> 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

What check do you use to determine if the offset list has 16-bit or 32-bit entries?
