1: is it possible to make your own soundtrack for mugen? If so can you give me a link to a tutorial or tell me how?

2: one of my friend downloaded an addon making mugen online multiplayer, with and extremly simple setup.
he just pushes a bottun and a few moments later he is online chatting in a parachat like chat room. he opens a channel up and the fight begins. now of course i could just ask him, but unfortunately when it comes to games he stands by this saying. "FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF NOOB!!"

3:Since Elecbytes back is there going to be any changes?

M.U.G.E.N is online? 

..

[xioncody]

your reaction is the same as many others online today. all i know is that the online thing comes with a screenpack. that once downloaded it allows you to connect to a small server for online matches. i was hoping someone would know where to get it.
LOL i know how much you people hate the term Rare , but i would consider this addon rare to the max. i am guessing only 40 or so people have it, and thats why nobody has heard of it.

1. Yes it's possible, it's like making any other music file for it. Just find a tutorial on how to make soundtracks then use it on Mugen.

2. I think you mean Infinity Cat(this is a different engine), if there was an addon for online mode on the Mugen engine, then most likely many people/everyone would be talking about it. If he says

"FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF NOOB!!"

I wouldn't call him my friend, what a jerk.

OK, i am now looking for the soundtrack tuts.

It wasn't infinitycat (wasn't that japanese only?), it was mugen. and as for the chatroom, i dont know much about it, it could be kaillera. I just don't know.

I a already have seen the elecbyte page. it doesn't say much about mugen, just that there doing something new. i meant more along the lines of, because they are back we should.....kind of stuff. meh it wasnt to important i was just wondering if anything is going to change.

There is no soundtrack tutorial. A soundtrack can be:

1. A selection of premade music all compiled into a "package" (i.e. games, movies)

or

2. A selection of music you made yourself compiled into the game/movie.

What you really need to do is, if you're going for #1 is:

Find a big range of music/songs (preferably with permission and/or have it shortened and quality reduced. I am assuming you're doing this for private use)
Fit them into parts of your game.
Make sure you pick a variety of songs/background music. This should fit to parts of your game, i.e. character's stages music, opening themes, ending themes, character select themes.*

*This does NOT mean you can go and ravage your favourite CD of rap, rap, rap, rap, emo, rap, rap, emo, emo, emo tracks. Too many times have I downloaded games and it's nothing but that for every single fucking bit of the "game".

Official character themes are OK, but it's up to you. (i.e. if you have Ryu, you can use Ryu's theme from ... Street Fighter Alpha 3). Completely up to you.

Now if you choose to go #2, you will have to -make- your own music which is completely different from making the soundtrack. Only once you have made your music it will be possible to make your own soundtrack. Don't know if you have the resources to do so though.

Even as a fan of rap, I have to agree that most don't make for good fight music.

Don't say all, because that means you haven't heard enough rap.

No of course not, I just meant it in the IF in the context of 99% of the track is rap. A bunch is fine, but not 99% of it.

[じゆう]

Whats wrong with RAP?  ???

DMX & Ice Cube - Eye of the Tiger (remix)

Now thats a good fight song on mugen.

[xioncody]

all i wanted was to make it so mugen plays songs from a list at random etc.
and i got a couple of good ones (screw rap and emo), one winged angel (its a must, i got ff7 AC cloud) , disturbed, demon hunter, cradle of filth, within temptation, and good ole static x.

Then, in that case, it would basically be impossible. Each stage is assigned one music track only. Your one solution would be to have multiple copies of the same stages each assigned a music track.

[xioncody]

that would work, would just adding a # at the end of each copy work, and are you sure there isnt a way to randomize from a selection. i am betting there is a way if i try hard enough or talk with the right people. sigh....so i might never get to make my dream setup. also does anyone have a link to a good stage making program or a link to a easy to use tutorial?

[「ⒻⓊⒸⓀⓎⒺⒶⒽ」]

Well you could have:

stage1a.def
stage1b.def
stage1c.def

and so on ...

Each of the stages being the same stage but with a different background music. (Where "stage" is the name of your stage, i.e. CvS2Londona ... CvS2Londonb)

If you have random stages for all characters, then it will truely be random. I don't know about adding a "#" so it's best to stick with something simple like I mentioned above to stop MUGEN throwing up errors. Some people like to have stages assigned to characters, so it can't be randomed there.

There are plenty of ways I could think of, but then you'll be required to embed tracks into characters and modify them and such and each character would probably grow 200mb in size by the end of it.

[xioncody]

no no you got my idea right, the # means number, i was going to number each one differently. so what do i need to do to change what song a stage uses.

[「ⒻⓊⒸⓀⓎⒺⒶⒽ」]

Do you know how to put a song you want into a stage first?

[xioncody]

.........no........dangit am such a noob.....
