Flybert 1-6-99 Other Notes to Matilda.exe

Supplied is 1Mat.pal a *valid* version of 1.pal

The palette color choise screen in Matilda is not representative of
the .pal file you load , and takes the .pal loaded , and mirrors and 
rotates it's palette index # positions *underneath* the display , yet 
does not actually change any palette index #s. The 1MatPal.bmp shows 
the position of the colors relative to the Matilda palette display for
1Mat.pal and has 1Mat.pal loaded on so in a good paint program , 
you can display the 8-bit palette in it's normal order and orientation.

You'll see a number in parenthesis '(xxx)' next to a 'PALETTE' 
material this is the palette color index# of these *hardcoded* parts
such as the pilot head/shoulders (always 'XXPALETTE[217]) , struts,
guns , and solid fuselage bottoms ...There is sometimes other PALETTE
material listings , such as a second set of struts desinated a 
different solid color(Dr1)... there is usually 2 listings ,
'XXPALETTE[18]' and XXPALETTE[20] .. not sure of thier purpose , but
index #18(red) and #20(yellow) are 'fire' colors and this material may 
appear behind fire graphics on the exterior of the plane.

I was not able to make the PALETTE material 'smooth' shade with the 
color showing (only pure white) , which would be an improvement over 
'FLAT' but I may have done something out of order . Please try to 
enable smooth shading for these PALETTE materials and let me know if 
you are successful ..
