Where to start?

What makes makes Kurok so colourful is the combination of maximising the use of colours available, coloured light maps and coloured fog.

Photoshop does a pretty awesome job of converting textures to the quake palette if you keep the limitations of the colour palette in mind

I think I'm going way off-topic now though

Yea but quake's pallette doesnt have green, so it means that green cant be in quake, what am i missing? I have a green model/texture and it shows up gray..... i dont get it....

Quake's palette does have one or two greens I think.

[Ghost_Fang]

yea really crappy, really dark greens, not the rich greens like in kurok

[goldenboy]

screenie?

[leileilol]

nah, just delusion. Kurok has the same greens Quake has. Quake's greens are just seen in some grass textures, and a wide range of copper which is what the less saturated, bluer green is used for. The latter 'copper' green is used for the majority of Kurok being a result of 24-bit pulldown from texture import. Same goes for those other 'games'.

OK so the green does exsist, then why does my green textured model show up gray?

Strange thing is: when on DarkPlaces or any other engine, the game colors break. Are you sure you're not modifying the palette on the engine or anything?

They look fine for me (apart from fullbrights).
