Hi i'm Black Star and i'm a newbie at creating things for mugen.

Don't get me wrong i've been playing it since 2005, but i never tried to create anything for it. Now i want to learn how to make characters, and so on. But at the moment, i need help with creating a character. I already now how to do the difinitions of the character, but i don't know how to make the sprites or palettes. I know i might be asking for a bit much since everyone is busy doing their own mugen thing but if there is anyone who is willing to help me please do.

PS: i'm using the (Fighter Factory) program.

Browse through tutorial section, use KFM as your character based and watch few mugen tutorial video on youtube.

i've tried watching youtube videos for a week now and still...it doesn't help! what i'm trying to do is creat sprites for my character, but i just don't know how.

i've searched youtube, google, everywhere for a reliable tutorial but all failed!

If you wanna create character palette from a scratch, you probably needed based character for that. It probably take time but it worthy.

Any character that you feel suitable for your work.
KFM is the popular choice to make your character, use him as your base since he has everything that is required.
as for custom sprites. i cant really tell you i'm more of a objects guy, i cant draw people. You can just try to rip-game character using ripping software.
i personally use !draw3, its a art program thats made for RPG maker 2000, and it only works with 256 color images/palletes. its VERY basic.

List of software.

Sorry about all this......i know i'm being a pain umm, do i download it from the link u gave mne and afterwards is it possible for you to give me step by step or not possible $:-\$

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷShadyƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ · April 25, 2011, 04:54:49 AM

Ok. Try this first.

You should start to create your custom palette using KFM first.
Draw whatever you want using photoshop or PSP.
For me, im just combining kula stance with her intro with Diana.

After that, open palette editor and recolor the index color.

Dude, your not being a pain. Your new to creating content and that is ok.

As for step-by-step tutorials for MUGEN character creation, I suggest checking out Cyanide's Narutorials.

Cyanide tutorial might be the best for newbie.

okay i just read the first page of his tutorial, but it said that his is for the newbies that already have their sprites ready....in which i have none.

if i can somehow find a way to get my sprites using a program than i think i'll start with his tutuorial. i watched a youtube video earlier that showed me how to start a charater:

Naming files, seting up his sff,etc. the first thing the vid said to do was:

Oen Fighter Factory
Under file, click open template
than from there, open ur sprites.

That's the only part i'm missing. I already know that making ur sprites will be harder for anyone than just ripping them from somewhere else, so that's what i'm going to do. i just need a good and basic program that even someoen as slow as me can use!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷShadyƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ · April 25, 2011, 05:09:26 AM

Paint Shop Pro or Adobe photoshop CS3.

Cyanide · April 25, 2011, 05:13:11 AM

Mspaint. Seriously. They're just pictures.

Preferably not the vista/7 version of paint though, cos that's crap.

Duo Solo · April 25, 2011, 05:14:50 AM

^This

Also, to convert them to PCX format, use the Image Converter on VirtuallTek System's Website.

Black Star · April 25, 2011, 05:38:08 AM

okay so i went to download MS paint and something called gimp showed up.....is that supposed to be the program i use? i also clicked the link for the pcx conversion and it took me to the site. do i download: Image Conversor 3???

2OS · April 25, 2011, 05:44:30 AM

gimps awesome use it.

Cyanide · April 25, 2011, 05:52:57 AM

Nothing wrong with gimp go for it. Although if you don't know MSPaint is inside windows then you're gonna have a lot of trouble simply making sprites.

Black Star · April 25, 2011, 05:56:39 AM

Cyanide, i was looking for MS Paint like u said, but on the link..i didn't see it. Gimp showed up instead!

okay.....SCRATCH that upper reply of mine. i now have MS paint

now all i need is a pic of the charater right?

am i able to get those just by getting them from google images or do i need a spacific site??

PSS: Duo Solo the program u told me to get on the vertualltek site it it the (Image Conversor 3)
program, cause that's the only one i see that has the conversion words $:-\$

Cyanide · April 25, 2011, 06:12:01 AM

You said you wanted to make sprites. Right good. DRAW THEM. That's it. Thats how you make them.

Black Star · April 25, 2011, 06:24:09 AM

okay...sorry $:-\$

i didn't mean to be such a bother......
