Ok, I've had some time to tinker around but I'm still hitting a wall. I tried unzipping several different characters and cutting and pasting their folders into the "chars" folder but it still only lets me pick Kung-Fu Man. I tested Boss Adelheid, Trol, and a Guilty Gear character. (Justice I think it was.) None of them worked. When I unzip them, there's a lot of subfolders in some of them. Boss Adelheid looks like this:
Adel-BOSS>Adel-Boss.def and 4 folders. (ACT, CNS, SFF, SND)
The character info is there, but it won't work. I also tried three of the Mugen assist tools.
- Mugen Watcher = Blank DOS? prompt.
- Quick Versus = Unable to run. Missing config file. There was only one file to download, and it was "quick-versus.exe". I tried dropping it into Mugen but got the same message.
- Random AI Battles = Works kinda. It contains a copy of Mugen Watcher in the files that does the same DOS prompt thing, but AI Battles seemed to work. It started a fight between the two Kung-Fu Men, but the Mugen I have has a watch feature. I'm not sure if I need AI Battles.
I didn't try the Danzy selector yet. When I downloaded it, I found tons of links to Danzy's YouTube channel. I may be able to find a tutorial there, or possibly ask the creator themself.
I appreciate all the help on this topic even though I'm probably frustratingly stupid about Mugen. Once I get it all figured out, I'll try to upload a finished version so other people can easily play it too. It might come in handy for other new people. I have all the right parts and programs, but I still can't figure out how to put it all together properly and make it fullscreen.
