Why I can't paste the shadow into SB
I'm using the RA2 SHP Tools by pd. When I do import in SB I got blank shadow frames. I tried to paste it manually but the shadow just disappeared and I got a canvas of blue (#0).
SHP Builder tries to find the closest matching color of the palette for any pixel of the importing image.
If you have 2 so very similar blue colors for background and shadow, SHP Builder can't match them correct.
You use (RGB)
240,100,100 background
240,100,89 shadow
The game palette uses
240,100,99 background
240,100,77 shadow
obviously is your shadow closer to the ingame background, than the shadow color
To avoid color conflicts like these, most use custom palettes just for the conversion/import. e.g. create/use a palette where shadow (#1) is purple and then render stuff with purple shadows. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
