Staredit Network

1. yes it is registered, it just doesn't work anymore...I think something in this messed it up...
(it shows the loading screen, then when it disappears nothing happens, it simply disappears)

2. Is there an easier way? They may block me from re-installing it by saying the account already exists...

Wait.... WTF , Where're my posts about other descriptions ? they're under deldeted or highjacked ?

admittedly, there aresn't any descriptions of permission problem

ok i'd like 2 reposting totorials about making StarCraft graphics which posted before

The Second : creat a color pallet for RetroGrp to use in Photoshop

1. get palette file from your image in Photoshop
Now someone of u could want use palette for RetroGRP

If you had follow the first tutorial at above, you have to export as Palette file which is colours informations of ur image
notice this, if u wanna get *.pal - microsoft pallete then image mode should Indexed mode currently
if present mode isn't that Color Table command will grayed out
ok then go to menu as Image -> mode -> Color Table command in Photoshop

and then choose save button and type name and select file type as *.pal - microsoft pallete
as like below image ( I use Load operation image just refer from it )
click image

ok then you got an Palette file but u should know what is the issue to use in RetroGRP
you make sure convert your palette file to StarCraft Palette format
(it's own palette format it has different fomat from microsoft pallete *.pal )
Becuzz RetroGRP doesn't support microsoft pallete *.pal format
if try to load that in RetroGRP that will Crash Down

u guys should use PALEDIT which is editor to convert Palette format between serveral Palette fomats for RetroGrp to use

2. how to use Paledit to convert for RetroGRP
PALEDIT is palette converting Tool to use palette for many image editors and Modding tools
it's so Simple to use


First , load any Palette format then colours table filled as same Colours of the Palette
and then Check save file fomat to set which u'd want fomat



To convert for Retro, make sure check on SC (Animation) at the near center of bottom
and Save as *.Pal extension

ADDITION:
How to apply SC Palette as to Custom image in the GIMP

Overview
alright~! here is Another tutorial for Advanced modder is
i found out how to load / matching image with pallet while using GIMP just moment ago
as uguys know, GIMP is very good editor to make pixelbased image

what is better that's Powerfull and Totally Freeware
and smany people try use
so this tutorial will very useful for someone who's want make SC gfx with GIMP

Main Contents of Tutorial
-----------------------------------------
The first requirement conditions
1. install GIMP
2. get an image file which contained SC Palette information ( SC_Palette for GIMP.zip )
or get original Source BMP of SC from GRP file
-------------------------------------------
Steps
Adding SC pallet in pallet list of GIMP

1. run GIMP at first


2. first all, you make sure adding Palette in the Palette list of GIMP
3. file- open an image file which is contained SC Palette information then u can add pallete label in list
(i had attach file which is the Palette Collection at here if didn't get from this Download link : NJ's Palette Collection )
for example, open SC_unit_building.BMP file, Among Attached the Palette Collection

4. then appear new window and u can see many menus at top side if it's first time what u open the file in GIMP
5. go to "Dialogs" in menu and select Pallete (hotkey is Ctrl+P)


[COLOR=#ffa500
6. now u can see pallete list windows , point over at center of blank][/COLOR]



ADDITION:
7. and right click then appear popup menu... select "import Pallette..."



8. in Import Pallette window... seclect radio bt "Image file..." in Select source option
9. then you'll see changing Preview
if that Preview has show all right , type an name for Palette list at the Palette name box
and click [Import] btn then u can see added pallete label in list like below



ok done, now u can use this pallette for image anytimes


Set the present palette to listed SC palette

When u'd like to creat image from scratch in gimp, set palette to SC palette
cause if u does paint without non-SC colours , Probably image doesn't looks same like as your mind in game
So it is important pre-set for the starting of your work

1. Before u have save file, make sure change image mode to index mode in GIMP
Follow below step to do it
make new document or open an completed image file



go to menu - Image -> Mode -> and select indexed .. for changing mode



if present image is already index mode, then turn to RGB


and change back to index


ADDITION:
you'll see "indexed color conversion" window
check "Use custom palette" in the colormap option and click on thumbnail image
then appears Palette list which dropdown list
Choose one as u'll use SC palette



now~! you must do uncheck "Remove unused colors from final pallette"



it's done, current image changed colours in the same to SC pallette
if u want see how it setted colors of the present image,
goto Dialogs menu -> Colormap
</span>



then u can see present colors what kind image have the colours
how does colours look in the pallete preview ? is that same as SC colors now?



if it does, it's the say ok u save the file

notice : that could be show different count of row and line but if see number that same to palette set
just look propertice of indexed number

and u can edit color for each indexed number
double click color and appear edit color window then u can change color as u please
[url=http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14pu2.gif]</a>



///// Remeber that the BMP's for StarDraft SE's GRP Converter are normal
256-color bmp's, RetroGRP uses RLE encoding. //////

So when u have save file make sure set the format for BMP


Bonus Tip
when u'd painting with color u need to pick only assigned colour in palette
u can pick colour with colormap window after change mode to Indexed color
try use the colormap window like as color picker



ok, u can make and match image to SC grp with use GIMP
Also, GIMP is Freeware,there is no problem to use for make SC grpahics
it's really Good for Free user, try this then uguys will love this

i'd like to post links of GIMP tutorials a little bit to this thread
there are many tutorials in world wide web
so u could make find GIMP tutorials by searching with GooGle

Have fun ~! ^_^

ADDITION:
Dig out structure of the SC-Special Palette/colors

introdcution

hey guys~! i have an Good news for urs in here !
especialy this thread good for graphic modders who's want know
about use the Special palette for creating Custom Graphics

what is good news?... alright~! listen .....
May many of you have been wondering that about using colours of SC special pallette, right? and ditto here

Basically... when have decompiling the thingy/*.GRP to BMP
there are many of another colours Which GRP are " explosion / special effect
/ particle / flames / lights effects ....etc.. " mainly
when you've got decompiled BMP's , u couldn't see colours correctly on image
Also some of images are looks very weird like as inversed colours
cause they containes just an Default SC colors So thay doesn't look as like in game gfx

i have to find out their correctly colors and i used other way,
that way is Reverse thinking of pictorial pallete
what is that mean?... here going details.........it's really an funy way

if u read my thread about pallette , u know about principle of pallette already
ok.. then what i had use which way?...
i just made GRP with the picture which looks same as SC pallette
just like this... take look



Right~! its the image there is an pictured object which does look same of pallette colours
and this image compiled into GRP
so then if that used for Terran's Command center or anothers ...whatever...
that GRP will Displayed as the picture like as pallette

that's an kernel of my method what i how to found out the special pallette ~!

in images.dat properties of Datedit/Asnall3,Zero, there is settings about pallete
i used special image "unit\thingy\TbangX.grp" and another explorsion GRP too
and I had set that images uses Special pallete and uses speical colors of palatte propertices

uguys can see that in DatEdit/ Arsenal3,Zero...
[url=http://img304.imageshack.us/img304/8646/14pv1.gif]

as like above reference image, uguys try to set image has use special palette for owns and give an special color
saved images.dat file into MPQ After change the settings like that

so then that Command center will Displayed colors with used palette and colors
like this.... i just ran SC-Map editor cause that is best way to see as same in game
[url=http://img435.imageshack.us/img435/8887/16sj.gif]


[font=Arial][size=2]SPECIAL / YELLOW [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]


SPECIAL / GREEN


SPECIAL / BLUE 1


SPECIAL / BLUE 2



but uguys realised out which coulours are different a bit from Disaplyed GRP
in comparison with this


it is yellow colors


what could u see the different ? there is a few differece colors from Referenced palettes



ADDITION:
Take a look the colors of the first horizontal line
I had change from #1 till #14 colors cause those indexed numbers are applied to opacity from Background
and 4th line, #32~#36 color is opacity too So palettes dirve for see the opacity as good and easy

if someone would like to creat or edit Explsion gfx as different appearanced looks

but make sure notice most colours has own opacity rate against to Background colour a little bit in game SC
that's the special feature of Palette property

for example, here are images which are applied as "Default/Default" and " special / yellow"
just take comparative look
Default

yellow

How they does looks ? As ugus Seen, yellow is nearly correct to essential colors

Baically... that reference images are makes understand to which about rate of opacity
cause I had use background tranceparence color as R0 G255 B0
and opacity colors is more darkness than backgrond
the Opacity colours are more darkness and opacity rate is getting down from each other

so in a yellow palette, that shows gradient darkness with Green and on 4th line too
greenness set is my color set for understand to rate of opacity

But Remember about this issue,
Special palette has use Only 36colors with 4 lines of the palette
im not sure why they are use like that but when i had use all colors for the reference picture
Game does Crashed
i guess the special palettes are just used colors as that limit

Note: This maded palettes are not correct as Game Screenshot to totally
but Colours are nearly correct Original colors which showed in game SC
and notice about opacity colors, make sure handle that for making gfx as well as artlessly

alright~! that is a general idea of Special Palette[FONT=Arial] and other speical palettes are same
I'd like to show urs which replaced colours like as Actual Special colours of the Effect graphics

Also uguys can get these Special Palettes from Attached file from bottom of this page

there is Speical Palette all palette file maded as Microsoft™ *.PAL file
if want use these palettes for non-supporting Programs which file is Microsoft™ *.PAL format
make sure convert to other purpose format with use PALEDIT

Fortunately, there is one of free software which stand comparison with Photoshop

that is the PictBear

when i use the picbear at first, i felt it's so analogous to Photoshop interface and Features

And i can say that is really equal to Photoshop for the most part


Also the why that i suggest it is so Easy to use palette management
that's most reason what i highly recommend the PictBear for ur custom starcraft gfx

ADDITION:

How to make matching palette for custom image

1. first off u need to get palette information from SC image or Act file(kinda a palette format)

[color=orange]2. To get palette information
open custom image which have palette information of StarCraft unit


ADDITION:
Notice :
when u try open BMP file which exported BMP by Retro GRP
that would be can't load BMP into PictBear interface
i don't know why that can't Retro GRP's BMP file , what i can think the reason that maybe Retro GRP decompiler dump out the BMP with something different format with other

So if want load what exported from RetroGRP u should resave by other Tools
such as MS-Paint or sometihng

if don't want resave with anyother tools then u should get BMP file from StarDraft-GRP editor or SF's GRPeditor or CV5 tool

3. Anyway if load image done, go to menu into image - Palette - Edit palette....


4. then u can see the image of palette information in Edit Palette window
if u want make palette file with current propertice, click Save.. button


and give the name as u please such as Sc_unit_default and i suggest palette format to ACT format

5. now u can use that Act file when u need load palette for ur any images

7. To replace colors with SC palette,
now open any custom image on Pictbear,

and go to menu into image - Image Type and select Index color...
then appear a index color dialog , select custom in palette list then
u can see the image of palette information in Edit Palette window

8. click Open.. button and choose Act file, which palette for each kind of image


9. if ur palette load done, click ok button
if u want replace palette in during anytime then go to menu to image - - Palette - Edit palette....

and as same above, click Open.. button and choose Act file, which palette for each kind of image


10. if u want use layer funtion for creat easily and effectively u should change image mode to Full color...


11. To Paint from scratch with SC colours,
select menu to File - New , and appear new image dialog
set image size to fit ur custom unit and set type to index color
(if u want use layer funtion then change image mode to Full color...)
Background color just set as u please (i suggest black background but white is fine )

ADDITION:
11 . if change image mode to index color...
u should load StarCraft palette and pick color to paint color with brush
but if u set Full Color ... that unable use specific palette
So u should open another SC cutsom image which haved a StarCraft palette
and in both opened images , activate an SC cutsom image and select color in the palette pannel

and activate ur working image and paint color


and save as BMP file finally

Aight, we had find out what is PictBear and what we can do with it for Starcraft custom image

i think if uguys don't have Photoshop or Paintshop and anyother commercial use softwares
I highly recommend it, it's really good enough to use for creating custom image

if u want have it , get from this link
http://sleipnir.pos.to/cgi-bin/d/download.cgi?dl=epbse_rc5

and i had attach Act files which StarCraft palette for use with Pictbear
