A simple question regarding gradients.

I just need to know why this (already indexed):


shows up like this in mugen.


And how do I avoid it.

I'd appreciate anyone who answers because this stage has been kicking my butt every step of the way and I'm a bit frustrated.

So there's a dark blue gradient at the bottom of the image? Or am I just seeing things?

If the problem is with the gradient, then you might want to make it brighter, if it's not showing up well.

If it has to do with why Kung Fu Man is in the freaking sky, then it's a positioning problem, and no more.

I'm saving the image so I can see if I can produce a better effect for you.

I should've been more clear. Pay no mind to the fact that KFM is floating in the sky. I just deleted the other stage objects to show off the sky better. What I am asking is why MUGEN displays my sky with a rough ripple effect when my original image is already indexed and looks fine.

ah, mugen runs on 16 bit color depth, so it might screw up those kinds fo effects. your best bet is to reduce the image to 16 bits with a certain encoding before paletizing it. I think jango's tutorial has more info on that as he faced a similar problem.

Decreasing to 16bit before indexing and even RGB method didn't work. I had to dither the heck out of it with irfanveiw just to get it decent.

[E] Your leading me to Jango's RBG tutorial helped me out a LOT on another part of the stage though. Thanks for that.
