[Showcase] Palette Extension Tools for ACT Editor

[Hanashi 4]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on some scripts to improve palette management in ACT Editor. The main functionality and logic are already complete, but the UI still needs a lot of refinement. I’ve prepared improvements, and once ACT Editor updates to .NET Framework 4.8 (thanks to Tokei’s work), I’ll be able to integrate them properly.

 

✅ Included Scripts

Remove Unused Palette

Cleans your palette by marking unused colors in magenta.

Makes it easier to spot wasted slots and optimize your palette.

Sort Palette Blocks

Reorders palette blocks based on color usage and brightness.

Lets you keep special colors in fixed slots while organizing the rest automatically.

Interactive config window for custom sorting options.

Palette Generator

Generates entire sets of palettes automatically.

Supports hue shifts, saturation/lightness adjustments, and Photoshop-like colorize mode.

Batch export .pal files with customizable naming.

 

🌟 Why This Matters

Managing palettes manually is time-consuming and error-prone. These scripts automate the hardest parts:

• No more hunting for unused slots.
• No more messy palette orders.
• No more repetitive recoloring.

 

These tools take time and effort to build. Having a clear goal helps me stay motivated and ensures I can dedicate proper time to improving them. Your support directly helps speed up development and polish.

Thanks for reading, and I’m excited to share more not only in this tool but anything related to RO.
