Hi,
This is Nick. I am sure as many of my fellow 64 color jersey makers know, if you don't black out the previous 192 colors in the jersey pallette before the last fixed 64 as Simon instructed (its done to avoid color confusion) then all the regular colors of FIFA still stay, and basically if you decide to use on of them in your 64 color jersey, you can change them withing the game. Take for example my Barcelona jersey. If you look at the actual image in the FSH file, the blue stripes that are supposed to be in Barca's jersey, I actually made white, the primary color in the fifa 2000 pallette and therefore you can change their colors in the game. I did this because I want to have extra shading. However, for the part where the logos and sponsors are, it is always best to have the 64 color technique. The reason for this is that if you try to make curved lines and sponsors using the built-in colors of the FIFA pallete, they will have "jagged" edges (these edges can be seen in the Dortmund jersey screenshot on the main page) because you cannot blend the colors together with the back of the jersey otherwise FIFA cannot cannot change the new colors you have created by blurring the edges.
Also, as many of you know, the ingame FIFA jersey editor has a lot of color variations, but as you can see in the Dortmund "128-color" jersey on the main page, it has a yellow color which is from the ingame editor. However, this is not the real color of the dortmund jersey. The real color is a gold, rich dark yellow which you can see in my Dortmund jersey. 64 colors allows you to choose exactly the shades of color you want.
So ultimately, the TUTORIAL is as follows: If you want so called "128-color" jerseys, simply make a 64 color jersey, but do not black out the previous 192 colors in the pallette. Just look at all the pallettes in my 64c jerseys, they ALL have the original colors still there. Then, if you want to be able to change colors in the ingame FIFA editor while still keeping the 64 colors, just use one of the original colors from the FIFA pallette (i.e. they whites and greys for primary color, the reds I think for secondary, etc.) and draw them into your 64c jersey. Then when you go to the ingame editor, you will still see the 64 fixed colors however the sections of the jersey in which you used the FIFA colors, you will see that you can change their colors by scrolling through either the primary, secondary, or tertiary colors.
All I am trying to say is to not get hyped about this alleged "new 128-color technique" because in essence, it already exists.
Sincerely,
Nick K.
P.S. If you have any questions about the 64-color or "128-color" techniques, email me at slickdude6@hotmail.com
