how can u edit the color pallette that u can use to make a tileset

You shouldn't. Continuum uses a single palette for all graphics. You have to in 8-bit mode. If you change the tileset's palette, it will get color mapped to the normal palette, and will likely look like crap.

Yeah I've wondered that too, because if you open different zones' tileset in tileedit, the pallette IS different. EG is a good example... compared to the default one, and their tileset is beautiful.

Image editors typically choose a set of 256 colors that will best render an image when you convert. You need to tell them what the SS palette is for the conversion process. Photoshop does a pretty decent job of dithering available colors to best match the true image you want to see (if you select that option).

EG uses a LOT of LVZ, lol. That's the only reason it's beautiful.

I see it's changed now but IIRC they used to use LVZs for some diagonal walls.

There was no "job" to be "good" at. It was an accident. It was only for an extra 3 minutes, but I still feel like singed bread...

I made the last few tilesets/maps for EG and u used a dark pallet for it. Its possible to change these pallets. If you look at the EGL arena's u'll see I used a pallet consisting of only white/brown collors. When u make something in Photoshop and safe it in a 8bit 256colored format photoshop will chose the best colorpallet for it, just like Mr ekted said.

P.S. EG (mainarena) doesn't use that much LVZ files. The only LVZ's we use is a centersafety picture, helpfile and maybe some welcome messages and stuff. Im planning on using alot more of the LVZ features in the future tho

It's funny because you think you're damn good at maps Ana. You're soooo full of yourself. You and the like make me sick to my fucking stomach.

Yeah, and people who are too cowardly to log in make me sick. What a coincidence.

Ik dacht dat ik ene Anaconda - die zichzelf ook wel "Dzy" noemde (en als ik aan die naam denk komt ook "Labram" bij me op?) - in m`n MSN contactpersonenlijst staan.
Misschien dat jij je 2slow4u kunt herinneren?
Of ben jij niet dezelfde?

Edit: En een minuut later hoor ik nu van Tails dat het heel anders in elkaar zit, sorry, ik zit abuis.
