How to make a shirt with correct colors?

Post by kuchitsu »

Sometimes you make a shirt in MSPaint, load it into the game, and get weird different colors. How do I avoid that?

Essentially use an existing one as base.

Can you somehow see all possible colors while editing? So that you know what you can choose from.

dunno if possible in paint but you can open in imageviewer (i use irfanview) and from "image" -> "palette" you can see and then you can use screenshot of that in paint and pick colors with color picker thought with same effort as install irfanview you could install some freeware proper editor too

GIMP is easiest. It won't let you use any colors that aren't part of the palette. After opening GIMP using an old shirt, just go to Windows->Colormap and you have all the colors you can add to the shirt image.

Paint is pretty "omgwtfareudoingusingsuchprog"

Photoshop: could be "hard" to understand at first but its very easy in fact and you have a lot of useful options to edit bmps, lgrs, etc.



Download Photoshop / Download elma shirt palette https://docs.google.com/uc?authuser=0&i ... t=download
Open any tshirt made before
Before editing select Image, Mode, RGB Color
Now you can edit it using any colour/effects/etc you want
When u finished with edition, select Image, Mode, Indexed Color..., Custom..., Load...elmashirt.act (the file you downloaded on first palce), Ok. Image will be adapted to the new selected palette. If it changes too much, you can select different options on "Dither" and look the changes on preview.
Save it and test on EOL.

Easiest way is probably to make the shirt in any program you like with any colours you want and then just copy-paste it onto a shirt that uses the correct palette in Photoshop. Of course, it will change the colours a little bit, but you will barely see the difference in Elma.

If you want to use LGR Utility, here you go:

http://kopasite.net/up/0/shirtfix.zip

Just download LGR utility (64-bit) (http://mopolauta.moposite.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9618), replace the sample shirt with your own shirt, zip the .txt file, then unzip the produced .lgr file to convert your shirt into the proper palette

It basically has the same effect as doing a conversion in any image-editing software with NO dithering (so alpha channel is preserved)

I made my first shirt today by Gimp v2.10 (macOS).

Background:

- https://wiki.elmaonline.net/Playing_Onl ... _.28BMP.29
- http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13409
- viewtopic.php?p=254629#p254629

On top of those instructions I had to save the bmp as: File > Export As > Compatible options > [x] Do not write color space information.

Without this check the image was cut half and parts were separated to wrong sides (kind of).
