Cancel/Back button code/key map

[rewalker3]

I've searched FAQ's for this, and all say that it's not possible to make a cancel/back button that's not the esc key, without negating the esc key, but I know there has to be a way to do it. The only way I can think of right now is to actually decompile MUGEN and add it in the code, and that's not going to happen.

Launch a simple winbatch script that listens for a keypress that returns the escape key.

what do you mean by winbatch script. I think I know but not very sure.

I'll look into it and see if I can get it to work.

partial what I thought - looks like we need to tell it that so and so message should activate a command. such as "EXIT"
...but I need to study meh C++ to learn the correct commands. It also seems like there is only a few commands scripted into mugen a la the ones you usually find in docs.

Also with the cancel button, it'd have to be disabled in fights, or we'd have to map a pause button with a menu that gives you the option to resume or exit, which I think would be a good idea.

I found a guy over on KingAnon's Mugen Kingdom forum who claims to know a little about C++ so we'll see what happens. I'd love to be able to have this feature added to MUGEN.

Yeah the pause screen thing is one of my goals.

  can't wait to see what we can come up with.
