+2 texture question

[kyotita]

This texture im working on currently has been causing me some grief. To the team, since sonics body texture is plus two do you think you could help me figure out what its index would be?? I havent tried compiling it yet since its a +2 texture so dont know if values are fine or not. And I dont want to screw my game up any. +2 textures in general have been screwing me majorly so far


no stealing now >.>...<.<....XD
^ this is an early work so I know it needs a few touchups, if anyone wants to suggest anything though ill listen (its Scourge the Hedgehog) >.<

Sonic's texture is quite easy to fix for +2, all you need to do is make a palette.... you do this by changing it to an indexed color. You don't need to do anything else, just make sure to copy the texture from 0x260 when inserting it into the .pac. I've made plenty of Sonic textures, my favorite one being Super Sonic=)

can you explain where this 0x260 your talking about is?
And as for the index how do i figure out what index I type in since photoshop asks when I try to change it?? or would I just use the default settings?

im new at this so it would be appreciated

Okay so when you have your +2 image open in photoshop go to Image at the top, then go to mode, then click on Indexed Color. If it is on Exact click okay, but if you cannot click on exact click on Local (Perpetual) and set the number to w/e it was set on previously, or is already set on. Afterward save it.. when you go to hex edit your .pac file open up your +2 tpl file for Sonic and start copying the texture from the address 0x260 rather than from 4 lines after the start of it. Make sure to only copy from 0x260 on this .tpl file and insert it normally as you would for your other textures.
