[Graphic✓] [Pokefirered] Modifying party icon palettes

    Update:
    The issue has been resolved. I had included a file that doesn't exist in my project, in this case "pokemon_debug.h".

    After that, I had to add the palettes from pokeemerald-expansion by adding the following lines to src/graphics.c:

    My original post follows the underlined part.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

    I've changed the sprites and icons in my pokefirered project by using the unga-bunga caveman method of shamelessly copying the entire "/graphics/pokemon" folder from the pokeemerald-expansion.
    Now some of my party icons have funky palettes. In the case of my attached screenshot, this would be Venusaur, Oddish, and Raticate. The other three Pokémon in my party have normal palettes, however.

    The icons themselves have the correct colors in my "/graphics/pokemon/..." folders.

    Unlike with the battle sprites, the icon sprites do not have a dedicated ".pal" file in their respective Pokémon's folders.

    There is, however, a folder called "/graphics/pokemon/icon_palettes".
    The contents of this folder is different between vanilla pokefirered and pokeemerald-expansion. Because I did not know which files to delete and which to keep, I decided to Frankenstein('s monster) those two folders together for my project. The first image is the folder as it appears in my project, the second is from vanilla pokefirered, and the third from pokeemerald-expansion.
    Spoiler:


    Is there something different about how pokeemerald (or pokeemerald-expansion) handles the party icon palettes? Which files do I need to modify in order to get the correct palettes? Why are some palettes perfectly fine, whereas some others are messed up, as opposed to either all or none being messed up?

    The code for handling icons can be found (unsurprisingly) in src/pokemon_icon.c.
    There you will also find gMonIconPaletteIndices which specifies which palette is used for each icon, and gMonIconPalettes which contains the palette files used by the icons.
    I'm guessing that adding the extra palettes there and assigning them to the icons correctly is all you would need to do.

    Thank you. I've modified the file, and now I have a new problem:
    The make command does not recognize my changes. I've tried deleting and recreating src/pokemon_icon.c, but nothing changed. I also tried touching the file and the entire folder, but it still doesn't work.
    I don't get any errors, I just get nothing.

    You can always do a "make tidy" or "make clean" to force files to get rebuilt.
    The issue could be that pokemon_icon.c is silently failing to compile due to an INCBIN having an invalid filepath.
