..okay,i used photoshop cs2 to draw my walkabout sprite.i used the same colors (maybe 15 to 16 colors) in all my frames.then i tried to save it frame by frame as an 8 bit bitmap (since i cant seem to save it as 4 bit bitmap using photoshop).and then i save the frames in 4bit bitmap using Ultimate Paint.when i imported my first frame (down frame),it turned out perfectly.but then when i imported another frame (the right/left frame) and either overwrite or not overwrite the current palette,the first frame that i imported recently will get its color messed up.is this a bug?i really,really need help with this one;my dating simulation game contest entry is at stake.
UPDATE: ..it turned out that wether i overwrite or not the current palette of my sprite,the colors will get rearranged.is there any way to fix this?

I don't use Ultimate Paint, so I don't think I can help you with that; however, I think I might be able to suggest a way to work around it.

After saving your first frame with Ultimate Paint as 4-bit, you can simply paste your other frames on top of your first frame in MS-Paint and then save those new frames under their original names in 4-bit.

Good luck with resolving your problem.

Each frame is getting its own palette. Although all those palettes have the same colors, the colors are not in the same order.

Try this:

In photoshop, put all the walkabout frames on a single image, side-by-side, and then save it. Then in Ultimate Paint, reduce the bit depth to 4-bit. Then finally, cut out each frame and re-save them separately as 4-bit.

(EDIT: Twinhamster's method sounds easier)

This is why we need '' . bug_title('413') . ''
