Mastering the Palette

Zero18 · Posted: Sun Apr 07, 2013 1:44 am Post subject: Mastering the Palette

Well, I couldn't find my other topics about palettes, yeah I hurled too many topics in random places. Laughing

But, since I was making SHP animation for the weapon projectiles. Those projectiles color are from unittem.pal, but that was not what I wanted. I wanted to make those projectiles color to fit the new custom.pal and not any other pals. So, how do I make the projectile color connect to the custom.pal color??

Within TS/RA2/YR, you have three palettes to work with:
by default, projectiles will use palette.pal
FirersPalette=yes renders it in unittem.pal
AnimPalette=yes renders it in anim.pal.

Voxel projectiles only use unittem.

Custompaletted projectiles needs either Ares or NPatch. In both cases, you must use a flag for setinng the custom palette (CustomPalette=filename.pal in Ares, dunno NPatch) AND listing the projectile's image on the Animations list (in the other cases, it's not needed).
