[SOLVED] DRAWTILES but choose which palette to use?

[Deleted]

I feel this should be an easy question. I've searched the forum and found nothing though. How do you choose which palette DRAWTILES uses? I have graphic assets that always end up having more than 15 colors. I'd like to, say, have half the graphics on-screen use palette 2 while the other uses tiles with palette 3. How is this done? There doesn't seem to be a parameter in the DRAWTILE(S) commands to specify which palette to use.

I think I found a lead in another topic from elusive:

Put +palette(1) after the memory location in your draw tiles command. Or load your palette on slot 0.

The DRAWTILES command seems to have several memory location related parameters. How does this work in practice?

Like this ..

	drawtiles map,palette(0),0,0,4,1 'Draw map using palette 0
	drawtiles map,palette(1),0,1,4,1 'Draw map using palette 1
	drawtiles map,palette(2),0,2,4,1 'Draw map using palette 2
	drawtiles map,palette(3),0,3,4,1 'Draw map using palette 3
	
map:
	data 1,2,1,2

Thank you very much Titan! That's exactly the explanation I needed.

How would one choose which palette is used in this scenario? Thanks!

          Reload menumap
     For Y = 0 To 27
          For X = 0 To 39
               ReadInt AuxInt
               DrawTile 128+AuxInt, X, Y
          Next
     Next

Never mind figured it out. Like so

          Reload menumap
     For Y = 0 To 27
          For X = 0 To 39
               ReadInt AuxInt
                    DrawTile 128+palette(1)+AuxInt, X, Y 'new
'                   DrawTile 128+AuxInt, X, Y 'old
          Next
     Next

The only thing I could add is choose to use either PRINT commands or go all DRAWTILE to put text on the screen. The INK and PRINT eventually end up running against your DRAWTILE'ed text, text priority and palette. Chose one [ method ] my son!

I am really new into basiegaxorz, also this is my first post here to get some help/advice.

I am posting here, because there is some similarite to my doubt.

I am using a drawtile command to draw one image on the screen, but I wanna add some text over the image, the I use the

locate 10,10: ink 1: print "my text"

and when I use the ink command, the palette of the image gets the color of the ink command, and everything gets fuzzy.

Anyone knows what am I doing wrong?

Need return default pal.

while 1
ink 0'-default
DRAWTILESINC 128,14,14,4,4

ink 1
locate 1,1: print "The space base"

ink 0'<-Return

wend
