> ok, i finally figured out myself. i found something out you might be interested in: the xcc mixer 1.19 does not handle shp file entries of type 1 properly. the first 16 bytes of image data (i assume you just skip them) are a redirection table into the original palette (some sort of indirect palette or call it whatever you want to). hope this helps

Thanks, I think this will be useful. But which 16 of the original colors are remapped in this way?
And about the formats, you can find out more about them via the XCC source code.
