the problem is that even though you can reduce the color limit, the quality of the images will drop a bit.
i’ve just checked the color limits in photoshop, they are indeed far more than 16. no idea why they render that way in the raw sprite format.
here’s a paragon between the original rips that i edited( on the left ), and the 16 color version( on the right ):
the difference isn’t that big in terms of visuals, but if you check the small details like the fire shades, you’ll see there’s something missing.
i’m not really into rom hacking, so i can’t help with messing around presets and system features.
in any case, reducing the overall amount of colors seems to be the easy/quick way to fix the compatibility issue, but if someone else can manage to bring the original render into the game without working on the palettes, then good for them i guess.
I mean… if you don’t zip those images up that you posted, I’m not gonna go through, right click, save, and rename each of them one by one. You have them on your pc now, all named properly. So, bundling them into a zip and uploading them would take you less time than it would take me to do the work myself.
had on my pc. i usually don’t keep my stuff around for too long after i put it here
the files should always keep their original names though, even if they’re written sort-of-like-this when you open a new window to show just the image.
anyway, let’s see if i did this right: FF GBA II & V backgrounds.7z - Google Drive
that’s the download link for the .7z file with all the backgrounds in it.
if the .zip file is alright, good, if not let me know and i’ll try something else.
( i’ll always save my stuff in my own gallery for safety though, since i’m not gonna throw away hours of editing for sure~ )
Milom from discord is currently redoing the entire Weapon Icon repo. They will now all be put into categories, with credits assigned to them, allowing people to find the ‘types’ of icons they want while also browsing fewer folders. Instead of 200 different folders, now there will only be 20 or so.
This is a work in progress, and I’ll probably go through and do some work on it once he finishes.
