Importing a traction map to D2?

[VMX_SKYmx99]

Ok,  I must be skipping a step somewhere....  I made a traction map with the colors shown in the D2 helpfile, saved it as a 16bit .bmp and tryed to import it in d2.  I got an error saying it isnt a 16 color bitmap.  What am I doing wrong?

16 bit is way more than 16 colors.  I use paint shop pro and there is an option in the menu to decrease color depth.  Look for something similar and choose 16 colors.

Yea u need to save it with ur own pallette, I remember that was pretty easy with Paint Shop Pro, never tried it in Photoshop

Ok, I got.  Myth told me to save it and open it in paint.  There I can save it as 16 color.  Easy enough.

Well sure, if you want to take the easy way out.
