Hey @Pokefan6498, welcome to the Tiled forum! I’ve moved your question to its own topic, so that we don’t revive a 5 year old topic that seems only slightly related.

What does this data look like? In general, there is the option to implement custom map loaders in [JavaScript](https://www.mapeditor.org/docs/scripting/index.html), which can also load custom image formats. A custom loader could read in the relevant .PAL file and use the [Image API](https://www.mapeditor.org/docs/scripting/classes/image.html), which supports palettes through “setColor” and “setColorTable”. The created image can then passed to the [loadFromImage](https://www.mapeditor.org/docs/scripting/classes/tileset.html#loadfromimage) function of a Tileset.
