Title: Different Pallete?
Post by: arseniy on March 14, 2010, 12:38:22 AM
Is there any alternative palletes for TGL? Of course the original pallete is great but playing a modified version with other pallete makes sense,
[edit]
attached the latest pallete update

There aren't any alternate palettes built into the game.  You can change the palettes manually by hex editing the palette entries in the ROM (a series of 3-color entries starting at 0x1731A), or you can change what palettes get loaded in the level-loading routines.

My TGL color hack (http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,10474.msg158040.html) works by overwriting the hero color with a value from RAM every time the palettes are updated.

I trying to edit a pallete. By far it's OK but I played only few levels through so not sure how would things look further.
However hack can add a possibility. Not enough of the hero only.
Attached the progress by far

I use LunarIPS to apply patches to roms: Lunar IPS (http://www.romhacking.net/utils/240/).  It's for windows, so if you use another OS you might have to find a different patcher.

Here are the steps to patch your rom using Lunar IPS:

1) Backup your rom file (the patch alters it permanently).
2) Open LunarIPS
3) Click "Apply IPS Patch"
4) Choose .nes file to patch
5) Choose .ips file to patch with
6) Play

 :-\ I'm not sure I would want to go if the tour guides are Fleepa, Optomon, Grimgrin, and Clawbot... They'd probably try to kill me XD!
