I made a Hammer Kirby character and no a single of the sprites show up.
all the commands work and it can attack, but he's invisibe.
I've been having this problem for almost a year now and nobody has been able to help me.
one sprite is messy and white. The attack works 100%, at the walkign animation 1 or 2 sprites don't show up, and all the other sprites have no transperancy.

when I click Sprites >> Convert All to 256 colors, they show up, but all messy and wierd-o.

character works, and is finished 85%. Projectile shot needs work.

ATTACK:
> walk Right
< walk Left
^ Jump
V Crouch
Z Hammer Smash
V+>+Z Star Projectile Shot

Well, you obviously need to set your pallete up properly.

There's heaps of tutorials about this and most of us hate going over it, over and over again.

Try youtube, there's some stuff there. There's also the tutorial in mugen itself

I've got one on my webpage, and there's another in our tips and tutorials section.

Yes it's a little fiddly but keep trying. Once you know it, you won't need to learn any more about it.

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

I don't think my palette is the problem.

If you're using fighter factory to convert your sprites to 256 colors and pcx, stop it, it's not reliable.

Use photoshop or another REAL graphical program. Do it for some sprites (stance only for example) and tell us if it's better.

yeah... I kinda screwed up trying to fix it just now...
and I accidentally saved it, so now it's even worse than it was.

but now I tried making a new, better character; Chiyo.
I used the same tutorial (Ultimate MUGEN tutorial by Uroz) and now my sprites don't show up at all, AND the character doesn't respond to my actions. (yes, I double-checked the Commands/Constants)

I tried, now it gives me an error saying "error loading chars/ffchartest/ffcharset.def" ...

ok so... I fixed the FFChartest problem.

now, I used Fighter Factory to convert all the sprites to 256 colors in oder to let them appear... all messed up, but they appear.
now I have came to the discovery that if you press Z/L once, the character repeats the action over and over again untill you button bash on another move(X/W).

now obviously something is wrong wih the coding, but I used the Elecbyte Player template and haven't touched any coding/commands since. ???

(256 color sprites are now back to normal again)

You shouldn't have used the template. It means you don't really know what you're working with.

in your def. stcommon = SHOULD read
stcommon = common1.cns

if it doesn't, change it.
