Hi, is it possible to load a custom colour palette on to gmax? Or can i save a model as a bmp?
I cant speak english very good, and so i dont know every function of gmax. :blush:

I'd suggest asking on a gmax oriented forum. Very few people (if any) here use gmax.

There's a rendering plug in for gmax that I'd expect no less from it than allow you to render and output frames in .bmp format.

Other than that, you'll have to, most likely, use Photoshop, gimp or a somewhat advanced image editing software to apply the pallete to frames.

That guy ued the plug in. More information about uch rendering plug in is there.

Or just paste the image into Paint? Paint is actually pretty good at choosing which colors should be what.

I forgot.

But yeah, that'd work too. Just make sure the bmp you are pasting it into is 256 color bmp or if you could just extract a frame from an already palleted grp from starcraft would work much better and more secure.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
