Yeah I wish Paint had this. There's Photofiltre though, that can do it. Just make sure to get the free version if you find it, not Photofiltre Studio.

yeah but that's not as user friendly as paint, photofiltre and to a lesser extent, Photofiltre Studio and Paint Shop Pro 5 or lower

Paint's color replace function exists... It's pretty simple too. It's more of a color replacement eraser, but still, it helps a lot.
You just select the color you want to replace as your primary color, set the color you want to replace it with as your secondary color, then hold the right mouse button and drag the eraser over the picture.

Btw, I just converted all the units into a .gst. Now for the tiles...

you're a life saver

with this done, development will go 1000% faster, because then I can work solely on just the engine, which should be easy now that I'll have the actaul sprites.  If you can finish them pretty soon (hopefully by tomorrow morning by 5:00 AM) that would be great and then I can quickly print out the code, and spend tomorrow transferring the sprites and then working on the battle system

I truly owe you big time

Oh right, that. That can take a long while on large pics, though, right?

wow, these sprites are cool on my calc's actual screen...

battle engine in progress.  I made a drawing loop where it draws units, structures, and terrain, and scrolls through the 30x30 map

 next, I'll make the HUD and some other things like being able to make your own buildings and stuff.  Then unit spawning, then the fun begins when I make a funcitioning enemy team

EDIT: and FinaleTI, you got your wish on the progress, you cut like a week off of my development time expectancy -- I might have a beta done in 2 weeks

I OWE YOU BIG TIME lol

Keep up the good work!

New status:  I now have it where there is a dynmic list of all the units and stuff, and the code si a bit mor organized so that I can program this thing more efficiently

Small update, I know, but if you could see the super organized code you'd be very impressed

EDIT: I really need to work on my typing skills, look at all those spelling mistakes!!
