Colour palette based off CGA colors.

[LittleInferno]

Mode 4, palette #2, high intensity to be specific. I say based off because I probably got some of the colors in the wrong place.

(Man, this color palette is so dark you'd be thinking you were playing Doom 3.)

Hehe. Doomguy looks like he's got a piggy face (that, or two protruding buckteeth).

Requirements:

A brain
SLADE

Say, now you've got CGA.wad! In order to have your game not look like your balls in a grinder and assuming your IWAD is already made a PWAD through a hex editor, make a backup of your "IWAD" first, then open CGA.wad in SLADE. Right-click on "PLAYPAL", go to "Palette", and then add it to custom palettes. Name it anything you want. Then open up your "IWAD" in SLADE. Delete the existing palette and then go to "Archive" > "New" > "PLAYPAL". Scroll down till you find what you named the palette, select it, and press "Ok". Then right click on the new PLAYPAL and go to Palette > Generate Colormaps. Then select every graphic in the "IWAD" (By clicking the first graphic and going to the last one, and then pressing shift and left-clicking) except for flats and then right-click on one of them. Go to Graphic > Convert to and on the current graphic side, click the the list bar (or whatever it is) and select "Doom". Then click "Convert All".

For converting flats, do the same as with the normal graphics except at the top, instead of "Doom GFX", select "Doom Flat".


Edit: I recommend testing this in the original executable

A bug:

If the normal graphics are converted, VILE frame \ 1 to 8 will just be replaced by 1 to 8. Select the numbers-only Arch-Vile graphics, right click on one of them, click on "Rename", and put VILE\ behind the asterisk. Then do rename each and then put the numbers up to 8.

I did mode 4, palette 1, high intensity, but it sucks worse than the other one. Here's why:



IT'S DARN DARK!

These are really cool. Reminds me of that fanmade "port" of Doom for the ZX Spectrum. Although the CGA one is too dark most of the time, but still, pretty rad.

[Reisal]

Is that an EGA palette for the Apple 2 mockup?

[LittleInferno]

Late reply to @Glaice from Utah

I just recolored the Doom palette to the only 16 sixteen colors available on the Apple II.

[LittleInferno]

Holy crap, I'm back from Utah. Now I can actually do cool stuff.

This is the original MSX color palette. I think it is way dark.

So I did CGA mode 5, high intensity, and I think-HOLY SHIT

IT LOOKS LIKE A PIG ON CRACK.

I see it!

At least there aren't any pigs on crack.

Why Sendspace only though?

Just....why?

When you can you simply load a PWAD that has that the new PLAYPAL and suitably pre-made colormaps, and modify as little as possible without fux-0ring up your IWAD?

The ironic thing is that running actual Doom on an actual CGA, EGA or any sort of non-chunky display, would be actually be slower than VGA, because of the planar-chunky conversions required. Having fewer (and shittier) colors would be the least of your problems.

The video Linguica posted actually shows real-time (or post-processing?) 4-color dithering, which is another beast altogether, and would be even more impractical to do when CGA or EGA would have mattered.

Because it's one of my favorite uploading websites, and it's actually quite simple.

In which port would it be easiest to program a two-camera mode with red and blue versions of this, slightly displaced horizontally?

Am I playing Silent Hill or a broken version of Insta-Doom?
