Sprite recoloring

[Toonwriter]

How do I recolor sprites of any character in DOOM? I want to recolor the Doom 3 Pinky sprites to make them as pink as the Pinky Demon either from the classic, or the Doom 3 game.

Also, I need a palette of the original Pinky Demon and/or the Doom 3 Pinky Demon.

You can use any basic image editing program like GIMP to recolor sprites, or you can use Translations if you're wanting to stay within the DooM palette.

Sounds simple. Course, I'm gonna need to know how to do the Translations simply if I want to change the sprite color in SLADE.

I think you need to use GIMPs colour-saturation and brightness change.
Therefore you can use the colour select or magic wand tools even for multiple decisions while crtl pressed.
Consider that this wont change black/white areas though - but theres also another tool for this.

And what tool is that?

You don't have to stay within palette when using the Translation property. But it's not gonna look right if you're not viewing it in GZDoom, of course.

Code: Select all

ACTOR PURPLESPHERE : Soulsphere
{
 Translation "192:199=[255,255,255]:[255,00,255]","200:207=[E0,00,E0]:[80,00,80]","240:247=[60,00,60]:[00,00,00]"
}

The above makes the soulsphere purple, a color range that Doom doesn't have much of.

There's also the saturated/desaturated translation method:

Code: Select all

ACTOR PURPLESPHERE : Soulsphere
{
 Translation "192:207=%[0.0,0.0,0.0]:[1.0,0.0,1.0]","240:247=%[0.0,0.0,0.0]:[1.0,0.0,1.0]"
}

Interesting. Sounds a bit complicated, though. I'm a dummy at things like this if I wanna recolor the grey parts of Doom 3 Pinky into being as pink as the original DOOM Pinky.

Go to the Zdoom wiki and search for "palette". Use the translation method, select all the gray parts you want to change to pink and change them to pink.

Can't you recolour stuff in SLADE? It's pretty easy to do.
