What Are Act Files?

Act files are the color or Palette information used by the Mugen engine to draw sprites with the color setting stored in them. They can be made by Fighter Factory, Fighter Factory Ultimate, MCM, or most image editing programs. Act files can make or break the look of your sprites. For example

Kung Fu Man with his correct palette
Kung Fu Man sprites drawn using his correct palette shown below.

Now on the other hand this is what happens when sprites are drawn using an incorrect palette.

Kung Fu Man sprites drawn using an incorrect palette shown below

How Do I Make an Act File?

The simple way to make one is to the palette editor that came with Fighter Factory because it takes an indexed PCX image and writes an Act file using the Palette from the image.

Most image editors can do something similar and that is make a Pal file, using that and a PALtoACT converter u can make an Act file.
