[SOLVED] custom player colour RGB with true colour sprites

Post by Nash »

It seems when the PLAY* sprites are in true colour PNG, the sprite would only look correct untranslated (in Doom's case, the "Green" colour preset). If I attempt to use a custom RGB value, the entire sprite gets quantized to the Doom palette and loses the beautiful colours from the original PNG.

Is there anything I can do about this?

How about the +DONTTRANSLATE flag?

Ah, that did the trick, though at the expense of a colourizable player. Though TBH that wouldn't have worked anyway because of the true colour nature of the sprites. Thanks. :)
