I can't change sprite of knight

Hello, I have psxfin emulator on which I am playing FFT. I have two files Final Fantasy Tactics [NTSC-U] [SCUS-94221].bin andFinal Fantasy Tactics [NTSC-U] [SCUS-94221].cue. I always wanted to change blue colour for red on knight, mages and archers because it is my favourite colour. I read your forum a bit and watched videos on youtube.com how to change portrait of players and how I can change colour, but nothing changed. I was doing as it was written on website, but appearance of knight doesn't change (I mean I wanted red colour instaed of red one on knights, for example, but he has blue one until now.). What the problem could occur to me?

You need to swap the palettes around. You can use palette editor by Xifanie to do this. Or graphicsgale.

Look! When I chose 64 - Male Knight in Shishi Sprite Editor, I had 8 Sprites, 3 of them were empty( it means they were black at palette bars), Sprite №1 was a male knight with blue emblem, sprite #3 was a male knight with red emblem. I managed to swap Sprite #1 and Sprite #3. I thought you played for Sprite #1 because all your units have blue colour and decided to swap two sprites, but nothing changed. Look at my screenshot. I can't understand what I am doing wrong, I swapped palette in GraphicsGale. Screenshot1 shows the initial sprite1, screenshot3 shows the final stage of palette in comparison with initial one, screenshot 4 and 5: I changed face and icon of knight and save file and then using cdimage I changed unit.bin and wldface.bin, screenshot6: knight has blue emblem amd leggings, so I can't realise when is my mistake until now. It is my dream to have red colour as an ally, not enemy. Help me, please, guys!

Already told you what to do. Not my fault you didnt listen. I know exactly what the issue is. The game has teams, each of those teams (factions has a palette) player team loads palette 1, you need to swap the palettes around.

Save yourself some trouble and use Shishi to change the formation sprite/portrait instead of that Japanese translated program requiring you to use CDMage or whatever to import the files. Shishi just does it for you.

And if you're going to switch palettes that way, make sure "Match Pixels with Colors" isn't checked

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

It might just be the Formation sprite then. Did the in battle sprite change to red like you wanted?

It looks like the Shishi side was correct but you didn't show an in battle screenshot.

Could I change apearance for Ramza, for instance, could he transofm in Wiegraf?

If you don't mind taking many hours to edit the dozens of instances where he would look glitched in event as a result, sure. Or leave them as is--they don't hurt. They'll just make the story rather ugly to look at at times.
