GeneRally v1.5 Night and Reflected Light Palette ================================================ This is an experiment in creating night palette and reflected light custom palette files for GeneRally v1.05. The track and sky colors have been edited to appear like night in GeneRally, and the light posts generate a simulated reflected light on the ground and track surfaces. To install the new custom palettes, unzip GRCUSPAL.ZIP to your main GeneRally game directory (i.e. "C:\GeneRally"). Then edit the "PaletteFile" entry under the "[Misc]" heading of your "GR.ini" file with the one of following lines (back up your existing GR.ini file first before editing it): --- cut here --- [Misc] PaletteFile = GeneRally_Night.pal --- cut here --- --- cut here --- [Misc] PaletteFile = GeneRally_Night_Reflected_Light.pal --- cut here --- Load the GeneRally_Night_Reflected_Light.trk into GeneRally as well as the track editor, and have a look at the GeneRally_Night_Reflected_Light_Land_Map.gif image to see how the reflected light was simulated. GeneRally uses game palette indexes 117 and 118 within the game for palette index 11 (the red color) in the track land map. Note that GeneRally game palette indexes 192 through 239 are reserved for the car and spectator colors, and game palette indexes 176 and 177 are for the two shades of white for the lamp post bulbs, both of which result in a nice ambient light effect.
