I was wondering if there was a .DLL file thingy that let you select a color and change it with another, i.e. like change the blue on the sprite to a red. The draw_color_blend_whateverit'scalled function isn't very pretty and doesn't work for what I want so I was wondering if such a .DLL existed.

And on that note, can anyone point me in the direction of some good music playing .DLLs for MP3 and/or .ogg format music? That'd help a lot!

And this IS the right place to ask this right? >_>;

For OGG, I'd go with supersound.dll

For the palette manipulation stuff... I'm not sure if there's a way to single out one specific color.

Hmm... What your could do is take the part you want to change colors and make that a separate sprite. Then just draw it right after the main sprite with the color you want. You won't even need a dll for that.

I've thought of that but it'd be -much- easier if there was a .dll that could pick out the individual colors and change them to a select different color, but I don't know if such a thing exists so I may just do it the long way :/

In what context is the colour-changing going to be used?

I suppose if it's for a player sprite, perhaps a sprite layering technique?

e.g. draw coloured sprite(can shift hue/sat), then skin over the top of it.

It should be fairly simple to force them to matching patterns(sprite desync being your nemesis here...

I'm going for a Megaman-like color change. Example: Megaman's standard colors are blue and cyan. When he changes to a special weapon, he changes those two colors, i.e. for a Rush item, he turns blue and cyan into red and white.

Bear in mind I've no clue how to use surfaces and the sort... should probably learn how though >_>;

I'm pretty sure you could do that by changing the player's sprite instead, it's not too hard.
