Prototypevoid load_palette(string[49] 256_color_bmp_file)

load_palette replaces the current palette with the palette found in 256_color_bmp_file. This will only work in 256 color mode, so if you plan on using palettes extensively, you may wish to use get_truecolor in start.c to force this.

By default, the palette is defined in Tiles/TS01.bmp.

Flawed

In some situations this function can cause the colors to mess up and change in a way unintended by the specified palette. A better option is to apply your palette to a BMP file and use copy_bmp_to_screen() to change the palette.
