Doom Pallet

[solarsnowfall]

I've heard taking a screen shot of the opening image is the best way to get the pallet set for custom graphics. When I do this, the colors are all polarised when I paste it into my graphics editor. What's another good way to get the pallet?

[Sporku]

Extract any graphic from the main wad using a tool like XWE or WinTex. That should do the trick.

[solarsnowfall]

...still looking for "extract" feature in either program...

[Zeg-Vok]

What I do, is make the picture, and then Import it into XWE, it will then set it to the closest colors it can find in the Doom Pallet, then I go back and clean up the now palletized images, and then re-import them

[solarsnowfall]

Will XWE support 254 tall texturs for zdoom?

[Zeg-Vok]

I dont think its a matter of XWE supporting it, as its a matter of ZDoom and whatever level editor your using, but Im pretty sure there would be no problem, then again, Im not a technical guy

[solarsnowfall]

Oh crap, I used XWE and tried running my level and got this error. I just followed the tutorial to the letter, added PP_START, loaded images, added to textures, added PP_END

Now, one texture I put in a new SKY1 (to be drawn by F_SKY) texture 128x256 I think to be used for the sky, and another wall texture 254x512. Now according to zdoom.org zdoom is supposed to accept textures up to 254 units tall. There was no problem using the textures in the Doom Builder. Any clues to what I did wrong???

If you're going for ZDoom only anyway, you should just put your textures in PNG format between the TX_START and TX_END lumps.

[Macro11_1]

Quote off zdoom wiki "Any graphic in either >>>> Doom <<<< or PNG format that is between these markers is immediately treated as a texture/flat."

DooM format?

[CodeImp]

I think by the "Doom format" it refers to the image format that Doom handles. Originally, sprites, textures and misc images in Doom are in this image format.
