So you did an sff swap?

Is your .air file correct? Do you have a .air file.

In fact, what files DO you have, and what's inside your .def file

[alum]

this is what my def file says:
[Info]
name="Jade"
displayname="Jade"
versiondate=First
author="Alum"
pal.defaults=1
mugenversion=14,04,2002
[Files]
sprite=jade.sff
sound=
anim=jade.air
cmd=jade.cmd
cns     =jade.cns
st      =jade.cns
stcommon=jade.cns
pal1=1.act
[Arcade]
intro.storyboard=
ending.storyboard=
i also fixed some of the animation like there stance, walking and yes i have a air file and heres how i swamped it
i just switched sprites

[Cyanide]

stcommon=jade.cns

No. stcommon = common1.cns

As for the dissappearing. Check your .air file has some stuff in it If nothing else, take KFM's and copy it.

And remember a frame time of 0 gives you an invisible sprite.

[alum]

Now i can move around but still, i cant see sprites, man, what could be wrong, i looked at the animation, opened up mugen and i see my stance time like when i have the text thing on when u dl mugen.

There are limited reasons for sprites not showing up

1 Your sprites are numbered incorrectly.
2 your sprites are formatted incorrectly
3 you have given the incorrect numbers in the .air file
4 you have not used the correct animation.

5 and i'm going out on a limb with this one. You've created an alternate state 0 and mugen is using that. And it can't find the sprites for it.

[alum]

hmm.. i think its just the format, how do i do this

[Cybaster]

Convert your sprites to pcx with the gimp, photoshop or paintshop pro and give them a palette.

[alum]

:/ i did convert my sprites and i do have a pallete.... i used a image converter but let me see if gimp makes a change
Edit: Well i tryed but didnt change a thing
ok this is starting to piss me off. lol

[Byakko]

Post your sprite. The pcx one I mean.

[alum]

heres one of the stance pcx: http://www.mediafire.com/?fma9tmd1epg

[Byakko]

It doesn't have a palette, it's not in 256 colors. Color, decrease color depth (or find the quivalent depending on the image editing software you're using) => 256 colors (8 bit)

[alum]

u mean the act file? because i got that or is it the pcx file that also needs a pallete. i didnt know about the pcx having its own pallete

[ssjsongoku]

You have to apply the palette (act file) to the pcx sprite.
For example, if you are using photoshop, you would have to open the .pcx sprite then go to image -> mode -> index color.
Then select 'custom' and load the palette you made. Edit the color 0, and apply it.
Photoshop isn't the best way to do this though, because you'll have to repeat this process with every single sprite.
After you do this to the sprite it should have no problems appearing in mugen.

[alum]

:/ looks like i got to dl photo shop and its gonna be a long way

[ssjsongoku]

Well, no, other programs can do it too. I'm pretty sure gimp and paintshop pro can. And probably irfanview in which case it would be the best to use.

[alum]

ill just do photoshop since already at 84 percent 85 ect. but i do have patiants but its gonna be gay if it dont show up lol.

Get yourself Irfanview. Its free, not an illegal crack version and really easy.
