3.bmp not found (404)

Maybe try to open the example.bmp from mod 9? Then you'll alerady have a bmp with the correct colors that you can "save as" a new color table?

Another thing, maybe just creating a new document as indexed color might work.

(Also, if you can, convert to jpg before posting the images. bmp are very big, and they load very slow on dialup)

YES

very smart ryandor

i opened the example.bmp
then i right clicked on the canvass slected image then mode then i clicked on RGB, after that i right clicked again and clicked on image --> mode-->indexed. a window poped up and i clicked on use custom pallet. then the button beside it and i clicked edit at the bottom then import, a little window popped up with a drop down menu underneath the name, the menu was called source click an hold down and you'll see the option "Image"

and now there is a graidiant with the colors from the map

sorry i dunno if you can understand that cause i was excited while i was typing

i only have three hours a day on my computer so i'll log off to conserve time i'll check back in 30 minutes

hmm doesnt work as good as i wanted it to
i cannot select the special pallet

good deal. Sounds like you are getting there.
Since the exmple.bmp is already indexed color, try to skip changing to RGB. Maybe a way to just grab the color table out of bmp.
Also, for kicks try to get the color table out of the existing palette files. They are in the addon folder.

you mean try to install the dragon-mod.aco? there was a problem when i tried to put it in the pallets file. where really should i put it?

What I mean is, if there's a way to select a pallet to open, try to open any one of the following:
dragon-mod9.aco
dragon-mod9.act
dragon-mod9.pal

i tried opening up explorer and copy an pasting those files into the pallet file but i get an error message that access to this file is denied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(i got win 2000)and i am only a USER not a ADMIN like my dad

any way when he comes home tonight hes gonna look into it (he's a big computer guy)
