Forgive my bluntness, but are you being serious here?Ã,  Have you opened the manual?Ã,  Or AGS itself, for that matter?Ã,  Have you done ANYTHING prior to posting to try to solve the problem?Ã,  For your own image, I hope the answer is no, because of the painfully obvious answer, and ease by which to find said answer.
Again, forgive my bluntness, but please, try to answer questions on your own before posting here.

the manual and ags seem to be a little out of synch to me.Ã,  given that the manual describes only two options for colour

"The first thing you need to do when you create a new game is to decide whether you want to use 8-bit (palette-based) colour or 16-bit (hi-colour). If you want to use 16-bit colour, you can still use 256-colour backgrounds and sprites if you want to, but the engine will only run in a 16-bit colour resolution, thus slowing it down."

yet it seems AGS has a 32 bit true colour option. perhaps the manual is out of date, yes?  or perhaps it is contained in a different part of the manual and i have missed it? theres no need to be rude to someone who is only trying to confirm what seems to be an obvious discrepancy.

16 bit is above 256 colors, so, you know now that AGS does indeed support more than 256 colors.  Forgive me for being rude, but I assumed that that was your question, and you seem to have answered it yourself.  Is your question then, why the manual doesn't list 32-bit color as an option?  If so, I have no answer for you, I don't know why it isn't listed.  In the future, just try to make your questions more clear.  And, again, sorry for my earlier bluntness.

(Oh, and welcome to the forums.)

It's a good point though. Perhaps the topic should be re-titled to UPDATE THE FLIPPIN MANUAL CJ and moved to Tech Forum so his Pumaness sees it
