I'm having a heck of a time changing this. Every time I get the d2exp.mpq modified and start the game the palette is messed up.Does anyone know how to fix this. I've tried reducing the number of colors down to 256 and 16. The 16 color version looks better (barely) but still isn't anywhere near what it could be. Arrgggg.... help.  ------------------ Ratsbane

PhrozenKeep 'tools of the trade' section under graphics... DC6maker and there's an upgrade you can download after. This is what I used to make the 800x600 border for the BG mod and it worked fine for that. You can open the normal loadingscreen.dc6 but the palette funky.http://www.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?/planetdiablo/phrozenkeep/image/dc6maker2.zip ------------------ Ratsbane

"Every time I get the d2exp.mpq modified and start the game the palette is messed up"Never use d2exp.mpq, reinsert everything into patch_d2.mpq regardless where it came from. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Thanks. I'll try that. It's for a BG loading screen. Hope you'll like it if I can get it to display correctly. <fingers crossed>------------------ Ratsbane

Okay. I'm putting the loadingscreen into Patch_d2.mpq and it shows up when I load a game but still the palette is jacked. Anyone have any suggestions? ------------------ Ratsbane

I suspect DC6 maker is using the palletes for inventory/UI, which may be different for the loading screen. Use Cv5 to export the loading screen and compare it's pallete to a UI or inventory image. If it's different, we may need to modify or develop a new tool, or some workaround method.

DC6 maker uses the Act1 palette as default (iirc). There is an option to load other palettes, try it

Yea I tried that palette and still got wierd results but I haven't tried the Act 1 palette yet so I'll give that a shot. Otherwise maybe I'll link the DC6 and see if anyone else can figure it out.  ------------------ Ratsbane

loadingscreen.dc6 is in d2exp.mpq\data\global\ui\loading\loadingscreen.dc6
Palettes are in dqexp.mpq\data\global\palette\ The font can be downloaded from the web, but i dont have a link. Some fonts (in graphics) are in d2data.mpq\data\local\font\ (i think) btw, BMP loading fixed  [This message has been edited by Clannad (edited 06 February 2002).]

If you send it to me I can convert it or you can find the software to do it here on PhrozenKeep. I can't make it a LoadingScreen yet because I can't get DC6 Maker 3.0 to work on my computer yet...  ------------------ website: www.Ratsbane.com eMail: novus@ratsbane.com
