 AW> How do I change the colors of sprites?
 Point the cursor at the sprite in 3D mode, then press .
 It will allow you to enter a value for the sprite's pallette.
 Here are a bunch of the palette values and what they do, numbers
 skipped usually don't have any known effect.  The references to
 clothing is usually referring to a stripper sprite, also those
 are used on pool balls.
  #        Description
  0        Normal color scheme.  Keycards with this palette
           are Blue.

  3        Normal.  This palette can be used on the ceiling to make
           a BIGORBIT parallaxed sky non-lethal, and on the floor &
           ceiling to make a subway engine under a parallaxed sky not
           shoot RPGs at the player.
  4        Black  -Solid black, if you shift all the walls in a room to
           this, you won't get any depth perception.  You can also use
