Some of you out there, are not aware of changing things in mugen. Let alone, be literate enough, to get it set like you want. The list will go, as follows. (NOTE!: You will be making use of the search feature. A LOT. so pay attention to parts that actually use it. You will end up saving yourself time, and me a headache trying to explain, further than this.

Also. To skip through this post faster, use the Search feature in your browser as well. Same keys, like you would use in notepad (Ctrl+F), and just put Chapter (whatever part you plan on looking for.

Chapter 1 - Adjusting the number of rounds, per match

This is quite simple, and less time consuming than you think. Do the following below.

1. Open the fight.def of the lifebar that you are currently using (notepad or notepad++ is fine in this instance).

2. On your keyboard, press Ctrl+F to bring up the search feature.

3. Once you do, type in the name "Round" or "Rounds" and press Enter in your keyboard. You will then be brought to the area of the fight.def, that contains the said adjustment.

4. Adjust to your liking, and then click "File" then select "Save" and that's it.

See? was that hard at all? I didn't really think so. So, on to the next part of this tutorial.

Chapter 2 - Portrait switching.

This is yet, another short tutorial. This also takes less time, than you think. It would help, if you're actually "Reading" what I'm putting. Because there is no need to Pm me, about something, already here listed. So, with that said, do the following below. (with pictures)

1. Find the portrait that you plan on using, for the character you want to use it on (if the character has no portrait, then you will have to add it, by adding the portrait in, and using state def 9000. This is only covering how to change it).

2. Place the picture in any image editing software, that allows you to switch it over to .pcx files (Take note, that you will still end up with a picture, that most likely has a solid background color. for this, you will need to know how to make that color transparent. I already covered this, in a previous tutorial. Which can be found, by Clicking the highlighted text. Read ALL of it, before continuing).

3. Once you have what you need, and have it set like you want. Open Fighter Factory, and open the said character that has the portrait you wish to change. (For this, we will use zzzasd's Blue Mary Ryan, as an Example. It can be seen, from the picture below.

NOTE!: If the color that you chose as the transparent color, is not coming up as one. Then you still need to pick the proper color. Time, trail & error is going to be needed here. Before you get it right.

Chapter 3 - Debug Key Usage

This alone, I don't consider to be a real chapter. But, it's the only way, for one to understand, how do the said keys work in mugen, to give it's desired effect. The list is as follows (Use this list, as a reference, to test it out for yourself).

The following hotkeys are for debugging purposes.

Key Function

--- --------

F1 Sets Player 2's life to zero

Ctrl-F1 Sets Player 1's life to zero

F2 Sets both players' life to 1

Ctrl-F2 Sets Player 1's life to 1

Shift-F2 Sets Player 2's life to 1

F3 Gives both players full power

F4 Reset the round

Shift-F4 Reloads stage, characters and fight data

F5 Time Over

F12 Take a screenshot (saved to mugen?.pcx)

Ctrl-C Toggles display of collision boxes, target data (including

remaining juggle points) and NotHitBy attributes

Ctrl-D Toggles debug information display

Ctrl-I Forces both players into stand state

Ctrl-L Toggles display of the life and power bars

Ctrl-S Run the game as fast as possible

Ctrl-V Enable V-sync (stops "shearing")

Ctrl-# (where # is from 1-4) Toggles AI for the #th player

Ctrl-Alt-# (where # is from 1-4) Enables/Disables the player

Space Restores full life and power to all players

Most are not even aware, that this can be found, directly in the readme file in Mugen's main directory (the folder where you actually run mugen). Then again, nobody really read it anymore. so, it has to be put in a format, that doesn't require opening a file. Which is pointless to not open it.

I will add more chapters. As time moves on. Or, whenever I have free time.
