[:plant:] Official MUGEN Thread

for people having trouble with bgm music heres a little tiny guide by me:

first go to mugen infantry (google it for the correct address) and download the eve battle screenpack, then (do not install it if you dont want) but browse over to the plugins folder and extract the dj-van.dll and put it in your plugins folder of your mugen

now open your mugen.cfg and browse over to (or press ctrl+f ) :

;Wave device to use. Choose from:
; NONE - No wave device
; AUTO - Autodetect
; DX? - DirectSound: replace ? with a the device number (from 0 to 9)
; DXA? - DirectSound with Allegro mixer: replace ? with a the device number (from 0 to 9)
; WAVEOUTA- High-quality wave-out
; WAVEOUTB- Low-quality wave-out
WavDevice = DX0

now change your setting to whats in bold........................


Next , as before change only whats in bold:

;List Winamp-compatible plugins here.
;Specify the filename of the plugin and the list of file types to
;use the plugin for. One plugin per line.
;Example: plugin = plugins/my_plugin.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg
;
;If music is not looping with a particular plugin, you can try an
;optional first argument looptype=1 (seek to zero; may stutter)
;or looptype=1 (reload plugin; slow).
;Example: plugin = looptype=1, plugins/my_plugin.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg
plugin = looptype=2, plugins/DJ-VAN.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg
plugin = looptype=2, plugins/in_vorbis.dll, ogg
plugin = plugins/in_cube.dll, adx

This is a common question among people but heres a little bonus:

open a command prompt window and type :

winmugen.exe -configplugins
to increase the priority of the plugin to highest but since dj-vans is allready fixed you dont have to but something people might want to edit is the "decoder mode " in the decoder tab i've noticed that changing it according to your cpu's instructions it might work better i have an amd sempron so i changed mine to 3dnow!

Extra Bonus : a great alternative for mp3 music is adx which i just currently made the switch a couple of days ago and WOW!!! it doesn't have music crashes i can play for a couple of hours no problem

hcs64.com and download the in_cube.dll plugin (do the same thing as i wrote above for the mp3 plugin above )



If someone wants me to write a guide on how to convert mp3's or wav's to adx with high volume for mugen just send me a msg or reply i'll post the software needed and such ..........

1post WHOA

Jam it back in, in the dark.

anybody have a darkstalker chars collection uploaded somewhere cause im looking for one..................

There's nowhere I can't reach.

make sure your adding the location of the sound file in your stages .def file otherwise it wont play...........

example:

[Music]
bgmusic = C:/Documents and Settings/Compaq_Owner/Desktop/Downloads/Mugen Stuff/BGM/Snk Vs Capcom/adx/09boss.adx
bgvolume = 0

EXTRA:

for the dude that was posting about getting some cool music well heres a site that has craploads of music of almost everygame imaginable........

(put the http crap in front of it)

gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/view-all



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

[Video Win]
;Enter the width and height of the resolution you want to set here.
;The optimal resolution is 320x240, but if your video card has problems
;You may want to try 320x240
Width = 640
Height = 480

;This is the color depth at which to run MUGEN. You should set it to
;16 bit color unless your video card has problems with it.
;16-fastest, 24,32-slower, 8-slowest/worst
Depth = 32

;Set this parameter to 0 to disable screen stretching, and set it to 1 if
;you want to scale it up to fit the current resolution.
Stretch = 1

;Set this parameter to use a resolution-doubling filter. You will
;need a fast machine to use these filters. You will need to increase
;the screen resolution to at least 640x480 for these modes.
;0 - off
;1 - diagonal edge detection
;2 - bilinear filtering
;3 - horizontal scanlines
DoubleRes = 4

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
