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
