Adding palettes to a sprite file?

I'm pretty new here, and just got in to FFT patching, I was wondering if it is possible to add different palletes to a sprite.

Kinda like how the generic classes have different palettes for what ever team they're on, is it possible to add palettes towards a special character like Ramza for example?

Any sprite can have multiple palettes as long as you're willing to make them. (Assuming they don't exist) =P

As the puppeteer pulls His strings,
The fragile doll spreads Her wings.
To dance a ballet as He directs
That is the Curse of the Marionette.

Controlled by a hand far, far above,
Forbidden to care, forbidden to love.
Forever shall She mime what She cannot know,
Until the day She loses her illusory glow.

Propped up on a stilt where wine once stood,
The Marionette is, once more, only wood.
Her glossy eyes have lost their shine,
Her silken hair, turned to twine.

What a fate awaits the poor little doll,
Who dances and runs but cannot stand at all.
And the puppeteer is applauded at the end of every show,
But the audience's joyous response the doll can never know.

I am but a doll on an endless stage,
Dancing for others whilst I slowly age.
My puppeteer sits far above,
Hiding His face behind a white glove.

And when I have aged to nothing but wood,
I will be tucked away in a closet where a doll once stood.
Then, as I gather dust and the world passes by,
I will be forgotten by the vast, blue sky.

You'll need to use my sprite palette hack in order to do that because all special characters and monsters are defaulted to the first palette. My hack overrides this and unlocks all the 8 palettes. Just check the little asm reference topic.

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.)

Hey Zodiac, just out of curiosity, how do Byblos/Apanda work?  Aren't they normally different palettes of the same sprite?

Yes, they are.

The dogmas of every era are nothing but the fantasies of those in power; their dreams are our waking nightmares.

So how exactly do I add a palette file to a current existing sprite?

You use Zodiac's program or download GraphicsGale.
