Yes, if you have a spritesheet with many sprites, you'll have to cut it into many pieces (one sprite per image) and apply the same palette to each sprite.
Then, you have to put each one in the SFF (graphic file for characters) one after the other, aligning them correctly).

Thankyou very much for your help :)
if i just cut a sqaure around them not the figure them selves than turn the out side into an invisible colour would that work to?

Well, technically, you cannot do anything else but cutting the sprites into squres or rectangles.

Afterwards, all around your various sprites, you'll have another color (often, it's pink or green). When you create a palette for your sprites, you'll have to define this particular color as the transparent one.

For example, if you're using photoshop or the gimp, this color would be the last one in the palette. In paintshop pro, however, it is the first one.

If you just want to make an animation to show to people, then photoshop and other programs can handle this by creating a gif.

But for mugen, this is totally unnecessary. All you have to do is insert the sprites in the SFF. Then, you'll handle the animations in game with what called a AIR file, which is a code you write in notepad.

For the sprites do the sizes of the background have to be the same?
or wouldnt that matter because the background colours will be made invisible?

time for you to read some tutorials i think.

There's one in your mugen\docs folder.

There are also some on youtube.

And some at my site (click my sig, narutorials)

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

This may seem weird and i dunno how others feel but things are much easier to understand when there said by you guys rather than reading tutorials
(ive read heaps)
