SAGA/Datafiles/Palette Animation

SAGA Palette Animation Resource Format

Palette Animation resources begin with the following:

ITE_PALANIMATION_HEADER

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

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:

Type	Order	Name	Description
BYTE	.	pal_index	Palette index [0...255]

Followed by [color_count] number of SAGA_COLOR structures:

SAGA_COLOR

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.
