Title: mini portrait help
Post by: ynn3k on August 21, 2007, 06:55:34 PM
im racking my brains on this one...
i want to change a mini portrait for jimmylee... i but theres issues it won't show up when i start mugen. i think it has somthing to do with the colors or palletes. i dont want it to change colors either... i'd like for it to stay the same color no matter which palette i choose.

anyway i'd like help to change from this (http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/12/1342047/jimoriginal.png) to this...(http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/12/1342047/jimmy2minip.PNG)

You need to set it up with 256 colors in photoshop or Paint shop pro.

But you need to make sure the miniportrait has the same colors as The character, or else it'll come out looking distorted in MUGEN.

It'll show up if it's set to 256 colors wether or not the colors are the same. But in MUGEN the icon on the lifebar will come out distorted because The character does not have those colors. so I would recolor the mini portrait with colors of Jimmy's sprites.

not neccesary, the portraits can have a separte color pallete, so if you want that pink shown as a background in mugen and interpreted as transparent, you should change the pallete in PSP. the fisrt color must be the pink in order to mugen to interprete the trasnparency otherwise it tooks the black and a very important thing. when you're importing you 256-color pcx image uncheck de option shared pallete
