like how

Like extract the pck into a png sheet with Volutar's MCDEdit, then modify the graphics in some graphic editor, and then putting the new data back in the. Pck.
I can give it a tty if you like, assuming I can find TFTD palettes - I never tried this before.

No, I wasn't trying to say this. Because it's complete bullshit.

Maybe, from my side, I done similar work. This involved extraction, editing and some experimentation involved. This take time. Especially editing.

Then as quote

You have to find the TFTD palettes. Searching also take time. Time consuming? Yes. Work? Yes.

For a new modder, it is hours of tinkering to get it right. I know this myself, because it happened to me. If you want to go for it.. by all means.

I showing him the easy way with my Hybrid mod having all the work done already.
