@Kevin - no, it wasn't me, I was using a public portal (Library) and the IP regestered as the same, but I can see where you where going with that.

but I still dont understand... do you mean someone else from the library registered to this forum? Otherwise why creating a second account? Anyway I disabled creating accounts with same email addresses to prevent people posting as someone else or stuff like this and any suspicious accounts will be deleted and the IP banned.

Maybe you should use zpic for storing the sprites or wait if tr1p1ea add new pics format to xLIB (which will probably be later since he's busy with school and stuff atm)

i say use zpic, then recall the boss pic u want and store it so xlib can use it

yeah Zpic rulez ^^
no really... what I do for batlles is specify which pics contain the needed sprites, then while the screen is cleared, I set the contrast to zero and recall the pics with Zpic and store them into Pic-9, then: clear the screen and reset the contrast to whatever it was before... it

Well, if I do everything right I can still use those last rows of pixels that BASIC can't use but xLIB can, and if I can do some intresting sprites I *might* be able to fit them all into 4 pics... hrm, that IS a lot of sprite space too. *CDI

okay, well I've eliminated 12 useless sprites, moved some things and somehow gained like 23 sprite spaces, so it's going better (but the backgrounds are gonna be hard...)

I do kinda the same thing, how I do GS is bad practice though, I set the contrast to 0 then make a spritemap of all the "masks" for GS then I store that to pic 0 then I overwrite that with the normal sprites and set the contrast to whatever the user had it at and repeatedly do "real(3,0,3,1" and "real(1,8D-8,8C-8,8,1,8,5,E,A8,3,0,1" to make the map GS and the usersprite GS too!

Those are both very clever grayscale methods (including Kevin's and Spellshaper's method). :ph43r:

Is it grayscale or greyscale? I think both acceptable names.

@Ranman - thanks, it's just the obvious solution, if it was an SE I'd just do the command to make the GS masks but instead of overwrite I'd set it to XOR then do the user sprite and there ya go (that means I can change the map WHILE you're on it)
