Hello all,
So, I was looking to replace some monsters sprites with those from other games that matched the graphical sophistication of FF6, and even if I recolored them with the ROM's existing palettes for each specific monsters(using same sprite) listed in FF3SE, the sprite's colors become mismatched and any change results in problems on the correct sprite/palette pair. I was wondering if any of you may know of a way to avoid this?

personally u should do what I did, and make a personal archive of which monster uses which sprite, u need to understand that when editing monster and esper palettes u have to use "every other palette" this is because the next monster using the next palette will be affected
for example the narshe guard uses pal 0 so lets say u edit pal 0 with a new monster, other monsters using pal 0 or even pal 1 will be affected, but pal 2 n the rest are ok
so lets say we have a monster that uses 3 different palettes and they are 30, 80, and 222
so that would mean 29, and 31 will be affected if u edit palette 30
that also means 79 and 81 as well as 221 and 223 will be changed if the respected palette in between them are edited
so lets go at it this way
u edit pal 30 4 the new monster awesome since it normally uses 80 and 222 u can customize those 2 palettes so that u have alt monsters
be warned that some monsters do share the same palette (do not overlook the espers either) so its important to always check
I hope this info helps u out

I don't want to change the palettes at all, I want to insert new monsters using the same palettes.

thats not gonna work
I'll tell u that right now
the only thing that MIGHT work and it all depends on how many monsters you insert in the game is to use the unused palettes and I have no idea how many are originally unused so good luck with all that

that can work but it will take a VERY long time if attempted but its all about how much work you are willing to put in at the end of the day
