Can't correct you when you never made a statement. ;P Yes, it's quite simple. When you open a characters def file, it should say: pal.defaults = After the equals, you will generally find some numbers. These numbers are in correspondence to the list of palettes further down the def file. THERE NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST FOUR DIFFERENT NUMBERS. That was the problem I was having, when I tried to load a char with only three pal.defaults. Example: pal.defaults = 2,4,6 I changed it to: pal.defaults = 2,4,6,1 All I did was add a one. If you look further down the list in the def file, you'll see a list of "pals" and a number after it. Just use a number from there that isn't being used by the 'pal.defaults' line and you're good to go. Sorry for the long winded explanation.
