Need help running a stage :(

Hello.

I tried to use the Mad Dog character by Kazmer, along with the stage provided (Alien's Lair). However, I get an error message from MUGEN:

Error Message:
BG Error Reading stages/contra.def

Library Error Message: Error reading sprite stages/contra.sff

If someone needs the character so they can try to help find out, I'd be glad to upload and post it.

Help is SERIOUSLY appreciated.

EDIT: This is where you get it: http://mugentomb.free.fr/ Look under "characters"

This type of question really belongs in the Configuration Help section, but I'll go ahead and answer your question here till a moderator moves it.

It is an older mugen creation, so you have to change the part where the stage tells mugen where to look for the .sff file. 

Open up the stage's .def file and look for this part: 
[BGdef]
spr = stages\contra.sff
debugbg = 1

You need to change the \ to a / and also, while it's not part of your problem, debug should be set to off. 
[BGdef]
spr = stages/contra.sff
debugbg = 0

Alternatively, you can just leave off the "stages/" part as long as the .def and .sff files are in the same folder like so:
[BGdef]
spr = contra.sff
debugbg = 0
