blitting sprites

First: That's a jpeg file (so the original colours are lost)
Second: Even still, that looks like violet not purple. I get about 204,153,209 when looking at that 'pink'. It's nowhere near 255,0,255 which is what you need.

Attach the original BMP file please.

That's definitely the wrong pink.
[edit]
Don't use JPEGs. Use BMPs, because JPEG compression messes with the colors.

PSP looks at the 'pink' and says:

R: 160
G: 64
B: 192

Do you understand what we are asking? ???

Look at the image I attached. That's the pink you should use. Open mspaint, use the eye drop tool, and fill in your background with that exact color.

Download Jonny's image, rename it to sprite.bmp, copy it to your code folder, run your program and see if that works ok.

Just try what I suggested. It should work.

That color is grey, yes. The color you want is 255, 0, 255. You've got the first number right.

johnny cook: sigh, when you said "dude, thats purple", that was 255,0, 255

Attach the sprite.bmp, not a screenshot.

[edit]-that probably won't work because it'll be too big of file size, you'll have to make an image link.

I'm afraid you are wrong. The exact color in the image was RGB(160, 64, 192). At least that's the color in the image you posted.

[edit]
If the BMPs small it will be okay.

What colordepth is your programm running in?

I'm just asking because allegro docs quote this:

allegro manual said:

For 256-color bitmaps this is zero, and for truecolor bitmaps it is bright pink (maximum red and blue, zero green).

And what type of bitmap are you saving sprite.bmp as?

Coincedentally, 'p' is the farthest letter from 'a'. ;D

Have you tried using the bitmap I posted yet?

Attach the original sprite.bmp you want to use. I will recolour the background to the correct colour and reattach it to my post.

Then tell us what happened.

[EDIT]
