Quick Versus Launcher

I created a launcher for the quick versus feature of MUGEN (command line).

Project source: https://github.com/mugen-launcher/quick-versus

Features:
- Training mode (player versus computer)
- Versus mode (player versus player)
- Organize your characters by category
- Choose the number of columns for your grid
- Scrolling grid
- Random selection for all the characters
- Random selection for category characters
- Custom background image
- Custom sounds
- Select character style
- Select character color
- Select AI level
- Select stage
- Responsive

I was frustrated about the MUGEN if you have a lot of characters :

- the single screen to select characters is a mess
- we don't have space to display portrait
- the MUGEN load time increase
- it's complicated to update SFF file

With this launcher :

- the load time depends only on the size of the 2 characters (10 sec. on my device)
- we have a scroll to select character (so virtually unlimited without reducing readability)
- a character can have multiple styles, it takes only 1 thumbnail (ex. Goku, Goku SSJ1, Goku SSJ2)
- each player has his own side to select character
- it relies on png and gif files located in character directory, no need to edit SFF file with Fighter Factory Studio

please explain more how it work and how to use

It is also explained in the project README.

- You need to put the quick-versus.exe in the same directory as mugen.exe
- Create quick-versus.json file with the sample (found in the README)
- Add def file path of some of your characters inside "chars" directory (ex. "ryu/ryu.def")
- Fill the keyboard mapping, to map Mugen buttons (A, B, C, X, Y, Z)

Then execute quick-versus.exe

The sound and images you see in the video are parameters you can customize in the JSON file and character directories.

How it works: it is an application that will execute mugen.exe with correct command line arguments

We can launch a fight by providing 2 character definition file paths. It is called "quick versus" by Elecbyte.

works thanks for share

Well, I need feedbacks and feature request.

I could build my own app but I decided to build a customizable one (because I take from the community so I give to the community).

About the feature request, I want to limit this launcher to a simple versus launcher (P1 vs P2/COMP). I can also create (and share code) other launchers (maybe a simultaneous team battle).

a tutorial on how to customize would be great
how to add portraits and stand animations as in your video

i find it really well done
NEWEST concepts of screenpack... it s welcome
really good work thanks and...

Here is the tutorial to customize the character images : https://github.com/mugen-launcher/quick-versus/blob/master/docs/how-to-add-character.md

Oh my.. I never thought this would ever be done in mugen. I thought this was only achievable using separate coded software.
THIS IS COOL!!! With this, mugen can really looks like a big company's released game!

It IS a separate coded software. This application launches MUGEN, the focused window is now MUGEN. When the fight is over, MUGEN closes and you are back to this application.

Version 0.28.1 can use the HTML export from Fighter Factory to display stand animations. It's the fastest way to create animation for each character color.
