Melnorme background switch from blue to red is jerky

[GoogleCodeExporter]

See capture.
Melnorme background is supposed to turn to purple when ready to trade and to 
turn blue when ready to fight.

Added graphics. Comm graphics needs to be re-programmed.

It turns blue at the very first time you encounter Melnorme, if you threaten 
them. It's their "attack" color :-)

Blue now added in addition to purple. Will need to test though.

I haven't still figured out a way to make the transition smooth instead of 
single-frame change. Increasing .pngs and lines in the .ani file don't help, 
it's a matter of getting the ONE_SHOT_ANIM wirking correctly. Need to figure 
out how it goes...

It seems the screen turns purple twice when you meet the melnorme.
It immediately goes from red to purple when he starts speaking, then back to 
red, then back to purple where it stays.

In my memory, it's red as long as he talks, until he starts trading "Now, What 
can We do For you, Today?" and then it becomes purple and stays purple.

Well spotted. I removed an unnecessary color change from the start of Melnorme 
comms, worked for me, but do test still!

Still a glitch when switching from blue back to red.
This happens when you have threatened the Melnorme (they switch to blue) and 
then later in the conversation you tell them you were joking and were just 
"testing" and are in fact friendly. They turn back to red, but you can see some 
sort of a square visually (probably not enough steps to make it smooth or 
something).

I am adjusting the title and putting it back to open on a low priority.
