Code was moved around between 3.8.0 and 19.0.0 which broke the colored backgrounds of paletted HUD gauges. Palette index 15 is used by the HUD gauge graphics to indicate background area of HUD gauges. When the code to remap palette indexes to alpha values was moved to packunpack.cpp, palette index 15 was mistakenly mapped to the alpha for index 0 (nothing) rather than index 1 (what retail/3.8.0 code maps it to) causing all HUD gauges to be missing their dark transparent backgrounds. Also: the code maps palette indexes [0, 15] to alpha values [0, 255]. But due to an oversight (palette index 15 not being part of this gradient] alpha value 255 is never used so the range of alpha values for HUD gauges ended up being [0, 238]. Conversion math tweaked to make the alpha range [0, 252] which is very close to 255.
