View source for Using 256 colour graphics in AGS

(by [[user:Gilbert|Gilbert Cheung]])

'''<u>Note</u>: The following tutorials assume that you, the reader, already have subtle amount of knowledge on AGS scripting, and operating graphics packages which are capable of editing images ''natively'' under 8-bit colour VGA modes (e.g. Deluxe Paint ][ Enhanced and [http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/ Grafx 2]). If you are not familiar with such programmes, use 16- (or 32-) bit colour graphic modes instead to eliminate the difficulties involved in setting up things properly, OR, if you really want to use 8-bit graphics, just because you think your game doesn't require graphics of higher colour depth, or for the sake of file sizes and speed, you may read [http://kafkaskoffee.com/tutorials/palette.shtml Eric's great tutorial] instead.'''

This tutorial will be separated into three (3) parts, from the basics to full control of the palette (for more complicated effects). The materials are mainly designed for Adventure Game Studio V3.1.2 and above (unless stated otherwise).

Just select a part of the tutorial:
