Title: Problems importing walkbehinds
Post by: Mouth for war on Sat 21/03/2009 18:41:38
Ok! i save my walkbehinds as a 256 color bitmap in mspaint...and i only use black and grey colors. when i try to import them AGS still says there are invalid colors etc. What is the problem? should i save them in another program or?

The first 16 palette slots are used as mask colors.   So you probably have used colors other than this to draw the wak behind areas.   

You may want to consider using another paint program that gives more control over the palatte and the color index.   I like the free version of graphics gale for this purpose.  It also supports layers which often makes things easier in many respects.   You can get it here:
