small Problem converting dos chars

[Gosunkugi]

Heya. Relatively new to coding so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

I recently downloaded two old characters, notably an XMVSF Ken and a KOF97 Athena.

I tried the dos2win converter on Ken and I got him working fine except for the fact that when he falls, he doesn't hit the ground and remains in a locked state.



So I had a go of Athena myself, painstakingly going through the code and updating it. I learned a lot and got her working to the same level.

When she's hit and falls, I get the same problem though, total lock-up.

Anyone know how to fix this?

i have a question to ask you if you dont find me rude for intruding on your topic. i downloaded the dos2win converter but i dont know if it works or not. iused to have a mugen where it works but since i have a new cpu i got a new mugen. however the dos2win converter doesnt work. you seem to know alot about this so do you know what i can do?

Well, i dunno. I've just been updating new patches when and where they come out. I think my latest one is the 2003 winmugen.

As for the dos2win, it's there more for patching characters really. By putting the application in the character's folder you want to update, it'll change their air, cns and cmd files to be winmugen compliant, some terms in the character coding got changed. This is needed for quite old, dos based characters, which to be honest, are getting quite rare now, not a lot of people bother with them anymore. if they're windows versions, you won't need to touch them. I bet 80% of people who mess with mugen don't even have dos2win on their computer.

But as you can tell from my first post, I'm still having issues with it.

My advice is track down the latest build of winmugen, stick to recent characters from reputable websites for now. If you really need an old character to complete your roster, ask around, we'll point you to a site which hosts it or send it your way via email.
