Correcting Windy Colors:

The DOS and Windows version of ICR2 both have a different number of colors that you can use in a track. The DOS version can use the whole palette [all 256 colors] but Windy can only use a section of those colors. Which means that if a track still uses a color that is 'forbidden' in Windy then the track will not draw properly. It will have bright purple dots on the walls for example. Here is how to fix that:

1. Convert all .mip files in the track that have weird colors [or to keep it simple all of them] to .bmp using Winmip;

2. Load the track's sunny.pcx into your paint program of choice [I use PSP so will explain this using that program];

3. Choose "Edit Palette" and make all the colors in the following index numbers:
            0 to 31
            246 to 255
a very bright color that is likely not to be used in the track, like so:

I usually make them bright pink and although there are some pinks in the normal palette as well I have never had any problems where it didn't work doing it like this.

4. Choose "Save Palette" and save the edited palette as a .pal file, close the sunny.pcx but DO NOT SAVE;

5. Open all the .bmp files in your paint program;

6. Choose "Load Palette" for every .bmp file and click save [make sure "nearest color matching" is set] and save the .bmp files;

7. Convert the .bmp files back to .mip and put them back in the track.
