It's just a question of formatting, easily solved via an external solution to convert between the two. I'm not sure why you indicate "I am not too sure really?"... it really is that simple!
Yeah... 😅

Scripting is something that I really struggle with... Especially when I don't really understand many programming languages.

It's kind of why this thread exists... 😓 I am sorry.

Oh I didn't mean it like that...

The RGB values are handled differently between .GPL and .txt so experimenting with a temporary solution as a stop gap measure while you develop 2.0 may be an interesting idea.

I am not too sure really?
Considering GPL uses
Code: [Select]
  R   G   B NameAnd yours uses
Code: [Select]
{  R   G   B}ignoring the header, A regular expression code handles the conversion partially okay?
Find
Code: [Select]
(\d+\s+\d+\s+\d+).+Replace
Code: [Select]
{$1}
I guess without more experimenting with how palettes are handled within RP it's really hard to say.

I am pretty sure that it's possible to automate the conversion between the palette styles with an independently run script file? I am not too sure on this sort of stuff myself. :P

Oh you're totally right and I completely understand that.  :D

I also agree with you, the reason why I suggest this, is to make it simpler to transfer palette files between applications more seamless.

If you are not too enthusiastic about the unlimited nature of it? Why not read the file and when the palette in REXPaint fills up, it could simply continue attempting to write something into nothing?

The idea really is just a wild take based on scam USB Flash storage devices. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe truncate the read attempt when the palette is full to save on loading time, especially when you have literally millions of colours? idk, it's your program and you don't need to take on board my suggestions. Nor should you feel pressured into implementing my suggestion.

It's already an awesome program and I can't wait for 2.0!

That's very true! Thank you for your very fast responses.

And you did some fantastic work here, I wish you all the best going forward. This is probably the best ascii design tool I've ever used.

.GPL is a palette file used by GIMP which lets you specify an unlimited amount of colours.
these .gpl files are also supported by inkscape and krita.

The file format is human readable so you can open the file up in a text editor and make your own if you know the RGB values.

Attached are sample files I compiled from e-paint.co.uk using regular expression to show you an example of what they look like.

Oh wow! A few of these I have never heard of.
chartreuse and fuchsia being a couple of them.

I was almost there with sky, I wrote skyblue.
Of course, I could actually suggest referencing something else, like referencing web safe colours Web Safe Colours, or maybe BB Colours

And yes,  feel free to try the BB colours right here in this forum, they all work!

Sorry ;) I simply couldn't resist.  ;D

Hi!

I downloaded this today because I needed something like this for efficient mapping purposes.

And I discovered skins and upon looking at it, it looked like a lot of fun to play around with it.

but when it came to Color names, the manual says there are names, but there's no list of names...

Like, for instance, Azure is supported, but Cyan and Teal aren't.

I wouldn't mind some help with finding out which colours are supported and the corresponding RGB values as well.

Thank you for reading. :)
