Hello, folks. I'm having a bit of a problem and this looks like the place to be. Here's my issue:

I'm trying to modify the amazon torso, only the "without armor" sequence. I think I've found the right dcc file, but when I extract all the frames with Cv5, the torso is blue. As you all know, in the game it's red.

How do I get the right palette and do I have the right tool? I'm eventually going to have to put this stuff back to see the changes.

Maybe someone who has done this could simply outline the procedure or point me to a document that would help. I've looked at the tutorials here, and while a lot of them are useful, none seem to cover this specific problem.

Thanks for any help.

By the way, I see some of you are converting some original Diablo cl2 files for this game. Anyone consider doing the succubi? They're much cooler than the lame succubi in the LOD upgrade. Big disappointment for me.

there is a big fat button called "pallete" on the cv5 interface lol, unselect the diablo II check box and it will save it as red or load a specific d2 pallete.

You actually call LoD an upgrade???

Haha. Unchecking the "use diablo palette" on the "big fat button" does nothing. I've already tried that. It still comes out blue.

Although I'm editting Diablo2 stuff for the first time, I'm not an idiot.

Surely someone here knows how to do this. Please step forward?

I think you might have to either download some D2 palette from the site, or actually load it (Load Palette). I did both just to be sure and finally the colors were as they should be.

Do you know where you got the palettes? I downloaded the ones from here but nothing works. All I can get is blue everything.

I do remember hearing a while back that one of the players used hardcoded palshifts just to get their natural color!

If you've selected the "static" pallete, and viewing (before export) in Cv5 shows them as blue, they almost certainly ARE blue, and are turned red by the game during play.

Here is how to fix that problem

Do what they said before... Select d2 pallet.


After that hit the big 'View' button. It refreshes your view. I know it took me a few minutes to realize this one too.

Okay... damnit this took long enough solve. I'm putting this here in case anyone else has the same problem.

There is an updated version of dvdcc.dll that fixes the palette bug. Get it at:

Don't bother going through all the crap I did with saving, inverting and loading palettes before you get the file.
