aha so thats why sometimes if you add an lvz background it looks good in a editor but not in the zone itself. coz the bg colours arnt availible so it converts to colours which are availible.

Where it says background color, that doesn't mean your bg lvz must be that color, it means the color of the background if there was no lvz "floor", ie the blackness of space.

 

Colors may not look good in the zone itself if you didn't use the 256 color subspace palette (which you can get by viewing tiles.bm2, ships.bm2 uses the old ss palette). To get around this in cont. click options -> graphics, then change "color depth" to anything other than 8 (I use 16).
