colors will be squeezed into the pal.

I doubt it'd be much of a problem for folks working from scratch but others who are converting images from other sources might find it useful.
