How do the grps for the exhausts and stuff for the spacecraft work? I want to replace a few, but don't understand why they look nothing like they do in-game

The engine overlays and other stuff like that have different palette(s). I don't know which one(s). If I ever find them, I'll post where they are. Just remember, it really isn't the color that is being displayed that is important, its the index number of that color.

StarCraft not spacecraft, and ya they might have us their own special program to make the grps and they're soo detailed too.

Hi ALittleBirdie, I'd just like to say welcome to WarBoards.org since this is the first time I've seen you!
Yeah, the palettes have definitely been found, and SCMDraft does display them correctly because we understand them. It's just no one's created them in a form which can be read by a graphic editor. I found them in the MPQ once as PCX files, but I can't remember their location sorry.

Engine Overlays... So that's what they are called. Must remember that.
Does this mean I'll have to hold off making them until somebody decides to release a palette? None of the existing protoss/terran spacecraft fit the engine arrangements of what I'm making.
And thank you HeroicRaptor for clearing up my use of the word "spacecraft" for me.

Well, you could go on a hunt yourself for them. They're stored as PCX files, so you would have the labourous task of looking at each pixel in the PCX file and using Photoshop or something to create a palette with each colour (I'm not sure if that's how it works, but I presume so.) If you create your the palette yourself, then we can host it on StarCraft.org and you'll be forever remembered as "the guy who created the palettes" lol

What a polite person you are.
