I try, this is my greatest addition to the mugen community, the ability to make characters, stages, screenpacks, lifebars, and other various coding things.
I know you've had this video out for a while but its the first time I've seen it. I'm knew with MUGEN and this is just want I needed. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was surprised how well I was able to follow along. I was able to work ahead a bit too and get the big portraits in their slots as well as their names and their Team Names I could probably do the Team Mode Menu as well at this point but I'm holding off on that. The main thing I need is the cursor to show now :) And of course the VS screen but I don't imagine it'll be that difficult. To the next video~!
Yeah! I took all the menu sounds from mortal kombat 4 and announcer sounds from deceptions and put it all in the game. Every screen has the same music and sound from mortal kombat 4. I even made a pretty simple screenpack thanks to you and you can see it if you want. I can beam it to you or send you screenshots. Even took the original mugen intro for mugen and made it mortal kombat themed. :)
Ooooh okay thank you. :) My images have been 24 bitmap images, I didn't know what the image files were supposed to be. XD. Thank you so much. I appreciate you extensive tutorials and your help to the mugen community. You know I made a mortal kombat mugen soundpack.
Good. your best bet is to use a SPRITESHEET, IF available, if it is not available and all of your sprites are single images already. When you add the sprites the 2nd to last option before cropping is palette stuff. select "Force the specified palette (adapt the palette)" hit ok and try that.
You can check out the footage of the screenpack on my channel. Just look up Malcolm Bearden on youtube. I'm sorry I can't just post a link here but it told 'oops remove any web addresses and try again.' :/ The video is called MUGEN MORTAL KOMBAT SCREENPACK!!! The screenshots of everthing are in a link in the video description leading to my blog. Feel free to check it out. If you want I can also send the system and fight .def, .sff, and .snd to your email address if you want to give it. Enjoy!!
Ryon Persaud can you please" tell me how to change are render my background and characters from having that ugly 8bit looking graphic. i have try every video settings in mugen but am still getting the same result, and they are the two lates version 1.0 & 1.1... i have a good DDR3 system with a solid ASUS 4GB graphic card, and running win7.64bit the SNES and SEGA emulator have a way better look on my system.
no if you download the latest Fighter Factory 3 (DO NOT USE ULTIMATE) You can use PNG and skip the entire PCX format thing. and its not just PCX, you need the image to be 256 Color Indexed PNG at least thats what I use and have no problems what so ever. DO NOT USE BMP DO NOT USE PCX
Hello i know this is pretty old but I am trying to make my own Mugen game and i have never done anything like this. Can you show how you made the sprites? What program did you use. Idk how to make them :(
I use a very old application called !draw3 , It was originally made for RPG Maker 95 but I found a better purpose in mugen. Do you know how to draw? cause if you don't , this will not be easy.
Hey there, seems like a great way to start with a screenpack from scratch. But is there a way to customize an already existing screenpack by changing graphics, fonts etc.? Fyi i am runnin WINMUGEN on my mac (through crossover)
yeah you would edit it accordingly the same way, so the point of the tutorial was not making it from scratch, but rather how easy it is to edit and change things. also a shame you can't run mugen 1.1, winmugen is not supported anymore at all.
Oh my god, please help me! I really hope you can read this. If you can't I'll sign up to the mugen forms if I have to. When I deleted all the sprites and palettes and I went to add my own sprites it gave me a warning saying it was going to switch to pre existing palettes. My images came up but they weren't transparent. Still had the blue around them and when I saved over the sff file the images got all funky. Am I doing anything wrong? Please help me out. I really need it right now.
would you be able to help me go through the process of making a custom game? I know it's a forward question but it's an interesting project and I really need some help from an experienced person. you have the most indepth tutorials of most youtube tutorials I watched
i did everything like you but i got "Error message: Missing spr specification in [Files] Error loading system data: data/mugen1/system.def" what'd i do wrong
@@RyonMugen thanks aalso can you make a list of the parts of code i have to delete in the system file?, i have been deleting and puting 0,0 all the sprites i see and it still does not open, i dont know what to do
I'm having a problem. I'm trying to save my creation for Mugen 1.0, but I got a message that said "You can't save this SFF without palettes." How do I fix that?
can u please upload the fighter factory u are using, all link I tried to download are broken(one works but when i want to start FF 3.0 it says missing MSVCR100.dll, so it doesnt work :-/) Thanks
Sorry for the late reply. Yes I can but what kind of intro are you talking about? Intro to mugen, or intro to the character, or a characters intro animation?
I would pay someone to make a screenpack for an original game with original chars/stages. Everything is complete, I just need a custom screenpack created. Can anyone help me ?
Hey dude! I have been watching all your videos lately. I have a problem, since i want the menu screen to look different than the char select screen, i want to edit the normal mugen screenpack, but i cant seem to find the right def file. I have mugen 1.0
+Retlosh It's a bit tricky but you can't really change it to anything good. you gotta replace one of the system fonts. it's either font 1 2 or 3 in the system.def
I know Ristar87, its a FONT ILLUSION. its not done by normal means. And your background color of the images (the parts you dont want to show) have to be a alpha color, most people use a bright green or pink or grey then you gota remove what you dont need.
+Ryon Persaud I figured it out and thx for the tutorial because I learned how to change the font and change the color and now I'm working on a naruto game, I had no experience with mugen at all until your tutorials so thanks a lot :)

you can pause the game by pressing Pause/Break on the keyboard, not a laptop keyboard. As for actually pause menus and command lists, its a bit difficult but its coded character side.

@@RyonMugen Oh.... that's sad.... But THX for the answer.... How do i know if a screenpack would work on winmugen?
you can't edit the version. you either download 1.0 from the elecbyte site, or you look online for the 1.1 beta, I recommend 1.0.

what size should the big character portrait holders be
you mean like intros before the 1st match, and endings at the end of arcade mode? I don't know honestly i can try?
Thanks for the response. So I would have to download a font maker to do that and add the code that way?
nope, there is no simple way.
more than likely. Your image was not a 256 color image, Try converting it again? and use !draw to test it. If it works in !draw it will work in mugen.
So are you saying I should convert the images to pcx format and redownload the .sff file so I can try this again?
thanx ryon. very helpful!
I JUST WANNA KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE TITLE SCREEN
you don't need to really know, if you use paintshop or photoshop, you need to INDEX your image, this will automatically palette them.
did you install the program for windows in the folder called " INSTALL THIS IF YOU HAVE ERROR"
Wonderful! Im glad it helped you!

Did you use MS Paint?
thats windows photo viewer, but I do use ms paint in very minimalistic use.
Can you make a tutorial on character intros and endings, if you can do that?

please help me .....I seem to be having trouble with add the colors of my screen pack to the coloring palette .
thats a vague description of your problem. elaborate?

You're great!!!
Man when I put the system to open the file folder mugen1 not appear at all!
What do I do?
I'm from Brazil , if you can help me thank you
There might not be a mugen1 folder, are you using mugen 1.0? or mugen 1.1? did you download a full game? did you download a screenpack?
And not because I was using the

Thank you good tutorial :)
why don't you cut all if you're not cut it's very longest (1 hour, four minutes,twenty five seconds)

in real time.
how do i change the fonts in the options?

seeing how i suck at visually everything lol, how long would it take to create a screenpack? Because I want to create an updated MK VS SF game.
because you suck at everything it could take about a week or so? maybe?
Ryon Persaud alright thanks lol
you need to use Fighter Factory 3. NOT Fighter Factory, Classic, or Ultimate. you need FF3 Beta 7.
What size to put for the character selection thing, and the name
it totally depends on what you want to do. so there are no proper guidelines on sizes.
+Ryon Persaud I figured it out and thx for the tutorial because I learned how to change the font and change the color and now I'm working on a naruto game, I had no experience with mugen at all until your tutorials so thanks a lot :)
how do you make things trasperent
you need to set a alpha color, and index it. I have a video on how to index sprites. check it out.
dude, why does my system.sff look different from yours? when i load it up in fighter factory, it looks like the old winMUGEN assets.
because your loading up the wrong assets, the correct system.def is located in the mugen1 folder within the data folder.
ah, thanks man, i could have sworn i was opening the right file. nice tutorial btw, it's really helpful
thank you, your welcome!
did you try to reinstall FF, after wards?
Thank you
fighter factory 3 can load the sprite regardless of how you convert it. your doing something wrong.
What Is Program You Use In Video To Record the Screen ?
He uses Camstasia or something like that, they have a free trail for it. It's pretty decent.
What Bintoki said. Camtasia.
