I know this, and this was not intended to do anything other than to help me to learn about the way aseprite parses and requires files that already exist in a .pal format. I do not benefit from this being posted here at all - and it's usefulness to others is up for them to decide. I spent time making it to learn more about the software's API .
That said, the one listed in the documentation is not the filetype I intend to work with, nor is it the kind that most people would understand if they wanted to make palettes of their own. This is why I am giving an alternative, because for a while, Aseprite stopped allowing users to save in a .pal format (which is my preferred style, whether or not it is the most efficient or not)
If my palette sucks - don't use it. But I make things for myself whenever I can to learn more about the way they work behind the scenes. Thanks for stopping by though!
