My new "problem of the day" is when i put my news items designs, the colors are wierd ... it's just like if it was 16 colors or something like that and some colors are the wrong ones.

The transparency is good to. Is it my d2 palette ?

Remember to save it in indexed colors.

Perhaps if you share how you did the images, I could help a little.

OK here step by step all the things i've done :

First i've done my graph ( with the correct size and in 256 colors ) then before saving it as a *.pcx file a apply my D2 pal ( the one they use for the invaar.pcx => "ancient armor" ... so it must be the goos one ).

Then i use the DC6Con with thus texte is the bat :

DC6Con invaar.pcx -Transcol 0

So, when i've finally got the *.dc6 file, i put it in data\global\items and then run d2 -direct -txt ...

make shure the image matches the SIZE as well, it must be 28px per inv square thus a 3x2 square image will be 84x56px this is what you didnt dpo in your steps

heres a basic table

1x1 squares 28x28 px (amulets, rings etc)
1x2 squares 28x56 px (daggers etc)
2x2 squares 56x56 px (cube, book of skill, bark scroll, helms etc)
1x3 squares 28x84 (one handed swords etc)
2x3 squares 56x84 px (2 handed swords, shields, body armors)
1x4 squares 28x112 px (staves, higher lvl javelins etc)
2x4 squares 56x112 px (big weapons and shields)

The squares are good : i've been taking the new designs form D1 ! And i've checked there size : they're ok !

So it's not here ... is there a special palette ? Such as the 768 colors one called like a *.dat file ?

hey man i know that d2 is using only 256 : i've allready done some graphics changes on it : new barbarian colors !

I'm not SO stupid u know !

And i think i've founded how to "pass" the problem : i open an original item of the game and then i save the pal so the palette can't be the wrong one !

But thx u Nefarius to think i'm a super stupid NB !!!

LOL...sometimes it's good to assume that even some admins (i.e. me) are sometimes clueless noobs...I didn't realize for the longest time (and this was as recently as a month ago) that a lot of my problems with inventory graphics were because many of them were set to True Color instead of 256 colors.

D'oh!
