unzip
add all files with UE or winrar to stbof.res
Note: all textures are reduced to 256x256 so file are compatable with hades. And custom torpedeo and explosions were created by thunderchero
credit should be given in readme if released in mod. no other permission is needed

Just adding a few ships but if I do make an MOD you'll get full credit, that's some great work you did there & on UDM 3 as well. Cheers.thunderchero wrote:this is only effective on a fresh install of 1.0.2 (vanilla install) unedited.

I am very sorry for this late posting you said only on a fresh install of 1.0.2 unedited, so its 100% no no for 1.0.3 dam. Becouse I was planing to re do my mod for 1.0.3 becouse that the version I have been modding or should say learning my self to mod, but if it only works on version 1.0.2 that fine I just use that one no worrysthunderchero wrote:this is only effective on a fresh install of 1.0.2 (vanilla install) unedited.Reap wrote:Sounds like a great tool, how is it installed?thunderchero wrote:if you get this file from my post above it will lower a fresh install to 80

This is because it already has the file in the mod. normal install of error correction mod (it is no longer called 1.0.3) palette is at 80Borg wrote:I have try it with verson 1.0.3 and it works fine, I was unsure to try it or not so it dose not matter about the above posting.
But they will not work if ship pack option is used.

Re: HOW TO: Reduce the number of Palettes
Well I wish I had found this before I started adding ships and trying to decrease the palettes manually. I'm debating if it'd be easier to start over or muddle on.

Re: HOW TO: Reduce the number of Palettes
it could be worse I could send you my ship pack collection 71 ship packs (many duplicate models) and a couple unreleased packs with new scaling method (more accurate) all with 8 phasers and 1.0 scale.brianmcfa wrote:Well I wish I had found this before I started adding ships and trying to decrease the palettes manually.

Re: HOW TO: Reduce the number of Palettes
Yeah that'd be great. I'm currently sitting at 166 palettes. I think starting over may be easier as I hadn't done much for races and buildings yet. What I did do isn't too tough to duplicate as a lot of it is just taking Stardust's data and transferring it over. Do your ship packs use the same palettes or are they all different or some combo in between?thunderchero wrote:it could be worse I could send you my ship pack collection 71 ship packs (many duplicate models) and a couple unreleased packs with new scaling method (more accurate) all with 8 phasers and 1.0 scale.brianmcfa wrote:Well I wish I had found this before I started adding ships and trying to decrease the palettes manually.

Re:
After I did this, I get a "Texture Index 328 Not Found" error when I try to change ships using the UE. Is this normal and is it a problem?thunderchero wrote:if you get this file from my post above it will lower a fresh install to 80AlexMcpherson79 wrote:Could someone do a 'vanilla botf-reduced pallettes' pack by any chance?

Re: HOW TO: Reduce the number of Palettes
this maybe a problem with the ship pack not the lower palette files. try a different ship pack.
I know there was 1 ship pack that gave this error.

Re: HOW TO: Reduce the number of Palettes
I seem to get it on every add/delete/replace I do. I played a few turns after I added and it didn't seem to affect the game when I took one of those ships into battle. I also did a reinstall of the Vanilla 1.0.2 and the palette files since I hadn't done much else. Maybe I didn't add them in correctly. I went to the files screen on UE and then just added them all directly from the unzipped palettes folder then saved. Was there another method?thunderchero wrote:this maybe a problem with the ship pack not the lower palette files. try a different ship pack.

Re: HOW TO: Reduce the number of Palettes
One other thing I noticed that may or may not be related: When I replaced a ship, it sometimes didn't remove the old graphics files. For instance, if I replaced the vanilla Galor with any other ship I noticed that the palettes still went up. When I went into the textures section and scrolled down the file list, the old Galor's .gif files were still there and so was its palette. I would have to remove them manually to get rid of that palette.thunderchero wrote:just tested and getting same error, not sure why and not seen it before.
