Default Re: Lbm List

Some colour pics flicker, especially when accessed over a 'running water' hex. But then, so do (or did) some of the old b/w lbms. I've asked this several times and never received a full response, but I believe there is a sequence of colours within the palette that is prone to flicker, and especially if you leave a stray pixel of one of these colours, off it goes.

However, in my experience the lbm will only flicker if you right-click on an enemy unit within the game (which IMHO is gamesmanship anyway, because it lets you know whether or not his tank is still fully crewed or whether he's got one poor Joe left trying to drive/fire/get the f*** out of the tank!).

I have played with colour lbms in my own oobs for several years, and other than flickering, they have absolutely no effect on game play whatsoever.
