The Dink Network

I don't know if you can... it cetainly doesn't appear as an option when loading a palette inside GIMP to "maintain indexes" (option used in Paint Shop Pro) which is what you need. I've not been able to find it inside Grokking the Gimp document. It may well be possible to do with the GIMP using a script that someone may have written... but you best option may be to use either Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop if you can get one of these. Note Dinker's PAL will not do what you want either.

============================

But (silly me I forgot this) use WinDinkEdit to do the screen grab. It saves in bmp format with the correct colours inside your DMOD directory as Screen001.bmp.

Plus as an added bonus it makes all unused square black so if you want to turn them into sea or mountains it's so much easier.

Therefore just... fire up WDE, load your DMOD - turn off the character display (if you have it on - I don't) hit spacebar and then watch the map displayed. Go to Tools menu and select take screenshot... if this option is grab then select a screen and TAB back out and it should be fine.

Now, fire up GIMP, load in the screen shot and go apply the Dink Palette using error diffusion, re save file and you're done!
