This directory contains the palette generation script. The output of the
|
||
script is the PLAYPAL lump.
|
||
|
||
The Doom engine operates in a palettized screen mode where only 256
|
||
different colors can be shown on screen at a given time. By applying
|
||
alternate palettes, special effects can be generated (eg. the red tint
|
||
when taking damage, or the green tint when wearing the radsuit). More
|
||
information can be found on the Doom wiki:
|
||
|
||
<http://doomwiki.org/wiki/PLAYPAL>
|
||
|
||
The input for the script is playpal-base.lmp which contains the default
|
||
palette seen during normal gameplay. The script translates this palette
|
||
into the various other forms which are shown in different situations.
|
||
|
||
There is additionally a “gen-gimp-palette” script that may be used to
|
||
create a “doom.gpl” file suitable for importing into GIMP’s palette
|
||
selection.
