ps: why? because i made all my graphics in 24 bit and i made the game in 16 bit mode.. okay, it all works, but it looks much better if i convert the bitmaps to 16 bit.

24bpp to 16bpp
Author
anyone knows about a handy converter which converts bitmaps from 24 bit to 16 bit bitmaps? it should be able to convert many bitmaps at once.
thanks in advance

The problem is, there are hardly any 16 bit bitmap formats. I think TGA (Targa) supports it, but I dunno. I save mine as raw data, and sadly have no converter.
24 bit color modes have a full range of RGB values 0-255
16 bit color modes are a word values
in 16 bit color Red has 5 bits , green has 6(sometimes 5), and blue has 5
RED shift values right 3
GREEN shift values right 2
BLUE shift values right 3
blue+green(2^5)+red(2^11)=your color value
blue has bits 0-4 (5 bits)
green has bits 5-10 (6 bits)
red has bits 11-16 (5 bits)
