Unskippable Vs Intro?

[Skull_Kingz]

Okay, I've tried over and over. I know it's possible, but I have yet to figure this thing out.
Memo created a system that lets you create a unskippible Vs Intro. I played his CVS Alpha game and I've read over the tutorial, but I can't seem to make it work.

Maybe it's the character that I'm using? I tried download K' from Kof 2002.

No matter how much I follow the tutorial, I just end up with a buggy piece of crap. :/
Can any of you guys help me out. Maybe rewrite Memo's tutorial with a little more details for a Mugen newbie.
I've tried over and over again to make him compatible, but it's just not happening.

Ok first thing is to open your lifebars def file and set the
start.waittime to 0 and the ctrl.time to 520.
also i altered the animations for the rounds since i have my
own in the fightFX file.
over.wintime and over.time is set to 450. slow.time is set to 60.

Now lets go to the statedef 5900 section in the common1.cns.
I got this trigger in there

[State 5900, Intro]
type = changestate
trigger1 = roundno = 1
value = 190
ctrl = 0

It goes into state 190 on round 1, its a state that last 0 ticks,
it has these assert special triggers in there so the transition
into the vs screen Statedef 191 is clean.

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 190
flag = nobardisplay

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 190
flag = nomusic

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 190
flag = timerfreeze

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 190
flag = nobg

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 190
flag = nofg

Now we are in the VS state, Statedef 191. 191 has the same assert
special triggers as 190 and it includes the explode effects and
all that fancy stuff for the vs screen background and char animations.
At the end of 191 explodes and snd are made for the begining of round 1.
After 400 ticks it goes into the character intro states, each
char only has 2 basic intros and about 1-3 char specific intros
that are activated out of the basic intros if the conditions are met.
Trigger for my intros in 191.

[State 180, intro]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = animTime = 400
value = 9889 + (random%2)
ctrl = 0

My intro states are 9889 and 9890,  they also have the same assert
special triggers as the previous states. I also removed the intro
assert special trigger from the intro states. after the intros are over
we go into state 192, this is a state that puts the chars into a
standing animation and has the same assert special triggers as the
others.  After 180 ticks the fight starts!  Once you or the enemy
are in statedef 5150 the lay dead state we go into state 180 the
win state decider. I put this trigger in statedef 0, the standing
state for this to work. Trigger2 is so if you get a cheap KO it
does not bug out and no win pose happens.

[State 0, WinState]
type = ChangeState
trigger1=(enemy, stateno=5150&&time=70)
trigger2=(enemy, prevstateno=5950||stateno=5150&&time=90)
value=180
ctrl=0

Win states are 181 and 182, also with the the same assert special
triggers besides the nomusic. I had to loop the final frame of
the chars win pose with a time of 1 for this to work properly.
After 450 ticks we go into state 194 with this trigger in my
win pose states. Also remove the roundnotover assert special from
your win states!

[State 0, ChangeState]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = time=450;!animtime
value =194
ctrl = 1

State 194 has these triggers includin one that tells mugen the round
is over in 1 tick when we get there.

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = time < 1
flag = roundnotover

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 194
flag = nofg

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 194
flag = nobg

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 194
flag = nobardisplay

[State 190, AssertSpecial]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = stateno = 194
flag = timerfreeze

Ok now back to statedef 5900, this trigger takes us into a round
transition state(statedef 9111) so we dont look at the chars
for 500 ticks before the round starts. also has those fancy
assert special triggers i use for the other states. It
releases the explodes and sound for round 2 in the end. 

[State 5900, Round 2]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = Roundno = 2
value = 9111
ctrl = 0

after 400 ticks we go into state 193 its like 192 just a state that
puts us in the standing animation before the round starts. Trigger
that gets us there from state 9111

[State 0, ChangeState]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = AnimTime = 400
value = 193
ctrl = 0

If you go into a 3rd round we go into another round transition.
we go back into State 5900, this trigger activates the transition
into round 3 its just like the round 2 transition with different
round animation and sound.

[State 5900, Round 3]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = Roundno = 3
value = 9112
ctrl = 0

Final Round Song, this trigger activates statedef 9113, it changes
the song for round 3,  I put this trigger in the -2 statedef section.

[State -2,FINALROUND]
type = Helper
trigger1 = NumHelper(9113)=0
trigger1 = roundno = 3
trigger1 = teammode = single || teammode = simul
trigger1 = enemy,teammode = single || enemy,teammode = simul
id = 9113
name = "FINAL-ROUND"
pos = -8000,-8000
postype = P1
stateno = 9113
helpertype = normal
keyctrl = 0
ownpal = 1
ignorehitpause = 1
supermovetime = 999999
pausemovetime = 999999

I also put this in the -2 statedef section to make sure the bars are
not visable during a win pose.

[State -2, NO BAR DISPLAY DURING WIN POSE]
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1=stateno=[180,182]
flag = nobardisplay


So thats pretty much it! Its recommended for a full game only
so you dont have to edit the crap out of all your chars for it
to work,  the only code inside of the chars are the intro and win
pose states, everything else is in the common1.cns file. The
sounds and animations i use are in the fightFX.sff and snd files.

This method is different from the one RedNavi uses in his
KOF:NEST CONCLUSION game (we probally wont ever see) according to
his full game coding guide he wrote a couple years back.

I still didnt find a way to completely remove control so you could
skip the vs and round transition states if your button mashing,
but hopefully i will soon and maybe some of you veterans can help
me out to optimize and improve this method so it could be 100%
unskippable!

Well i hope you guys enjoy this little demo of my compilation/full
game/pratice project whatever and use what you want for your project
if you want, no need to ask me for permision, i like to share stuff
i learn so im happy if you do.

Peace out.

I read somewhere that Rednavi said something about switching your character to Roundstate 2 and activating a intro from there. I don't really know how to go about doing so.

[Cyanide]

He states at the bottom of that rather bad tutorial that you can still skip things. Which makes sense, because that's an intended function and you can't stop the intro being skippable. What you have to do is allow the intro to complete instantly and enter the fight phase. Then freeze the timer and use helpers to display the rounds and fight animations and play the sounds. Both players will go through their intro at this point which is in roundstate 2 so you can't stop it.

It's a terrible workaround because many people would prefer to skip intros after they'd seen them once.

[O Ilusionista]

Yes, Cyanide's idea is way better an easier to add. Its just a matter to stop the time and put the animations you want.
You can use the normal intro to simulate that custom versus screens like in Megaman, where the boss jumps on the screen.
