Raster Master v1.4 R75
-New 8 bit Palette Mode. With the new palette mode we can import all the available art packs/sprite images without losing quality. This benefits mostly modern languages and libraries. Anything using raylib and RGB/RGBA output options.
-New Palette mode is found in Palette Menu under Palette XGA and Palette XGA 256
-Sprite Import Utility also has new Palette Modes as Import options
-Fix Open Palette menu item. Small typo was causing palette to be loaded incorrectly
Note: While coding the new palette modes I did discover a way to enhance the VGA (6 bit) sprite imports. I will automate this in a future version. There is a way to take advantage of this right now by doing a small palette trick in the current version
- Import your sprite from the sprite Utility
- Select XGA/XGA 256
- Exit Sprite Utility
- Switch to Sprite you just imported and go to Palette->Copy
- Now go back to Palette Menu and Select Palette VGA/VGA 256, EGA, or any of the Amiga Palette Modes
- Palette Menu again and Select Paste
This should result in better quality than just importing as VGA/EGA. This also allows you to import to Amiga Modes which are not listed as part of the import modes.
