mugen keeps crashing

[fredgerd]

With greater and greater frequency my mugen has been crashing with the message "assert  failure in charsel.c line 3162". I don't really speak the lingo, could somebody help me out.

[El Chupacabras]

Mugen crashes and an error message appears-

Assert failure in charsel.c line 3162

Causes: When you have your mugen.cfg, under [Arcade], AI.RandomColor = 0 and a character's .def [Info] pal.defaults are not set correctly. In other words, in the character's [file].def there must be a defined pal.defaults = valid_pal_number

Solution:
1. Go through your char's .def, and ensure that there is a line under [Info] >> pal.defaults = 1. The "1" tells it to use pal1 as the highest priority default. But to fix this error message you need at least have one default pal.

2. Change the mugen.cfg, under [Arcade], AI.RandomColor = 1. This will make the computer select a random valid color from the pal(x) pool of pals in the [File].def.

thanks, I'm still trying to wrap my small little mind around that but I should have it figured out after I stare at it for a little while.  You code fluent people are amazing.
