Re: Tutorial: Changing monster colors
I've actually used this technique, a while ago, but I haven't been so deep in it.
So this thread is really helpful.. Bookmarked

Re: Tutorial: Changing monster colors
there are actually two tools in the file center for this that let you create custom palshifts, Nefarius' Palshift analyser just converts the palette to an image, allowing you to easily change which colors shift and to what, this means you won't accidently shift stuff that shouldn't shift by copying other palettes.

Re: Tutorial: Changing monster colors
I tried using those tools but im on win7 and they didnt seem to work very well. So as i was really interested in this, found this method that does not only look awesome but also takes only kb from your patch
its a viable method, the palettes i chose for my pack have mostly 4-5 useable colors

Re: Tutorial: Changing monster colors
wtf...You dont need to understand the palette format at all?
I never read part 1 of Paul's document and have successfully created over 30 new palettes for my new monsters.
If you just read the tutorial....
But ofc you can do it half ass and just copy.
Or you can actually spend a little more time to get it exactly as needed.
As Necrolis stated so you don't accidentally shift colors that you were not intending to.
Just my two cents...

Re: Tutorial: Changing monster colors
Does this only work on monsters?
I’m trying transforming my char to a monster using passive state but no matter how i change the Translvl, the color doesnt change. As you can see my char as Blood Raven doesnt have that white but human color skin.
The same is applied to Fallen. I always transform to the RED one.
How could I?

Re: Tutorial: Changing monster colors
tried the Fire Golem and the Druid Spirit.
It applies well. There was a problem in which the golem turned primary color when running or moving fast. Do you know how to solve this problem?
