I have a custom monster that works well with Doom but when used with Hexen and Strife the colors are way off. I want to make the character universally usable for all three. What should I do to achieve this? Or do I make different versions for each color palette? (One for Doom, one for Hexen, one for Strife.)
Currently the sprites are in Doom palette lmp format but I do have PNG versions of the originals sprites.
HEXEN STRIFE COLOR PALETTE COMPATIBILITY [RESOLVED]

Re: HEXEN STRIFE COLOR PALETTE COMPATIBILITY
If you use PNGs as the sprites, they will be shown independently of the game palette.

Re: HEXEN STRIFE COLOR PALETTE COMPATIBILITY
Thank you Enjay, I had completely forgotten about the palette differences between the games and wanted to avoid this for future custom monsters or assets. Really appreciate it!
