soulwolf Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hey, I was wondering if anyone on here knows of any tools to edit the character sprites in the Neo Geo games. I'm talking something like the color edit feature of fighting games like Darkstalkers 3 (original character mode = color edit), kof 2002 and 2003, SVC Chaos, Capcom vs SNK 2, etc. I'm looking to use them for myself, not to release hacks to the public like King of Fighters 10th Anniversary, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and others. I tried searching on Google already, but only came across one I've used before, called NeoPal. I had trouble finding the palettes for garou and never got an answer when I asked the maker of it for tips on how to find the palettes, so I got rid of it. However, the link to the download is dead now and I couldn't find any others. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 http://www.zophar.net/utilities/graphutil.htmlThere should be some good ones in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iq_132 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The Neo-Geo Pallete isn't actually controlled by the Cx (graphics) roms. It is controlled by the Px (program) data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulwolf Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Yeah, that's what that neopal program I came across did. That Zophar site did come up in google, but nothing for neo geo palettes. At least not for the arcade neo geo, but I did see some stuff for pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Well, I don't know that this is guaranteed to work with all games, but... in Samurai Shodown for instance you can "ramp up" the palette value in a cheat file past 1-4. This effectively gives you 256 different combinations of colors to work, although you'll have to go through them individually to make sure they look acceptable (it also affects things such as skin-tones.) There are normally 4-entry strings which work well amid 100s of entries of garishness (for instance, 64-67 might work brilliantly for Galford and Hanzo but not anyone else), but it does give you a bunch of extra colors, some of which are much prettier than the defaults.

soulwolf Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 ^ Do you know of a link, or do you yourself know, that shows you how to make a line like that in a cheat file? I've never messed with cheats, ever, so I don't really know where to even begin with making one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
