Go to data\select.def - It's a .txt file. It should look like this when you find it.

 ;How to add characters
 ;---------------------
 ;Use the format:
 ;    charname, stagefilename
 ;
 ;eg. For a player with filename "kfm", 
 ;    and stage filename "stages/mybg.def"
Blah blah blah..

Look for this with CTRL + F, or just scroll down a bit to it:

 ;Insert your characters below.

kfm, stages/dojo.def
kfm, stages/hall.def
kfm, stages/town.def

Enter the name of the character's folder like these for example:

kfm, stages/dojo.def
kfm, stages/hall.def
kfm, stages/town.def
[i]Skullman
SniperJoe, stages/stage.def[/i]

on the folder name part, could you explane that in better detail? i tried it and nothing happened

In your MUGEN folder, go to the folder, then Data. When in there, look for a text file called "select". Open it, and read through my other post.

ok, now i have a bunch of characters and stages. but how do i add music?

 

[_Manic_]

Assign it to the stage you want it to play it in, which is in the STAGES folder, edit the stage's DEF file, look for a spot that would be like;

music.type

Example:

Green_Greens.mp3

Of course, find it by using Ctrl + F, and find 'Music'.

 

[time gear]

ok, i follow'd your instructions, but here is what i found and edited:
[Music]
bgmusic = TheLastBloodshed.MP3
bgvolume = 10

but when i load the stage, i cant here it. what did i do wrong?

 

[HxK Retro]

Ok, to make sure the music will play, put the mp3 or whatever music file you have and put one in your music folder and your stages folder. Hope It Helps!

Old Version

I have an old version of MUGEN, like from 2000 and it is expired. Where do you get new one from??

 

[_Manic_]

I believe 2000 was the last one, but there's always Random Select.

The music code should look like this;

[Music]
bgmusic = music/TheLastBloodshed.MP3
bgvolume = 10

 

[time gear]

ok, i have tried EVERYTHING that i can think of, and yet the music just wont play. even the "music/mp3name.mp3" thing wont work. does the high quality version disable sound or somthing? because i have tried stage .def files, character .def files, and moving files to different folders, and NOTHING has been making noise exept for the sound effects the characters themselfs make. if there is a better way, then i would like to know. also, how do you change the title screen stuff and what is it called?
im tired of it saying "mugen" with a blue hazy background.

 

[_Manic_]

It might be because it's an MP3 file itself. I've had trouble with MP3 files on MUGEN myself.
The title and so forth to be changed? That's called a screenpack.

[Music]
bgmusic = music/TheLastBloodshed.MP3
bgvolume = 10

Is'nt it supposed to be:

sound/TheLastBloodshed.MP3
bgvolume = 10

?
at least that's what it is in my mugen stages...

Oh and make sure the mp3 is in the "sound" folder.

If I recall correctly, I got mp3's to work on MUGEN by replacing the mp3 decoder DLL with the one from Winamp

mp3's always worked on my mugen and I never had to do anything...

hmm...

Yeah. Like that. I meant sound, not music.

I guess it might depend on either the computer or the screenpack, then.

It depends on both sometimes.
If its the computer, its mostly because it has a weird/obscure sound card or driver.
If its the screenpack, its most likely because its has old/corrupted DLL's or its messing up some vital sound settings.

well i have vista, which is a lot better than before. but it might be the reason i cant hear the music?

MUGEN works fine on vista, try running MUGEN in compatibly mode
