Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

I don't remember if those are even used any more. And aren't they for skin use?

I've noticed this issue with all my custom palettes. They use left-to-right lightness ramps (opposite of DooM's) and they colorize horribly. (Unless I load over Heretic or Hexen, but that still uses their original tone ranges and looks terrible.) The actual range used doesn't matter, it still comes out like DooM's 112~127 would.

This might be related to spaldoom.lmp and spalhtic.lmp in zdoom.pk3.

Looking back at this, I did a bit of reformatting and added an example mod.

(Also I hadn't realized this topic was so old now. :shock: )

When using a new palette in DooM, tone values based on DooM's are still used to decide the result, even when the new source palette has its colors "backwards":[spoiler][img]http://www.majhost.com/gallery/NeuralStunner/ZDoom/Screens/colorrange_oops.jpg[/img]

Heretic's PlayPal, ColorMap, Player sprites, and color range (225-240)... in DooM.

(GZDoom screenshot, but this happens in ZDoom also. My player color is out of palette and looks bad in software, though.)[/spoiler]
Tried switching the values in Player.ColorRange around, so the higher number was first - It understood the range just fine, but still rendered it backwards.

It would be more helpful if the specified color range were colorized from the loaded palette. (Bonus: A ColorRange could span two ramps and wouldn't try to make a continuous single color range.)

The attached file is simply a brightness-inverted version of the Doom palette. Load it and check your player sprite via chasecam - Your colors will appear as if the original palette is in use.
