1. Open obj_ncg1.dat and obj_ncl1.dat in HxD, go to the end of the obj_ncg1.dat and take note of the offset, in this case, it is 2B90B8.
   
2. In the obj_ncl1.dat file, go to the first offset (Press Ctrl + G and put the first offset - 000004B8), select and copy everything bellow.
   
3. Go back to obj_ncg1.dat and paste, a confirmation window will pop up and press Ok.
   
4. Go to File > Save as... and save with any name you want.
   
5. Open the new file on Tile Molester and do the same steps as before.
   
6. In the Palette step, you'll need to put the old file size as the offset - 2B90B8. The rest is the same.
   
7. Where the colors are shown, there is a box with a 1 inside, change it to 32. This is because the size of each palette is 32 bytes.
   
8. Now for every offset from obj_ncg1.dat, you just need to hit the > to load the correct palette, and it seems that in this file, you'll need to do some rearrangement in some sprites.
   

For the other files, I'll have to look into it.

I followed the steps, by rearrangement do you mean the palette colors need to be rearranged? Because I do have the correct dodo palette but it's reversed (I'm looking off Smithy's rip to double check I got this right since this sprite is not easy to find ingame)

Here the palette is the same as Smithy's rip.



When I say rearrange, I mean the sprites. Look at the dodo's tail, you'll need to fix this manually.

I tried to replicate the error you described reinstalling HxD, using other hex editors, using a clean Tile Molester but everything was ok. So, reviewing my instructions, maybe I expressed myself wrong on the 2nd step.

When you're copying the palette data from obj_ncl1.dat, did you started selecting from 04B8? The first 4 bytes of the selected data are 94 52 C6 18? The way I phrased could be interpreted as pressing down one time or skipping the first palette and then start copying.

If everything is ok, the size of the new file is 2BB4F8, and the palette is still scrambled, upload the new file.

So close yet so far.

I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong. Every pallette I flip to has black on it.
I attached the file. I think I'm missing some step because this is so close yet so far, haha

I finally found the problem, it's the palette size. You're using 15 instead of 16, that's why the last color is always black. Go to Palette > Size... and change to 16, if the color doesn't load immediately, click the smaller arrows.
