Hello! I come here to release some sort of compatibility add-on thingy, I am not sure if this is the appropiate section so move it if you want.
These lifebars is the thing I wanted to show and share, basically they are some sort of fun and quirky lifebar that I recreated from the game Bart's Nightmare into MUGEN just for fun, included in the file there will be the files necessary, they use the following sprite groups: 31223, 31224 and 31230.
If you do want to add these lifebars into your MUGEN characters (essentially, be compatible with this lifebar thingamajic) You should add this code:
And then add in statedef -3:
After adding the code into your character, it's time to add the rest of the resources, first, to add the sprites you need, import the groups 31223 and 31224 (in fighter factory, go to Project > New > Empty > Character, then go to Sprite > Open and find the sprite file for this thing, then open the air file in the Animations tab, and then the SND file (if you wish to add the lifebar sounds)), then add the animations into your character(s) (via text mode or importing), and then the sounds (via importing).
After all that's done, if you wish to add some face portraits like Lilith there, you can use the sprite 31223,66 included as a template, and thus, crop some facial expressions for your character, and even your own! Remember it's 6, one for each health tier.
Why did I share this?
You might be thinking, MUGEN's lifebars are fine, why are you doing this? Well I wanted to just make a little thingy in the mean time that I can use in my MUGEN vids and I wanted to share my work as well, besides I'm wondering if you guys will make some stuff for this, it's not very hard to implement other than just using fighter factory's importing features and voila. You can even change the palettes for the lifebar to suit your fancy, so go crazy!
Welp, here are the files:
