im sure that it exsist millions of tutorails on this but send me a link then instead to say "search on google!!!!!"
every time i open a half life texture in paint shop pro 8 i can only use the colors that exsist on the texture (if it is a weapon i can only use gray nad not yellow or something).
[sorry for my english]
change texture with all colors [closed]

MMM... sausage.
The reason that this happens (the color in the textures thing) is that the textures have their own paletts, or pallets, or something like that... anyways, it forces the texture to use only certaint colors, the best may I have found around this is to open the texture up in paint (really freakin old) and then select all of it, open another new picture in paint with the same deminsions and paste it into the new one, this will remove the pallet, or palett... whatever. The only problem is that paint has trouble saving pictures in 264 bit color, so if the texture is for a HL model (it must be 264 bit color.) copy it into wally, then export it as a bmp. Then you can use it in a model.
I bet there is a simpler way of doing this, but I don't know it.

(264 bit color???
I think you are talking about a value of 256 in color depth.)
To make the texture you desire, you must increase the color depth to 16 million colors.
When you are done, save the image as a bmp image with a color depth of 256 colors.

For photoshop, it's Image > Mode > RGB color.

If you mean that you use .BMP then you are right,Pyroclasm!

In Paint Shop Pro, it's Ctrl+Shift+0 to go to full-color, then Ctrl+Shift+3 to go back to palleted 256-colour (which you need for HL).
