Highpalookup

A highpal lookup table is used by the Polymer renderer to do what the software renderer does with the 8bit palette.dat and lookup.dat [1] Except this now applies to 32bit art such as models and high res textures.

SAMPLE CODE

// SLIMEPAL (and nightvision)

highpalookup { basepal 2 pal 0 file "highpal/pal_00n.png" }

• This line of code is from the Polymer HRP [2] It declares the basic nightvision palette
