There are 2 ways

1: use shp builder to convert the colors https://www.ppmsite.com/?go=shpbuilderinfo

2: use the palette traits

The second is the easiest.

Do the following:

open palettes.yaml and add this

Code: Select all

	PaletteFromFile@playerTD:
		Name: playerTD
		Filename: temperatTD.pal
		ShadowIndex: 4
	PlayerColorPalette@playerTD:
		BaseName: playerTD
		BasePalette: playerTD
		RemapIndex: 176, 178, 180, 182, 184, 186, 189, 191, 177, 179, 181, 183, 185, 187, 188, 190
Next step is to add the TD palette file to your mod directory (rename it to temperatTD.pal first)

Final step is to make the game use the TD palette to the units you want, for that, do this to the units you want to "convert" from TD to RA

Code: Select all

	RenderSprites:
		PlayerPalette: playerTD

OpenRA.YamlException: Actor type playercolorpalette@playerra: Junk value `playerRA` on trait node BaseName

Why do I receive this error Message so many times?

The "Junk value"...whatever...

Is this wrong?

Just some random guesses: Wrong indentation, missing space between the ":" and the value ("playerRA").
