(In progress) Will finish later lol
So you'd like to try IKEMEN out would you? It's too complicated you say? No benefits to using it? Pulling your hair out trying to get it working? It's really not at all as difficult as it seems, though it may take a bit getting used to. Alright shall we get started? First we need to download the engine first right?

A quick google search will bring you here.. https://code.google.com/p/ikemen/downloads/list as you can see the last build was made "2013" This is a misconception here is the true wiki. https://osdn.jp/users/supersuehiro/pf/ikemen/wiki/FrontPage Here you'll find the newest 2015 build as well as the author's change-log(In Japanese though :/) Though he still visits this page(rarely) you can see updates made.(They have since moved to a new forum/wiki)

Let's take an in depth look.. When you first open your zip the main files you should see are as listed "I will go over each vaguely, enough to give you an idea of what it does"

"Data" This one should be familiar.. This is where you will place your life-bar files as per usual
"Replay" Whenever you play an online match IKEMEN will automatically record each fight so no need to record before hand :)
"Script" Here is where we will do most of our work. Within this folder lies the "main.lua", "select.lua", and your "system.sff"(More details later)
"Sound" Works exactly the same as before. Where you put all your music for stages.
"Stages" Same as above. You'll put your stages here.
"SSZ" This is where you can edit most of everything within the engine it self. Here you'll find the "config.ssz" which is essentially the true "options"

Go ahead and post it. I'm sure there are those that would be. You are welcome to do whatever you please. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me personally via pm. I'd be happy to help.

This light source code is really fun to use, although I need to get it working in combination with tatsu's code.

Alright so It's finally time I get around to it. I'm more so asking for someone else with better creative expertise to help us come up with a concept idea for what I have now deemed "Capcom Vs. Snk Universe". Generic yes, but if anyone has any better ideas I'd like to discuss them haha.

TheFclass97 has done much more in terms of editing the screenpack so I'd advise looking at their game for reference. As it covers much of what you need in the files. You can also pretty much just copy & paste code apparently. So in short it's not as complicated as we first thought.

Just trying to put some ideas on the table & so you can get a general idea of what is possible. Also hope to possibly inspire others to use this engine in it's greatness. Even if you don't use either of our projects we both in our own ways have expanded upon ikemen in general. A great deal of work has gone into both our works. Be sure to check out the projects in this thread though & if anyone hopes to start using this themselves feel free to ask any questions etc. One by one I've been eliminating issues we once thought were unavoidable. Screenpack & portrait makers this is where I need your help! lol

So damn, it's like that? You could just idk, ask for the help of a screenpack rather than "copy paste." When I said that, I meant that the codes I put and did myself on the ikemen engine could work for future builds, and what I did was "copy and paste" some of the codes from my revival project screenpack to see if it was compatible (as well as the sprites cause you can't have a screenpack without sprites)... and it was. If you wanted, I could assist you in a screenpack and even other stuff (since I also do balancing/editing on chars and stuff like that)...

However, I do agree on expanding Ikemen's engine, since I myself thought stuff was impossible, and I never even knew jack shit on anything (I taught myself everything)... It's just a engine with tons of exploration in it, you just gotta work with it...

I'm just saying, I did a little bit more than just "editing" screenpacks, since I kinda made them (although with some done assets of some of the sprites of course).

Let me ask you a few things Shinrei.. Is the IKEMAN pretty much like mugen 1.0 and only uses pcx sprites
or are png sprites compatible like in 1.1??
I ask this because have mad skills  :sunny: in the SP/Portrait department lol
Is the coding part any different from coding a screenpack in mugen??
I'll send you a beta of my WIP SP later today via PM once I upload a copy for you here are a few videos the videos are old but makes a point.
Like I mentioned to you over in Youtube I planned on converting my SP into a full game with characters that have the pots style and new art for the select/VS/Victory/ and Continue Screen. Enough talk.

Ikemen is a winmugen mod with the ability to use 1.0 and 1.1 assets. Also, PNG, BMP and PCX are usable.

That is what I was referring to... The code. You should have read that thoroughly. Doesn't mean that was "all" you did simply meant you went the extra mile with in. That was all in a positive context.

So here is some progress.. Really been looking into "modes". Just been experimenting. Each mode has it's individual bgm which is cool. I've also made some minor adjustments to tatsu's tag system. Oh yeah, I must mention online tag is 1000% working no more debug keys. You can get a small taste of the roster which isn't final, but I'm content with it at the moment.

So I'm finally ready to start making a screen-pack for this. Main menu, Select screen, Network Mode screen etc, etc. Message me "ONLY" if you are serious & would like to help.

Not bad I suppose...I see that you've kinda cleaned up the look in a few spots. Also, as for the suggestions part, I was messing with a few things on varo_hades birdie (which I have seen in the select) and if you want, I can pm you what I did and maybe show a vid on what exactly I did messing with him, see if you're interested in it...

Dude you got brains or something because that's a great idea!
We def need to have a test session.  Trying to make everyone viable rather it be increasing their speed, startup, etc. I've been learning a lot as well so a lot of my older stuff have seen a lot of improvements.  Also guys.. How cool would it be to have... Tag-Team Supers? Exclusive.. Capcom Vs. Snk Universe... Let's go! LOL

Let me tell ya. Making a screenpack has been that last thing on my mind, but it's the presentation :/. I'm more so into working on the characters & gameplay than cosmetics. In that sense I haven't changed much of anything I just added more music. Now I can really start coming up with concepts now that my roster size is closer to finalizing *cough* You can help me if you want in that department expert. Birdie huh.. Not a character I care for, but open to anything I suppose.

So have I in fact lol.... there's more I have been doing than just screenplays myself, just haven't had a chance to show changes due to my net issues... no need to be defensive there... jk but in all seriousness, sure. Just pm me on what you would like or whatever, and I'll try to get to it. As for birdie, I was just assuming since he's in the roster anyways, if you wanted some help or something... demonstrate also changes I made to the char that can make him more "interesting..." I'll tell you soon, since my net is giving me problems to the point uploading is a bitch.
