Uh, hello, my name is Capnwtf. As of yet, I am nobody, I have not created anything, except for a screenpack that is not available, because it sucks and I lost the Flash drive with it on it.

Now that that's out of the way: I need help.
I'm trying to create a character (Guy) for MUGEN, and every time I put the sprites into fighter factory, the background pink still shows up. Is there any way to correct this, so that I can start on a character? (I DO NOT have Corel PaintShop, Photoshop, etc. but I DO have GIMP)

Many thanks, Capnwtf

Gimp is super easy. If you have reduced the sprite to 256 colours (which you should have done) open the colourmap in gimp. Select and drag the BG colour to the first slot.

In fact, here's a horrible video for you that i made in about 10 minutes

That shows the gimp process. Badly, because i had the window a bit small.

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

Thank you! I truly appreciate it. I'm not under an administrator account right now, so I can't try it, but when I am I'll post the results. :D

uh...yeah....I can't tell if it worked or not because the sprites won't show up now. I just upgraded to FF3. I don't know if this is normal, but how do I fix it?

Turns out it was the version I had of FF3 (I guess I didn't extract the patch correctly?). Anyway, I tested it out, and it works. Thanks Cyanide.
