Topic: Which NPC palettes are used on which maps

[fedorajoe]

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. 

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

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.
