Use the RIBlitzLibs commands PalInfo and PalAdjust. HAng on, I'll try
and write some code now, although its bound not to work since I don't
have my manual in front of me. 8) SOrry for mistakes, but I'm sure
Steve will correct me if I get it wrong, he loves doing that 8)
; I always render to a separate pal, to maintain the original
; although you can do this in one pal if you want. If you render
; to a separate pal, make sure it has the same number of colours.
; the delay param should be a small number. You can also change the
; rate by altering the step number, I typically use 0.02 or 4 etc
; remember to have your bitmap set to black first. Looks nicer.
