I am trying to get 8bpp bitmaps with a custom palette to work in my
application. I have searched archives and found what I thought were the
answers, but still no success.

I am using Macintosh CodeWarrior 8.3 with the Mac PilRC plugin version
2.9p10b.

I have created a .pal file that looks like this:

255 255 255
247 255 255
239 255 255
...
6 14 31
9 10 12
0 0 0

with 256 entries, with a space at the end of each line.

My .rcp file looks like this:

PALETTE ID 1000 "W.pal"

BITMAPFAMILYEX ID 1100
BEGIN
BITMAP "frame_00_L01.BMP" BPP 1 DENSITY 1
BITMAP "frame_00_L04.BMP" BPP 4 COMPRESS DENSITY 1
BITMAP "frame_00_L08.BMP" BPP 8 BITMAPPALETTE "W.pal" DENSITY 1
BITMAP "frame_00_H08.BMP" BPP 8 BITMAPPALETTE "W.pal" DENSITY 2
END

I wind up with the two (low density and high density) 8bpp bitmaps solid
black. I have tried with and without the COMPRESS keyword for those
lines. Theose bitmaps appear solid black both when I draw them in my
app, and if I open the .prc with Constructor.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Ted
