Triple post? S'not like you, Sesq mate.

BTW, your link to Bright wasn't having any of it, so I went and searched File Mirrors to find a working one. This one, in fact :)

Artifact of the real time conversation Law Enforcer and I were having.  He'd keep editing his posts, and I'd respond to the new bits.

Yeah, come on Free Terran. 16.7M colours is unnecessary (at least for now and as long as we have human eyes), and would probably result in a big performance hit in the interface. As well as that, there is negligible gain, and lots of programming work required. If you're still dead set on getting this feature in, maybe you ought to take up programming and learn to do it yourself.

pcxutils/pcxutils.cpp

has the basic PCX decompression code

and bmpman\bmpman.cpp has the implementation within  bm_lock_pcx

I think it would be easiest to change pcx_read_bitmap_8bpp so that it could interpet 24 bit PCX files as well

note the final code will probly be fairly small and you will not see any diference in the game.
becase they all get converted to 32/24 bit (depending on how you look at it) textures anyway

btw the shades are probably THE ONLY case when a CG created image suffers a little from reducing the color to 256, for obvious reasons

in this case i probably would limit the colors of the inner sun first (cut the sun from the overall image then limit its colors A LOT), then put image together and convert it to 256: you will have more color room for the corona
or work with a custom palette (good luck...)
btw the quality loss is anyway minimal so i don't see the urgent necessity of changing this. 24bit could be probably useful for alpha channel but i'm not expert in this so i'm not sure

you've got to learn how to program in c(++) and then you have to lern how the FS source works, then you have to figure out how the PCX file format works, then you have to figure out how to merge in 24 bit PCX file suport into the current set up without breaking anything, then you have to do it, then you have to hunt bugs.

note; this is _not_ a,
ALOW_24_BIT_PCXES == true;
type of thing

Free Terran, 24bit aint needed. As Seq already explained and showed, proper conversions wil look just as good as 24bit files. And i find it hilarious you want to change it your self in the source code just give up.

How many time do people have to tell you, that 24bit interface aint needed!?

And you are pissing people off by demanding things.
