KOF XIII sprites ripping palette problem...

[Kharaxel]

Okay guys, thanks for your input.
I haven't replied until now, because I wanted to report with some positive results... but it didn't work.
Nothing I tried gave me the palette.

Yes. I did open to png file as a palette, changed various settings... I looked for days. Nope, nothing.

I suspect it's because the palette is literally a .png image file.
Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Here are two files. One of them contains the sprites, the other is the .png palette file.
The settings in tiledggd for the sprites are:
Panel Size: 256x[Doesn't matter what value]
Format: 8 Bits/pixel
Mode: Linear
Endianness: Big Endian

I hoep that someone who's smarter than me can figure this one out. Or at least point out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks.
