Daikatana alpha's palette...

[qbism]

it seems the colormap and palette were saved in the init.wad however they're still not right for the map. There's no other palette or colormap.

Can a colormap be saved in a wad? An image representation could, but not the thing itself AFAIK.

Interesting you should say that as the idea I had was somewhat related to that but I'll have to post my findings tomorrow since it's somewhat late right now.

In regular Quake the pallete goes on pallete.lmp, does this file exists in Daikatana ?

I said in my first post that the palette and colormap are being stored in the init.wad
They're not stored anywhere else.

The DK alpha BSPs have 2 extra lumps compared to Q1 BSP for a map palette and colormap (i.e. they expanded HEADER_LUMPS to 17 and now have LUMP_PALETTE 15 and LUMP_COLORMAP 16 in their code probably).

Mind providing an example?

[TimeServ]

Not sure what you'd need as an example.

For your BSP loader you'd most likely adjust the dheader_t structure (most likely by adding or changing the #define constants I listed), and modify your BSP texture loader to use the palette referenced in the new lump entry index (i.e. header->lumps[LUMP_PALETTE]).

Nevermind I figured it out earlier
Next time I'll edit my post

Can an admin lock this thread?
