Its not really a pallete file. Schummi is the man for this, but Julian can also. Basically you need to generated the M, T, L resolution tiles, then find a specific pallete for all the T resolution tiles and basically take this pallete file and convert it to the fartiles.pal with the help of Schummi.

I'm gonna put up simpe tutorial soon (just gotta find the time (and energy:)) hehe.

Anyhow, here is quick story:
First I created the new texture.bin with added tiles, using Julian Onions instructions of Tilenames.

Then I made something which I think is pretty cool, there was no software on my harddisk and could not find one on the net that renamed and reSIZED pcx images automatically (like on a batch). So I got this ancient ALCHEMY image program and used some 4dos "for loop" things to make it resize the tiles automatically. The batchfile right now resizes, renames and creates even the T-tiles with different pallette. Just one .bat file that does this!

After the tiles were complete, I used the mkpal.pl script to create fartiles.pal pallette.

Then it was just placing new texture.bin and fartiles.pal to \terrdata\NAME\texture\ directory, zip up the korean & new tiles to texture.zip and placing it to the same dir.

When Tinstall was used to rebuild the terrain, voila... new Desert colour scheme came to life.

uhh... that wasnt so quick help, err anyway
