help with rpg in qb 4.5!!

Hello Everyone:


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


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


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


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


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


ANY help no mater how small would be GREATLY appreciated....

PS: We're DESPARATE!!!
