Quickest way to update the entire palette in Copperlist

[KONEY]

What would be the nicest way to replace the complete palette in copperlist?

Actually I can achieve that by having two copperlist and change them with CopJumpL but I wonder if there are other ways, like having both palettes in copperlist and somehow change the pointers but I have no idea.

may use some help from experts

It depends what you mean.. do you want to change the palette completely at various positions down the screen?

Or do you just want to change one palette?

If I am not misunderstood you, you would like to avoid duplicating the copperlist after the palette setup.
Simply put the jump inside the copper list itself.

Copperlist:
color_setup1
setup_copper_pointer_to_'copper_common'
jmp
color_setup2
copper_common:
copper_end

change at the same time every single color of 32 to a new one and then revert.

Thanks! but sorry, I did not understand What do you mean with "jump" in copperlist?

And how would the switch be triggered?

Thanks, OK! this is what I had in mind with my initial solution.

Only one thing, docs says:

COPJMP1/Restart Copper from address contained in COP1LC .

So copper will restart from COP1LC, not continue. Am I wrong?

Of course depends on how you are handling ramaining part of the copper list, but there are two ways:
1) set the second copper pointer and jump there
2) reset the first copper pointer to the initial address of the list before the end of the frame
