Diablo II Palettes for Paint Shop Pro
=====================================

The "d2-act0.pal" is a special palette, designed to make items
that won't have problems. It have cyan for the index 0, and
magenta for the colors that changes from act to act.

Say you have a bitmap of an item you want to convert into a dc6
(either a truecolor or a indexed one).

   1. Take your bitmap and make the background cyan
   2. Make sure you don't have magenta in your bitmap
   3. Now convert it  : load the "d2-act0.pal" with the
      "nearest color matching" option, or even the
      "error diffusion dithering", BUT NOT the "maintain same index"

You have now an item with background properly set to index 0, and
which don't use the colors that change from act to act.

Now, just use dc6con or dc6maker, and your item should be all fine
(with dc6con, don't forget the '-transcol 0' option to have transparent
background, or else your item in the game won't be transparent : it
will have a black background instead)
