hey @MKLIUKANG1 there is something to fix on your resource text:

By default, the program sets the standard OpenBOR transparent color magenta (255, 0, 255) as the first index.

That information is incorrect—the engine doesn't care what color you use at that index, only the index itself (many engines that use 8-bit images do the same). In other words, the engine doesn't force magenta (255, 0, 255). It is simply a habit we have of using this color, as it stands out significantly from the other colors and is rarely used in sprites. Some people prefer using green (0, 255, 0) or another color that is less straining on the eyes.

The translator got it wrong. Yes, I know that one color can be anything. ))

I'm going to give this a try. How similar is this to Fighter Factory as far as palette creation?
