Palettes won't change during selection

So, I've just about finished up my character, but I've run into a problem. Everything works fine except the palettes. I have 9 made, and all of them cover all the sprites. However, when selecting the character in game, it also selects pal1, and nothing else, regardless of button presses.

Code:
pal1     = pal1.act       ;Black
pal2     = pal2.act       ;Yellow
pal3     = pal3.act       ;Pink
pal4     = pal4.act       ;Orig
pal5     = pal5.act       ;Sky Blue
pal6     = pal6.act       ;Dark Black
pal7     = pal7.act       ;Hulk
pal8     = pal8.act       ;Red
pal9     = pal9.act       ;Black

What am I doing wrong?

This code looks fine. Re-check the naming of the acts and make sure there located in your main character folder and not in a sub folder.

Everything is held within the same folder.

If you are using 1.0 or 1.1, ensure that you do not have a RemapPal active on your code

Are the sprites on the sff file using a shared palette?

Not that I'm aware of. I do notice that if select "Apply the current palette to the selected sprites" it forces the selected palette to always come up. Think that's the issue? If so, how can I fix it?

Also make sure that if your using Fighter Factory 3 that you are Not saving the sff as a Mugen 1.1 file. If so then it might not read from the palette. I would save the SFF as a Mugen beta and see if that fix's the issue.

The .sff is saved as 1.0.

That's where the mistake lies.
Save it as a WinMUGEN SFF instead. That way, the SFF uses pallettes defined by the ACT files.
MUGEN 1.0 SFFs have got pallettes inside the SFF instead, and uses pallettes through the pallette group number and index number.
Pretty handy, if you want the pallette to change in mid-battle, like for when a character transforms into an alternate form (Ryu turning into Evil Ryu in MvC2) or for when your character actually glows (Shadow Lady in MvC has got yellow marks, which glow in constant intervalls, no matter what).

Didn't work either. I really can't figure out what's going on here. When choosing other characters on MUGEN, I get there palate selections, but my character is stuck with whatever I save his spriteset as. I did use "Apply the current palate to the specified sprites" but for each color. Think that that's the problem?

last thing I can think of to check is to open up your character in the original Fighter Factory and see if the shared palette box is checked for all of your sprites.

Yep, it's checked on all of them, and the problem persists.

I'm not going to look at it :)  I haven't worked on palettes yet.

But I suggest you should post a d/l link for your WIP, and maybe someone will glance at it and see what the issue is.

I've kind of fixed the problem, in that you can now select pals 1 and 2, but the rest don't work or crash the game. Still need some help.

Well, good news, actually. I won't need to post the Wip, as it turns out the whole problem was on FF3's side. I corrected the problem by completely redoing the palates in FFU. Thanks to everyone who gave their suggestions, though.

(FF3 had broken some of the sprites, so only PAL1 would work at all)

Hi everyone. I know this post is old but in case someone has the same problem and is looking for the solution I wanted to say that it worked for me by adding the 0,0 sprite. Maybe someone will use this information in the future. Greetings.

i learned if you do enough changes to a pallete, and convert from old to 1.1, fighter factory can REALLY mess up the PAL's big time. It corrupted some of my PAL's for good, and a rebuild was necessary, or it wouldnt even show the PAL anymore but everything was still in tact, and other weird shenanigans. ff is pretty buggy, studio is worse with weird behaviors.
