PLAYPAL lump question

Post by Melvinflynt »

I see that the doom palette consists of 256 colors but is there anyway to add more, like maybe 300, instead of modifying the original 256?

Welcome to 8-bit color limitations. Either edit your PLAYPAL or work with what you've got.

In a ZDoom project this can cause some horrible problems depending on what colors you use. As it is you open up another can of worms.

If it's GZDoom.... then it's probably recommended.
