The thing I noticed when changing bowser is that you are very limited when it comes to colors. You can only use 6 colors. Good luck changing him, let us know what you come up with. |

Bowser's code most likely loads its own custom palette at run-time (like the Magikoopas do). You'd have to locate and edit the palette manually.
Also, the second set of colors you have circled is NOT used for the fireballs; that's a background palette, and the fireballs are sprites. I'm certain they use the 3rd sprite palette (the yellow Koopa palette). |

Ya I know, thats just to show what he will look like, the colours and all. I have it blended really well.
I tried what you said Cpu anbout trying eacj colour that looks like it would match bowser. I did, and nothing happened. So then I went ahead and made EVERY palette colour a shade of brown. Everything became brown except for Mario and Bowser. I have never gotten mario to change colour before without importing a savestate from a non mario game...
So theres something weird with bowsers palettes...Fu, or BMF would you guys happen to know whats going on? Or anyone else for that matter?

That koopa doesn't look too good maybe you shud make it blend more. |

Again, I thought that it was the other way around CPUbasic. I have a palette shot here:
The red circled colous are the fire that Bowser drops. The koopa to the far right is almost how he should look. The koopa in the happy face ship is what he looks like in ZSNES. The top circled palettes match up with bowser. The 4th-7th one is his ship, and the last 6 should be bowser.
The reason that the koopa has a red face and green shell is because I used the wrong colours when working with the shot. |

The boss's level meaning castle the boss's area meaning where you fight the boss. |

The fire that bowser drops uses the same palette as the lava from the underground sets. And bowser uses the 5th (counting 0, 1, 2 etc from the far left) palette for his happy face ship. Then his palette is abit farther down the line. I edited it, but no luck. I am doing all this stuff in a test ROM because I dont want to screw anything up with all the inserting and extracting of graphics.
I will upload some pics to show you better what I mean
You have to put the pallette in the boss area not the boss level. i'm not sure which one is bowser. but it's one of the higher level #'s.
Whats the difference between boss area and boss level? This post was a bit confusing.
I think he means change the palette of the boss room (contains the boss) and not the level you are in before you are in (which sounds completely stupid to say... as it is common sense...).
All I know is Bowser is Layer 1. The ground is a sprite. I thought Bowser would use some sort of normal palette because of the green and brownish colors. He might use the same palette as the pipes... just keep testing... anything that looks like Bowser's color, edit one at a time. |

...if I remember correctly, Bowser is a Layer 1 object and uses the basic FG palette... the one used with the first two levels in the unedited SMW...
Don't think I am correct though. Make a backup and test with that. That might be the problem... |

I am currently replacing bowser with a different sprite. I dont know how well it will go over with all you guys, but I will post shots once I get the palettes working.
So I have edited the palette and got the correct palette on the new sprite. I saved that palette to bowsers level and made sure that I saved the level aswell.
I test it out in ZSNES and there is no palette change. Is it possible to edit the palettes of bosses? If so how? |
