there's no way around this - it's frontend-specific dithering for colour maps. Frontend's palette has lack of the colours that you used in the map.
It's natural to all colour maps. Some match WA's own palette, some don't

Doesn't frontend dither that down to fit?

It dithers it down to fit a palette appropriate during gameplay, not for displaying it in the front end. or at least thats how I think it works, leaving a window of opportunity for the map to not look correct in some situations.

methods of dithering are different.
How would you expect a dithering of 32-bit (RGB) maps otherwise? Frontend still runs in 256 colors

The map is 8-bit, though...

I think he means that the system responsible for dithering the image, has been tweaked to best handle 32bit images to the detriment of 8bit images. (When Project X is active)

yes, that's what I meant

Ah, so it replaces the original ditherer for all cases. I imagine it uses the wrong palette for color reduction, then.
