I use a screen pack on my MUGEN for a while now and I kinda like it, but the char slots are getting full.
So just to be sure, am I able to add more char slots on MUGEN that already have a screen pack?

Yes, in fact this is one of the most asked questions about MUGEN.
In theory you can add as many slots as you want, but if it will look good or not on your game is another story, it depends on how the screenpack looks / is coded.

Go to system.def on your screenpack folder, find these lines:
Code:
rows = 2
columns = 5

This is an example from the default WinMUGEN screenpack, which has 2 rows and 5 columns, resulting in 10 slots for chars. You can change this to whatever you want, you can have 5 rows, 13 columns, 467 rows, anything. Sometimes your characters will be offscreen, as I said, depending on how the screenpack looks. You might want to change the sizes and everything. The system.def has a lot of self explanatory parameters that you should be able to modify with no problem. Some examples:

Code:
pos = 90,170              ;Position to draw to
cell.size = 27,27         ;x,y size of each cell (in pixels)
cell.spacing = 2          ;Space between each cell

There are tons of tutorials on how to modify screenpacks on the internet and on youtube too. Check those if you get lost.
