Hello,

Would someone please help me? I think I might be running into a palette issue.

I have been creating all my art for some time in windows paint. The intention was quick and easy "place holder" art to get the code right. Well the code for my project is coming along nicely, and now I want to plug in art that I would actually want other humans to see.

I created a little explosion ball using paint.net and saved it as "explode5.bmp". If I try to use any art created in this program, the engine won't even run. (See following screen capture of annoying message.)

Things I have tried checking:
* the name is right
* the file is in the right place
* the software used to create it is closed, and not "hogging" the file
* tried saving as 24 bit and as 256 color

I can create art in windows paint and it works. If I create it in windows.net it won't. The only thing I have found by digging in the instructions and forum is that it might have to do with the palette. I haven't found anything that tells me how to fix the problem though.


Anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you
