I have a big problem with colors and palettes.
I have a sprite and a background which both use the same palette made in the
windows paint program. I put them both in a datafile (using "Grabber"), and
read the palette from the background picture. Everything looks fine in
Grabber, but when I use them in my program the colors are always wrong. When
I use set_palette the colors change, but never the way they are supposed to.
Please help me, this is very frustrating.
Here's the code for the graphic settings:
#include "allegro.h"
#include "spill.h"

int x = 400;
int y = 300;
int aninr = 3;
int next;
int a;
char string[100];

BITMAP *tank;
DATAFILE *data;

int main()
{
 allegro_init();
 install_keyboard();
 clear_keybuf();
 next = FALSE;

 set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 800, 600, 0, 0);

 data = load_datafile("spill1.dat");
 aninr = 3;
 a = 0;
 set_palette(data[palette001].dat);

 tank = create_bitmap(800, 600);
