Rage about m.u.g.e.n!

[DeathColdUA]

Hi everyone!

So yeah, the name of the topic speaks for itself. I just wanted to spill out some RAGE that is in me, about m.u.g.e.n, cause most of the time it pisses me of! And i wanna start all this with the fact that, there is nothing simple with mugen. First of all, the configuring the mugen. You see, you can't just go, put your favorite screenpack in to mugen, click on it one time and had fun. If you want to put together your own game, then prepare to suffer. I mean, i tried to configure Super Street Fighter 2 screenpack, changing the size of character slots, to make them biger and look the same as in original game. But guess what! After changing cell.size = line, it didn't even changed the size of the slots. It only change the space between them, but not their size. Why? Why in the living world it does not, if the line literally says CELL.SIZE??? And so yeah, i decided to google it out and, turns out, to change their size, you have to change like 20 or 25 different lines in system.def file, or else there will be no change to the size of the character slots. And that pisses me off A LOT! Like, if you creating a new line for your game engine, and you calling it CELL f%cking SIZE, then make it work the way it should. The way it was called. Make it possible for that line to change the f%cking size of the slots JUST WITH THAT F%CKING LINE!!! Was that too damn hard for Elecbyte to do, to make mugen work properly or what??? But that is just one thing that pisses me of in mugen. 

The other thing that pisses me of, is the fact that, you can't just make a random image in, like, Paint, and put it in your mugen, by changing the current image. You have to download photoshop, you have to decode that image in specific colors, and only then your image will work and will be possible to put it in to mugen. Like, WTF, why? WHY, IN THE NAME OF GOD, DO YOU DO THAT, ELECBYTE, WHY?? Why do you have to make all hard and not ONE CLICK easy? Was that too hard to allow mugen to see EVERY KIND of image, that you want to put in to it or what? Can somebody explain it to me, cause i'm so pissed of that my brain doesn't want to think right now. And yes, i tried, for example, making my own portrait for, like, Ryu from Street Fighter for the mugen, and changing the one that was in that character, to the one that i made. And guess what? Right: THE IMAGE WAS NOT SHOWING UP IN MUGEN!!! Then i asked one of my friends and, guess what again? You right! He said that, in order to make your image work, you have to save it through photoshop, with specificl colors, or else it will not work. This is straight up some bullshit! I don't get it, why do you have to make everything hard with this engine, and why it can't just work like it should, i have no freaking idea.

Another thing that pisses me of about mugen, is that, you can't find the content that you want for mugen. You see, recently i was trying to find some characters for Mortal Kombat Project Season 2 Final, that was made by borg117 for the mugen. And those characters was like super cool but super rare. But i found them, and guess what? Most of them were only working on the old version of MK Project, and not on the one that i have, which is the latest one. And then i started to search all around for those characters, to download them and put them in my game, but guess what? There was only a videos about the characters that i needed, but no freaking download link. Seriously, man, this is not fair. I mean, if people created characters for the mugen and posted a videos about their work, then why not share those characters with everyone? Why don't you just put a download link somewhere, point the people's nose in to that link and forget about it. Why?? Why do you have to make it impossible to find those characters? And because this situation, i decided that i will find, no matter what, those characters, download them, and put them all somewhere, where i can access them any time i like. And even if i lost them, for some reason, so i would be able to easily find and download them. Cause it is not fair, when you find only a video, about this or that character that you need for the mugen, but with no download link. And i wanted to make it fair. 

And the last thing that pisses me of about mugen, is the fact that, you can't make any fighting game on this engine, IF you don't know how to code that shit. Thus, if you are not a programmer, and you don't understand how to write a code for it, then you basically can't do nothing with that engine. And this fact makes me wanna trash mugen and forget that it exists. But sadly, i can't, because this is the only fun thing in the gaming world that i can do. Cause i have a old PC and i don't have money to buy a new one. And so, the only way for me to have fun, is to play the old stuff, or just to get mugen, put it all together and enjoy your time. Otherwise, my free life time will be boring. 

So yeah. Now, that i talked about all this shit, that makes me wanna destroy mugen engine, i now feel better. Thanks for everyone, who was reading this all crap that i'm talking about here.
