Is it possible to place a tile onscreen that uses the Extra Sprite Pallete cset? I have an idea for something I want to do that would require this.

E = Extra
S = Sensory
P = Perception

No wonder I thought you were talking about extra sprite palattes. :laughing: :sly:

I'm really not sure that it's possible at the moment. We should probably make sure that we can use the main palattes of 10-12 first. They're really helpful, moreso than people think.

OK. I did some testing, and yes it does work. You do it by placing the tiles using cset 14 (use a cset2 value to get it this high). Unfortunately, the color doesn't switch to the boss's cset until the screen is fully scrolled in, so if you don't want an odd effect, I would recommend using animated combos (so that the tiles arn't visible right away).
I know this is of very limited use, but it'll let me do something neat with one of my boss enemies.
