Palette Tab - Lavesiime/lavesiime.github.io GitHub Wiki

The "Palette" tab in SonLVL-RSDK allows you to change the stage palette. The first 6 lines are the global palette (shared by all stages in the game), while the remaining 10 lines are the stage palette (unique to every stage folder).

To change a colour, first select the colour by clicking on it in the palette. From there, the colour can be changed by editing the values on the left. Alternatively, double clicking on the color will bring up an advanced colour editing form.

Enable Dragging

The Enable Dragging button allows you either swap or move colours across the palette. By default, dragging a colour will swap it with its destination slot, but holding Control will move the entire row. <-- idk tbh???? something about holding ctrl too??? -->

Export

The Export button allows you to export the current palette as either:

  • An .act palette file
    • The same format used by the Retro Engine, can also be imported into image editors as well.
  • Saving the palette to an existing .gif file
    • This allows you to add the current stage's palette into any object sprite sheets with ease.
  • An indexed .png file
  • A JASC-PAL .pal or .PspPalette palette file

Import

The Import button allows you to import a palette into the editor. Upon pressing the button, you will need to select a file to import the palette from. The palette can either be imported from an .act palette file, or it can be imported from the colour palette of an indexed .gif or .png image.

After selecting a source palette file, you can select which colours to import by dragging the cursor around the source palette (left hand side), or only clicking once if you only want to import a single colour. Once you have your colour(s) selected, you can place them into the stage palette by moving your cursor to the destination palette (right hand side) and left clicking once again. In order to copy the entirety of the source palette to the destination palette, you can click on the Copy All button. Alternatively, to reset any changes you have made and start over, you can press the Reset button.

Palette Gradient

i mean, it's def a feature that exists. right click. that's it.

In order to create a palette gradient, select a colour with a left click, and then right click another colour on the same row. A gradient between the two selected colours will be created.

kinda wonder if anyone uses this feature anyways
