Hey everybody, I don't really know if I should put this here, but anyway...

While trying to get the tileset image from a tileset (in this case Carrotus) I drag the file into tileset.exe (Neobeo's Tileset Extractor) and I get two images, Carrot1-image.png and Carrot1-mask.png.

All good so far, but when I load the image(s) in Palette Suite, all I get is a 16 color large palette, completely black.

What to do? =|

(I have version 2.31, downloaded from Alister's page (http://treacle.hewwo.com/palsuite/index.html))

I'm looking into the problem. Right now, I'd recommend you convert the image to another compatible file format and try again.

I have found and fixed the problem.

I don't have access to the most recent version of the code right now, so it'll be over a week before I'll be able to put up a new version. In the meantime, convert all 7-bit and 8-bit PNGs to another compatible file format. 1-6 bit PNGs should work fine.

If there are any other bugs anyone has noticed, always feel free to tell me about them. Telling me during the next 9 days would be nice, though.

P.S. This thread should probably be moved to JCS...

Would it be too much to ask for the ability to use undo and redo for more than one step? At least 10 steps would be great.

Make it import palettes directly from J2T =)

Great!

I agree with both BlurredD and Neobeo, btw. :)

Sadly, neither suggestion is feasible. I haven't looked at the code in years, and the language I coded it in is so primitive that implementing either would be long and painstaking.

This is not the case for Palette Suite 3, which is being recoded from scratch. But I have no idea when that will be released. Right now it can't even load palettes.

Anyway, I've <a href="http://www.alister.eu/palsuite/downloads.html">uploaded the fix</a>.
