PALETTES.BIN
PALLETES.BIN stores all the 256 colour palettes in a game. Currently, the only 256 colour palette is the master palette. It is a replacement for the ugly .MAS lump, and adds the possibility of multiple palettes: in the future we plan to give each sprite and backdrop its own 8 bit palette. If a PALETTES.BIN lump exists, any .MAS lump should be ignored.
The colour components are 0-255 (8 bit) instead of 0-63 (6 bit) as in MAS.
The lump starts with a header:
| Offset | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | INT | Size of the header, in bytes (currently 4) |
| 1 | INT | Size of each palette record, in bytes (currently 256 * 3 = 768) |
Following the header is one record per palette:
| Offset (in INTs) | Type | Meaning | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 - 383: 256 colour records |
256 * 3 * BYTEs |
