Angel, I realy think you sould just give it up.
But, new sudjestion, I assume that there is a Pallette somewhere in the system directory that corresponds with the screen. (Yes I know that maybe it will be different for each platform, but just do that ?win, ?Mac thing they do in the mods)
Find out from ppl who know where this is stored, And look see if its there.
ON a Seperate not, I agree with your comments about cross platform to a degree, but I do think that there are some things that we/you as developers should be keeping in mind.
In the past, this would have been that clock difference thing. Now if BMax were perfect, then it would have a command that told you if the screen was in 256 colors. But this command would probably be internaly different for each platform.
SO if you find the need to imppliment different methods for each platform, just do it. Just make sure that the actual command you write has the same footprint for each platform
BUT send the code to BRL and maybe it will be included in the next build.
