I'm working on a monster's skin and I have the Quake 1 palette file (.pal) loaded in PaintShop Pro. But I need more colors to work with than already are in the Quake palette. How can I add new colors?

Yes but can that .tga file contain colors that aren't in the regular Quake palette? The Quake palette only allows 256 colors in the game.
So could I make a Quake texture from a .tga in which there are MORE than 256 colors *and* have Quake display it properly?

The whole idea of allowing external skins is so that they can exceed the Quake palette - otherwise, what would be the point?
Of course, this will only work in engines like Darkplaces, Telejano, TomazQuake, etc.
You can also supply RGBA targas to do translucency, which lets you do smoke effects, etc.
