Falko on his website have some useful c++ editor (fine visualization and tree options).
Maybe you know if I can find offline version of this editor somewhere?

Unfortunately not.
It would be nice, though...

Hi, Falko! Great to see you again. :)

I'll take this opportunity to say that I have mixed feelings about the new palette converter. While I appreciate that you can swap just one colour row now, preparing the whole box takes way many more clicks than before - because for each row you must click on the original box and then on the editable box.
Would it be possible to add a button to copy everything at once to the editable box (for further edition)?

not sure what the goal is but you can view/edit/save your transformation experiments if you click "open options"
you can copy paste your specific changes there
the cols logic is the following:
 x: [y,z]
 x = start of the block in original pallete
 y = start of the block in new pallete
 z = blocksize
here is a keep colors "the same" example
Code: [Select]
- name: copy(ufo-battlescape)
  op: transform
  pal: ufo-battlescape
  maketrans: false
  cols:
    0: [0, 16]
    16: [32, 16]
    32: [96, 16]
    48: [48, 16]
    64: [64, 16]
    80: [80, 16]
    96: [96, 16]
    112: [112, 16]
    128: [128, 16]
    144: [144, 16]
    160: [160, 16]
    176: [176, 16]
    192: [192, 16]
    208: [208, 16]
    224: [224, 16]
    240: [240, 16]

Interesting, but it's still not any better than picking all the colours. I just want the entire spectrum to be copied, and later edited by hand.

ich have added the option "256" in the blocksize dropdown
in my short test (firefox) it screwed th layout but if you change to 256, add the "first line", and change back to 16(or smaller) you have what you want .. if i understand you correctly

I can't find this option, but I think that's not the same thing... I meant something like this:



When you press this button, the middle box is filled with the same colours as the box on the left.

Do you think it's possible?

Hello there!

After a talk with alinare, I noticed that Falko's website is down. What happened? Is this going to be fixed soon? Virtually without his tools, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to make HWPs. Is there another way to do them?  ???

I was hoping the site was only down for a day or something, but it's still not online.
Falko, please please bring it back! The community desperately needs you!

It goes down due to Falko being inactive on the website. When he sees our messages he will refresh it for us. Take advantage of it as soon as you can, because you'll get a few months to play with it undisturbed.

I am making a collection of resources on my dropbox which can assist with this. I already have the base tank sprites and many others. I just need to get my archive stickied so people can see it.

I'll be ready, then. Is he going to come back soon?
