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

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:

Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Is it forbidden to have a large avatar?

actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you.
