	Unit Palette Utility type thing! Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I thought I'd take a little break from programming and try my hand at creating a unit, ok so I cheated and got some static images from another game.

Anyway as you should know the palettes in my image would have started from index 0 to x, but the first 64 colours need to be the civ colour, so I've got this problem of getting my colours to start at index 64. So I created a program that takes my colours from my image and saves them back out, but now starting at index 64, so know civ is free to place the civ colour in the first 64 indexes.

Also the original image needs to have 160 or less colours, as the first 64 are the civ colour and the last 32 being alpha colours, oh and the very last index(255) being magenta.

So if any one would like this utility then I'll tidy it up and post it here, or if you've no idea what the hell I'm on about then say and I'll see if I can explain some more.

Cheers.
James.

So will the file be posted soon?
I really could need that program.

How does other people solve this problem? Like, everybody making graphics must run into this problem! right?

I'll have the utility ready in about 1 hour or so, I'm just tidying it up to make it user friendly and the fact that it's also built into the scenario editor that I'm currently working on at the moment doesn't help.

Be back soon.

Ok. Thanks.

But I ask it again:
The FLIC editor has been out for months. How comes there isn't an editor out already?

Does people solve the problem in some other way?

Ok, I think I'm done, I'm gonna post this in a new thread since it's built into my scenario editor ( which by the way has been disabled since it's not all working at the moment and not to mention that halve the code is commented out )

What do you mean editor? An editor for the palette thing or for scenarios?

I've got no idea how other people change there palettes, I just can across this problem earlier today and came up with this little utility.

Cheers.
