Fight'n Rage is a great game.

I highly recommend it if you were into the Konami style brawlers from back in the day.

I'd like to know a good alternative for a free/cheap image host. I've been using cubeupload, but they have been less than reliable.

Recently got a message from them e-begging. No threats like that or anything.

Whoa there.

Hold up.

Megaman X was so good, That the mediocrity of the rest of the series can be forgiven.

It's one of the best SNES titles released. Up there with FF6, Chronno Trigger, Super Mario World, Super Metroid, and LoZ.

X2 and X3 were not as good, sure. And the only title afterwords even worth remembering is X4. but none of that deflates the importance of MegaMan X.

So, it turns out that batch image size converters are a thing.

As requested I converted everything into a  120x140 standard port size, so no messing with the system.def needed.

Still 1.1 .png though, I'm not going back on that. personally, I think having them this small kind of defeats the entire purpose, but thats just my opinion.

Samples and link below.

I'll also update the first post.

ok never mind, I had to open fighter factory CLASSIC to make it work! strange, but it got the job done

Oh yeah I've seen that before.

sometimes with other troublesome characters like that I've had to load just the .sff in fighter factory. Loading the whole character would screw everything up.

Believe it or not Eric is a madman and made all those himself.

Oh boy...

Knowing the source of the TMNT Portrait images would already help me a lot

Bad news and good news!

bad news is, no idea the source on those!

Good News!

I released all my large ports literally yesterday in this thread here:

http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/1-1-double-res-portrait-pack-vol-2-187694.msg2452638.html

Including the large version on those turtle ports. they are 240x280 and png, so just use them or convert them as you like. In the folder I also included the small ports too. they are .png as well though, so you need to use either mugen 1.1 or convert them to pcx. (fairly certain a reverse image search on the turtles will bring up the source too)

**EDIT**

Double good news! So like 5 minutes after I posted this I thought... wait I wonder if I still have the work files for the turtles. and I do! No krang or shredder though. They are forever lost to the recycle bin I'm afraid. leaving the rest of the post as is in case anyone else wants the small ports.

Spoiler tagged cause they are like BIG

Did you replace the portrait, or just add the new one to the .SFF?

If you added it, you need to remove the other one, or change its group and index number to something else, and make sure the one you added has the right number. Default for big portraits is usually 9000,1

If you have done that already, then you may not be saving the sprite file correctly.

I know if FF3 I would have issues if I just tried to click "save" I would have to go to "save as" and overwrite the characters .SFF.

Lemmie know if that helps.

Thanks dude. I really respect the work you do, so that means a lot.

I haven't made anything yet in normal scale.

It wouldn't be so hard to do so I might give it a go one weekend if I have some new tunes I want to listen to. You know just chill out to doing something like that.

I'll keep it in mind for sure. huh...I guess my motivation may be back. that was quick. lol.

I may even convert to winmugen... but eeeeeehhh. I'm still leaning on a hard no on that. I haven't made any winmugen ports since... I dunno, when was Warzone the new hotness? whenever that was.

I've been working on this for a while and I'm ready to dump the 700+ Double resolution (240x280) .PNG portraits that I've made.

I have lost a lot of motivation for mugen recently (no comment), but I'll be damned if I don't post this anyway. Especially since I put literally hundreds of hours into editing some of them; like the Kagayaru ones that I had to redraw like 50% of the damn things.


Anywho the last pack like this I released I got a lot of feedback about cleaning up better, upping the contrast/saturation and trying to get more consistent with framing. last post didn't get a lot of traction but at least 300 people downloaded the thing, and I've seen more than one port of mine sneak into a release or two. So I know at least some people are using them.

So here is the deal, below is a series of screenshots and example portraits characterized by publisher or franchise. Users with slow bandwidth beware. Download link at the very bottom.

And a few more cameos here and there...


If you want to use these there is a few points to take into consideration.

1. You must use Mugen 1.1 If someone wants to convert any of these to pcx files for winmugen then go ahead and knock yourself out, but I don't use it so I'm not going to bother. This already took forever.

2. You will need to make sure the characters are 1.1 compatible, or the characters palettes wont work (or worse). If anyone has any questions about that I'll try to dig up the guide I made last time.

3. You will need to *decrease* the scale of the portraits you use by 50% in all the P1/P2 "big" locations in whatever system.def you are using. Again if you have trouble, just ask. (or whatever scale is relevant to the pack you use)

4. Use these however the you want. You want to edit them to some other template, or use it one for a pots style LV3 background? Go nuts. Credit is nice, but not needed, and asking permission is a waste of both our time.

and finally....

Ah good 'ol roster showcase.

Anywho... Something I,ve been working on for the last little while. A few old school mugen characters added. I also messed with the character count again. A little... crowded, but I like it.

Not every argument can come to an amicable end. Not every interaction will be a good one. And not every issue can be resolved. A sad truth to human existence, but the most anyone can do is acknowledge it and try their best. Sometimes it's just not worth expending the energy on a fruitless endeavor.

What argument?

I just walked into 2 pages of this guy, and a bunch of random users I haven't interacted with shiting all over me.

Not much of an argument on my side.

Jesus....

get home from work to this. goddamn.

@2dee.... you again vastly overestimate how much I give a shit about you. Effecting your personal life? how the hell have I done that? I have legitimately never reached out to you outside a few handful of replies on here, usually just calling you out on some BS. No PM's, nothing on your youtube page. Nada.

but since you had to make a big giant stink about it, I will NEVER reply to anything you ever say or do on here ever again.

Does that satisfy the mods here? I'll leave junior alone.

Fucking hell.

I thought Gui was the one you had beef with anyway. but whatever. I'd be happy to just put you on my ignore list but not sure how to even do that on this forum. mods help a guy out, because I seriously do not care about this entire drama scene and would be happy to end it here and now forever.

*edit* Am I wrong for thinking this is just embarrassing? Dude could have sent me a PM instead of.... whatever the hell this is.

Actually we must thank him for reminding us to use this char early.Of course it is wrong to bypass your warning.But it should be fine.Nice char btw.

Hi and thank your for your compliment.

The only problem I have is that I personally wanted to reveal the character myself before anything like this could happen.
I feel a little betrayed since whoever this person is who distributed Jae without my permission or even a simple notice did it without my consent.

Well... I guess since it's already done, I'll just have to let it go.

I hope everyone enjoy this version of Kim Jae Hoon.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to release your own work these days. No one is going to honor that. Best no upload it on the web until you are ready to do so yourself.

There are other ways to encrypt your files, you'll have to look into it though. Better ways than molebox. Nothing is 100% secure, but it'll keep the pests away.

I like my mugen best when nobody can play it!

Yeah, that was my point.
If people can't afford/don't want to, they don't.
There was no need to tell people to buy stuff because theirs sucks to begin with.

Guess you would've known if you didn't singled out that one line and put it out of context.

Well my point is don't blame the engine because

A. You don't have the required hardware for it.

or

B. You are running incompatible software (characters/stages)

My day job is literally troubleshooting servers. Maybe I have too high of expectations for people to actually try and figure out why shit doesn't work. 

I still don't see what some of you are talking about regarding error less crashing. Have you tried the 4Gb patch? When it dies does anything populate in event viewer?

Personally Mugen 1.1 has crashed for me less than most "AAA" games. Witcher 3 and GTA5 have easily crashed more often, and Skyrim/Fallout 4 like.... 1000% more(Gamebryo engine? more like LAMEbryo engine amiright). In comparison Winmugen was an unstable mess. I swear it was like a 50/50 shot if I could get through arcade mode without it dying on me. Never going back to that. 1.0 is solid too, but it doesn't support those sexy .png's

As for Ikeman.... I don't even know what the current working version is... plus... go... ssgssj.... whatever. Is it even on a finished release?
