Try this palette, the one I used in DOSArena: 0: magic pink (r=63 g=0 b=63) for transparency 1-15 the standard DOS colors 16-31 color ramp from black to white 32-39 whatever you want (for palette animation) 40-255 a 6x6x6 color cube (0, 12, 25, 38, 51, 63 for each component) Oh, by the way, this is a good question to ask the Allegro mailing list. Find out how at Allegro's homepage: http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ There's another article I wrote in this thread that tells how to extract this palette from DOSArena. -- Damian Yerrick CM 398, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 5500 Wabash Ave Terre Haute, IN 47803 http://come.to/yerrick
