NEED HELP-Fixing palette problem for airbases

Post by Sherlock »

Ok, thanks to Khronik explaining the situation with the palette problem I think I've got a fix for it. Here's one example:

Mismatched palette:

Fixed palette:

What I need help with is tracking down all the different airbase tile groups that need to have their palettes fixed. If I could get some help on this it would make my job easier.

Anybody willing to help? I just need 1-2 individuals to step forward. I can do the palette fixing myself once I know which groups of tiles need fixing.

Take a look at the texture.bin (as text of course) and then check two of the tiles (if not all) of the same group in editor to see if the palette match?

I was looking at the ODS.512.tiles dir of my and I think these are the new airbase tiles. Maybe this list helps to narrow it down.

Yes, SM that helps immensely. Do you have pretty high confidence that is a complete list? Is so, I will use it and it shouldn't take too long.

I digged up the texturebin as text which also had some notes in it. I cant vouch if the claims of palette ok + date is correct... but it should be a good guideline. Hmm but now that I look the previous list... its identical, right. So hmm dunno if there are errors or whatnot. Heh.

Lesson number one; always do better than thorough documentation :D

Oh well there is supposedly some documentation shown below, but if the tiles still have palette errors, dunno what to say.
