I have a question. If I DirectDrawSurface7.Blt from an 8-bit surface to a 24-bit surface, will it work? I just read this thing that says it doesnt convert pixel format, it just copies the bits.
And the reason I can't just try and figure it out is because I still can't create a 256 color surface without changing the display mode or using createsurfacefromfile. I've been trying to figure this out for quite a while now, and no one will tell me how. If you know how could you please just tell me?
you can make a 256 color bitmap using paint. when you go to save it click save as and for the file type select 256 color bitmap.

I'm making an RTS in DDraw 7. I think I know how to use Paint.Quote:
without changing the display mode or using createsurfacefromfile.
Someone else asked that question in this same forum; he wanted to create a 256-colors surface from a resource file, so he couldn't use "CreateFromFile" (or whatever :) ) .
He didn't get an answer, the only possible way would be to create it from a blank file and then modifying the surface.
And yes, it's possible and it will not just copy the bits. :p
Lol, that was prolly me askin about that. And yes I found out.
And .Blt will work? Good. Finally. Thanks

If you edit your post after you post it the first time, it says that under your footer.
If you could do that, I would have my post number in my footer.
....or were you just joking?
