: OMG!! we've all been duped!! I just ran a small count on the number of colors in the splash screen, guess how many:
: 174!!
: WTF is going on here??
: i also tried the editor splash screen, and that has 233 colors on it... hmmmmmmmm..
: my suspicions are deepened by the fact that there don't seem to be any bright reds in the splash screen. Now I'm really confused.. any ideas??
You must be doing something really, really, really wrong.
True, esplash.bmp has some issues... but splash.bmp and the rest of the tiles should be fine.
You do know how the 256 color bmp file format is done, right? The first 54 bytes control the header of it, which has such fun things as the file size, dimensions, etc. in it.
Then the next 1024 bytes is the pallete... each pallete entry takes up 4 bytes, one for red, one for green, one for blue, and a blank byte.
Then after that, the bmp stores the lowest line of the bmp, referencing the color in the pallete with a simple byte.
All of that was done by the wonders of reverse engineering a while ago... but I'm sure there are much more detailed explanations around the web.
I'm not sure what you're doing... but splash.bmp definately has a 256 color pallete. It might not use all of the colors in it... but it is still there.
