Updating to 1.0

[txrocker281]

So after a long run winmugen, I have decided to take the plunge to Mugen 1.0 RC8 but ran into some problems.
Now I am playing in the default res 
GameWidth = 1280
GameHeight = 720
and
Width  = 1280
Height = 720

I notice that my cvs2 lifebar looks terrible


and that some bg effects, in this case hiryu's (Splode) bg animation is sort of cut-off

Now, I know that if I set up to play on 640x480, those problems are resolved...but I just finishing setting up this select screen..and dont feel like tweaking it for HR again

Well, if you want to keep that edited default sp, then disregard the following. There are sp's for 1.0 that use 640x480 and use the characters default portraits. If you're interested I can point you to them. Also, old Lo-res screenpacks work great on 640x480.

The CvS bars you're using, are they hi-Res? If Yes do the following:
1) Open up the Def file and look for any lines that have "Scale = 0.5,0.5"  and change both 0.5 to 1. You'll have to do this for every line. EXCEPT for any "scale" under [Face]
2)Look for any lines that contain "Offset," "pos" and double every number. So if it says something like 24, change it to 48. Basically, multiply the original number times 2. Do this also for "p1.range.x" and lines similar to it.

Once you're done, save it and run Mugen. If you have any questions, just (dance)ask dude.
