And there's another thing you dont understand about colors either.
Its a fuckton easier to change the colors on an entire sprite, or 3d model skin, by affecting a palette swap even if you're making a new sprite set or skin to complement an existing one (eg "when you have a nastier red colored monster, that also has lightning colored greaves, and its horns have turned black")
> its one reason we really ought to have large size palettes such as 512 colors, 1024 colors
Because if you try to do the various color shifting techniques in Photoshop you're going to end up with bleed-overs and imprecisions and god forbid if you have to do that to 250 individual images.
With a 3d model skin you're going to have to make those changes at a minute level to get it right - make the broad color shifts that you know are safe - but then you're going to have to zoom in and get the lasso tool and fine-tune select all of the areas that you actually want to change the colors on to avoid bleedover into the ones you dont (different shades of flesh/orange, you want the flesh to change, but not the orange, etc).
A fucking disaster as it currently stands and people just roll with it and waste alot of time and effort because there's no other way currently.
> which is critically important in a Hobby, because you've got jobs and kids and beer that needs to be drank, you really dont need to be having to waste time with shit like this and strangling zscript to get it to work - you just want shit to work and get done quick so you can see the results

Another thing is for a GZdoom version of DOTB you shouldnt rely so heavily on Mancubus as the go-to replacement for Ogres.

Mancubus should be a random monster spawner probably dropping a Vore, Death Knight (or Baron), and/or Mancubus.
> someone was working on a death knight render

There is a Vore render out there complete with a working firepod. And also one thing they could do to the Baron as a replacement for death knight, or just to differentiate it from hell knights in general, is to increase its speed and give it MissileMore.
