Can´t Continue

[Blue_Falcon]

Hi everyone. This is my first post in this forum. I just wanted to see if any of you could help me with a problem I'm having with winmugen.


Well the thing is that whenever I get killed, if I continue, an error that says "can't open stage" takes place.


This is a specially annoying problem as I am doing a mugen with its own storyline, but if you get killed you have to start over, and it is pretty easy to get killed with characters such as Evil_ken or Maximov.

Thanks for your help

Welcome to the Mugen Fighters Guild!

First of all, could you tell us the error that came with it word by word? It seems the problem is more with a specific stage.

[Cybaster]

This is an old problem with the random stage you may have put for characters.

The new mugen hacks should solve the problem.
Or, you could simply assign a stage to each character you fight in arcade mode.

[Blue_Falcon]

Well, the error says exactly:

Error message: Can't open stage


About the random stage thing, I don´t know. Cause the stage is loaded the first time I fight, but if I die and continue, 100% of times the error takes place. Although, it IS true that it doesn't happen with characters that have a stage assigned.

Where do I get those hacks you are talking about?

Then it's definitely the problem I'm talking about.

I believe this last hack by rouhei fixes the problem. Though I'm not sure anymore, since I'm now used to assigning a stage to each character.

There are also high-res hack to have high-res stages and/or high-res select screens. Go to randomselect to get them.

[Blue_Falcon]

Well, I already tried the patch, but the same happens.

Any other idea?. I'd like to keep the random stages for the characters if possible

[Animugen]

What stages do you have in your game?

[Blue_Falcon]

I don't think the problem is with an specific stage, as it happens no matter what stage you are in, and I don't think that all my stages are broken. The thing is that it DOES load them, but if I get killed and continue the error takes place.

Anyway, I'll post my stages as soon as I get home

[Animugen]

You might have to look into the Data folder and look up the Fight.def.I think I saw something in there about game over.   

[Blue_Falcon]

I changed the fight.def for one of a mugen that doesn't have the same problem, and it still remains, so I don´t think that the problem is there either.

[Cybaster]

No, as said, the problem comes from mugen itself.

There was a workaround with naming a stage random and putting it in the main mugen folder, but I can't remember it anymore.

So either you don't lose anymore, either you assign a stage to each opponent.

[Blue_Falcon]

OK, I'll see what I can do, thanks for your help

[kennystyle33]

yeah i used to have the same probelm too. if u want them to have random stages, dont type in random

for example: Iori, , order = 2

without order: Iori

hope it helps cause it works for me

[hattori hanzo]

do you have it set up like this?

sean, random

?
or like this
sean
9 out 10 you dont have it set up like the first example it might mess up

[Blue_Falcon]

I have tried both kinds of setups and it still messes up

[Animugen]

Why not try redownloading mugen and see what happens.

[Cybaster]

bcause he's done it several times already I guess.
The new rouhei hack must have reintroduced this bug...

[Animugen]

Have you went into the game over Def File to see what's up?

[Blue_Falcon]

I don't want to download it again because I have edited part of the screenpack.

I know I could pass it to other MUGEN, but 1)is a pain in the ass, and I already have enough work with my current kind of project; and 2)if I have learnt something while using mugen all these years is that, if an error shows up, it will show up again, and again until you solve it.


I didn't look in the game_over.def though, Animugen, I thought you told me to look in the fight.def. I'll try that next. If it doesn't work I guess I'll have to temporaly give up and pass all my data to other MUGEN.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys

[Blue_Falcon]

The problem doesn't seem to be in the gameover.def either. I have compared it with the one of a MUGEN that works and they are identical.

I guess I'll have to configure a new MUGEN from the very beginning again.
