[Other] Why aren't my inserted palettes loading?

[BrandoSheriff]

Palettes are becoming the death of me, for real.

With the help of the FR Hacked Engine, I've managed to insert around 54 new palettes, from 32 to 86. However, only palettes 32 to 40 load their actual colors in Overworld Editor RE. 41 and up seems to just load the default hero palette. I did add the finish line at the end of the list of palette pointers, so that's not the problem. :/

If it helps any, 32 though 40 were used for both genders of the hero and the rival. Though 41 down doesn't load the correct colors at all, no matter what I use them for. What do? ._.

Is it just in the overworld editor, or ingame too? If not, try using NSE or another sprite editor. Overworld Editor RE is outdated anyways.

I just checked, and the colors are fine ingame. But it'd be a hassle to figure out what wrong color corresponds to which correct color when I fix them.

I'd use NSE Classic like you said, but it doesn't seem to support the new palette table provided by the Hacked Engine (just says they don't exist), and can't seem to find my overworlds with 2.X. Do you suggest any other overworld editors that supports extra palette tables?

If you look at the readme for NSE Classic, there should be a way to change the offset to point to your new palette table.

I have no idea about NSE 2, but you should be able to just load individual overworlds from their offset (although that's a lot less convenient).

Looking at NSE Classic's readme file, I found that you had to create your own settings.ini file that does exactly what you said. I actually had no idea you could do that, since I didn't see any configuration text files when I downloaded it back then (and also since I only skimmed the readme once xD). Palettes are fixed and working fine now, thanks a bunch for the help dude! :D

About NSE 2.X and the loading individual overworlds from offsets, I tried it too, but they always show up as a jumbled mess. Either way, problem's fixed. xD

I still hate palettes, though... ._.


EDIT: While this is still open, anyone wanna tell me why whenever I do something menu-related (going into the bag, checking PokeDex, etc), then after exiting, the palettes of the overworlds go all screwy?
