Motif - Fight Screen

The fight motif describes the look and feel of the fight/match screen. This is defined in system.def [Files] Fight setting. This file is tipically named fight.def.

As in any DEF file, it follows the same INI-like structure, with some exceptions like Animations.

[Files]: Additional files for fight resources.

• sff: Filename of sprite data. See more.
• snd: Filename of sound data. See more.
• common.snd: Filename of sound data to be played by the Character's State Machine. See more.
• fightfx.sff: Filename of sprite data for effects/sparks. See more.
• fightfx.air: Filename of animation data for effects/sparks. See more.
• font1 / font2 / font3 / font4 / font5 / font6 / font7 / font8 / font9 / font10: Fight fonts (filenames). See more.

Directories are checked in this order:

1. current directory fight.def is in
2. data/
3. your MUGENext directory

eg.: If you write "sff = fight.sff", and this fight.def file is in ~/MUGENext/data/mymotif/, then the engine will first look for ~/MUGENext/data/mymotif/fight.sff. If it does not find it there, it looks for ~/MUGENext/data/fight.sff (the default). Finally, if that is not found, it will look for ~/MUGENext/fight.sff.

[FightFx]: Global settings.

• scale: global scale for effects (float).

The fight effect Animations describes the look and feel of the VFX seen during match. This is defined in [Files] fightfx.sff / fightfx.air settings.

These animations can be used by Players on their State Machines in the Explod (by prefixing the animation number with F) and GameMakeAnim State Controllers, or hardcoded like animation 120 used by the Dust effect created automatically by the engine when Players reach the ground. So, only animation 120 is required, anything else depends on the game's State Machine code (usually in common.cns) and are not guarenteed to be there.
