how do you make mugen Hi-res?

[reezy718]

I wanted to know how can I make my mugen hi res?I downloaded a hi res stage from here and it looks like Im playing in the sky.(http://www.infinitymugenteam.com/Forum_345/index.php?topic=6023.msg77133#new)

Is there anyway I can make my mugen Hi res without having to download a whole new mugen,screenpack etc.?? 

[nick09]

if you resize sprites and other stuff it will.

o ok nevermind.That sounds like a lot of work .Thanks again though for the help

[Hattori hanzo]

it depends because some stages have very little sprites to work with.. only thing you are doing is resizeing the pics

[reezy718]

ok I opened the sprites in mugen fighter factory.what size do I set the sprites too?

here's the size its set at now: Group:20          Image:0
                                              X Axis -20          Y Axis -200

[nick09]

that is to adjust the position of the sprite, not to resize it.

just save all sprites as PCX and resize them by 2x.

then realign all the sprites.

ok now Im kinda lost here.I think I saved all sprites as pcx.(click the pcx button).
Now what do you mean by resize them by 2 and realign the sprites?
how do I do that?

[reezy718]

Can somebody please help me out with this 

[nick09]

you will need a image editing program.

by 2x i mean resize the sprites by x2

so if you have a sprite that is 500px in width times by 2 it would be 1000

aight so do I increase the X axis or the Y axis?
Also can u tell me where can I get an image editing program from?

ok i did that.am i suppose to do something else?I tried loading it but im still having the same error with the stage

[nick09]

in fighter factory make sure you click in sprites--> covert all PCX to 256 colors.

make sure you replaced every sprite and realign.

where is covert all pcx to 256 colors?i dont see that button.nick can you do me a big favor and fix the stage for me?I uploaded my screenpack on sendspace.just download it and fix that stage for me.its the spidey stage.This is getting too confusing and Im wind up messing something up .here's the link:


http://www.sendspace.com/file/vi71kg

[nick09]

click the word sprites and go to Convert all to 256 colors.

aight i did it but i still need instructions on how to use gimp and resize the sprites.I need direct instructions,i need to know what menu to go to and everything .seriously though,I have no idea what Im doing.how many sprites am i suppose to resize?


one sprite is 23 x 11
so if i double it does that means it has to be 42 x 22


please let me know cuz i been trying to figure this out since i made this thread 

[reezy718]

yo Nick stop ignoring my topic.you helping everybody else out but me.whast going on buddy.why do u keep bypassing this

[nick09]

i just did not notice this for a bit of time <_<

one sprite is 23 x 11
so if i double it does that means it has to be 42 x 22

yes that is what it means.

now once you opened your image.

go to image-->Scale image

at the bar that says pixels next to the bars of width and height.

click the bar to select percent.

then select the width and height to 200%

then click scale to resize it.

then to make sure its 8-bit.

go to image-->mode-->indexed...

a window will open select convert and there you go your sprite is resized.

ok I resized the sprites.it was about 8 of them.do i have to resize the blank sprites too?it  was 8 that shows part of the stage but 42 all together.
Also how do I realign the sprites?I need instructions on how to do that too

yes all the sprites.

after you done that replace the old sprites in fighter factory.

how to realign:(in fighter factory)

go to sprites:


whatever number is in those bars above you double them.

so for example the X axis above would be 260 double. and the Y axis would be zero since all numbers times 0 is 0.

got it?

in the sprites area find this icon:


with that button you can change sprites.

[ClubSyN-X-TReME]

you can use hi res scaling in the fight.def for the lifebars to be high res in regular and hi res mugen.

but the life bars have to be almost twice the size of length of the default mugen window size. (320x240)

[Hattori hanzo]

yes dude overwrite them.. and u have to line them up right.. because the size double so you should know how to line it up
