<h4>How to add a Template Collection to a Game Database</h4>
<p>Use the helper batch file <a href="mkpdbRef.htm">mkpdb.bat</a> to insert a
new Template Collection (.tc) into Game Database (.pdb). mkpdb invokes a number
of tools to produce an 8-bit palette from the Template Collection and reduce the
Templates to 8-bit before adding them to the Game Database.</p>
<p class="labelproc">To add a Template Collection into a Game Database:</p>
<p class="commandline">mkpdb -pdb &lt;database&gt; -tc &lt;template collection&gt; -size &lt;16
| 24&gt;</p>
<p class="labelproc">Example:</p>
<p class="commandline">mkpdb -pdb htdata816.pdb -tc grassy.tc -size 16</p>
