Title: Color Palette in 2k3
Post by: TeaBag on March 30, 2007, 02:14:51 AM
The whole limited color selection thing in rpg maker 2k3 has always annoyed me, and I've always wondered if I'm using as many colors as possible.  I was annoyed to find that the rtp tilesets actually has more colors than my own, which I save as 256 color bitmap.  what?  Can someone inform me as to how I can save my files w/ the most colors possible.  Does it have something to do w/ that retarded color table?

for example:
