Hidden Custom palette for characters (?)

[Crimsondeath]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to add hidden color palettes for some players characters, but the problem is that their palettes show up as selectable palettes on the character selection screen . I'm not sure if it's possible to add hidden color alternate palettes?

Besides, I have a question: what is the difference between "alternatepal" and "remap"? x'd

As for remap, this is all you need to know:

Welcome to the community @VirtusVerbis. Allow me to iterate the steps for using remap:

1. Don't.
2. Stop it.
3. Forget it.

Seriously. Remap is an archaic legacy command you should never, ever touch. It is absolutely pointless except in a couple of extremely edge cases and only exists for backward compatibility.

To keep alternate palettes hidden from the character selection screen in OpenBOR, you need to use specific naming conventions or scripting definitions rather than standard list entries. Have you checked the latest documentation on how alternate palettes are indexed in the character configuration file?
