🎉 WE ARE BACK ONLINE! 🎉
After few days of alot of maintenance and work. We are back online again.
So you might be wondering what happened?
After the moving with the servers its been good past few weeks until the day I woke up a week ago the server has been freezing/timing out
So I ask a Server provider what's happening they were quick to respond and told me one of the SSD have BAD sectors and needs replacing.
I have been waiting for the past 1 -3 days as they tried to get into the live cd to let me back up all my things but not working, had to do some maintance again to do a memory tests it took a long time, booting into the system I backed up everything and then the next few days was a nightmare fixing and gathering the things I needed and now its back up and running again.
Thank you to everyone for your support and waiting patiently to get it up and running. Sorry for the inconvenience

How to Make a MUGEN / IKEMEN Screenpack?
M.U.G.E.N & IKEMEN Screenpack & UI Masterclass
The Definitive Guide to Designing Main Menus, Custom Select Screens, and Lifebars
A custom screenpack completely redefines the identity of your M.U.G.E.N or IKEMEN engine build. It controls the introductory cinematics, title screen layout, select grid slots, font assets, and individual fight HUDs. This guide covers manual UI assembly, advanced element alignment, and a streamlined modification pipeline to help you customize your engine aesthetic.
1. Mikazuki's Official Guide to Screenpack Modification
Modifying a pre-existing screenpack is an exceptional shortcut to getting a stunning, fully optimized UI layout without reconstructing thousands of coordinate lines from scratch. Follow this clean editing workflow:
- Target Your Theme: Choose a baseline screenpack folder that contains the general layout framework (like grid distribution or resolution metrics) you wish to build upon.
- Analyze the Data Roots: Open Fighter Factory and target the configuration text file paths (such as
system.def) located within the screenpack'sdata/folder. - Isolate Graphic Assets: Load the corresponding Sprite (
.sff) database to look at the exact graphic slices, background graphics, overlay textures, and logo frames the engine reads. - Swap and Save: Replace the stock user interface elements with your custom assets—ensuring correct index color constraints—and save to immediately view your new design in-engine.
2. Core Configuration Files
A screenpack's operations are divided between two dominant configuration ecosystems housed in your engine directory:
