IWAD's/IPK3's shouldn't need PLAYPAL
My current project will be making use of true-color resources only, and has no need for a palette. It's pretty much dead weight. Is there any reason it's required?

PLAYPAL is still used for things like translating font and player colors, and support for computers that do not have capable-enough video cards to run the hardware renderer(s).Death Egg wrote:My current project will be making use of true-color resources only, and has no need for a palette.

The engine needs a palette. What it contains is not really relevant if your resources do not need them. But a few things simply won't work if none is given.

You could do like SLADE does and use a grayscale palette as a fallback if none are found.
