In header data type: palette path/to/image/with.palette

Obviously change to path to the image that holds the correct colour information.

Okay, Eli, I'll try to explain to you:

You're seeing this because the colors for the character are wrong. In the player's txt file, you need to put this:

palette data/chars/Shimo/icon.png #0
alternatepal data/chars/Shimo/ishi.png #1
alternatepal data/chars/Shimo/imys.png #2
alternatepal data/chars/Shimo/isak.png #3

Where's written "Shimo" is your character folder and "i***.png" are your palette files.
You may also check your character's palette colours to see if there's something wrong.

BTW elisf2, does this character use same palette in all sprites he's using?

Bloodbane man I love your games all except 2 images use same color I looked in my characters folder like kirsu said but there are no files with those names in the folder also checked the player text file and I do not see anything that corsponds with a pallets file if you guys have any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help I hope to make a game as great as ur games one day blood thx for any help guys

IF you look there you will see this:

palette {path}

~This is to set default palette for this entity. ONLY compatible with truecolor mode (see video.txt above)!.
~{path} is the location of the image whose palette will be used as default palette. The {path} is relative to OpenBoR.
~If truecolor mode is set but this command is not declared, the 1st image/frame of the entity will be used instead.
~Usually used in conjunction with 'alternatepal' below. But sometimes it can be used to change default palette entity is using
~If path is set to none, alternate palettes are ignored and allows each frame (see 'frame' in animation data below) to use its own palette
~Useful to create effect libraries without having to design public palette for all of those effects


This is the part that I think you need to see: If truecolor mode is set but this command is not declared, the 1st image/frame of the entity will be used instead.

So you need to look at the 1st image/frame of the entity and see if its palette is the right one for the rest of the frames.

That's my best Guess.

It's hard to tell what's wrong without seeing the sprites and the text
elisf2, can you upload this character somewhere for us to test?
