Is there a way I can make gem do like a brighter red or darker blue or whatever? When I was using d1 armor the gems looked rather cool in the armor. Like when I put a Ruby in D1 scailmail It was really red not that crappy red u get from d2 armor!

I haven’t tried playing with the colours in moding yet, but my experience in graphics would suggest the gem adds an overlay, much like a layer with photoshop with transpancy, or layer options. So the effect of the same overlay on two different pics will effect them differently depending on the colours in the original pic. Maybe you could try tweaking the colours for the original pics. Brighter colours should make you overlay brighter.

*sigh* convert the .dc6 back to .bmp, and play around with the colors, then reinsert as a .dc6, test with your color changing item(in this case ruby) and see if the color is any better. If not, just keep editing the color of the item and test the changing color by adding in your color changing item(ruby).

I'm tring to get some other things done right now, sorry. Seeing I have no expericence with the file format and would have to create a d2 pallet it would take me some time to start doing it. If your useing photoshop I can give you some quick tips for doing this quickly. If not look to see if there is a contrast, brightness adjuster in the program your using, or a replace colour feature.
