[:plant:] Official MUGEN Thread

The character needs to be converted with dos2win for the pictures to properly come up.

I downloaded this thing, but how does it work?

According to you, it's supposed to fix portraits like this, right?



But will it also fix the character sprites?



Again, I want to start adding stages, but I want to make it so that all new stages will appear when I use Stage Select, instead of scattered around. I want to make sure each one works.

I've seen that Evangelion link before, but I don't know where to download the program. I hope it'll be easy to move the characters from that program into my MUGEN folder.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Why haven't you tried before asking this questions. Guess it's too late asking that so I might as well provide the answer. Yes it will, just extract the d2w files into the folder with broken character and run the executable, pretty much it.

I don't quite get what you mean. You cannot find dowanload link or you don't know what to do with the downloaded file. Either way, it's in the site's forum and once you get it, run the instaler; later copy the character from the game into your mugen and pray for it to work

Anyway, have you guys noticed a whole bunch of zero-poster coming here (propably just) to request mugen stuff? Cyric, reading your answer made me proud! Respect!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You know, I'm supprised no one's made a Cell that uses his absorbition ability as a Fatality/Destroyer/Fatail KO

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Heh i found this forum searching for that chars in google so my first post is request. Normaly I won't be able to know this forum even exsist...

BTW. I see that you use hi-res filter. EVE screenpack and lifebars no need this filter. In my opinion the best option is DoubleRes = 2 (bilinear filtering). You can change it in mugen.cfg/video win.

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

We have created a monster...='(

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I agree Tokubetsu. :eyebrow:

Most amazing jew boots

Hi I've been wondering if anyone here has a version of Magneto from X-Men: Children of the Atom. You know, the really powerful one that was the boss in that game? If you do have it can you please send it to:

pokeravi@hotmail.com

If not then this is a really hard and stupid favor to ask but can anyone do it for me? You can use this Magneto from X-Men vs. Street Fighter as a base.

getterth.hp.infoseek.co.jp/

The sound files, animations and everything's already there from COTA. But of course since the guy made a version of him from X-Men vs. Street Figter he didn't use the COTA files. But I don't have a clue how to change that stuff to make him like in COTA. However, I've learned how to change his voice from X-Men vs. Street Fighter to the one in COTA, so you don't have to do that. But please if someone could do the animations and moves that he has in COTA I would really appreciate it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't know if you guys noticed my absence the past few days. I think I'm just turned off to MUGEN by the zero-posters here.

FELIPE NO

LOL! Wrong place, GFF is not home for requesting things like that as I assume that none of the actual members is a pro coder when it comes char making. All we have is one little thread. If you really want to, try requesting such an edit on mugenguild.com, you're gonna get flamed though. Yet it's still worth to try.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I have tried. I usually always try before I ask for help.

Just so you know, the thread is meant is primarily meant for people new to MUGEN. The purpose is to help each other out as well as share any characters and such. So please don't lecture so much when most of us are asking for help. I know all too well that if you tinker around without knowing what you're doing, you could end up crashing the whole damn program.

I'm well aware, but that's not up to me or you. Let the mods determine which people are worth keeping around.

On a lighter note, the lifebar you linked too works like a charm, and is a far improvement from the EVE lifebar. The new announcer is a lot better, too.

Also, thanks for helping me finally find a Sol worth keeping. Now if only I could find Dizzy...

How ya doing, buddy?

Click on the 2nd link on the left side, she's all the way down the bottom, and only 45% complete.

I'm not angry at you, mind you, I'm just curious how they attempt to justify this to themselves.

Number two, though, I'm not sure why being published with or without someone's permission is such a bad thing. If you make an original character available for use in a customizable engine, why do you care who gets to use it? As long as it's got your name in the credits, why can't Joe Schmoe have it fight against his Evil Ken? That's the point of MUGEN to begin with.

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

Wooshaq despite what you think about first time posters its how they get started and get what they need to get the ball rolling. I asked cause i need a better ai for the rugal that i want. Still how would it feel being the little guy in the group of giants ehhh.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sup GUYS anyone wanna do some trading... i got lots of characters and can answer some questions well i can try to answer )

well i cant show my roster until i post more so hit me up i'll be on tomorrow...

I was speaking idiomatically.

This is exactly how I feel with all the whining going around with MUGEN creators. Is it not the point for other people to use their works as they see fit? If they're worrying about credability, all they have to do is trademark their name in somewhere (just check out Thor for proof). That's why I can't understand or respect all their decisions to close down their sites and keep people from downloading their characters.

I've asked this several times, but I'll keep asking until I get an answer. I'm trying to figure out how you can determine the order that stages will appear in stage select. I've looked at all the .def files but I can't figure it out. I don't want to add new stages unless I can test them out by rows, instead of cycling the huge list of stages already displayed.

If you're an intended dupe account, this is gold.

If you still don't have a clue, check spoiler below...

Spoiler:

RAR fromat is NOT supported for god sake. Extract what is inside using programs like winrar, than either just place the contents in the right folder or pack it again, only this time zip it instead or raring it.

hehe^_^ wow I got it i was so confused but all I needed was winrar and it all makes sense...man I'm slow. Check out my roster

just an idea of the chaos in my game. The screen pack is nothing cause I'm working on making my own once I find out how ;^_^

FELIPE NO

On that note, I'd like Heihachi (!), Talbain and Ren & Stimpy please.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I third this one, wearhouse drama shutdown makes Mugen harder, rather than less pirated.

Unfortuantely, teh only answer I can give you is that it's effected by how the "Chracter" stages are defined, that being, what stages are attached to the chracters.

For example my select.def looks a bit like...

svcryu, stages/vfgcaptain.def 
super-mario, stages/finaldest.def
songoku, stages/finaldest.def
sailor_mercury, stages/gameosap.def
svcathena, stages/VanityParadise.def
terry, stages/vfgcaptain.def
zerosvc, stages/RM8-FrostmanCity.def
KOS-MOS, stages/metro_dream.def

In this case, "Vfgcaptin" would be stage 1, "Final Destination" Stage 2 and "GameCrown and Osa P" stage 3 on the stage select list, Vanity Paradice Stage 4 and so on.

This, however, can be a pain in the arse if you want a given order to both your level list and your Select screen as it's pritty impossible to have one wihtout the other (especaily if you want your training level to be the first one).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I guess it's more about the work they put in coding the character than the originality of their creations. Funny thing is that nobody really looks at the credits, do you? (there in the chraracter .def file)

As for the stages there is something that is called stage viewer, with this proggie you can view all the stages you have in the mugen directory. But you shouldn't worry, all of them should work. In worst case if you get a message saying the mugen cannot read the stage sprites. If this case you will have to change \ into / in the line starting with spr = stages/stagename.sff. For some reason some authors do that...

in case you don't know there is a place in the select.def where you can add secret stages, one that are not assigned to any character.

Quote:

[ExtraStages]
;Put extra stages here. They will be available in VS and Watch modes.
;For example, you can insert "stages/mybg.def".

stages/kurukuru2.def
stages/NBC-Planetarium-Close-Stage.def
stages/MK3_Temple.def

So if you want to test them, add some there and go to training, pick two chars and when asked to select stages press right direction on gamepad or keyboard. You'll start selecting from the back. Just where they are.

I bet you're gonna be dissapointed with this Heihachi, I had King and Mokujin from the same creator and they had no special mover or AI, were just a dummies.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, more power to them for their effort, but if they wanted recognition of skill, they're in the wrong business. I understand that it took a lot of time to do it, and if they invested a lot into the characters, then it will show. Expecting people not to spread a free, easily imported piece of art --what they consider to be a neat creation-- is some kind of wacky looney tunes logic that I can't identify with.

And I don't really care to look at the credits, no. It's just that people notice repetition, or exception. If they see a certain community bringing a lot of good work to the table, or one exceptional piece of work from an individual, then chances are they'll give the proper attention. Expecting anything else is a bit like asking the world to change to suit your desires. It doesn't help that a lot of these places seem pretty insular to begin with, so when they're done convincing themselves that they're right, they don't bother to listen to the substance of people's complaints.

No, the creators and porters of these characters are not here for our entertainment. They don't have to do anything, and we can't force them, but that's the point. They're doing it of their own volition. And they're doing it as a service. Not an exchange.

I'm not trying to grill you or put you in an uncomfortable position, but I'm sensing that you're closer to the mugen community than a lot of people here, so I think you might be able to give me better answers than most.

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

WooshaQ didn't give any opinion about first time posters, he just stated a "fact" (depending on what you consider alot at least). However there are some other people here who have seemed a bit more disdainful towards newer members.

Well I didn't come here only to request mugen stuff but I did find it by doing a Google search for mugen stuff just like K4thos did. I did some browsing around and found there were some other things I was interested in discussing here like Doujin games which I have a few of that arent listed on the "master thread" and some import games that I am interested in (Bleach DS and Jump Superstars... haven't seen a thread about Bleach Heat the Soul 3 yet though). On top of that it seemed like one of the rare gaming forums with a fairly mature and respectable crowd.

After posting a bit I can say I am rubbed the wrong way by the looking down on of zero-posters by some people on this thread... I'm the head Admin of the largest Magic: The Gathering forum and about a year and a half ago due to some unfortunate events the majority of our users left the site. If alot of people joined our site, even if it's just to post on a specific thread, then I would gladly welcome them to the site and hope they decide to stay for other reasons. Not only that but I've also ran a clan for several years and people come and go, if people stop coming then your going to be in a real tight spot when the other people go (and I've dealt with situations like that).

On the other side of things I can also see why a bunch of n00bs would be unwelcome in a community. There was a point of time that the site I run was so large that it was hard for anyone to stick out and even harder to keep up with anything (though nothing nearly as bad as Gaiaonline). On a smaller basis as a clan leader I've always got to be careful on bringing newer people in and not bringing in too many around the same time or risk alienating the vets of the clan and making them feel out of place even though they were there first. However without those new people eventually the same people will repeat the same conversations over and over just in slightly different ways each time and things will get stale (or people will end up having problems with other people, or life happens, etc.).

I deffinitly can say I feel unwelcome here, however I've been around the net long enough to know that's something that happens when you join a new site and I don't really intend to let it get to me (much ). Though I must say WooshaQ doesn't seem (too ) bad, it's rare you find someone you can reason with online... in your first encounter

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

even though most creators dont like wharehousing its much easier for others that cant or dont have the time to make a character and just want to have fun and play the game. i'll put my roster up to for those who want to save themselves the effort of looking for characters.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've found some characters that come as .dgc files. What program can I use to open this format?

Also....

http://randomselect.i-xcell.com/foru...p?topic=1375.0

Man, I hope he finishes it. We need more guys like this so MUGEN remains awesome.

I like how Death Dealer is the coolest Demitri ever.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm waiting for this one:



As for the file format...

FELIPE NO

I've searched around on places like StreeMugen and Randomselect, but I still can't find a lifebar that fits my taste.

Anyone know of any good sites that specialize in nothing but different Lifebars of shapes, sizes and genre's?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
