Palette: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 10:40, 22 February 2020

The base palette in use. The screen palette determines the overall look of the scene, like underwater, with enabled night vision, etc.

In older version of Eduke32, it was necessary to use setgamepalette to change palette. This is no longer necessary.

Changing this value too often (e.g. every tic) is undesirable, so check the value before doing so.

See the palette listing for how a palette will effect the look of the scene. See also palfrom.

Base palettes. Not to be confused with lookup palettes (such as sprite palette)
