[Answered] OXCE Pallette
« on: March 02, 2023, 10:27:21 pm »
Alright, so I've been messing with some sprites in OXC, and I've noticed that some of the colors were altered once the images were displayed in game. I'm guessing this is because OXC only supports so many colors, but after looking through OXCE Support, I didn't see any topics that might tell me whether or not OXCE works the same way. Does anyone know if OXCE has a limited pallette, and if so, where I can find out what colors are on the table?

Yes, even more, as OXCE enforce 8bit palettes everywhere (OXC some time allow 24bit but convert them on fly to 8bit).

The palettes (in 3 most used formats) are distributed together with your OXCE installation.

You can find them in the folder "common", subfolder "Palettes".

Or if you prefer something more textual: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/PALETTES.DAT
