Please...

1. Explain why modifying jyotyu discolours coins and other common objects.

2. How to avoid

3. Or fix this problem

Anybody who helps will be credited for my hack.

Yes, I am unaware of any thread answering my question.

Because when you recolor jyotyu you change the palatte.

More files refer to that palette and use the recolored palette.
You need to adapt ALL the files to the palette to have normal colors.

1. I see the list of all the files that use it. (http://nsmbhd.net/thread/1297-list-of-bitmaps-wich-are-using-the-jyotyu-palette/) But where is the jyotyu pallete?

2. What do you mean adapt them?

It is in the BG_ncl folder. There are 4 palettes.
1 - Golden
2 - Blue
3 - Red
4 - Grey

They are for the 4 different settings in a level (Winter, Grassland, Volcanoe, Underground, ...)
They are called "jyotyu_xxx.ncl" IIRC. (replace xxx with something i can't remember anymore.

But I did not change the ? block or brick block, just the metal block. And the metal block doesn't change with the pallete.

So how do I adapt them?

You need to open all the files stated here: List of Bitmaps wich are using the jyotyu palette
Then you need to open these palettes in the BG_ncl folder:
Export all Bitmaps with all Palettes.
Edit the tiles in that image you want, using a good image editing software.
Import All.

That is it.

Are you saying those files contain the metal block?

I use paint.net

I know how to do normal tilesets.

OR draw the things in the integrated graphics editor without exporting/importing anything. Then it'll work because you're not modifying any palette.

Sorry...you are ignoring my questions and just suggesting I do something else.

* If I extract all the bitmaps of those files, then import them, will it work?


* Or do I simply have to use the existing pallete when editing the tileset?

You can do it both ways. It will work then.

This is my understanding at the moment (link):

http://nsmbhd.net/wiki/Jyotyu_Tileset/


But I don't get how it works.


If you recreate the palletes for one of the bitmaps, doesn't that mess up the tileset?

The best way to edit the Jyotyo-Stuff is to open all pallets and then all bitmaps. Now you click export all bitmaps with all palletes. Then you edit the exported bitmap as you like to. Afer that you click in the editor Import all bitmaps and recreate all palletes. This way you won't get any corruption.

That is true:

That is not true:


Second part is not true, because if you export/import each bitmap, the palette would change every time again, messing up the other bitmaps again. So you need to export ALL bitmaps at once with the 5 jyotyu palettes, and import ALL bitmaps at once again. So the palette recreates itself matching up with ALL the objects using the palettes.

So the core thing is; having all the windows open at the same time?

Open up all the files and all the palettes into ONE window. Then do like I told you before.

Thanks. I actually never understood the pallete window completely, but now I know it is for multiple images.

EDIT:
Isn't this a bit tedious, having to import all those files just for a tiny change to jyotyu?

EDIT2:
Actual question there ^ and here V

Do you actually have to export and import with all palletes for each bitmap, or can you just press save?
