How do I get this lifebar to work?

I've followed the tutorials to a T and it didn't work, then I had to settle on putting the file components into the data folder itself and that didn't work 

please help!

(P.S. I use 1.0)

did you check if it was meant to use with 1.1?, usually that is why it won't work, but if that isn't the case it may be that either you typed the name wrong when you added it to the mugen system file or you may have to change the name.

and just in case the tutorials weren't specific enough, you have to copy the name of the life bars then edit the system file in note pad and scroll to where it says 'Files" then paste the name of the file to where it says fight which should be right under "select", here's my system text configs as an example.

 

;----------------------------
[Files]
spr = system.sff          ;Filename of sprite data
snd = system.snd          ;Filename of sound data
logo.storyboard = loading.def        ;Logo storyboard definition (optional)
intro.storyboard = intro.def       ;Intro storyboard definition (optional)
select = select.def       ;Character and stage selection list
fight = Blue VF5 Lifebar/fight.def         ;Fight definition filename
font1 = f-4x6.def         ;System fonts
font2 = titf3.fnt
font3 = UMMCtitle.fnt
font4 = titf1.fnt
font5 = titf2.fnt
font6 = UMMCitem1.fnt
font7 = UMMCitem2.fnt
font8 = font/UMMCtitle.fnt
;----------------------------

 

once you add you life bar save and exit, then see if it work's in the game, i hope this helps.

the system file should be in your data folder, just look at the other comment with the example i demonstrated.

do I keep this? 

;font5.height = 36         ;Uncomment to override the size of the font (Truetype fonts only)

yes keep that, all you need to do is edit the fight setting by adding the name of the life bar, when you add it should look like this for example.

 

fight = bluelifebar/fight.def

 

then save and exit the note pad, also make sure you are opening the system def file not sff.

that's just the name of my life bars as an example to what you do, add the name of your life bars next to /fight.def

so I didn't need to copy down all of that, just put bluelifebar next to fight
