Ousagi · Rocket Infantry **Joined**: 02 Nov 2022

I've used every possible combination of for CustomPalette=. specialred, specialred~~~.pal, specialredtem.pal, etc. and also used Pallete= but not of them worked.

Code:

[NXPROT]
Remapable=yes
Normalized=yes
Height=6
Cameo=NXPROTICON
Foundation=2x2
Buildup=NXPROTMK
DemandLoadBuildup=true
FreeBuildup=true
NewTheater=yes
ActiveAnim=NXPROT_A
;ActiveAnimDamaged=NXPROT_AD
ActiveAnimZAdjust=-500
ActiveAnimTwo=NXPROT_A2
ActiveAnimTwoDamaged=NXREACTOR_BD
ActiveAnimTwoZAdjust=-500
OccupyHeight=5
CanBeHidden=False
DamageFireOffset0=-16,31
RemoveOccupy1=-1,0
RemoveOccupy2=-3,-3

[NXPROT_A2]
NewTheater=yes
Normalized=yes
Start=0
LoopStart=0
LoopEnd=32
LoopCount=-1
Rate=900
Layer=ground
CustomPalette=specialred~~~.pal
Shadow=yes
;Translucent=yes
Translucency=25

CustomPalette= is used on weapon anims etc, building's use Palette=. You add the tag to the building's code, any anims attached to the building will then inherit the pal too.

[NXPROT]
Palette=specialred

Then use pal files named;

specialredtem.pal
specialredsno.pal
specialredurb.pal
etc

I knew buildings used Palette= as well as infantry and other technotypes, but I didn't expect that anims from them will also have to inherit the building's palette.

I've tested it and it worked. I guess I didn't expect that to be the case for some anims. Thanks! Very Happy
