I was ****ed when people told me that i had to ditch mspaint and get a professional paint program that you have palette files for. well i just figured out that you dont need any! all you need is Dc6 Maker (hosted here), any paint program (i use MSPaint), and Microsoft Photo Editor (comes with Windows 2000, may come with older versions of windows too) Then just open your image in your paint program, edit it however you want, then open it in Photo Editor, go to File -> Properties, choose Palette or 256 color, click Custom, choose Variable, then save it. Then open Dc6 Maker, click Add Frame, then choose the image you just finished working on, and save your new dc6.

Or you could just select "256 color bitmap" format when you save your bmp file. It's in the drop-down list at the bottom of the save dialog box. Then Dc6 Maker will read it just fine.Watcher ------------------ "See you in the next Hell, sucker!" --Al Stark in The Wonderland Gambit

Naw, I just discovered that it won't work completely. Problem: first MSPaint converts to a 256 color palette, then Dc6 Maker converts to a different 256 color palette. Pretty hard to get a lot of different colors through this.Watcher ------------------ "See you in the next Hell, sucker!" --Al Stark in The Wonderland Gambit
