MugenHook is an opensource project aimed to add features to the M.U.G.E.N engine (1.1 only). It is programmed in C++ (well, mostly) with assembly bits. Most of currently added features are from Mortal Kombat games (cause I like them), though I do accept suggestions and/or feature requests. It is under constant development, so expect updates often.
Current major features:
Animated portraits/stances on select screen - You can say goodbye to cursor tricks!
Animations upon selection - Make your character perfom an animation (eg. win) upon selection.
Cell based sounds - Assign different selection sound for every character in your roster (useful for announcers).
Hardcoded strings modification - Rename Simul/Single/Turns or customize your button names without hex editor or font tricks.
Disable game modes - Don't like a particular game mode in your fullgame? Simply disable it!
3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 - Spice things up with one switch, no seperate executables required!
There's also some minor ones like random stage select sound.

Some suggestions: - Having a frameLoader thing for each character like the Animated ports. - Having P2's teammode change during arcade mode, for example, having a Single character as a boss after Tag/Simul matches. - Adding new keys which combine the defaults key like for example, x+a. - Have the string changes expand out to the normal Options screen. Some feedback: - Recode the anim selection for the Animated ports, some characters' anims, most notably the stance use anims in the wrong order, unless I use the workarounds mentioned on your wiki. - No portraits or name appear on the versus screen if I change the amount of characters in Simul mode.

This sounds pretty awesome. I'll test it out this weekend. Suggestion: What about an Image stage selector, since the only way now is via custom fonts, which only allows for limited stages.
Example in spoiler.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

There's no real tag mode if you want that, there's 3vs3 and 4s4 just like old mugen hacks. To enable that simply change iSelectableFighters value in the .ini, note you can do 6vs6 and you'll select 6 players for player 1 only and the other will break, so just keep that at 4 max.

Frameloader for each character is pointless, and impossible too. There's only one place where i can load extra frames required to display on select screen. The only thing that I am certain is possible is expanding the options string space. Frankly, I've done some research on keys and it seems it might be possible to add new one but that would require expanding script handler as well. Until I find a better way to pull off animations (which I doubt), you'll have to rely on workarounds for now.

Can't access system.sff in memory yet (guess that's where images would be kept, to save on loading all stages .sff), so can't say anything at this moment.

Was about to ask if would be possible to use both sprites {for the select animation} and normal ports at the same time, then suddenly think one could simply add the animation over the port---
Does need a specific set of sprites and/or AIR animation in general tho or each char can have a custom one?
This is good progress visualy.

^ each character animation is custom, you can easily create what you're trying to do.

Title: Re: MugenHook - upgrade your M.U.G.E.N!
Post by: Ex☆Cham on September 20, 2019, 08:06:19 pm
That's coming as variations. Figured out it will be faster to just read selected palette option and adjust character based on that instead of reading user input.
If I could make a suggestion - ability to adjust the amount of life gain for turns mode.
eg. would like to be able to specify 50% life gain for whatever it currently is
hope this makes sense
Not sure what you want to accomplish.
I think he means recovering 50% of the actual life instead of a fixed value. In turns mode, when you win a round, you recover an amount of life (always the same, don't know how much though), I think he wants to recover life based on the current life after you win the round.
Edit: My turn now. Is it possible to add a sorta sliding effect to the portraits? Similar to SF4 and some other games, the portrait slides into the screen and stops in the right position. Would be also cool a fading effect, thought I think this is possible doing in the animation, playing with alpha and setting the time to -1 when the portrait is fully visible.

Sliding effect is certainly possible, I have figured an effective way to do so, stay tuned. I do not read alpha, pos and loopstart/end from .air files, so the alpha thing might not be possible.

Loopstart/end from animation is not supported, it goes like this 0->Max frames in air->0->Max frames in air. Maybe support for loopstart/end can be added, I'll have to think about it.

This could be useful for my project but... do I have to use sprite groups 0, 180, 181 and 182? Some of the characters I have either have a lot of sprites in group 0 or don't have sprite groups 180, 181, 182. It might be tricky with Magneto and Capt. America due to the cape and shield being helpers and not part of the fighter together.

you can use whatever sprite groups you want, you can also make custom animations using specific sprites for each character if you want (that's what im doin) & yea i've that issue too same with Hayato

Wow, that's a great tool.
Although it is a report, animation of a character is not correctly displayed when a character is decided by randomselect.
When selecting characters with randomselect, it will be better if the animation of the selected character is displayed correctly.
Title: Re: MugenHook - upgrade your M.U.G.E.N!
Post by: ermaccer on September 22, 2019, 11:05:23 am
Random selects are very specific in how they work, I could allow announcers and animations work for them like with any other character but that would require setting switchtime to 10 or over that value to actually read what's beign selected, anything below that is too fast and impossible to get information. Switchtime over 10 makes random select useless as it selects too slow (lol).
What you want to do is make a one frame animation for stance and winning, then assign that to random select cell. Ugly workaround, but pretty good as no other option is available now.
Cursor sounds are locked to default ones from system.def for random cells too.

Nice extension man. Its possible to set global animations for the portraits? Like instead of defining animations for each character, just define a default one since most of the characters use the same animation number for the win animation. Other than that it would be good to have a option to use the default mugen cursor sounds together with a custom sound or just use the default sounds+the animations since bHookAnimatedPortraits rely on bHookCursorTable to work.

Well, you can define global animation by defining one line only, as it uses first available entry if none is specified. You'd stilll have wrong animations playing as it would read specific .air file. Split animated portraits and cursor sounds will be in next update.

I too wish to know if this is possible. it seems like it reads the animations frame by frame via frameLoader instead of just taking it directly from the created .air file of choice. I hope there's an alternative around this.

Nah, It does read animations from .air, you can easily test this with frametime changes. Guess I should rename frameLoader to spriteLoader or something similar to avoid confusion.

Post by: akamaru on September 22, 2019, 10:55:45 pm
well, I could do that, but the air and sff of the chars have the resources to do that without editing.
Maybe in a next version could something be done ? like an option to not disable the big.potraits when the animations are enabled?
It's also a problem if, let's say the ability to show the palette selected for animated portraits gets added.

Made some quick tests : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rskI6ixWtZ8
Issues : - Animation doesn't work if a sprite is "linked to" another (blank sprites), I had to point to the original indexed sprite in the air file. (Fighter Factory Classic helped with that) - I think the tool is case sensitive : Some air files needed to be formated (ex Action with A work, not with lowercased first letter). (notepad++ helped too) - Some issues with palettes (Fighter Factory has an option to apply the good palette to sprites)
As I said, this is a very promising tool.

I have a few questions.
- Is it possible to fix some problems in 1.1 that were not present in 1.0? Such as sound fx cut-off during transition from a screen to another (for example, from the menu to the character select), portraits not sharing palette with the char in lifebars, etc. - Is it possible to make character intros unskippable? Just make it so you HAVE to wait until the characters have finished their intros. - Also unskippable versus / winquote screens, or at least an amount of time that you have to wait before being able to skip it?

Ultimate ASI Loader can get updated and MugenHook can not for example, that's why they are seperate downloads. What do you mean with your animation error?
- Is it possible to fix some problems in 1.1 that were not present in 1.0? Such as sound fx cut-off during transition from a screen to another (for example, from the menu to the character select), portraits not sharing palette with the char in lifebars, etc. - Is it possible to make character intros unskippable? Just make it so you HAVE to wait until the characters have finished their intros. - Also unskippable versus / winquote screens, or at least an amount of time that you have to wait before being able to skip it?
- No idea, never really used 1.0 - Doubtful - Should be doable.
Made some quick tests : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rskI6ixWtZ8
Issues : - Animation doesn't work if a sprite is "linked to" another (blank sprites), I had to point to the original indexed sprite in the air file. (Fighter Factory Classic helped with that) - I think the tool is case sensitive : Some air files needed to be formated (ex Action with A work, not with lowercased first letter). (notepad++ helped too) - Some issues with palettes (Fighter Factory has an option to apply the good palette to sprites)
As I said, this is a very promising tool.
- Can do nothing about linked sprites, you'll have to use unique ones. - Palette is the first available one, can do nothing either until I figured out a way to load more palettes.
I'll take a look with the case sensitive thing (didn't know there are .air files with random case stuff), an update should be done on this weekend featuring sliding portraits and per character scale, could not work much this week as no time.

Because I only use custom ports, I would like to just enable the announcer voice but use char win quotes on selection.

This is a really cool idea, I've always wanted custom select sounds ;D
Unfortunately it crashes my mugen when loading the select screen. I did some testing and it seems to be caused by the number of cells on the select screen. You can test it using the default mugen1 screenpack, just make the following change:
Code:
rows = 8 columns = 60
This causes it to crash, whereas setting rows = 7 works fine. It's nothing to do with any characters, it happens no matter what characters I have on the select screen.

It doesn't work this way unfortunately, it can't read from the character's SND. Instead you have to add each sound to the system.snd of the screenpack, then update soundAnn.dat to set the sound for each X,Y co-ordinate on the select screen (so if you move a character you have to update this file accordingly). I assume it's this way because Mugen is only designed to read select screen sounds from system.def, and can't be forced to look elsewhere.

MugenHook is an opensource project aimed to add features to the M.U.G.E.N engine (1.1 only). It is programmed in C++ (well, mostly) with assembly bits. Most of currently added features are from Mortal Kombat games (cause I like them), though I do accept suggestions and/or feature requests. It is under constant development, so expect updates often.
Current major features:
Animated portraits/stances on select screen - You can say goodbye to cursor tricks!
Animations upon selection - Make your character perfom an animation (eg. win) upon selection.
Cell based sounds - Assign different selection sound for every character in your roster (useful for announcers).
Hardcoded strings modification - Rename Simul/Single/Turns or customize your button names without hex editor or font tricks.
Disable game modes - Don't like a particular game mode in your fullgame? Simply disable it!
3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 - Spice things up with one switch, no seperate executables required!
There's also some minor ones like random stage select sound.

Also is it possible to have the cursor automatically only go to simul if you hide both single and turns? I know that you can hide them by default but if you press a button without pressing down you automatically pick single which breaks my build.

May I request a few things:
-Ability for the controller to still work while disconnected mid game/ability for controller to work after you first turn in on midgame (hotplugging/afterplugging)
-Ability to block certain keys/buttons during character intros
-Ability to dynamically blur a specific layer in a stage in relation to how far a stage is zoomed out
-Add depth data to layers so that mugen can be coded to be in 3D when using sbs3D shaders in reshade. Layers below zero will appear further back. Above = closer.

Such as sound fx cut-off during transition from a screen to another (for example, from the menu to the character select), portraits not sharing palette with the char in lifebars, etc. - Is it possible to make character intros unskippable? Just make it so you HAVE to wait until the characters have finished their intros. - Also unskippable versus / winquote screens, or at least an amount of time that you have to wait before being able to skip it?

0.4.3 Released!
This release adds experimental sliding portraits, so you can have MKT like character move-ins. I've also fixed Training and Watch mode sound playback bugs, they don't repeat/play wrong sounds. Scaling for each character in animated portraits has been added too.
Please copy any new .ini settings that have been added, also animatedPortraits.dat can be updated with values for scaling. Note that this release might pop up a message saying it has been installed correctly.
This many characters bug is very random, I've been able to load around 1800 character slots without any crashes, but 1864 would crash. Really difficult to trace and debug. I'll try to read last pages of this topic and catch up with what you guys have been suggesting.
Go check out the wiki for any information on new stuff.
Enjoy!

Random select would need to be replaced with a new solution to make it useable for anything, it is not even random. I cannot use any data from it as it switches too fast, you can make sounds work with Random cells but only if you use very slow switch time, and that is not that good looking.

Here's a couple of ideas if possible: If it's possible to implement a change for the characters shadow into ovals. Stage interaction implementation would be nice if its possible without the need to make a fullgame. Implementing something similar to Training by Stupa would be a nice feature addition for training mode. Character color/palette preview/selection in the select screen would be nice.

You can do that kind of shadow like an explod into the cns of each character, Beximus did that in Capcom Universe proyect.
Some ideas: - Would be great to disable skip for INTRO and WIN battles. I would like to generate the "after win" code like MvC, disable the win pose pressing start button and continue punching when the enemy is dead.
- Would be great to add the simul and turns mode in training mode.

One thing that would be super sweet to have is a means of placing alternate versions of one character onto one character slot and you can choose them by holding start and pressing left or right, like for example Ryo: Regular, but when you hold start you can get Mr. Karate II, or Fatal Fury WA Ryo.

I will use Google Translator, so I hope you understand. Finally, someone bothered to bring individual animations and sounds to the selection screen. This is amazing, and enriching for MUGEN. So thanks for the work. I want to report some issues.
I tried anyway to make MugenHook work on my Mortal Kombat - Solano Edition, but it works only partially. I thought it might be a problem with my project, so I tested it on the official MKP, the MUGEN defaut engine, also on M.U.G.E.N 20th Anniversary, and the problems persisted. Mugen Hook does not work for me, and no matter what I do. I did all the correct procedures. I have all the sounds, the animations, all perfectly configured in the cfg folder. What happens is that the animations on the selection screen appear (in slowdown) but then disappear quickly. As for the name sounds being said, some cells work well, but in others the sounds are not reproduced.
Re-scale characters are not working either
(A suggestion: The sounds played by system.snd on the selection screen sound very low. It would be perfect if you had an option like the "volumescale" parameter to be able to increase the playback volume of this file.)

Hey I think I might be able to help on Your issues. I watched your video and this is what i came up with.
So from what i know so far is that, the first person you put for animated portraits (IE for your case, Scorpion) the engine will set whatever you have first in your animated portraits as the default guideline for the rest of the cast unless you specify otherwise. In order to specify otherwise you have to do what you did with your lui kang and input his data separatley below scorpion and for others you repeat the process. Alot of times with mugen chars their standing animation isin't always identical across the map. What do i mean?
Spoiler: Where you may have went wrong according to your video(click to see content)
The Deadpool im using starts under animation 0
His Sprites in that animation go from Group 0, Index 0 = 0,0 all the way to group 0, index 11 =0,11.
This will look like this in your Frame loader: 0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,9 0,10 0,11
Unfortunately all characters donot work this easily. Alot of them repeat old frames to make their animations. So it would look like this for another character 0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,0 <-- Starts over again at Index frame 0 0,1 0,2 0,4 <-- Skips Index 3 and goes to 4 0,5 0,6 <--Stops here and dosent go to 11 like the Deadpool
So if your characters has a standing animation like this, when you scroll over them in the select screen you will only see animations for 0 -3 correctly and it will chop at the second 0,0 since when it tries to use the default in my Deadpool it will be searching for its 0,4 animation sprite instead of its 0,0 animation sprite . and it will mess up and only re-catch itself when its starts completely over at the first 0,0 animation and it will mess up chop up again if you get what i mean.
If You Need more info ill put below in a spoiler what i did to put in the Deadpool.
Spoiler: Putting In Deadpool(click to see content)
So for example: Im putting in Deadpool so i need him animated.
To start i put in his data into the frame loader so that the program will render all his animations specifically to my tastes and not to be exactly the same as the first person I put in( For your case the would've been scorpion since in your video he was first on the list so the program will treat him as the default model going forward.)
This is what deadpools Frame loader looks like:
4 3 0 0 181 0 chars\Deadpool\Deadpool.air
What does the above tell me?
Hes in the 4th row, 3rd coulumn
Standing animation is number 0 in animations
Select animation is number 181 in animations
His air file is found in the Deadpool Character folder, and the files name is Deadpool.air (Simple I know but bear with me)
After I put that now I'm going to paste my own "Frame Loader" Def file for his standing animations below.
; ermaccer mugenhook - frame loader ; ; format: ; a - group ; b - index ; ; a b 9000 0 9000 1 9000 2 ; these are required ^
As you see from the paste above, His standing sprite animations go from 0,0 to 0,11. How did i know that and find that information? I opened up 'fighters factiory 3' and i loaded up Deadpool. I went to animations tab and his standing animations where under number 0 Usually it will be named "Standing"
In Fighters factory the little that i know (Please fact check me in case im wrong) is that when you add sprites to a character you must load them all in a group to make it easier to find certain types of sprites. (So you'd have a jumping, crouching, punching and so forth) Then each individual sprite will get an index number to differentiate them whenever the system needs to use a specific frame. So for example, My jumps can be in group 30 and have 5 sprites in total numbering form 0-4. so it would look like this if i wanted to use it as my animation when he gets selected or for his regular animation when i slide over the character: 30,0 30,1 30,2 30,3 30,4
So it all sums up to how the character is made. Will their standing animations go from 0,0 to 0,11? or will they repeat or jump to other specific frames. You'll have to figure it out in fighters factory for each character. Id recommend atleast putting a character that has a traditional standing and select animation (Usually its animation number 181 for select and 0 for standing) so that even if you don't do every character in your screenpack, atleast they wouldn't look too bad when you scroll over them.
I hope this helps. I'm Just now getting into Mugen Code myself so this is the most can try to help with. Goodluck!
Edit: Also here is a link to a video so you can see my setup with some of the same issues as your own so you can see what i was talking about https://streamable.com/f30du (https://streamable.com/f30du)
As you can see, Chung Li has Errors as well as the cast towards the bottom. I got lazy and decided not to finish them or fix their issues but we have alot of the same issues form what ive seen. :sweatdrop:

0.5.0b Released! Changes: - .air files should now load no matter the animation begin block name case (eg. both begin action and bEgIn ActiON should work) - Added experimental Fight Log feature from 1.0, currently it supports totalmatches and stage only - Crashes on select screen with many characters should now occur less frequent/not at all (needs more testing) - Added proper Windows XP support, suppose it is beign used in custom arcade machines. - Frame loader now works always, doesn't require animated portraits.
I want to colaborate with Mugenhook project, I have nice ideas can expand Mugen a little more
I was studying the developing of Mugenhook and ASI plugin, but the thing is ASI plugin are thinked for GTA games but, if I want to develop a ASI plugin for mugen, how settings do I need in the plugin SDK for mugen?
Because I want to add LibOPNMIDI and Tinysoundfont to mugen for adding MIDI arcade nostalgia
And other questión, its posible to add Winmugen the ASI plugin toó?
Thanks in advance
Well, .ASI files are just DLL libraries with extension changed, however the ASI loader i use for mugen requires a InitializeASI function to be present in the .dll, other loaders might just use DllMain.
WinMugen and Mugen 1.0 port are I think possible, just someone needs to find required adresses (pattern scanning won't work, 1.0 used a different compiler).
Fight Log is beign worked on. I found everything from 1.0 in 1.1, but please test and report the results of current version.

MugenHook requires https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases Rename the x86 dinput8.dll to ddraw.dll and place the asi in the main mugen folder.
Check out wiki on how to configure.
when I check inside the wiki: animport.png: ; ermaccer mugenhook - animated portraits ; Format: ; a - Row ; b - Column ; c - Animation ; d - Alternate Animation for P2 ; e - Select Animation ; f - Alternate Select Animation for P2 ; g - File name (512 max, no spaces) ; ---- These settings require ini bEnableAnimationScale set to true! ; h - Scale X ; i - Scale Y ; ; 0 0 0 0 180 0 chars\kfm\kfm.air 1.0 1.0"

0.5.1 Released Features: - Added variations, each cell can now have up to 255 characters toggleable with double start press - Added magic boxes, a special cell type which can display specified character for a specified amount of time and then close - Completely patched up Tag gamemode leftovers and also added extra param for teammode trigger, tag. - Added option to toggle left/right movement in main menu screen, useful for screenpacks with horizontal menus.
About tag mode. This is not a player ready tag mode, it is mostly designed for creators to make any use of it. By default any two characters you will select are controlled by the player who selected them, therefore eliminating the need to press CTRL + 3 each time you want to play as tag partner on Simul based tag modes.
Example tag trigger:
Code:
[State 1000, TagTest] type = PlaySnd trigger1 = teammode = tag value = 4,0
Note that if you decide to use tag for your character, anyone who wants to use it will need to have mugenhook installed as it adds that param, without it engine will pop up that the value is unspecified.

Mugen 1.0 have a option to do a quick launch with batch file and mugen 1.1 got it but mugen 1.1 don't generate a fight.log so i suggest you to copy or rewrite this code from mugen 1.0 and to give it to your beautiful Mugenhook 1.1 ! you are a hope for us ! thank you so much for your release. your are the best ! :thumbsup:

Hope I am not asking what someone else already asked. Can you use the turns for the tag mode to select if we want one team to have 2 while the other has 3 or 4 been thinking of street fighter's dramatic battle mode for a while and wanted to see that in mugen would be nice if somehow you could make a randomizer for arcade mode where you'd go against a tag team of 2 then the next a tag team of three only to find the final person be a OP boss who is all by his/herself. Also lifebar portrait change so implementation of live or dead player could be known or show damages.

Some suggestions for future features: 1) A universal cmd file or the addition of more buttons. ex: qcb + start = tag command. 2) Mugen 1.1 has an input lag of 2 frames. Not sure if this can be fixed in the future with MugenHook. 3a) Customization of the ini file to force load another standard cns (similar to common1.cns) which wouldn't require editing each character. This could make universal tag mode or universal animated portraits possible. 3b) With the force load of another standard cns, perhaps the addition of another statedef that's constantly running in the background (similar to statedef -3). Statedef -4 and beyond. 4) Ability to select the stage in training based on the opponent you selected. (ex: selecting Ryu as your training opponent, you can press start to automatically have the stage select point to Ryu's assigned stage from the select def.) 5) Standardized command buffering (would probably require too much work upfront).

Well done, ermaccer! Kudos for making this possible!
Here's my feedback for future updates: * Sliding portraits for the versus screen, like in (U)MK3 and MK4. * After choosing the character, you can choose the color freely and expand the choices beyond the maximum limit of 12. * Add the unlockable character slot function, complete with conditions.

1) Is there any reason to? 3b) Is there any reason to?
I was primarily thinking of these features for creating a universal tag mode without having to edit each character. It could also be used for other features im sure.
1) if we were to build a custom universal tag mode, allowing a universal command that functions as an add-on to a characters current cmd file would allow us to make a universal tag command. 3b) if you can create request 3a, then having a negative statedef that's constantly running in the background would be crucial to having additional universal statedefs function imo. You could essentially program tag mode without editing each character's statedef -2 or -3 cns file by having a common cns on the data folder with statedef -4 and beyond.

You do not need to specify any extra values in variations/animated portraits, only thing to understand is that whenever you use variations with animated portraits, each animation number will be increased by 100 * variation. All animations must be in first character .air file, in this example, Ryu SF2 must have 5, 105 and 205 anims.

On the note of allowing more buttons would it be possible to do this so we can make macro buttons like 2 punches or 3 punches, etc?
Can pause and scrlock be changed to different buttons too? As many keyboards are losing these keys.
Any way to have a char load an alt sff mid match or set more to be loaded during the vs screen load?
So we can have true transformations.
Alternatively if it’d be easier would there be a way to trigger things based on sprite number instead of anim? If we could do that we could replace single sprites on the fly like we do with anim. Like a changespr trigger2 or something

One thing that would be fun, if in versus mode, a setting where you can have it so the character chosen will also fight on their corresponding stage for each match. Ex: ryu vs sagat will make you fight on sagat's stage. Heck, it could even be random like fight on either ryu or sagat's stage. I think stage assignments should be available in other modes aside from arcade.

You're probably sick of all the questions in here right now, but is it possible to engineer a CvS-style "Groove Select" prior to the actual match screen, at least for those who have them? It's my understanding that at the moment you have to code such things into the character, meaning the different styles have to be selected when the match starts, and being able to do that at, say, the select screen or VS screen prior to the actual match would be an interesting thing to implement.

First of all, congratulations to ermaccer for everything he's done so far! Mugenhook is probably the most revolutionary thing that happened for mugen in years, and I think there's potential for much more!
I have a few suggestions/requests for future updates, if you don't mind:
1) having the possibility to make the "single" or "team" options the default ones when selecting a character, instead of "simul". 2) different select sounds for variations (ex: if I want to make Classic Sub-Zero a variation for Noob Saibot, have two different select sounds for the two even if they share the slot). 3) the possibility to have special battles during the arcade mode, like in the old MK games (ex: fight a certain secret character at a certain point if you had all perfects, or some other variable). 4) kinda similar to the above, the possibility to have SF-style "rival battles" (ex: the mid-boss is always Sagat if I'm using Ryu, Iori if I'm using Kyo, and so forth).
Is any of this feasible?

Hello ermaccer, congratulations and thanks for your great work.
Some suggestions:
1 - Team characters await on the stage cheering, as in the King of Fighters series, with different animations for the defeated characters.
2 - Interaction of characters with stages, with the possibility of adding destructible objects, water animation activated according to the movement of the characters (jumps, falls ...), NPCs of the stage that react to the player's actions.
3 - Possibility to add endings and introductions according to the formation of the teams, example: End the game with characters that form canonical teams to enable endings according to the story. Ending with random characters inhabits a generic ending.
4 - Possibility of adding a part of the story before and after each fight, and according to the opponents.
5 - Possibility of some opponents to fight alone even in team mode, to fight with bosses or challenging characters.

Hello man, how are you? First of all I congratulate you for this great contribution and project. could you leave some suggestions? here it goes 1- be able to change the palette in the select screen 2-to be able to change the outfit or version of the char in select screen.
I've been testing some options and bHookVariations is interesting. You could put an option to press the cursor twice: - the first time to "select" and the second time to "confirm".
then when you position yourself in a char you press to select and there you can do the 2 options mentioned above. -press the button first time to select the char (the cursor should not move from the photo) move arrows up/down to choose palette and left/right to choose outfits or versions of the char, and press second time to confirm and that's it.
I hope you can understand me, I usually get tangled up xD it is something similar as in kof13 the idea. Greetings

Do you use any antivirus software? Please try disabling it.
Update 0.5.4 beta release (therefore 0.5.4b), I've done lots of changes to the code which should improve both stability and perfomance. New stuff: - Animated Icons Character icons can now be animated, comes with hardcoded behaviour for variation chars to work like MKT. - Sliding Portraits Update New param, slide animation can now be reset on every cursor move - Cursor Announcer Update New way to specify entries, you can use ID to specify sound instead of screen position. This also works with variations (position based entry did not care about variations)
This update should improve compatibility with antivirus software, they shouldn't mess too much with MugenHook behaviour now.
Some bugfixes, small changes and more can be read in the changelog.

The loopanim on the select animations works like a charm... However, if I enable the option, some weird stuff happens on those characters who don't have a loopanim. I avoided the issue by giving everyone a loopstart before the final frame with -1.

I have really tried several attempts to get this working, finally its stops crashing when loading the select screen, but none of the effects are in place. I followed his tutorial to the "T" in the youtube video and read the wiki also.
I can't get the animations to play or the game modes to show up.
Please, if someone has it running, can you zip those files and upload them? Please? Help a member out.
Thanks!

Everyone who experiences select screen crash, please try using this update. .ASI file only, update over 0.5.4b.
I unfortunately cannot get this to work...for me, it says that mugenhook was successfully installed and correctly reads the files, but automatically closes at the menu screen, i can't even make into the character select screen... Am i missing something or installing incorrecty?

I know there hasn't been word in 2 months but... Is there any chance to have .zip file support? That'll help those keep their fighter file sizes short. Also, I don't know if the soundAnn.dat is bugged but when I have bHookCursorTable set to true and then go to the select screen, the game closes without error. But disabling it doesn't. What could be wrong?

did you follow the intructions and added the custom announcer sound,normally when you simply leave it on without adding the announcers mugen will crash.

Trying out MUGENHook on Windows 10 has caused issues for Dark. Such as spontaneous crashes and other errors. It doesn’t seem to be consistently Windows 10 friendly yet.

Hi, I don't know if this was reported already or even if you're still working on this, but: Variation sometimes acts weird. It shows the character correctly in the select screen, but when I select them and the fight starts, it's another character. Not sure what is causing this and is not all the time, sometimes it works correctly, sometimes it doesn't.

I just started getting into this tool recently and it is truly awesome. Definitely has some kinks that need to be worked out, such as not being able to use the Dpad to control the characters (if it is possible, I can't figure out how to do it), but it is beyond what I thought would ever be possible in Mugen. Another feature that would cool to add and really handy is to allow select screens to be scrollable. I have A LOT of mugen characters as I'm sure most of us do, and it would be cool to not have to edit every screenpacks select screen to accommodate for all of them. Plus it would be nice to see bigger character icons on the select screen too as opposed to 3x3's.

I really love this tool and how it have many features, i don't get to imagine what more this tool could do in the future.
Perhaps the color selection and alt mode char would be very surprising, however i think it can be a little bit hard depending on the codes.

If anyone still uses this program, could you possibly show me your animated portrait and frame loader dat files? I'm seemingly able to set up the animations properly, but just for one character. Every other character on the select screen acts wonky (animation does not loop properly, character randomly disappears). The example in the tutorial shows it with one character, but I feel seeing it set up with multiple characters will help me grasp it better.

Thank you so much! This helps alot. I was trying to make it work with every character's main animation and sprite files, but giving them all standalone portrait animation files and sprite indexes is a great idea.

Extremely late reply but Maybe the values you're using are wrong. In your system.def you need to add these lines:
These are my settings, you'll need to tweak the values to your like. Just keep in mind that max.dist value should be higher for p1 or lower for p2 than their offset value. So if you use 'p1.face.offset = 32, 50', p1.portrait.slide.max.dist should be higher than 32.
