I'd like to change the color pinkskin of avatars to more like a true skin color same skin-pink like the portraits would already do fine. The other skin colors tanskin, darkskin, and blackskin look all okay to me but this pinkskin is too rosy.
Is there any palette file to edit to correct this?

Thanks. Is there any tool/program to edit this *.dat file or is hex-editing in order?
I've already checked with my hexeditor and luckily it's easy to read.

Thanks so much!
Can you give me the download-link on senduit.com?
After upload, you're given a link to your file. If you have forgotten it, please upload again and better set the expire date to 1 week, so others can download as well for that time.

Will do!!
For some reason, it will not allow me to do this at all.
However, try the following site. It has this and more.
It is in Polish, with some English, but self-explanatory.
The file you want is about 1/3rd the way down and listed as 'Palette Editor'.
http://download.jaggedalliance.pl/files.php?cat=29
As I said before, if all else fails, I can e-mail it to you.

JA2PAL10.exe (559.996 Bytes)?
When I run it where the JA2PAL.DAT is, Windoze (XP) blahs about "invalid application". What's up? Do I also need install some other system files or doesn't it work on WinXP anymore?

There is no installation routine, just this exe which seems to be corrupt. No readme.
Lords-of-the-Bytes site is more or less down. I've already rummaged the net for Toxic's editor but can't find it somewhere.
Here's another file-host which should work if someone would be so kind to upload his working version (rar-ed or zipped):
http://www.megaupload.com
Maybe it doesn't work on my machine but others can also download and work with it then. Most importantly would be to make it available again on running sites with JA2 stuff, like khelle.de.

Thanks!
Yup, I've also screwed a lot with the colors until I finally got pinkskin the way it as moment. It's difficult to make a color gradient look nice from light to dark if the figures themselves only support so few colors.
You just don't have to look so close like on the pictures above then anything looks fine in the game.
There're too many values to write down but just use the tool and my file to look them up if you're interested.

ja2 renegade republic is 1.13 as well. So the content is interchangeable if interchanged correctly
animations is easy, you copy-paste the anims/M_merc folder over to 1.13 (data-1.13/anims folder) if you want to play 1.13 with RR animations. However, in vanilla 1.13 you'll get this animations for guys like Scully or others that might not make much sense with that bodytype.
starting Items from RR. Carrying those to 1.13 is, on the other hand, more complicated. In fact, this can hardly be done without glitches, unless you copy almost anything from RR. It's much easier to just play RR from its folder rather than additionally cut-pasting contents to the 1.13 folder.
this is apart from animations, where it really isn't a problem.
the bullet animation, is, as far as i know, coded and not an animation. it's a pixel moving on a vector or such from shooting character to shot-at-character.
being able to make cosmetic changes there would be interesting, especially for laser-rifle Sci-fi mods and such.
this is as opposed to the rocket rifle vapour trail, that would be an external animation
