Dear Don;

Sorry for taking so long to get around to this. I've been a bit distracted/busy.

How are you holding up?

Can someone please help me?. I am trying to create an 89x89 pink square and no matter what I try to enter into the shp file list I keep drawing a blank

Are you trying to make a transparent square or a pink-ish square?

There is a specific color that is designated "transparent" by the game code; it's pink-ish in color.

The exact value of this transparent color is:

#ffe6e6 (HTML code to cut and paste into Paint Shop Pro Color Picker)

R: 255
G: 230
B: 230
H: 255
S: 255
L: 243

ANYTHING THIS COLOR WILL BE TREATED AS TRANSPARENT (BLANK) BY THE GAME CODE

If you're trying to add a transparent bitmap into an existing SHP file using SHPEd, I can walk you through this process tomorrow.
