reversing the palette

i'm trying to reverse the doom palette. and no, not inverse, reverse. anyone know a way to accomplish this?

err, call me stupid but... you want to have negative colors or to have the palette colors ordered the other way round? Cause the difference between reversing and inversing is not really obvious for a non-native english speaker.

yes, ordered the other way around. reverse just means backwards. inverse means uh.. inverse, heh.

omg, a red imp. /me sexor Fredrik :P

heh, that gets a little more annoying than even i would have wished.

fredrik: i wonder if you could reverse each row of the palette as opposed to the whole thing?

Eh, what are you trying to do?

he is making mooD-Doom

Now add this to the upside-down e1m1 (and a couple of Heifeweizens)and you have a real trip.

i'm trying to make a backwards version of doom shareware

What???

Suh-huh-weet!

I believe there was a tool that would let you convert a palette to a bitmap and vice-versa. Anybody got it/know where it is?

yeah this would be perfect if anyone's ever seen this util before.

It may have been one of the Boom tools... but I haven't been able to find it since I used it once and said "Meh, I'll never have any use for that..."
/me kicks self

I believe the util you speak of is that colormap util that comes with the boom editing utils which you use to make colormaps for deep water, though I can't recall if that's what it did.

even so such a program wouldn't be overly hard to make

sweet, cmaptool did its job perfectly.

but apparently a horizontally flipped doom pallette doesn't look too good:

You didn't just flip the palette, it looks like you flipped the RGB triples too.

upon messing with it more, i came up with this:



what's with the green speckle on the shotgun though i wonder? or is there some dark green on the shotgun somewhere?

does anyone see anything wrong with the new palette i'm using?

That reverse-imp would actually make a damn cool new sprite. Like a lava imp or somesuch.

So you're trying to do something like this?




Or without inverse fading:

Freaky! O_o

fredrik, yes, that's what i was looking for. mind sending me the palette you used for that?

heh i didn't know if that would work from a screenshot, although i guess i should have assumed so since zdoom uses PNG for its shots. anyway, i got it working. thanks a lot
