Help me with Room Settings please!

[Guyper]

1. Why everytime when I want to import a background, it says

"Your game is set to 256-colour, and this is a hi-colour scene. This room will be unusable"  ?

I even tried to use the highest resolution 800X600 but it keeps giving me the same message.

2. What's the different between "Import Background" and "Import Background(Exact Palette) ?

3. What is the right size image to make a Game Background?

Thanks in advance guys!

The problem with your first question is your using a hicolor image and your game is set to use a 256 color palette. To fix this go to the option palette then click on the button that says something like "Convert game to hi-color". That should fix your problem but remeber you can only import images that use hicolor you can't import 256 col images. Oh and you could also use 256 colors but it's kinda of harder to use a pal so if your a noob just stick with hicolor for now. 8)

you can only import images that use hicolor you can't import 256 col images. 8)

You can use 256 images in 16bit mode.

Really? But the program has to convert the images first right?
