     Mugen crashes everytime when I enable the continue screen mode in the system.def configuration.
I want to continue the game in Arcade or Team mode after I lose, but it would always crash with the error message " can't
open stage".  Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thank you!!!

  • Somebody PM when Caddie is no longer a mod.
Does it do this as soon as you click continue or after you have continued and have selected new chars.

    No, it does not crash immediately after I clicked on "continue".  After I click on "continue" it directs me to
the select screen but whether I choose the same character I previously used or a different one, Mugen crashes after the VS screen.

   I'm supposed to download the second one, "no limit patch fix"? Because I did download the first one, as a matter of fact the Mugen I'm currently using is the one I got from the site you suggested so my problem still persists.  What will I do after I download the patch fix?

Unzip the files in your mugen directory I guess. I forgot that you even had to get the patch separately (I've been using winmugen plus, and it has everything already fixed). :P

Still not working, even after I patched Mugen.  I have MugenPlus too, but this version also crashes after the VS screen in continue option.

Alright then, here's another way...

Take any stage and copy the contents of it's def file into a blank text file. Remove the extension of the file, name it random, and place it in the root directory for mugen. Then, go into your select.def file and place ", random" (minus the quotes of coarse) in front of those character entries that don't have a stage attached to them. That should do it.

Thanks alot Kain for trying to help me out, but I don't know how to do what you have instructed as I am a Mugen newbie.  I should copy any stage file from the Stage directory?  but how do I go about copying it to the blank text folder. How do you create a blank text follder?  The last part from your instuctrion, I can understand.  Can you please give me more detailed instruction?

OK let me break it down a bit more:

-Go to your stages folder and pick any .def file you see in there (stage0.def or kfm,def for example), and open it with notepad.
-Hit CTRL+A to highlight everything and then right click and select copy.
-Go to mugen's root directory (where the executable, mugen.exe is).
-Create a new text document, and call it random.
-Paste what you just copied into the blank text file you have created. Save it, and then close it.
-Remove the extension from the text file, so instead of random.txt, it should just be called random. You may have to go into your folder options and make known extensions visible to do this.
-Next, go into your data folder and open select.def and where your characters are entered, place ",random" in front of their names if you haven't specified a stage for them. So if kfm did not have a stage attached to him he would just have "kfm" in the def file, you would change that to "kfm, random". Since kfm does have a stage by default you would not have to change anything, but for your characters that don't you should add , random beside their name.

Is that better?

Yup, way better.  I must thank you for the superb help there.  Now I can continue the game anytime I want.  How about the sound though?  I want to adjust the volume for the game sound during the match and make it softer while setting the volume for the background stage music louder, but I don't know how.  I also want to cheat sometimes and make the power bar level to be always at maximum for my character during the matches; can you do that?  Thanks again Kain!!!

Sorry for the late reply, I've been really busy as of late.

To increase the volume of the stage music open the def file for the stages with notepad and search for bgvolume. Once you find it set it to 255, which is the maximum volume.

About the infinite power stuff, you can just press F3 to refill your power bar. It does the same for the cpu too, however, so bare that in mind. The other method of doing it would require a bit of coding knowledge, a lot of copying and pasting to do it reliably, and really is a pain in the ass if you feel like removing it later, unless you develop a way enable/disable through taunts or something. Not really worth it in my opinion. If you still want me to go through it I will.

that problem has happened to me before all i did to solve it was put the chars in select.def in this format:

kfm, stages/kfm.def, order=1

and i never experienced that problem again...
