some (maybe big) palete problem...

well, I create my char without know that i should have used one palete only for him. I was justing puting more frames/objects/specials/efects/etc and creating a new palete for they. in the end my char has only one color. (hum... maybe i could have explained this with less words, hahaha)

so, what is the sugestion of the fastest or easiest way (if there is one) to solve this? to make him have only one palete, so i can make to him later diferent colors and stuff?

in other words: how i make other colors to my charachter since i made him utilizing lots of diferent palets for his moves?

Create your pallete with all the colours in it, apply it to all your sprites. Best way would be via batch conversion. Extract your sff with FF's sff extraction process. Batch apply your pallete, then remount the sff.

e aí cyanide. hahaha

sorry to bother you men, but, even if I allready did a char, i don't know how to "create a pallete with all the colours" and "apply it to all your sprites" and to "Batch apply your pallete, then remount the sff".

so, could you tellme how to do it or, if the explanation would be to long to you then tellme just the first step and, when i finish that step in the other day or so, then you tellme the second step and stuff.

obs.: and you know now the char that i made, the "bebum ryo" or you dont know (or dont care since, maybe, you are kind of tired of mugen? hahaha)

Don't care, i barely ever look at releases.

In order to create a pallete with all the colours on. Make a big picture containing lots and lots of the images from your sff. Once you think the big picture contains all the colours create a pallete using the normal method. Save this file. Convert it into an act file. This can be done by loading your picture, with it's new pallete correctly set up into FF and opening tools>pallete edit. Save your new pallete as a .act.

Still in fighter factory export your images. Sprites>export sprites. Use the fighter maker format. This will give you a large number of .pcx files already cropped and another file that tells fighter factory where to put them when you remount them.

Using the pallete edit program from before click the "add" button on the left and add ALL the images that you just exported. Make sure your .act file is loaded on the right.

Then click "Apply the pallete on the images" Overwrite your old images.

Sprites>mount .sff and pick up the FFD file you saved when you were exporting them. They'll now be added in again, at their previous axis with all the numbers and shit correct.

I suggest VERY strongly that you back your current sff up before you do any of this.
