I'm having problems. When I import a custom image the colors are screwed up. I'm assuming its a problem with the pallette. How do I make sure that I'm staying within the pallette's bounds when I draw graphics? My blues appear as yellows and its really annoying me. White doesn't even work for me.
I've worked with freeware game engines that don't force you to do anything except to make sure the graphics have no more than 256 colors. Why doesn't Acknex do something like this? It would simplify things.
I don't mind, I'd just like to know how to make sure that my colors don't change when I put them into the level.

Hmm..I'm using A6 Commercial...I could have sworn I had it set in 16-bit mode. Hang on, I'll check...
All right, above the main function I have (sitting outside of the main function, or any function for that matter) the line var video_depth = 32; That's the highest possible setting so I don't understand what the problem would be. I put in a sprite character and its has lots of blues and greens, but when I test the game its brown and...strange.

Well...I'm poor so I use this program called iDraw. Its a 256 color graphic. Can't remember what type.
Ok. Its a sprite with four frames of animation. Its of type bitmap. However, when I opened it up, it appeared to be miscolored.......just not with the weird colors that gamestudio gives it. For instance, the character's hair is purple (for some ungodly reason) in iDraw, but in gamestudio its a nice tannish brown.
I then proceeded to invert the colors, and still nothing changed in gamestudio. Am I supposed to be using a different image format? Or is there some other image editing program that I should be using?
While we're talking, can you answer another question? How do I make my own textures? For instance, I want to make a sky texture that's completely black. But I don't know how to compile a wad. I could have sworn I saw a tutorial or something somewhere, but I don't remember now.

Ok...I made a test sprite with paint. The background was white (which worked. Then I made a black (transparent) block. That worked. Then I made a red square (worked), and a bright green square and a bunch of other colors. Bright green looked like some kind of red. And the rest...well I can't be sure because after green I didn't really check...but the rest seemed a little screwy too. This is extremely annoying.

Thanks. I'll try all of that and get back soon if it doesn't work.
I appreciate the help.

I owe you guys big time. Its working perfectly now. It must have just been something with either the file type or the way iDraw and paint saved. I think I'm going to use .pcx from now on.
One last quick question. What is the difference between .pcx and other file types. I know things like jpeg and gif are much smaller sized files, but at the cost of some of the image quality. So what exactly does .pcx do?
Once again, I appreciate your time and help.
