Palette switching

[/\/\isanThr0p]

Hey everyone
well I made some little thingy that works with 8 bit colors in DX7. Well I finally managed to do some palette switching, now I would like to know how I should edit the pallets to change the colors slowly from one to another...
I hope you get what I want
it can be seen in many winamp visualizations and stuff like that...

PlatteSwitching was a common way to do animation - let the display drivers do all the work for you (sim city 2000 used it)

if you want to fade from one colout to another, just slowly change the 8 bit colour value towards he colour your heading for

remember very palette entry you change, changes ALL the pixels that use that entry.

thanks
well I do know about that.
What I want to do is switch all the palette values so I have a slow fade from one color to another... (will all its modulations...)

Well for a 24bit colour value you got:

&HFFFFFF 'white

and &H000000 'black

if you want to fade between then them in 16 frames

then it would simply be values:

&HFFFFFF
&HEEEEE
&HDDDDD
&HCCCCC
&HBBBBBB
&HAAAAAA
&H999999
&H888888
...
...
&H111111
&H000000

for Red:

FF0000:

to green

0000FF

in three steps then each step is

(red - green) /3

so FF0000 - 0000FF = FEFF01

FEFF01 / 3 = 54FFAB

so the values would be

ff0000 - 54FFAB
= AA0055 - 54FFAB
= 5500AA - 54FFAB
= 0000FF

alright I think I got you
I am using only 8bit, but that should work too
thanks for the help
I am sure to be back for some further questions about that real soon
