: : : : Hi. 1)I have some bmp files that I would like to use as mat's
: : : : in JK. I have them at the right size and they have been converted
: : : : to mat format via "Matmaster" and I having that CMP color problem.
: : : : I have tried to use a cmp editor but I just don't quite get it. do I
: : : : extract the cmp's from JK and somehow use then for the color? I think
: : : : I'm almost there, Any help please.
: : : : 2) Can you convert LAB files into GOB files and if so is there a problem
: : : : with doing it? If not (or maybe even if there is) can you tell me how to do it?
: : : : Thank you

: : : Kenobi,

: : : When you convert in Matmaster, what are you putting in the
: : : "palette from file" box?

: : : I think Matmaster comes with uicolor.cmp, which I guess you can
: : : use...I converted the jk.pal to .cmp with the Pal2Cmp program,
: : : cause I've noticed that uicolor's colors are a little
: : : different...

: : : I certainly am rambling....

: : I have been looking for jk.pal to use but the link is bronken
: : for the only copy I know of. Your right the unicolor.cmp does not
: : work well. Do you know where I can get a copy of JKPal? and do I
: : use the JK palette's to make the right color?
: : Any help on question #2 anyone?

: I e-mailed you the jk.pal file...I can't believe it's not readily
: available anywhere...Unless I'm doing things backwards with my skinning,
: it seems that this is a pretty essential thing to have out there...
: Good luck =)

I don`t suppose these Bmps originaly came from Outlaws ?
In that case you should be saving the palette from those and using that in your mats. you should also use a custom cmp for them.. If this is where they came from, i`m guessing due to your question about the Lab files which are Outlaws files.

The answer is close to one of the other answers you would need to extract all the parts you need then re gob them , as for most of the actual level related files they would not be any good, An outlaws level is an uprated DF one they are not the same , there is no converter to convert the outlaw levels to JK at this time.
The itm,nwx,inf,obt,lvt,rcm etc files are no good to you at all. The only ones you could possibly make any use out of would be the wavs , and pcx.
