Which NPC palettes are used on which maps
« on: July 21, 2016, 09:16:57 PM »
Has anyone looked into changing which NPC palettes are called up on which maps?

The Chocobo Forests are giving me a problem.  What I'd like to do is have the Chocobo Forests use the blue townsperson palette instead of the purplish Black Chocobo palette.  Make sense?  But I haven't found anything on how to do this.

Anyone have more info?

Thanks!

Each location (including towns) has two NPC palette assignments, each corresponding to two NPC palettes, for a total of four NPC palettes per location. You can edit the palette assign!ents in FF4kster, in the graphics portion (the second window) of the Map Info editor. I believe palette assignment 0 has the red and blue townsperson palettes, and assignment 1 has the purple and a generally unusable green and blue palette (don't know if it's used for anything, but it seems to be a terrible choice for any NPC).
Chocobo forests have palette assignments 2 and 8. The yellow and white chocobos use assignment 2, so you can change the 8 to whatever you want. Only the black chocobos would be affected.

Green/blue is used for the sylphs. That's why in Unprecedented Crisis when I put sylphs into the Feymarch, it made the chocobo look messed up. I could have figured out a way to work around it, but I just ran with it and called it a rainbow chocobo.

This is embarrassing.

I've been using FF4kster for a month, and... I somehow never noticed the Map Info section.  :blush:

Thank you again!  And PinkPuff!  Thank you for making this amazing tool!!!  :childish:

No worries, dude. FF4kster allows you to edit so much, that you could be using it for... Three years (?)... And still not have touched all of its features.
Case in point - I still have never used the autobattle and solo battle editors.
