How to create a palette?

[sommerper]

Hi!

I wanted to try this out but got stuck at

assign a palette_image containing the original colors in the inspector

Not sure what to do here? Can I use a png from lospec or is a textfile?

Thanks!

Hello!

You have to use the dither palette generator editor tool script to first produce the dithering palette from a simple image with colors, such as the ones you can download from lospec. You can select how many colors to mix together in the dither.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

I got as far as you said but I'm unable to drag and drop the image to the palette image field. Here I'm using a 1px png from lospec:

I also tried writing the absolute path in the path field:

Maybe I just don't understand the Image type - or maybe it's because I'm using Godot 4.4dev3.

Oh right. By default Godot imports images as Textures, change it to import as Image and it should work.
