Why does that mean they have to be 16-bit depth?
Quesa AFAIK uses 16 Bit.
For what? It uses 16 bit if you use AddShapePicture, and 32-bit if
you use AddShapePictureWithMask. If you use something else (e.g.
AddShapeFromFile), it uses whatever the 3DMF code is defined to use.
There is no automatic truncation to 16 bits.
I experienced this once I had a water texture with
a gradient of 256 colors of blue. They got truncated (VERY ugly). So I
looked around a bit and found somewhere (I don't remember where) a sentence
in a documentation that said quesa uses 16 bit depth internally.
Sounds like a mistake or a misintepretation to me.
Much better. I solved the above described problem by dithering the texture
with Graphicconverter (it is not easy to find a program that is capable of
changing the color depth from 32 to 16).
Ah yes, GraphicConverter is an indispensable tool to any game developer!
The monitor is set to 16.7 millions.
Then there is no reason you shouldn't be using 32-bit color.
