Palette Colors

[matalog]

How do you control which palette is used at the time of drawing?

Look at this for example:

 pallettes GNDPAL,1,0,16 'load the color palette
 LOADTILES gndtop,1,325
 
 bgcolor 1,4
 for x=1 to 28
  drawtile 325,x,15
 next
 
 
GNDPAL:

DATAINT $008E,$008E,$008E,$008E,$0EEE,$00E0,$0E00,$0888 '  Pallette: 1
DATAINT $0CCC,$0088,$0808,$0008,$0880,$0080,$0080,$0088


GNDTOP:

DATALONG $00000000 '  Tile: 0
DATALONG $0DDDDDD0
DATALONG $0DDDDDD0
DATALONG $0DDDDDD0
DATALONG $0DDDDDD0
DATALONG $0DDDDDD0
DATALONG $0DDDDDD0
DATALONG $00000000


Why does that not draw tiles with an orange border and dark green inner on a white background? 

If you want to switch palette during a program, how do you do that?

Thanks for any help,

Default is palette 0 , assign palette to tiles with +palette(#).

"drawtile 325+palette(1),x,15"

Ink also controls the palette so an "INK 1" before your draw routine will yield the same effect.

Thanks for replying, I can still not get it to work for me.  Can you see why this does not draw an orange border around a dark green tile?

Simple, you've set Orange as Palette 1 Color 0.

4 palettes, 16 colors each, first entry (color 0) masking/transparent.

Default BGColor (palette 0 color 0) is displayed regardless.

Try commenting out "Palettes pal,0,0,16", set GNDPAL to 0, and remove +palette(1). This should render the BGColor Orange.

The most tricky thing to remember is the first color entry properties. On palette 0, it sets the backdrop color, and on every other palette, it's the transparent color.
