Wrong Colours

[RSpeed tycoonfreak]

I made some terminal with a train station for the fake airport set.
But when I replaced the old sprites It came out very weird.
I know that when you decode a .grf file replace the sprites and encode it that the colours look like crap.
So based on other grf sets I made this:
But not all coulours work as you can see in the attachement.
Does someone know a solution?

Seems like windows and dos palette are mixed up. Whichever one you used, try using the other one.

I'll check it but I don't think it is the wrong pallette, I always use the pallette from you site

When coding a GRF, you have to choose between coding with DOS or Win palette. Try the other one. I assume you're using a thing like grfcodec?

Another possibility is, decode the GRF, paste the sprites over it again, and code again. Did the track for me at times.

As long as the .pcx file is paletted correctly, grfcodec will compile it with no complaints (or warnings).
The "-p ?" parameter only applies to when decoding if my memory is right.
You can use the "-m ?" parameter to convert between the palettes.

I believe some of the newer versions of grfcodec can check the palette, although I'm not sure. DaleStan will know more about that.

They do. It will complain and fail to compile if the pallette is not recognised, unless you encode with -f.
