If you create .raw files from these images, palette.dat and lookup.dat would no longer be necessary.

Be careful when editing these files. Some of the colors in the palette are identical, but the images use different indices.

Could you by any chance make something like this for Blood?

I couldn't read Blood format.

Added Blood palette.

Is there any documentation about how to use this new feature? How'd you even learn about it?

[Fox]

Save as .raw in Photoshop. Except for game palettes, the images should use a 256 colors table.

Use "offset" for multiple palettes in a single file.

The shade table is set for each individual palette, unless you use "noshades".



Game palette

basepalette 0 { raw { file "basepalette.raw" } }
basepalette 1 { raw { file "basepalette.raw" offset 768 } }

Blend table

blendtable 0 { raw { file "blendtable.raw" } }
blendtable 1 { raw { file "blendtable.raw" offset 65536 } }

Lookup palette

palookup 1 { raw { file "palookup.raw" } }
palookup 2 { raw { file "palookup.raw" offset 256 } }
palookup 3 { raw { file "palookup.raw" offset 512 noshades } }

Thanks!

Right now I've manually converted 2 palettes using the color picker tool but it's very time consuming, anyone know a way of automate converting while maintaining palette index values?

I use Photoshop for most stuff.

Hmmm... This has allowed me to verify that my P3 palette is a perfect match. The other palettes... not so good.

Here are 11 of the PLUs converted into PSP palette format in case anyone still uses this fossil of a program.

EDIT: Never mind, I found them in a later post. My bad.

I'm bumping this thread (which has been very useful to me) to add this. The palswaps for Witchaven (note that this starts on pal 1, not pal 0, this is how it is stored in lookup.dat)

Noticed something odd about Powerslave, in PALETTE.DAT there's a shade table



However, in NORMAL.RMP there is a different shade table, with 64 shades instead of 32.



Anyone know which of these shadetables is actually used by the game?
