conversion problem

[sgn15]

http://elecbyte.com/wiki/index.php/Updating_to_1.0

so i tried converting my winmugen pack to 1.0 (stable, not RC). i followed all instructions for updating motifs but i found the last one hard to understand

There are some "D4" (aka hi-res) motifs made for the 2002 version of MUGEN that require the "Doubleres = 4" parameter in mugen.cfg. Since 1.0 deprecated the Doubleres functionality in favor of coordinate spaces, you will need to update these motifs. Mostly, you may notice that the fonts are drawn too large. In fight.def and system.def, edit or add a scale parameter to all elements that are drawn too large. e.g. nothing -> "p1.name.scale = .5, .5" or "p1.name.scale = .5, .5" -> "p1.name.scale = .25, .25"

the error appearing is this

Error message: Can't load video config: [video]
Error reading data/mugen.cfg

i am using mugen ax screenpack by ares ax. help please

[sgn15]

sorry for double post. no one knows how to fix this? 

[-True-]

is difficult to guess, the error
so we ask that you upload your CFG please. 

[sgn15]

the mugen ax screenpack (that im trying to convert) only consists of the ff files:

select.def
system.def
system.sff
system.snd

so im using the default mugen.cfg that comes with the mugen 1.0 stable version

i did the instructions there

* Add the following lines to the [Info] section of system.def.

versiondate = 01,30,2010  ;Version date of motif (MM,DD,YYYY or X.XX) (replace with actual date)
mugenversion = 1.0        ;Version of M.U.G.E.N this motif works on (1.0)
localcoord = 320,240      ;Local coordinate space width and height

    * Add the following section to fight.def, e.g. after the [Files] section.

[FightFx]
scale = 1

but i dont understand this last one

anyway, here is the mugen.cfg [video] section contents anyway (default)

;-------------------------------------------------------
[Video]
;The video resolution defaults to the same as the game resolution.
;You can force an alternate resolution by uncommenting the lines
;below.
;Width  = 1280
;Height = 720

;This is the color depth at which to run MUGEN.
;Only 16 is supported at this time.
Depth = 16

;Set to 1 to enable vertical retrace synchronization. Do not enable
;if BlitMode = PageFlip.
;Not supported in 1.0.
VRetrace = 0

;Set to 1 to enable fullscreen mode, 0 for windowed.
FullScreen = 0

;Drawing mode
;Choose from Normal (fast) and PageFlip (less image "tearing")
BlitMode = Normal

;Screen rendering mode.
;System - default SDL rendering mode (e.g. windib in Windows)
;DirectX - DirectX 5 renderer
;OpenGLScreen - hack that allows window resizing but could be slow
RenderMode = System

[-True-]

no error in the video section, check the

;larger the number, the faster it goes. Don't use a value less than 10.

;This is 1 the first time you run MUGEN.
FirstRun = 0
1.0 mugen now there is another parameter to change the resolution, you may need to place that, that error does not occur.
if so,it says there an error in the Video, because the parameters (width and height), are being ignored by him ;

[sgn15]

there is no error with the mugen 1.0 now. it opens but the screenpack is still the same (default mugen 1.0 motif)

just to be sure, i tried overwriting the system (def, snd, and sff) and select.def files of the mugen 1.0 with those of the ax motif and still the same problem

[Riptide]

Well first did you end up with fonts that are too large. if you did everything but the doubleres thing that is what you should see.
Maybe you made a typo some how.

[sgn15]

so yeah just in case i did something that i overlooked myself.

from system.def

[Info]
name =Mugen Ax;Name of motif
author =Ares Ax
versiondate = 01,30,2010  ;Version date of motif (MM,DD,YYYY or X.XX) (replace with actual date)
mugenversion = 1.0        ;Version of M.U.G.E.N this motif works on (1.0)
localcoord = 320,240      ;Local coordinate space width and height

from fight.def

[Files]
sff = fight.sff
snd = fight.snd
font1 = jg.fnt
font2 = num1.fnt
font3 = name1.fnt
fightfx.sff = fightfx.sff
fightfx.air = fightfx.air
common.snd = common.snd

;-----------------------------------------------------------
[FightFx]
scale = 1

it still looks like the default motif for 1.0 stable version
