Title: Request help with Gunsights
Post by: AcId on March 30, 2001, 08:44:00 AM

 I noticed some sights are 32x32 and others are 128x128 and I can pick and chose which ones I want to use, I understand that and have done that for different AC. My problem is when I try creating my own or alter someone elses to my liking it doesnt work. It's displayed as an all black gunsight. I've tried saving them as 'indexed' and 'RGB' .bmp's but I'm doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

btw I'm using whats called "The Gimp" but I'm going to try paintbrush next.

Make sure that in the indexed 256 bitmap the entrie 255 of the palette has the RGB Value 255/0/255
Or better modify an existing gunsight ...

Thanx for your input, I appreciate it. It turned out the last color in the palette needs to be 255/0/255 and it wasnt. Now I got it working.
