Do tilesets have to be 256 colours?

I've started making some tiles but they loose detail when I have to save the image as 256 indexed colour. Is there any way to get a 16bit tileset in game?

I tried and it just wont work in the editor.

Thanks.

Heh, it's possible in Editor, yeah. But online it must be 256 colors. >.> Are you using Photoshop?

It's exactly the opposite. The editor only accepts <=256 colors, the game supports 24 and 32 bit tilesets. If you want to use a 24bit tileset then upload the good image to the server but convert it to 8 bit for the editor only.

Aaah! Thanks.

Didn't realise it was just the editor that didn't support better quality tilesets.
