[Resource] GreyScale Wad w/ Colored Doors/Skulls/Keys

[RV-007]

I have the PLAYPALNoir.wad, but the colored door/key needs some of that color again. Are there any wads like this?

I got my own greyscale colormap wad, but w/ key/skull/door colors include purple, green, and orange.
Yes, there are color specks, but that's a small cost compared to identifying correct doors w/ a more colorblind wad.

As far as I know (And disprove me if I'm wrong), adding the colors back to the key-cards and doors will also add those same colors back to the monsters and other objects. If you don't want them to be affected by it, translate the colors on the monsters and objects to different ones that look the same in black and white. So, only the key-cards and doors have colors.

Or load PNG versions of the keys/door color textures and that way they won't be affected by the changed palette.

Ral22's right. The palette's very limited, so adding color back to the keys is going to bring it back -- in specific spots -- to other objects as well, including walls, monsters, decorations, your HUD, everything. EVERYTHING.

Or load PNG versions of the keys/door color textures and that way they won't be affected by the changed palette.

They will be in the software renderer.

I assume the png versions are the best way to go. I'll try to find some filenames now.

EDIT (12/09/2012):
Excuse me, what does WARNA0 and WARNB0 is for?

Like it has been hinted by PDF, above. You need to use the hardware renderer for that to work like you want it.

[RV-007]

No!!! Ok, I guess I'll make my own COLORMAP lump. I don't mind the ocassional color sprinkles. I think I'll name this wad, "RGB Colors", "Mostly Greyscale Surfaces", or something like that.

What color ranges should I leave out other than blue, red, and yellow? I know that there are some pink, green, and orange sometimes.

I can't save RAW.

Gah, I need to get GZDoom out of my head for a while.

Switches. Look at SW1SLAD and SW2SLAD.

It helps when you keep compatibility in mind at all times.

[RV-007]

I kept getting this 'can't save format: RAW'. How do I work around this?

[Gez]

What is giving you that message, Paint Shop Pro? Save it as a PNG or something, and convert it to raw format with SLADE.

[RV-007]

How to convert things into raw format in SLADE?
I don't have that raw format, do I need some markers?

[Gez]

Use "Doom Flat (Paletted)". It's the same thing as raw format.

Thanks, I now have my very own/first colormap graphic lump wad.
Will turn request into resource now.
