A high-palette look-up table (abbreviated "highpalookup" or just "highpal") is used by the Polymer renderer to replicate the software renderer's 8-bit palette swaps on 32-bit assets such as models and high resolution textures.
SAMPLE CODE
// SLIMEPAL (and night vision)
highpalookup { basepal 2 pal 0 file "highpal/pal_00n.png" }
This line of code is from the HRP. It declares the basic night vision palette. More examples can be seen here.
