Fixed -> Weird colours

Post by LocArny »

Fixed...

I am trying to convert a train from MSTS2Locomotion. Everything goes oke, but the result is bad (see attachment).

I applied the lomopalette (lomoveh.pal) with PSP 9.0, before that I converted the sprites from .bmp to .png.

What do I do wrong?

Thanks in advance!

lomoveh.pal should be ok, but your convertor may not of converted the palette properly, start again and re-do it, if the same happens the palette you have may not be working.

Yep, I tried it with the same and with another train, but the result is the same...

Are there any other palettes? Or any other programs with which I can apply the Lomo palette?

Oke, can someone please tell me what I did wrong:

- I downloaded a MSTStrain and converted it with the MSTS2Locomotion tool of VC. The sprites were 136 bitmaps.

- I converted the bitmaps automatically with PhotoFiltre to .pngs.

- I applied the lomoveh.pal palette with PSP9 by Image - Palette - Load Palette - Load "lomoveh.pal with nearest colour matching".

- I made a XML using VC, the sprite folder was the one with the pngs with the locomotion palette applied.

- I made a .DAT using Locotool

- I put the .DAT in my Locomotion/ObjData folder

The result is in the upper post...

What do I do wrong???

Note: I use VC 0.7.

Just to let you know: I managed :) Thanks to the great help of Plastikman, MajorDuck and Wally -> Never going to use that stupid PSP anymore :)

Ain't going to release this train, at least... not yet. Don't have the rights, you know ;)
