Multiple palettes, Would it be possible? Options

[0warfighter0]

Could there for example be 2 building pallets ? I think not but just asking ...

indeed there are already 2.
you can make buildings in either unittem/unitsno or isotem/isosno. So you can actually use 4 different palettes but tem and sno are for the theater specific image, so you can't use them at the same time on the same map.
Normaly they use unittem/unitsno, but with the key TerrainPalette=true in their art.ini entry, they use isotem/isosno instead.

actually you can even use 3 different palettes.
ActiveAnims on buildings can also be done in anim.pal (e.g. fire ball on the refinery smoke stack)

It's not possible to add more pallets to the game
but there are already 2 building palets per theatre.

you have
unittem.pal (which voxels and temperate buildings with remap use)
isotem.pal (which is used by civilian buildings and terrain object, whom also respond to colored lighting)

unitsno.pal (same as temperate, except for snow)
isosno.pal (same as temperate, except for snow)
