I have some question regarding the pallete of sprite.
I have tons of png sprites but they are transparent.
I mean, their background is no color, really transparent.
Is there a way to make a pallete with that kind of sprites?
Or,
manually coloring up their background?

iirc complete transparency (doesn't show) is generally on an unpaletted sprite and it'll convert to white/black depending on program. Niether of those are particularly good colours so you may be better served to index them, then recolour and then recolour any bits that get caught up in the transparency settings.


In M.U.G.E.N there is no magic button

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

i think that's pretty cool.
but is there a tool to make pallete from tons and how can i do it?
but i think i just do it manually.

Photoshop has scripting. PSPX has it as well. I use a tool for psp7 called imagerobot which lets me do limited scripting. FF classic would allow you to palette sprites using an almost gui version of pcxclean. So you could do 2 sets. However setting up the removal of "white" or whatever from the character sprites themselves is going to be manual. It's similar to palette seperation.
