In time yes. There is still some unanswered question: why is this palette modification being done? I tried importing a new image instead of the logos, with exactly the same size and pre-converted the palette. However, the game hung when the image was about to come up. So, there is more to the palett...

Yes, and here's a part of the picture in PT Explorer with active alpha (transparency), it works 100%. 47_legal_ssh_file1_pt_alpha.jpg It's half as bright, because the game uses 128 as max opacity (0 transparency) instead of 256 assumed by PT Explorer. So you see it as 50% transparent against a black...

Yes, hehe, that looks a lot better doesn't it:
That's the logo bit at the start. I've extracted the bitmap and palette from 47_legal.ssh and converted the palette to my idea. Notice how the colours now match !

I've noticed something interesting. Those modulated palette entries (16 bytes in lenght) are actually two sets of 8 entries that are switched position in game. So the first set becomes second and the second becomes first.

Well, tell that someone to compress large files first using 7z on maximum setting, so you have minimal upload and download times.

Doesn't anybody read the rules? MEGAUPLOAD is prohibited, take another File Sharing Service!

And why did you not compress the file with 7z first??

You have source code? How did you edit the tool? If you have source code you can program an extract all option yourself? I'm uncertain what you ask. Are there still example files? RTX3 files? I read this in that old thread: FileID As Long TotalSize As Long Long1 As Long Long2 As Long Long3 As Long S...

Also, read the rules on which upload services are allowed (RAPIDSHARE is not !)

Interesting, I got a picture in, using only the primaries. It shows as intended. Note I edited the picture's palette to have only the primaries remain and all other colours I made black. Note how the rest of the picture is now as "corrupted" as we see it in a paintprogram. The colour modul...

I might do that.

The next update you can at least save and load only the alpha values. Look, what you should do is chose a colour that will be fully transparent. Mostly this is colour 0 (make it black or something). Then whenever you wish parts of the picture to be fully transparent, you draw with this colour. If yo...

just fyi, if you don't upload one of the archives nobody will ever take a look at it I agree. We don't want to be forced to install a game just to look at the files. I only do that when it is clear I really need to take a look at the executable while the game is running to find an algorithm of some...

Ok, just a small update so I don't forget. I've been working with the 47_legal.ssh file, the first picture is the one with all the logo's of the national competitions that you see during boot of the game. I created a test picture that showed the complete palette of the picture as squares of 14x14, 1...

Nice going, Rick!

Brilliant job! Sorry for my slow routine to preview the Alpha ( ). Great tutorial.
