<h2>General Palette</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FreeCraft graphics use a 256 color palette. Although the palette may
|
||
|
|
be different for all images, it is recommended to use a shared one
|
||
|
|
to save memory.<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To see color indices, open the 'Indexed Palette' dialog in gimp.<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some colors are fixed for specific usage as follows:<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>0 : General background color, will be transparent in the game.
|
||
|
|
<li>38-47 : Water Cycling.
|
||
|
|
<li>240-244 : Icon Cycling.
|
||
|
|
<li>205-207 : Building Cycling.
|
||
|
|
<li>208-211 : These are the player colors, going from lightest to
|
||
|
|
darkest and will be replaced depending on the player color.
|
||
|
|
<li>253 : Reserved for editor, should NOT be used in any image.
|
||
|
|
<li>255 : General background color, will be transparent in the game.
|
||
|
|
<li>The remaining colors may be used as regular colors
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: the cycling applies to all images, eg, the building cycling
|
||
|
|
occurs for icons as well. The color cycling can be configured
|
||
|
|
from ccl eg, by editing the "(set-color-water-cycle-start! 38)" line
|
||
|
|
you can set the start for the water cycling.<p>

<h2>Global Palette</h2>

||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
such as line-drawing. The following color indices are used in

||
|
