== SAGA Palette Animation Resource Format ==
Palette Animation resources begin with the following:

ITE_PALANIMATION_HEADER

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width=100%
|- style="background:lightgray"
|Type||Order||Name||Description
|-
|INT16||LE||entry_count||Number of palette rotation entries
|}

The remainder of the palette resource consists of [entry_count] number of the following:

SAGA_PALANIM_ENTRY

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width=100%
|- style="background:lightgray"
|Type||Order||Name||Description
|-
|INT16||LE||pal_index_count||Number of palette indices to follow
|-
|INT16||LE||color_count||Number of color entries to follow
|}

Each SAGA_PALANIM_ENTRY structure is immediately followed by [pal_index_count] number bytes, as such:

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width=100%
|- style="background:lightgray"
|Type||Order||Name||Description
|-
|BYTE||.||pal_index||Palette index [0...255]
|}

Followed by [color_count] number of SAGA_COLOR structures:

SAGA_COLOR

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width=100%
|- style="background:lightgray"
|Type||Order||Name||Description
|-
|BYTE||.||red||Red color component
|-
|BYTE||.||green||Green color component
|-
|BYTE||.||blue||Blue color component
|}

Current notes:

3/9/01:
There may be multiple SAGA_COLOR structures present in any one palette animation resource, so it is expected that each references a specific range of palette indices through which [color_count] colors are rotated.

It appears that [pal_index_count] always equals [color_count], but this requires specific verification.

No entry for speed regulation is present; this is either stored elsewhere, is constant, or is hardcoded.
