Trouble with setting palette color for dungeon item room...

Bah...I'm one dungeon away from releasing my ZC quest, Spellbound, to the public, but I think I've already hit a snag when setting up my quest. When I was designing dungeons, I was fiddling around with the palette colors for my item room, but it seems to have messed it up...a lot, because the colors don't match the same one as the dungeon passage. How do I reset this?

If you're talking about on the screens themselves, just press SHIFT+1 to see how item rooms and passageways will show up. For overworld caves, press SHIFT+0.

Hmm... Shift+1, you say? I'll try that out now.

*opens ZQuest and tests it*

No...it didn't work. When I pressed Shift+1, the blocks in the palette turned this purplish color. I wanted to restore them to the default colors... 😞 Oh, well. Thanks, anyway.

hmm...
Go to your passageway screen and hit F4.
It should tell you what palette you are using on that screen.
If it says 0-9, use 0-9 on your item room.
If it says A, use Shift+0. B, Shift+1. C, Shift+2. D, Shift+3. And E, Shift+4.
One of those must work.

Shift+1 is the correct palette. If they turned purple, then there's your problem. Go to Palettes->Level Palettes->B and edit the palette there.
