How to Play MUGEN Online | eHow.com

I ran across this particular program and I think it's a good idea. Think of it: A way to play MUGEN over the internet. I'd like to try this with someone. Any Volunteers? Leave your e-mail address in the comments if you are interested in trying some online matches. There is a link below to see how to pull this feature off. Here is an idea, we can organize an online MUGEN tournament. If you are interested, please volunteer in the comment section.

IDIOT's guide to M.U.G.E.N.

I came across the following link  For anyone interested in making their own characters for MUGEN such advice is invaluable. Another important thing is that with any type of programming it's important to collect as many tips and tricks as possible. You never know what you will need or when you will need it. Thankfully, many folks of in the community of MUGEN developers - artists, spriters, and coders -  and players as well enjoy sharing their expertise and experiences.

Sprite Tutorial by The Arlequin

At CVG United, we are fortunate to have some very talented people. One of the Team CVG members we are lucky to be involved with is The Arlequin. He posted this Sprite Tutorial recently in the forums and I figure it would be a good place here too. English is not his native language, so pardon any grammar and spelling issues please.

This is the final result of Dante, from Dante's Inferno. To check out the forum thread on all this, go here: Sprite Tutorial with The Arlequin

And did you check out the images of Spawn from his sig I posted at the beginning of this article? Well, he's coming soon :)

MUGEN Tutorial - Manuallly Controlling Characters

Image via Wikipedia

I've recently been asked how to setup MUGEN so that characters can be controlled by human beings. I decided to share my answer in case anyone else needs it. Here is the way question is phrased:

Subject: Mugen

hello Marcus
a question
i have some mugen characters that controlled only the cpu
do you know how can i controll them?
othe thing
i have some stages that don't work for me
do you know how to fix it??
thank you and bless

Well, Carlos the keey is the Options menu. The Program is first designed to be controlled using Keyboard stokes, but I find that difficult So I prefer to use a USB control pad. You can't use the joystick/gamepad until you have to set MUGEN to use it. Here is how you set it up:

Getting Started With Mugen

I've gotten a couple of requests on my YouTube channel for information on how to get started in Mugen. I have been studying Mugen for the past 19 months. I've learned a lot. Everything you need is on the Internet even tutorials. In my research I have found some rumors that Mugen is dead and no one is doing anything new with it. This is not true in the slightest. One of the things that I like the most about Mugen is that it's truly international. You have development of characters, stages, and tools going on all over the planet: United States, France, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Philippines, and many other countries. And the work being done is truely exceptional! So here are some sites that I would suggest newbies would visit to learn how to put mugen games together, pre-made games to downloads, and great places to find characters.

Resources
http://mugen.en.softonic.com/ - is where you need to go to find the mugen game engine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.G.E.N - is where you need to go for general information.
Fighter Factory - is where you need to download a great program for designing your own mugen characters, very visual, and more like an Integrated Development Environment
Mugen Editing Ensemble - is another software suite for making mugen characters
Mugen.cfg File Editor for Windows - cfg files are configuration files for mugen games, this tool allows easy editing of that file.
Open Mugen 1.1 - Another version of the Mugen version with open source code.
