What it is:

It's a palette editor, though not your typical exe, load roms, etc etc type, Nope, this palette editor edits the palette while you play the game.

This editor requires Gens 11a or higher. Download link is below.

How to use this is explained in the txt file that comes with the zip.

What it can do:

- Edit the main and underwater palettes during gameplay.
- Save a set of palette colors.(To Hard Drive, Limited)
- Load a set of palette colors and place the line of colors anywhere on the main or water palettes.(From Hard Drive, Limited)
- Water Palette Creator(Takes the main palette and applies a tint of your choice to it)
- Lock Palette
- Game Selector Window(this pops up when the script cannot determine what game it's suppose to read from, mainly for hacks)
- Edit ROM based palettes and save them, with realtime loading of rotating palettes.
- Enable Cheats with 1 button for getting around the game easier.
- A Restart button for those palettes that don't change with the realtime loader.

Supported Games:

RAM mode Support:
- Sonic 1
- Sonic 2
- Sonic 3
- Sonic and Knuckles and it's lock-on variants

ROM mode Support:
- Sonic 1
- Sonic 3 and Knuckles


Why I made it:

This was originally a Lua learning thing that turned into a project, it was never really suppose to be released, but I figured I got so far with it, that I'd clean it up a bit and release it in hopes that someone will find it useful

I hope so lol, I mean come on it's a WYSIWYG type interface, no more, making a palette blindly, saving it, compiling it, testing it, repeat until you get it right.
This should reduce the time it takes to make a palette by a lot of minutes, maybe even an half hour.

This is possible, and I thought about it while I was making this, but never went through with it cause there would have been way too much work involved.

 

New version coming tomorrow, maybe.

This new version includes a gradient builder which makes color gradients.

Not at all, go for it

 

Well damn, I came here to download my own stuff(hard drive died, lost everything), now I don't even have it.

If someone with the latest version could mirror it, that would be great.
