Hi. I'm a very long-time user of BoR and OpenBOR, just coming back to it now after a loooong time. 
There's something I can't figure out though and reading the manual and a forum search didn't turn up anything.
I added a video.txt file with colourdepth 16bit, and OpenBOR crashes just after the Now Loading screen. If I comment (#) colourdepth, it runs normally. I checked an old PAK I was working on and was apparently using 16bit mode fine back then. Has something changed in the last few...years that require more settings to use 16 or 32bit mode?
UPDATE: the problem seems to be something about not being able to find a palette for a character. Not sure exactly what it's looking for, but when I comment out my character, it runs fine. I'll keep working on it.
UPDATE: Problem solved, there was a PNG that hadn't been converted to 256 colors. Irfanview does a very good job of making working palettes with no manual adjustments necessary. Even Photoshop CC wasn't doing it as easily. Thanks and sorry for the false alarm.
