I used Fighter Factory Classic or Paint to make palettes. :)
They're not indexed :x  So there is no color table, and the colors will not go in the correct slots when indexing.

The palette template has to stay indexed from begin to end!  If you want to try redoing these, that would be nice - but I'll do it otherwise :)

By the way, just thought I'd throw this offer out there, I know you have a ton of pals now (I think 9 just from me, ha), but if there are any pals you'd really like to have in the char, to save you some time, I'd be more than happy to make something for you, just tell me what you want.
I love them all!  If you decide to make any more, be my guest!

The video is up now.  For some reason it restarted itself back to 0% and thus took a lot longer than expected

I'll try to make the BG transparent. Is that okay? Also, awesome video as always! :D

could you download the images that you uploaded, and check that they didn't somehow get changed by wherever they are hosted?

If they're identical to what you uploaded, then yeah I really can't get the palette out without basically redoing all the work

I downloaded the images I uploaded, and I think they're identical. I'll try to redo them as soon as possible.

For whatever reason, the main part of my video is just not even there >:( (Arcade Scene)   Gotta post a new one tomorrow!  Will show off a different pal too

Pal selection WIP

(Anim Deleted)

I think I'm going to make a minimal, rotating 3d cube of Jailbot as a preview next to these icons.

@RoySquadRocks: Thanks again for fixing those, I just tested them out in-game, and they look great!

You kow, I wonder why no other Authors try that. The only other Author I can think of that does that is Kame.

That video is fantastic! Seriously can't wait to try him out!

I was just asking before if there were any pals that YOU wanted made, but maybe just didn't want to take the time to do. Anywho, just thought I'd offer, because I love the character so much, ha.

I really hope I'm not being annoying with this, but I updated a few of my pals to make them a little more interesting, I wanted to spice them up a bit. I hope that's okay, I don't want to give you extra work...Obviously, you have a ton of pals, so feel free to use or not use whatever you like, no one will be offended.

Updated/fixed pals:

Orange in The Machine 2.0


Getter Dragon


24k


I actually really LOVE the palette selector exactly as it is in the video, without any icons or text or anything. It seems absolutely perfect to me like that, but obviously that's just my opinion. Those boxes do look really cool though, I must say.

Update your pals as much as you'd like!  It's really not much work on my end.

The reason I want to use the icons is bc in my other intros, Jailbot is not on the screen for most of the time.

I've amazing myself by actually getting this to work exactly as I envisioned, and with a surprisingly efficient/low amount of code.

And yes, the cursor jumps appropriately to the begin/end of the left/right and top/bottom, even with the 2 blank slots on the bottom row.

Also shown is how cool the Arcade scene looks with the custom palettes.

Oh wow! Your take on the palette selector looks great.  :thumbsup:

Watching the great arcade hyper, maybe you shoul add a intro screen to the Pong game too.

Thanks!  I just might do that :)

Speaking of the Arcade hyper, I had a breakthrough idea which allowed me to squash the last known bug.  Awhile back, I started a topic in Development Help that never turned up the real answer to my problem.

I found that the solution is to apply a constant Vel Y, factoring the current ScreenPos Y against the desired Pos Y.  I originally tried using a constant PosSet or PosAdd, but for whatever reason it caused ridiculous amounts of flickering.

@JNP - are you aware of how the MAIN and SIDE shading is set up? :)

Just wondering, because it doesn't seem to have a rhyme or reason how you set those.  Like if you see those 2 posted by Dodo check out how the colors go from dark to light.  Here's a tip if you didn't know it (I actually just learned this recently): In Photoshop, in the Color Table, if you click/drag from one box to another, it will create a smooth color ramp based on the two colors it will then prompt you for.

Other than that, I love the palette!

Thanks dodoman!  They look great, and I'll be using them!

I didn't know that trick. That would have saved me a ton of time. The side gradients were very annoying and took forever :P

There needs to be a way to change colors in real time using the fill tool on the actual image instead of just the color table.

Anyway, updated the image.

@Anthem: I'm sorry again for rudely asking that I do the Jailbot 2.0 palette!

So I finally got around to that one.  For most of the episode, his arms/hands/tools/etc are all red holograms - so I decided to just go for that look!

(Anim Deleted)

@Just No Point: I can't tell the difference? :)  I just want to double check that is your intention, with having only some of his darker shading as red, and the rest of his side shading more monochromatic

Ugh I'd uploaded the wrong file. Try now.

And I'd love to change the color of that white around his sad face copter portrait but it changes too much of the white in his sprites elsewhere :(
