reposting this here cus i realized no one looks in the petz section, hope that's okay!

hi guiz



before i frighten myself creeping onto a petz forum i havent been on in like a year i thought i'd ask here



i'm making these lil alien dudes



*beep boop take me 2 ur leader*



and like................................ how do i petz texture.



from googling it i can see its somewhat similar to babyz except for a size restriction so 32x32 and the standard 256 colour bmp. i did that and what im wanting is basically just a flat textureless colour, ideally in the colour i want (im wanting to complete the gang with a pastelly pink and purple) but if not just to have NO TEXTURE and settle for #70 and #5. (i know 5 is textureless but its not the colour i want hnnnnngggggggg)



halp???

oh actually i have made petz textures before! it's exactly the same as making babyz textures except it just has to be within the size restrictions!

ℓacey ☀️ ye i tried that but its showing up rly pixelly? :c

hmmmmmmmmmm that is very weird, are you sure you're taking the colors directly from the petz palette? it might help to do the thing where you work within a bmp that's already the right palette as well. i haven't done it very much but i think i made that strawberry bmp for ruby's cat that you hexed and i'm 90% sure i just did it the same way but within the size restrictions. granted maybe it was harder to tell the pixellyness on that one since it already had a dotty texture!

im not, i was hoping to do a different colour because the ones they have in game dont match very well ;~; but i could settle for that if theres no other way!

ohhhh yeah if you're not plucking the color directly from the palette then it's always gonna have some pixeling unfortunately cause that's the game trying to make the color you chose out of the palette restrictions it has. it's sort of like the game's version of color mixing. babyz does it too which is why colors can look so much different in game than they do on an image editor D:
