;Enter the width and height of the resolution you want to set here.
;The optimal resolution is 320x240, but if your video card has problems
;You may want to try 640x480.
Width  =320
Height =240

;This is the color depth at which to run MUGEN. You should set it to
;16 bit color unless your video card has problems with it.
;16-fastest, 24,32-slower, 8-slowest/worst
Depth =16

;Set this parameter to 0 to disable screen stretching, and set it to 1 if
;you want to scale it up to fit the current resolution.
Stretch =0

;Set this parameter to use a resolution-doubling filter. You will
;need a fast machine to use these filters. You will need to increase
;the screen resolution to at least 640x480 for these modes.
;0 - off
;1 - diagonal edge detection
;2 - bilinear filtering
;3 - horizontal scanlines

;Choose from "1" for VESA1, "Linear" or "Banked" for VESA2, and "3" for
;VESA3.
;Note: VESA1 is very slow on certain video cards, especially the newer

; Default is "Linear".

For the curious: making batch files...

Open up notepad (not wordpad) and type the text for the bat file into it. Then select save as, and save it as "Name.bat", where Name is the desired name of your file. Make sure to include the quotation marks: this will make it save the file as a BAT type, not TXT.

When you need to make changes to the BAT file, simply right click, and select Edit from the menu.

Adding characters in mugen for dummies
_________________________________________________ ________
Say you want to add the character svcKen.

1.  move the folder "svcKen" (Your character that you want to use) to the CHARS folder.  The CHARS folder is located in your main MUGEN folder.

2. Make sure that Ken's character directory/folder name is "svcKen" and that its .def file is also the same as your directory's/folder's name. The .def file is a file that is an ID card of sorts. It tells MUGEN what that character or stage is. Every character and stage has one.

So in this example, your directory/folder's name would be "svcKen" and your .def file would also be "svcKen.def"

To summarize:

your folder/directory name = svcKen
your character's .def name = svcken.def

Make sure that that is the case before you move on.

3. Now, goto the DATA folder of your mugen.

4. Open up the "select.def" file.

5. Scroll down where you see [Characters]

6. Right BELOW "[Characters]" and the " ;Insert your characters below.," Put "svcken" (without the quotation marks)

7. It should look something like this:

[Characters]
..
...
... (Bunch of text that actually tells you how to add characters )
..
...
;Insert your characters below.
kfm (<=== this should already be there)
svcken (<===this is the character you want to add)

8. Close and Save your select.def

9. That's it.

How to add a motif/screenpack to Mugen.

---

First extract the screenpack files into a new folder and name it whatever you want (You'll probably want to name it as the screenpack)

Then move that folder to the DATA folder.

Open mugen.cfg and find the motif= line , and change it as follows:

Quote

;motif= system.def ;Default Motif
motif= data/yourfoldernamehere/system.def

You can add several lines to organize your screenpacks, and remeber to add a ";" to your inactive screenpacks to avoid errors like so:

inactive: ;motif =

active: motif=

I have just downloaded mugen so how do I get better people.

- Google them.  Don't ask for characters here, unless you want a 'thrashing'.

Quote

And how do you do the moves I can't find the move list.

- Look for a readme.txt or some other document of some kind in that character's folder.  Any creator should have included a movelist.
