Hi there, can someone tell me how I can take all the colors from an image and create a custom palette(.PAL file) with them.

Thats pretty much it Smile

If your talking about for TS/Ra2, I save the image as PCX in 256 colours and then using XCC Mixer convert it into a palette.

How would I convert it into a palette. I dragged the image into the XCC Mixer and looked around for a way of converting it but couldnt find away. Could you explain exactly how to convert it like: go to view>palet>something something!!!!!

Please Smile

Don't drag it in. On the left theres a list of the files in the directory XCC Mixer is looking in, use that panel to find where your image is, then right click it -> Copy As Pal (TS)

Ok I just did what you said and when I click on Copy as PAL nothing seem to have happened. Would it be that the PAL file was created in a different location? Confused

EDIT: Forget what I said first. When I copy it, it says Copy failed, error 1?

Or open it in IrfanView? decrease color depth, export palette?

Nyerguds method part 2. Im not saying your method is wrong. Its just that it does not work for me as you can see. Maybe its the version of the program? You do have a U on yours version?
