Colour Trouble

Post by Mad_Troyden »

Hello!I tried to turn the Felipe Massa's
helmet from NL 2010 carset to Sergio Perez's helmet
for 2011 mod,but GP2EDIT changed the colours of it.
I know that problems are in palette,but i don't understand,which
thing isn't normal.I used only MS Paint original palette.
But if MS Paint palette is inappropriate,can you tell me RGB codes of GP2 palette?

Here's the fixed file.

Always use an GP2Edit exported bitmap as the base. I've just pasted your helmet on a previous helmet.

How I can use an exported bitmap?
Firstly,in bitmaps isn't all colours.
You offer to copy/paste pieces of images?
It's impossible.
How I can export ALL palette?

You won't touch palettes. Just save a bitmap with GP2edit, copy the bitmap you've made and paste it on the saved bitmap. As you may see, the bitmap I've attached on the previous message will work in GP2Edit and ingame.

Of course...Pasting your bitmap above the basic one you overwrote even the palette. :-k

One thing: some colors of MS paint palette will work , other will not. Now in my opinion you have three alternatives

- using try and see method, discovering what colors are kept by gp2 (if I remember well, red, white, black are surely in that list) . This is a VERY BORING method.
- editing (and saving with a different name!) rremedio's bitmap using the dropper instrument.
- changing graphic program, to be finally be able to manage palettes! (I did and now I'm satisfied :mrgreen: ).
