Hello, hello, my quest is very nearly finished, however, I'm having a little trouble with this ring that I really want to put in this game.

 

This has probably been asked before, but how can you make it so the ring doesn't change the cset of EVERYTHING that's in cset 6 while still changing Link's color? I'd be fine if link stayed the same color actually, but I've tried setting the ring cset to 6 and it still messes everything up.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

Also! I'm using ZC 2.53.

You can't... That's the way CSet 6 works, and you should not use that CSet on your screens.

All righty ho I found out that the peril ring can basically do exactly what I want. Thanks anyway!

Yeah, CSet 6 shouldn't be used for things other than Link unless you want that to happen. You can only have 256 colors on-screen at once; that is a hard limitation. So, when you change colors, it changes them all. That's just... how it works.

You can totally make it not change ANY colors though; it uses sprite palettes for what it changes, and you can set in the item editor what to use.

Cool! Very useful information to know! Thank you!

If you just want to change Link's colour but no other colours would be to use Link tile modifiers for the ring items (similar to shields), which offsets the tiles to new ones that are drawn using different colours in the CSet (or done in 8bit mode I guess).
