Hey guys, seems weird for me to create a new topic in this section huh? :P

Anyway, for batch converting purposes, I need to have access to the full 256 colors table, but I can't find it anywhere. I googled and stuff without any success. The best I managed was to reset the color table in Imageready, but that only keeps the 16 used colors; which sucks.

I just hope I can use photoshop, else it will be a pain to build a program since I've never coded anything for graphics before.

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.)

Well fuck it.

Photoshop can't do shit with palettes, I'll have to write a program to flip them.

What exactly do you mean by THE FULL 256 color table?

I needed photoshop because that's how I process the "demo" sprites on the Custom Sprites section on the site. It would have been extremely convenient to just export as bmp and then have photoshop save a file for every 8 palettes of the portrait and the 8 palettes of the spritesheet; but it can't. So now I won't need portraits anymore as I updated my batch process but I'll have to code a program that creates new files with switched palettes.

Ah. Yeah that's a pretty specialized function. I don't know of any program that does that.
