thanks for answering my question Stinger123! after three days of checking for a response i didnt think that anyone was going to help me...
anyway, i do have another question about this tut.
on the third step, there are a bunch of palette offsets listed with index numbers...what exactly am i supposed to be replacing at this part? my palette over the listed ones or whatever comes up in ape when i enter offset and change the index?
Ok on the tut he has a quote an it comes out with all the pallets and offsets Right?
open APE

Open your rom and copy the first offset and place it in the box with two arrows either side, next to 'offeset (HEX)' and near replace.
Go to edit - Changed pallet or adjusted pallet then import. Open your pallet which you imported in ifran view from your titlescreen.
On the screenshot can you see right at the bottom where it has '2' and two arrows either side of it? (Note: IT SHOULD be 1 on your screen) It is the number of pallets you have to replace.
Ok so hit replace, it wont show any message or anything but it will replace.
Then copy the next offset and put it in the top box and go to it.
Then goto the bottom box like last time and goto number two and hit replace.
Then copy the next offset and put it in the top box and go to it.
Then goto the bottom box like last time and goto number three and hit replace.
Then keep doing that.
Tell me if you have any problems and good luck!
:)
