NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Silverwind]

My beautiful new sprites won't display properly in GM. The colours come out all bland and crap like, so I may have to swap platforms for Elathondréoth.

What's the colour range in SC?

[Gan]

Whoa. :O Can this be true!? Silver coming go Sc!?
I think the colors display perfectly in Sc.

I just tried it in GameMaker. It looks exactly the same to me. GM doesn't do anything to the graphics except display them.

Odd..  Why don't you change the graphic format ?
It might be a problem with QuickTime

I thought GM was limited to thousands of colors?  I could be totally wrong.

Aha, a glimpse of hope! Here's how it renders for me:



To me, the lush vibrance of the trees has become a soggy moss, and the grass looks dry and dehydrated. Maybe it's because I spent most of last night staring at a 500% x 500% blowup of the tree, but the difference is soul crushing. The beauty is drained, drained I say!

How does it display on your end?

[EqwanoX]

theres a slight shade of difference, i say convert to sc anyway

my god, the window is so tiny

Don't use PNG. Use an older file format such as PICT that you can be sure GameMaker will work with.
The problem is probably in different interpretations of the same PNG.

But that's entirely my point, GM's colour spectrum doesn't seem to exceed the quality of pics and gifs, which don't accommodate my palette. I reckon I'll end up settling on the quality decrease this time, as I've come too far with the Roguesoft RPG Engine to see it unused, but my desire for lush greens will likely take me elsewhere for future games.

Hasten thy approach, oh fair 4.0!

dont hold your breath!

....lololol the graphic box has hardley any draw distance!

Other idea : convert your PNG to a different colorspace

[Silverwind]

I did. Neither RPG nor CMYK worked.

[EqwanoX]

how does it look in sc?

[Silverwind]

Ah, that's perfect! One day Eq, one day...

[GabrielCA]

So you got it working ?
Good thing.

If this game is ever released, I can only play it if it's in GM format (I have an old OS X !)
