Making new added sprites compatible with all other sprites in the sff

[shinra358]

How do you add a sprite with the same color values and color positions as the rest of the sprites in the sff? In other words, how do you make the palette of the new sprite match the palettes of the sprites that are already in the sff?

apply the char pallete to the sprite.

what you want to add to which char.

Nothing specific really. i just realized that i didnt know how to do that correctly.

apply the char pallete to the sprite >>> how would i go about doing that? cuz i remember once when i just tried to insert then that particular thing i added didnt have the same colors as the rest of the char sprites ingame.

What I awlays do when making a character is build off of a previous sprite, working with 256 colr bitmap. Meaning, I create my new sprite in the same file as a previous sprite then save it as a separate file when done. That ensures they run off of the same palette.

Barring that, there is also a cleaning tool in fighter factory. You could run the new sprites through it using the palette from the character, to see if it will clean it correctly and make it run off the palette.

Finally, if the sprites are the same palette, but for some reason the new sprites aren't changing colors appropriatley in Mugen,it may be that the new sprites aren't set to shared palette. To do that, open fighter factory and scroll to the new sprites. If the box on those sprites entitled "shared palette" in unclicked, click it and save the .sff.

Usually to add a color to a character that's not in the palette, what I do is open the palette editor and add the values of the color in the blank spot. I then save the palette, and then clean the sprites.

ok. i half way follow ya. if you have the time, would you mind making a video on youtube that shows you adding a new sprite to the sff? that way i can save it and then use it as a guideline when im not in the library...
