This is some software i found by accident, you can download lots of characters, stages (its a fighting game),main menu graphicsm you can customise everything!!!! it's like making a hole new game insted of marvel vs capcom, why not DBZvscapcom?, or street fighter vs simpsons? or waku waku Vs kof? you can also make your own characters with lots of combos and atacks (not a easy job though) It's a dos program and if your computer is fast enough you can also enhance graphics just like the snes9x!!!!(cos without this graphics have quite some pixels....strange enough the light efects don't)....
want any screen shots? here goes...

i know there are another progs that also do this (kof95 or 94 comes to my mind) but this one has better graphics than those...like it? i wopuld post the link but it would sound like i wanted to advertise the program.... if you search in google or something like that you will be sure to find it... (less than 1mb) characters from 100kb to 5.0mb depending on the detail...

Where did you get this GEO ???

Try www.mugen4ever.com (http://www.mugen4ever.com).

You can download the game engine, some screenpacks (changes how the life bar, vs screen, etc etc looks like), and most importantly TONS of backgrounds and characters!

And no, I don't work for them, I just think it's a neat lil' program. Very solid game engine, IMHO.
:D

Well, there are several other progs based on mugen, too. one was a hentai fighter (by the way it looked, it didn't seem be a good game), another was Vampire Savior vs. Marvel, and that looked good.

Also, where'd u get all those fighters, GEO?

If you guys want more info on this, then come to the land of make believe (http://www.neoragex.com/yagamifury/)

But I want to know one thing, has anyone made a finished game with m.u.g.e.n.

FINALmasa

I've known about it for awhile. I just haven't made anything, because I don't know where to start. Notable mention: RPGMaker2000.

I was thinking of making Ryu from the Breath of Fire series. Which one should I use?

Zell

July 19th, 2001, 13:12

It's a good idea us the BoF 4 Version , it's the best an make supers like Shadowwalk & Disembowel !!!! Nad how aboutan Mega Man X5 ?!?!? Waht are you favorit caracteres to be made ???

GEO

July 19th, 2001, 13:28

its great to see so much interest but beware!! making characters is very dificult!! It takes much time and if possible try to making them by starting with one already made, and try ripping that character from the games (example: in neorage x hit tab when playing and go the section where you can rip out graphics ( don't know the name for that option now))
Yes, there is a already made game its mugen 2 (look for it again) its 31mb :eek: and its all about dragonbal, has about 21 characters + 4 secret (although i modified the game to have about 60)
I also heard of i dbz Vs street fighter being made....
The program that i use to make characters is mcm 2.0 (look for it again)
Sorry if i didn't reply sooner but i'm having mid-terms and now it is a bad time...just one more week or so...
Zell i would be very very happy to make a site about this (this one the other about psxemu&benchmarks) but i'm still wainting for cable :( ( dam just 300 meters setting me apart from it, i have to wait till they make an extension to my residential area)

BTW those screenshots are not mine...i took them from some sites i visited...but a friend of mine has all those characters and more!

One more thing....thanks for the feedback! :)

GAH!
Well, then again, I can und3rstand. Venom is at least one meg if you download him.

Also, on the character screen, I noticed a slight difference between the two Mais in the middle. Can you tell us what that difference, or will it lock the subject?

Samor

July 19th, 2001, 15:44

LOL!
I assume that's the same Mai that is featured in Kof91 ;)

I tried a modified Mugen once (with loads of characters), it had very good gameplay, also on single player! It depends a lot on the characters you put in. The version I tried even had Tails in it, performing hadokens! w00t!

I planned on 'assembling' my own version from all the available characters & backgrounds, but that takes quite a lot of time (not really hard though)

As for making a character yourself....well, you have to have lots of time, skill and patience! And I don't have that (well, I have the patience).

firestarter

July 19th, 2001, 15:47

Which Mai? The one with, or the one without the strap on her shoulder? :D

I've try the DBZ characters, vs others ...
can get 50+ hits :eek: (..with kamehame-ha)

but the sound (bg music) was MIDI !

GEO

July 20th, 2001, 13:07

As i said those screenshot aren't mine so i cant tell you exactly, but i guess thereason why there are two mais is because he downloaded two versions of this character, like samor said, from different kof... there isn't only one version of a character made by someone, there are plenty... of course sometimes they are repeated, but is up to you to download the best one....:p
I am sure that if you(firestarter) look around you find those charaters and many more...There's even a mugen webring, so you can't miss it!

GEO

July 20th, 2001, 13:19

One more thing... Dragon Ball VS Street Fighter is out.. if you like it download at (and now i am posting the link): :D

http://www.emuitalia.com/supermugen/ --> enter the section over Giochi completi and there you go! (another window will open) ( and wait till you the pages loads, cos if you don't you wont see the download button (its a image)) --> for people with slow modems!

Samor

July 20th, 2001, 15:10

oh, btw...just FYI, Kof91 is a project similar to mugen, but not that advanced.

So, has anyone download a ton of characters, addons, etc, etc, and packaged it all into one zip yet? (hint hint)

Zell

July 22nd, 2001, 22:33

50 characteres , 20 BG and more to come in one week ?!!?
Does any body this characteres

Megaman x , Zero , Mai Joe Kim Ralf from (KoF 98 or 98) , and some more ????

Hadji

July 23rd, 2001, 09:57

Ok, since nobody said yes, I'll assume not. Does anyone have a place that can host a zip of a whole bunch of characters in a large zip?

GEO

July 23rd, 2001, 13:57

Hadji : that's my feeling exactly, the closer you get to that is those mugen ready games...these take about 35mb , one that had 200 chars would be like 300mb (assuming it also had several stages and mp3 musics), i guess not many people have the techincal resources to download this amout of data......assuming that one found i site to host the file!!!:eek:
Oh well, downloading by bits is not very bad...the exictement grows and it is more 'educative' as you learn more in each site you enter...
BTW another day i saw a layout wich could take 200 chars or more!!!!!!great, i downloaded it righ away!!! (just to say that it is possible)
One more thing..don't forget to set bilinear filter on by editing mugen cfg in the data folder, otherwise, the graphics really suck!!! and change the res to 640 x 480 ( i don't recomend higher resolutions)
One last thing ( i can't stop of talking of this sweet prog :D ) if anyone is making chars please take a look at those from this last dbz vs street fighter mugen those light efects are incredible!!! they are pictures but they sure don't look like it!!! I think photoshop can do this kind of effect ......please correct me...
Well that's all...for now....i'll let you know if i find something else that matters....and you do the same, Thanks...
Now is time to some epsxe action, bye!

July 23rd, 2001, 20:06

Hadji

July 24th, 2001, 09:49

It'd be sweet if the people who make characters and the like weren't anal. All of these people seem to refuse to allow others to host their characters, and then proceed to drop their sites. This leaves us with a bunch of dead links and no characters.

I'd be happy if even half of the links I've been checking actually had the characters they claimed to, rather than some geocities 404.

Hadji

July 25th, 2001, 08:36

Here's an idea for you.

Why don't we do some sort of mailing list or something where we can all list what characters we have/want, addons, stages, whatever. Then we can freely swap crap with eachother rather than digging through millions of dead links and dead end sites. Hell, I'd even be willing to have people email me (or perhaps use private messages here) lists for sorting and matching people up for swapping.

Anyone interested? I sure am. I'm getting sick of all this endless digging for nothing.

dukenukem

July 25th, 2001, 08:56

hey hadji i agree with you too,i have over 40 characters allready and am adding more stages,i have th marvelvs.capcom2 screenpack which allows up to 80 characters to choose from.

Zell

July 25th, 2001, 12:13

cool dukenukem , i got now 68 of them still need to find Kim of KOF , but could you post the sites where you found MM X ,would help me and the otheres !!!

what would be really nice is if someone made a prog like napster but aplyied to mugen!!! or we could use the ones that exist...did someone already tried to search mugen chars and stages in morpheus ( napster look alike but it hosts not only mp3 but anything) ?
we could easly share files that way, sugestions? oh and please anwser if you look in morpheus or any other prog like that and if you found anything. :)

I think they based the name on that. The real-world MUGEN is Honda's GT racing division, and also their parts division, where you can get some slick parts to honda cars.
