Talk:Palette

By educated guess, didn't Doom use a lot of browns because of the zombies and dungeon walls, et cetera? (I've never played the game, I've just seen screenshots. And I wont play it—I never play rated-M games). –SonicMaster 21:17, 7 November 2007 (PST)

That's our guess exactly. :D --Digiku ^talk 21:51, 7 November 2007 (PST)

What would happen if I made a wad that didn't fit tha palette? Would the game crash or something? --§HoneyComb§

That actually wouldn't be a problem, since most WAD editors try to convert the colors to the closest possible palette match. And even if they don't, it's technically infeasible to crash the game using a "palette mismatch". Graphics in the internal format are stored pixel-by-pixel as a pointer to the palette color. So most likely, the graphics would either have messed-up-looking colors, or show up all one solid color. :) --Digiku ^talk 08:08, 2 December 2007 (PST)
