okay, i didn't think so, but apparently a BMP has a masking colour just like all the other DMI files. i made an image in adobe photoshop, saved as a BMP ans used it in my BYOND DreamMaker. However, the defualt colour fo gray is the masking colour in a BMP, therefor, since this image contains loads of gray, it has little spots, and circles that are masked out, due to the colour. how do i change that colour for a BMP?

You don't it's hardcoded. Unless you mean how do you change the BMP itself -- which you would do in an app like PaintShop Pro, using the color swapper functionality.


And Dantom put this in there at our request...it was annoying to NOT have the mask color work.
