Microsoft Paint recoloring NPC sprites

Hello, I am currently mapping the sprites of the soldier Mimiga in Guest.pbm, having used Booster's Lab to convert all the art to bmp, And I started assigning the soldier sprites to Quote's sprites. However, when I reload the image or play the mod, it reduces the amount of colors, basically ruining the sprite. is there a way to temporarily turn this off? Ether I'm really dumb or just plain lazy
Damn, this guy already made what I'm trying to create

 

Um, does it also happen when you simply import the sprites to "MyChar"?
If so, it probably happens because "MyChar" uses an indexed 'color mode'. You need to change that to RGB if you want to import all the colors.

 

Do this and you should be good:
Save As -> 24 bit bitmap (.bmp)

 

TYSM!!

You saved my life thank you
