SGDK - get palette color

Helghast · Post by **Helghast** » Fri May 31, 2013 9:54 pm

hey Guys,

in the SGDK, when I try to do u16 VDP_getPaletteColor (u16 index ), there is no argument to set which palette to get values from, is that a bug, or am I interpreting that wrong?

regards, Dennis

index is 0 to 63 and specifies the offset into the CRAM.

Actually the old method getPalette(..) was working as you expected: (palette_ind, color_ind)

But in fact that just make stuff a bit less practical sometime so i modified it only for plain color index

Makes sense, once i understood this, It was a matter of seconds before I fixed what I wanted to do (ugly hack to swap palette colours to have 1 sprite in mutiple colors from a single bitmap).

I got my rom all done now actually! Now it's time to get It on the actual hardware... This is gonna be an adventure.

Glad to hear that ! Hopefully it will work on first try on actual hardware, at least i wish you that !
