Well, I followed your Tut (exactly I hope^^), but as soon as I import the changed Tileset, AM shows kinda wierd tiles. I may have overread an important point, but if so, I dunno which.
Hope you can see from the pic, what I'm trying to talk about xD greetz, Gibson |

Try indexing the house and re saving the palette again, then reload it. |
When indexing the colours, do you set transparency to on, and are black/white, primaries, or web forced, or is that option simply set to none? If you do, does transparency, black/white, primaries, or web count towards the 16 colour limit?

@Deucalion:
Well, though I don't see your point, here're my settings: Palette: Exact Colors: 16 Forced: Black & White Transparency: yes @Cello: Points 1-3 are out of the question, I've set it to the correct palette & everything matches to each other. But I ain't sure about the forth one. I index the house in Photoshop (5.5), I save the color table (look at the 1. pic), then I load it in AM, but the palette colors in AM are different from the PS ones (look at the 2. pic :p), so I think that's the actual problem. greetz, Gibson |
Really great tutorial. Awesome for beginners!

Anyone able to help me? greetz, Gibson |
Sorry for the late response. I haven't checked in on this in awhile.
From the looks at it, after loading the palette in your block editor the palette gets really disorganized, which honestly shouldn't be happening. When you save the palette from Photoshop the palette should remain the way it was viewed. Here, I'll show you how I organize my palettes when things aren't the way they should be. It's very simple. First: I use graphics gale for this. Download link. Start up graphics gale and load your INDEXED image. Second: In the palette viewer, click the downward arrow and select Uniform Color. Like so: Spoiler:
Third: Select your image from the list in the box that pops up, and then click extract. Spoiler:
Fourth: You will notice that your palette is now loaded in the right box. From there you can edit your palette freely. By that, I mean you can drag colors and organize them as you like. Just drag whichever color you want to be transparent to the first color. Spoiler:
Fifth: After you drag you will notice the colors swap places in the palette. Click "Apply" and then save your image. Spoiler:
Now open the image you just saved in photoshop or your palette saving program and re-save the palette. If you still get this problem, my only thoughts would be that you're loading the wrong palette in the wrong directory. Again, sorry for the late response. ALSO/// DO NOT SAVE PALETTES IN GALE. The colors darken. |
here is something I noticed in this tutorial you waiste space you should want to get as most custume tiles in a tile set as posiable so in graphics gales click on the grid to 8x8 and deleate any blocks that repeat or can be x-flip or y-flip or both doing this will allow you to have a lot more space for a lot more tiles

Unfortunately I'm in a bit of a hurry right now, but I'll be updating it soon with info on saving space by flipping with X & Y flipping. The tilesets used in the images are merely examples. |
Thanx for your extensive description, Cello. But - call me an idiot :p - I STILL get the problem. The palettes are different. Everything works wonderfully unto I want to load the palette in AM, I'm just kinda baffled xD.

It happens to me sometimes. When I go to load a palette it will bring up a different folder full of palettes that aren't the ones i'm looking for. It can get a bit confusing. This is actually very odd, though. If you're still getting the problem. When you save the palettes they automatically change order without any say in doing so. Have you tried saving it as a different file type? Like a .ACT instead of a .PAL, or vice-versa. |

First; Cello, thanks for this great tutorial :D It is really newby-friendly and clear.
However, I have a problem and maybe someone can help me out. I have this tileset (well, a yet-to-become-tileset :)) of a house. This house has a red roof. I first used bright blue as my background color, and later pasted the house on the bg. I followed all the steps in the tutorial. When I come to indexing my picture and creating a palette (using Photoshop) the first color in my palette is nót blue (which it should be, since it was the first color I used) but red (a kind of red from the roof, to be precise). The first time I didn't notice and everything went OK, except for the blue not being the transparant color, but red. I later tried again, with black instead of blue, but it was the same story. What to do to get the first color to be the first in the palette? Manually switching colors of course doesn't help, since all the colors in the tiles will be swapped. Thanks in advance |

Oh thanks! I must've missed that post :)
I found another way, however. It is a little more comlicated, but for the people that want to know: In Photoshop, when you choose Image > mode > indexed color, in the drop-down menu (or whatever it's called) choose 'custom'. Doing this you can switch and customize your palette too. However, I will use Cello's way myself. Thanks again :) |
Nice Tutorial!
It's very good. But it seems abit too long. Oh, well. Well done. |
i have a problem.
when i load the block/pallete after i have used gale this comes up error: the pallete file is missing blah/blah/blah/blah(bla is location :p)titleset2.pal |

Hey Cello, I've got this problem. Everytime I import the .act file, the palettes change positions I need help. |
Thanks, this is what I have been looking for.

this tutorial helped me a lot! thanks!

Hi, another question. I seem to have a problem with palettes created by IrfanView (haven't got Photoshop on this PC), and it seems to be the same problem as the GraphicsGale palette saving bug. (The colors end up completely different in Amap.) However, when using GG to view the palette (created by IrfanView) everything seems fine.
So not only are GG's palettes not compatible with Amap, IrfanView's palettes aren't either. Is there an alternative to Photoshop/IrfanView/GraphicsGale for palette editing? GIMP maybe? (Haven't searched yet, but maybe someone here already knows...?) |
This is a great tuorial! Replacing colors in paint is quite hecktic.
|
Thanx! - This is Awesome!

Awesome
I have a slightly different method, but this is awesome :)
This'll be handy if my method turns out to be a giant mistake...which is almost certain! Thanks for the tutorial :3 |
