Specialists not going obsolete

Yep.  I changed a credit detail and resaved it in in GIMP - which messes up the palette.  I'll have to do some pasting in Photoshop, which handles all that under the hood.

Hmph.  Can't get Photoshop to run, but here's the unaltered original...

It looks like there is still an issue with this one as well. You can test using the exe in post #12.

On another note, I think I might be able to streamline the patch. I'm going to look into applying it to Yitzi's latest.

I. will. be. dipped.

Back then, I would have done it in Photoshop, which didn't have these kinds of problems.  -All I can guess is that it's something to do with you making me change the background color to pink, or this file has a different palette than the faction files, which is the one I'd load on a .pcx mod.

I can't fix this unless I can get a copy of Photoshop running, which I'm guessing I can't.  Does anyone have PS and know their way around this kind of thing a little?  I can probably talk someone through it...

I used photoshop to put together a version that doesn't seem to have the pink halo problem. Although, there is another issue with icon shadows I'll need to work out. I believe this is a Sprite code issue, not PCX issue.

I found a large amount of memory that is never referenced or used. Yitzi isn't using it for any of his patch as well. I'll put together a revised patch sometime later this week.

Paint.net has option 'keep original palette' or something like that. But I remember once I had problems with something anyway. Few times it worked ok though.

Here is a tweaked version. All the issues should be sorted. I revised the patching method to reduce the amount of bytes required (now: 14 locations, 207 bytes vs original: 51 locations, 289 bytes). This patch shouldn't interfere with Yitzi's. You should be able to merge the patched bytes without any problems.

Make sure to use the PCX from post #19. Any testing and feedback would be appreciated. I didn't have a saved game that used negative resources.
