Anim palette problem.

chr0nicz420 · Jumpjet Infantry **Joined**: 10 Feb 2016

I've used CustomPalette on art.ini but it doesn't work. The weirder thing is its palette is only anim.pal. I've also used AnimPalette=yes but it doesn't work either.

Try ShouldUseCellDrawer=false for the activeanim to use anim.pal

AnimPalette is for projectile art only, it doesn't work for animations.

Building anims can't have their own individual custom palettes, they will use the same palette as the building they're attached too.

You mean ShouldUseCellDrawer=false (to use anim.pal for ActiveAnim) works only in TS but not anymore in RA2/YR?

It works the same way for RA2/YR as in TS. By using ShouldUseCellDrawer=false, anim.pal could be used for ActiveAnim while the building is in unit*.pal (or custom Palette= with Ares).

Never heard of ShouldUseCellDrawer before so I couldn't comment on it. But I know from experience that Ares's CustomPalette doesn't work in the way he was trying.

We just had a thread about this when I had this trouble with a blinking light Smile

Can confirm ShouldUseCellDrawer=false works when on the ActiveAnim(s) and makes them use anim.pal instead of unit*.pal with Ares.
