256 colour Miloslav Palette

Pokitto Programming Pixel Art
1

@Vampirics and I are looking to use a 256 colour palette for a game we are creating.

In the Pokitto library, there appears to be only one 256 colour one which was created by @drummyfish.

This would work fine but I am unsure how to load the palette into the FemtoIDE for automatic conversion and how to load it into Photoshop that Stephane is using to create graphics. I know the FemtoIDE can import JASC format and Photoshop uses .ASE.

Is there a way to convert or import the Miloslav palette for these tools?

Here it is as a pal file: Miloslav.pal (2.5 KB)
For FemtoIDE to use it for the conversion, have this in your project.json:

	"PNGFlags": {
		"ALL": [
			"palette=${appPath}/PokittoLib/Pokitto/POKITTO_CORE/PALETTES/miloslav.h"
		]
	},

In the next version of FemtoIDE there will be a menu for changing settings such as the palette and previewing the conversion, so you don’t have to edit the project.json manually.

Two out of three aint bad!

The Miloslav palette works as you described in the FemtoIDE (Piskel) and in the code itself.

What @Vampirics cannot do is to import it into Photoshop for his magic to occur. PS requires an .ase format apparently. Does anyone know how to convert this? A google search revealed few results.

Would it be possible to save a .png using psp or something with that palette, open it in photoshop and save the palette from there?

Glad to see people using my palette :slight_smile: If you need a quick generic 256 color palette you may also just use the 332 colors.

We might be coloring a game you had a hand in!

Are you kidding? It’s the only one I have used since you released it.

Last week I bought some paint for the house and I had “Miloslav.pal” with me at the hardware store!
