Hi. Since I want to try myself at making some sprites for OpenTTD, I'm looking for the palette files.
The problem I'm having is that files linked at this address: https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:Graphic_files give me 502 bad gateway error.

Ok I found the dos palette here: https://web.archive.org/web/20121115112 ... rf-dos.gpl

For future reference, both the DOS palette and comparative palette images on https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/P ... oordinates are 256 colour pngs with the DOS palette applied.

Now I coulda sworn that I updated this wiki some years ago with the alternate links to Internet Archive, but I think I updated a different one instead. Oh well, that reminds me that I should just update this one too.

Is there no way to just upload the palette files to the wiki?

a wiki and a file hoster are probably two separate bits of software/infrastructure.

I am a little new to the coding of this game but is there a list of colours and corresponding numbers in lieu of the palletes being available? (That web archive GPL file wasn't recognised by GIMP for some reason.)

For example, an industry has map_colour "174"... where can I look this up to see what colour that is?

You might find https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/tree ... s/palettes of use.

Marvelous, exactly what I need. Thanks so much.

If it's just for coding and not drawing this is probably more convenient https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/P ... oordinates

Thanks for that link. I find the github link super easy to reference for coding because I can easily see what colour '127' is for example. Whereas I wouldn't know how to look up '127' on the wiki link. Unless I am missing something?

You need to look up in hex 127 is 7F so last in 8th row

Oh, there is a similar image in that github, nvm then. I didn't notice it at first and thought it's only editor palette files.

Wiki page does a better job at explaining what colors are safe to use though.
