Used palette for unit shadows?

Hi,

could you help me which palette is used to convert the unit shadow images in starcraft1?

For most other graphics I found out which palettes to use. If I use tunit.pcx than I get a blue shadow. If I use tfontgam.pcx then I get a complete black shadow (which isn't bad at all). But from most screenshots it looks as shadows have a alpha based 2D palette. I tried dark.pcx with my implemented algorithm and it didn't work.

So could you give my any hints?

BTW: I documented here what I know about SC palettes. Just that you know I understood the basics: https://github.com/andreas-volz/stargus/wiki/Starcraft-Palettes

regards
Andreas

Oh_Man -- what units would u want to see in a second SC1 expansion? Green Archon? Terran Viking? Baneling?

Oh_Man -- Blizzard should go the WoW classic route - give us a second expansion for Starcraft 1!

l)ark_ssj9kevin -- I ended up buying it

dumbducky -- Kinda wild I never played it.

Ultraviolet -- kinda wild that SC:R is approaching a decade old at this point

NudeRaider -- doesn't change much of my argument. That's still 15 years ago. And they went the "lazy" route and used the sc2 engine for, which obviously is more limited (but way quicker) than rendering everything from scratch.

Ultraviolet -- I haven't even paid enough attention to remastered cinematics to even compare to what that guy did

[2025-3-12. : 6:06 pm]

Ultraviolet -- think he was comparing what that guy did to SC:R's cinematics more than SC2's cinematics

NudeRaider -- That said, I like the gritty look of his more than what they did with the sc2 cinematics where everything is just glowy and polished. This is just more fitting of a war scenario and captures the desperation of the Protoss better..

Oh_Man shouted: how can one person surpass entire video game company, none of SCBW's cinematics got remastered liek this

they weren't really remade, just rerecorded in hd or something. It's now over 25 years after they were made, tools and techniques have improved a lot and are much more accessible.
