 "C<> My friends and I have been working on a Role-Playing-Game (RPG)
 "C<> for the past month and a half... We've run into 4 problems:

 "C<> 1. We decied to use screen 12 for the high resolution but we
 "C<> NEED 256 colours! At first we tried to use the palette
 "C<> statement to obtain the colours we desired but evertime we
 "C<> change one of the colours, it changes the associated colour
 "C<> on the screen! eg: I made colour 5 become shade 64 with the
 "C<> palette staement... now if I change colour 5 to a different
 "C<> shade, anything that colour 5 was, changes!!!!! Is there
 "C<> anyway to get more colours in screen 12????

No, not with the BCOM45 library. However there are a lot of shareware
libraries available, many of which support 640x480x256 mode. Check the
download directories of CRS in this manner:

z lib ns a

with your terminal program set on capture. Then go get a soda, cause that
will take a while...

 "C<> 2. I need to heavily illustrate small sections of the screen. I
 "C<> first tried making small *.PCX files and loading them with
 "C<> the pcx file loader for QB that I got from CRS. We found it
 "C<> too slow and not worth it. I made in Windows 3.1 great *.ICO
 "C<> files that were just the right size and only 16 colours. I
 "C<> need to know if anyone out there has some code that would
 "C<> load and display *.ICO file in QB.


 "C<> 3. Is there anyway to fade the screen in ANY mode to/from black?


 "C<> 4. I have a Soundbalster Pro and I have some great *.MOD and
 "C<> *.VOC files that would go great with the game. Does anyone
 "C<> have a program that would play the types of files (even
 "C<> *.ROL, *.MID or *.WAV would do) in QB??????


For 2, 3, and 4 check the capture file you got the first time. You'd be
amazed at what there is available. Or alternatively if you don't want to
wade through all those files, call 538-7911, 14400V42 and logon as GUEST.
