Although the palette may be different for all images, it is recommended to use a shared one to save memory.<p> To see color indices, open the 'Indexed Palette' dialog in gimp.<p> Some colors are fixed for specific usage as follows:<p> <ul> <li>0 : General background color, will be transparent in the game. <li>38-47 : Water Cycling. <li>240-244 : Icon Cycling. <li>205-207 : Building Cycling. <li>208-211 : These are the player colors, going from lightest to darkest and will be replaced depending on the player color. <li>253 : Reserved for editor, should NOT be used in any image. <li>255 : General background color, will be transparent in the game. <li>The remaining colors may be used as regular colors </ul> NOTE: the cycling applies to all images, eg, the building cycling occurs for icons as well. The color cycling can be configured from ccl eg, by editing the "(set-color-water-cycle-start! 38)" line you can set the start for the water cycling.<p> <h2>Global Palette</h2> The tileset palette is used as a general palette for purposes such as line-drawing. The following color indices are used in addition to the fixed colors described above and should be taken into account when creating a tileset:<p> <ul> <li>0 : Black <li>149 : Dark Green <li>206 : Blue <li>246 : White <li>247 : NPC <li>248 : Gray <li>249 : Red <li>250 : Green <li>251 : Yellow <li>252 : Blinking Red <li>253 : Violet </ul> A sample palette, <a href="stratagus.gimp">stratagus.gimp</a>, is included.
