Order Issue

[NICK54222]

Is anyone having this strange glitch in their select screen when trying to set the order? By that I mean when you set the order, the game sees the ORDER ASSIGNMENT as a CHARACTER and thus creates a blank spot instead.

Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

It mean's you've made a typo while trying to assign a stage/music/order.  Either that or your syntax is incorrect.
The game doesn't recognize what you typed as assigning something and is trying to load it as a character.

Some notes:
Check the way you've assigned order to your characters, make sure it matches the example in the select.def
If you're still having trouble, you can post the part of your select.def where you're having trouble.
While it won't cause this particular problem, I strongly suggest you remove spaces from any character, stage, or music file name, as spaces will cause order to not function properly.  Make sure that the name entered in the select.def still reflects the actual file name.

By that you mean between the assignments for the chars, stages, music, and order?

I'm not sure what exactly are you referring to.
If you are referring to my part about the spaces...

You don't need to worry about spaces for order assignment since you don't have to enter any file names for order.

If you're talking about the actual sequence to place the assignments in...

I'm lead to believe that nearly any order will work.
I'd guess that characters must go first, then stages.
After that music, order and includestage assignments can go after in any sequence.

I meant to say if I need to put a space between a comma and the next input in the order. Like this:

Mario, stages/MushroomKingdom.def, order=1

[vgma2]

The spaces for those is optional.
Having or not having them won't affect the way Mugen loads your characters and performs assignments.
If you're feeling a bit lazy, you don't have to put a space there.  But if you want to organize things a bit, you might want to put a space.
