This bug sucks.  It sucks a lot.  I am sorry, but it means your computer will have total and complete hard-drive failure in about 24 hours.


I'm just kidding!!!     


Seriouslly, it's a palette problem.  Your mugen is currently set to select whatever palette the .def file says it should, in the order it says it should.  However, some creators specify a first choice of palette that doesn't exist.  Those silly gooses!  That leaves you with one of two ways to fix this problem.  The easy way and the hard way.


Hard way:  manually open up every single character's .def file (ignoring the ending/intro.defs) and make sure that it specifies the default palette with a line like this:
pal.defaults =1,2

if it doesn't say something like that, type it in.


Easy way:

Open up mugen.cfg in the data folder and look for this line.

 ;Set to 0 for computer to choose color 1 if possible.
 ;Set to 1 for computer to randomly choose a color.
AI.RandomColor = 0

See how it says AI.RandomColor = 0?  Make that say AI.RandomColor = 1
It's that easy. 

The trade-off is that in story mode the computer will often pick funky colors for characters like pink venoms, yellow pyros, blue ironmans, orange stars and purple horseshoes.... or whatever weird extra palettes the creator included.  Still... no more assert failure!
