Palette tutorial, with special guest Ali Landry

Linguica's original post - all images were 60x128 enlarged for clarity

Not in THIS thread was that posted. Neither did goobie. Lut made a comment, but that seemed unrelated. The only person saying enlarged is YOU. If it's in another thread, tough, it belonged HERE.

Here's L's original post

So let's say that you're deep in production of XBABESX.WAD and you've started trying to import some new textures to use. You'll soon learn that Doom does not handle high-color images well, and in a stunning lack of foresight, id Software included a palette which does not go particularly well with pictures of hot babes.

So you take your first picture and resize it down to the size of a Doom texture:

And I assumed he had resized it to the size he intended. I don't see 60x128 do you? Nor any mention of enlarged by anyone.

Besides, 1/2 the problem was the Wintex palette anyway - sheesh. Just drop it. I'm not a mind reader - yet:)

I don't think Gooberman did

nope, just swiped the image direct from here, applied the Doom palette, and stuck it up.

Linguica said:

I thought it was fairly obvious to even the least astute observer that for the interest of clarity I increased the size of the images 3X.

NOPE, very unclear. And I'm not alone:) Voters win!

In conclusion, I am right about everything, as usual.

Ok Sherlock, then explain how in PAL2.GIF you have the WINTEX palette in there? You did imply that you used the SAME palette for all of them. Or is this some other secret thing we should have all been able to figure out?:)

That's impossible to have (as dithered) unless you used a palette created by a Wintex Export. QED.

In conclusion, I am right about everything, as usual:)))

Heh, a flamewar over how to import porn into a doom wad...

Every single one of linguicas images contains no detail on a scale smaller than 3pixels, and has obviously been enlarged.

Eh? Please just go AWAY. I don't want to go from trivia to trivia that's already been covered.

[btw, where exactly where those claimed 60x128 posts or did you make that up? I really would like to see your answer to that one:)]

deep sets anything on fire with a mere touch.

Good one Erik- that's the way to get me.

OK - here's what I see.

Gooberman SAID:

That means he took the images POSTED HERE, which are 180x384 NOT 60x128.

So Nightmare (who you already agreed about), Gooberman and I all did the same thing. Lut was in a world of his own:) Or do you choose to read the comment above differently too?

It's simple, 2 mistakes made: - one was in clear communication, the 2nd was using the wrong palette in the first place:) They are simple mistakes that anyone can make - don't know why you are making such a big fuss. "fucking blind" is pretty drastic for such a simple topic.

I was more interested in the actual topic of converting images. End of the line for me - make up anything you like from here on in obliv:)

You're all missing the big picture here, dammit. Who cares about these edited pictures? Someone email me a site where I can find pictures of this here chick doing herself with a clear glass dildo.

Comedy Gold.

(for a geek artist like me)
