http://www.infinitymugenteam.com/Forum_345/index.php?topic=26454.0

I want to increase amount of chars for this screenapack, from 1386 to 2500, so, I have some tools like FFU 2.5 and basic knowledge of how to edit sprites, I need guidance on how to increase amount of slots from select.def / system.def file and what sprites (if any) I have to change, to do this (because I've saw sprites for slots in system.sff) 

the version I use is RED IMT (variant 2 - 1386 slots).

If anyone can guide me, I will be the most happy mugen noob on this planet I guess  

sry my language, I am russian )

here is how it's look like in the game


here is how sprite is looking like in FFU 2.5


here is the part where cell.bg.spr is mentioned

Code: [Select]

rows = 34
columns = 48
wrapping = 1              ;1 to let cursor wrap around
pos = 8,27                ;Position to draw to
showEmptyBoxes = 0
moveOverEmptyBoxes = 0
cell.size = 13,13         ;x,y size of each cell (in pixels)
cell.spacing = 0          ;space between each cell
cell.bg.spr = -1,-1
cell.random.spr = 151,0   ;Icon for random select (don't use animation)
cell.random.switchtime = 4;Time to wait before changing to another random portrait
p1.cursor.startcell = 0,12
so I guess I have to somehow calclulate how much sprites will be one cell if I wish 2500 chars and then change cell size (for expample to 8x8 maybee) and then edit sprite showed in second screen to have each cell a size of 8x8 ? but I don't know how to calculate which size the cell must be to hold 2500 chars on a single screen...

ok i dont hang around here much ^_^ but since i am here let me help u names david ok first i downloaded that screenpack

first forget all that

is very easy what u r asking for
ok u must have that screenpack set 2 since u mention u have it to 1385 i will give more detail whit pics. most around here just use words but since i dont want u getting all @-@ confuse
on your screepack go to data folder then this folder
then open the system folder whit notepad please

i want to look this part go down till u see it
when u find it see where i mark on the picture
rows = 42    change this number to like 43
 colums = 201    and this to 202        

this two parts  rows and colums parts adds more slots for more caracters to have in your menu on your scren pack after u change them to what i toll u save it and check your menu u will see more slots to place more caraters ajust the values till your happy whit the slots
