The Mugen Fighters Guild - how to make mugen play zipped characters to conserve HD space

ive posted this also to infantry

I dont know if this existed already but ill just share it to you guys.

I am supposed to post this with the website link where i found this cool .dll but i cannot remember the site and cannot find it any more.

To do this tip, just remember some things according to the site:

This file allows you to keep your characters Zipped while in the character folder, so you don't have to unzip every character you download.
All you have to do is overwrite the zlib.dll file that is in the main folder (with the mugen.exe) with this one.
This should save you loads of HDD space on your computer.

1    When you add your character in the select.def, make sure you also add a ".zip" at the end of the character's name.
   ex: [Characters]
kfm.zip, stages/kfm.def
2
    Do NOT leave the character inside a folder when you zip it.
(If the character has sub-folders such as "states" etc, these sub-folders can be left alone.)
3
   If the character is still not recognized, it is because the last line in it's CNS file does not have a brake line.
Just open the character's CNS file with Notepad, and go to the very bottom-end and press enter, then save it.

I dont know if this is compatible with winmugen hi plus. And some characters also are not compatible. In my experience, only Nakoruru is not compatible.

*** Now if you have many characters to edit their .cns, you have to have a very good file manager(like Altap's Servant Salamander) and list all cns file in one "ctrl+F(find)", associate the .cns to text editing soft(like TextPad-->got this from DarkValentine) and just open all files in the TextPad and Save all. Again, TextPad can have a Block Select Mode so its very easy to add .zip to select.def ***

Thanks for Reading

Have fun!
