This means that the sprite of the Stick will ''look'' brown, but still have the full colormap in its data. Opening the PNG in a sprite editor shows which colors will be used in each variation of the palette. Using an eyedrop tool or color selection mechanic can highlight the index of the brown being used (index 25). Finding the other shades of brown from there gives a point of reference for each row. | This means that the sprite of the Stick will ''look'' brown, but still have the full colormap in its data.

As noted in | As noted in [[Item/Trap Graphics#Sprite Slots]], '''slots 64 - 81''' will always be replaced by the game with status sprites. This means whatever you import into these slots is ''not permanent,'' and the next valid slot is '''82'''. | ||
By default, SkyTemple only shows entries for the existing slots. In order to reach slot, you need to import “blank” sprites. Create a PNG that uses the dungeon item colormap, filled with Palette 0’s blue transparency color. When importing, make sure to have “insert a new entry” option turned '''on''', so slot 63 isn’t replaced. | By default, SkyTemple only shows entries for the existing slots.
