Basepalette (DEF)

basepalette <basepal> { [...] }

Loads a base palette from a raw image file.

The image file must NOT contain a 256 color table of its own. Each pixel from the image will be converted to a color in the base palette.

A single image file may contain multiple base palettes, and offset can used to locate it.

Not to be confused with lookup palette. See also palette listing.
