Team Marking

[NoobOfLore]

I'm constructing a mod of which will be almost solely dedicated to turning the Zergling into Pac-man. I'm constructing a team-color system, and I want to keep to the clean, simple pac-man theme. Are there any recommendations to how I might place the team colors on Pac-Man?
My first Idea is that I should just put a border around him in the team color.

I would say just use the lightest color of purple, so that you have very bright, faint colored pacmen. That, or make the eyes the team color.

Did pac-man have eyes? I think not.
At least not the original. And I'm going for retro style.
And where did you recommend I put the lightest team color? Just color him team color? I told you I want him to be regular old pac-man, And he's yellow. So I guess I'll go with my original Idea of giving him a border, since it's inconspicuous but easy to find.

Hum.... Does anyone know if you can give team colors to the shadow?

You could probably give him an imgul in the iscript that shows an image with the team color underneath Pac Man.

Or modify the shadow's .grp to be player colour and change the palette the shadow uses in images.dat.

-.-
I'm afraid I don't know how to work with the palates for shadows. And where can I find the shadow's GRP? I don't know where to find it in the MQP. A file name maybe?
And can anyones supply me with a palate for the shadows, since I don't have it available to me.

Images.dat is your friend.

In case you can't read the captions, the left side says "Make that grp player colour" and the right side says "change to normal draw".

That seems easy enough...Thanks. And I guess I'll need to redraw the shadow as well, to deal with the pac-tagonal shape.
