Or gimp shinra and make sure you select indexed mode before you save the file(makes it 8-bit for mugen).

Hey guys, I'm new here.

If you have fighter factory, you can convert your pictures into pcx files.

PCX FILES FOR STAGES AND PORTRAITS THAT ARE 120x140
Open the pallete editor, and open your bitmap image. press the optimize button (The blue button with the triangles at the corners), then save it. Before saving, notice that it is being saved as a pcx files. You can do it this way for making stages or making a 120x140 portrait for a character.

CHARACTER PCX FILES
As for the character, at pallete editor, you can see a bunch of squares at the left and right. If your making pcx files for the character, do this:

1. The white box is where you insert the bitmap files. Press the "Add" Button and load up your bmp files.
2. Check the "Use the same name of images box" (I really reccomend it. Really.)
3. Now press the "Apply pallete on the images" button. When saving, just put a random name, and it'll do the rest.

Notice when adding pcx files for the character, the pcx files are named the same name as the bmp file, rather than that random name you put in (Whatever it was). The only way for these pcx files to display correctly is if you make a pallete for the image.

That's all I have to tell.
