Is the gold flash hard coded?

Just for kicks, I decided to see if I could change the color of the gold flash that occurs when you get the triforce.

But, something odd occured... Even after changing EVERY cset (except for the really long part in levels.. I didn't change all of those) to black, the triforce still flashed gold when I picked it up.

So, is it impossible to change, or is it just tucked away in a palette?

My guess is that it's hardcoded because this was supposed to be a zelda 1 clone, and having the triforce flash gold like that was never intended to be changed.

I just find it odd that even though it's part of the quest, it's not part of the specific palettes..

i think that perhaps there should be a "triforce flash" misc color in the misc color menu that you could easily change yourself...

Original z1 flashwes were white, when you use a tileset other than classic, they seem to be yellow.

EDIT: I think it is in cset 15, which cannot be changed in zquest or Zc, because the interface uses these colors. I'll check this to make sutre.

EDIT2: It's the last 2 colors in cset 15. Can't change it right now.
