Did you save the sff file as MUGEN 1.1? You need to do that before you add your port.

Here's a step-by-step:
1. Open FF3, open character
2. Sprite > Save As > MUGEN 1.1
3. Replace your characters sff
4. Find the port you want to replace
5. Delete it, use the red X on the sidebar
6. Use the slider to go right to the end of the sprites
7. Add new sprite at 9000,0 or 9000,1 or whatever your replacing, make sure your coords are 0,0 (or whatever is specified)
8. Save project.

ok step by step.

i had exactly the same problem.

-first look at the bottom of fighter factory where it says build or version. you can clikc on that bottom line and then use 1.1

- go to sprites, search the sprite you want to switch

- insert new sprite, when it asks to crop say ''no'' and then click ok, let everything else as it is

-when you try to add a new sprite like 9000,3 go through the sprite section to the last sprite of the char and add a new one.

- when it asks group number etc say 9000 and 3 on the other side and click yes or ok

- do not crop, leave everything else as it is.

click save under project and this should be it

hope i could help u

the most important thing here is to go through the sprite section to the last sprite number which is possibly and THEN add the new one.
i dont know why its like that but i had some problems with that a year ago. maybe ff3 searches for the last sprites first or something.

When adding ports its better to delete a existing port and then add the new one,instead of replacing the old one with the new one via change image

try to change the version number in ff3 at the bottom line BEFORE you open up a new project.
hope this helps

I'm assuming your palettes are locked into one color?

If so, make sure you have this in state 5900 of your chars:

Code:

[State 5900, 3] ;Change palette
type = RemapPal
trigger1 = 1
source = 1,1
dest = 1,palno

Also make sure that pal keymap is in the def.

I' m running into the same problem here... first the portrais appears with strange colors, so I followed the instructions and converted the sff to 1.1
now the problem is the caracters only have one palette and the special/hyper color effects are wrong too
I m trying to incorporate Jmorphaman and Balthazar/Cybaster characters.. only have sucess on Chun-li since her sff is already 1.0 before I change to 1.1

If someone can help or upload a video showing how to do it... Really love the screenpack, its a true masterpiece
