Problem with 8bit bmp - JayR1994 - 03-28-2024
Hi there
I need little help with gimp,.
I don't know if I'll get an answer because it also has to do with the old PC game.
Well, there is a game called TOCA 2: Touring cars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOCA_2:_Touring_Cars
The PC edition of this game allows using custom car liveries. They must be of size 256 x 256 in 8 bit BMP.
Thanks to Gimp I can save 8-bit BMP because MS Paint or Photoshop cannot save 8bit BMP, and here's the problem, I did everything right but the car livery in the game are mess up. (im using gimp 2.10.36)
At first I thought I was using it on the wrong car but no, no matter what car I use, the livery iis still messed up, I don't know why? I had to download other car liveries from one website and they work without any problems there. Could someone explain to me what I did wrong?
Here website with already made car liveries by someone else

Of course, I understand that you don't have this game to check it, so how you get this game it's your problem, I have mine when it was added to one out of print magazine focusing to video games(not only).
It's surprising that such an old game started on win10, but it didn't allow you to play, fortunately there is a patch to fix that problem.

Have you set Do not write color space information in the Compatibility Options Leaving it un-ticked sometimes causes problems.

Thanks it works now, I thought this option was already checked right away.
