Melty Blood Actress Again Lifebars v1 by Kohaku
====================================================
This is my version of the Melty Blood Actress Again lifebars. Just like the rest of the Melty Blood lifebars out there, your mugen needs to be set in DR4 in order for them to look properly on the screen.

Another thing that this lifebar has in common with the rest is the use of custom portraits which can be placed in the character's SFF file with a group number of 9000 and a sprite number of 19 with an offset of 0,0. These lifebars come with pre-made custom portraits which are already in pcx format, just place them in the character's SFF file like previously stated. If you feel the need to make some yourself I have taken the liberty of giving you a template in the form of a screenshot. Trust me, it's much easier than it sounds when making these.

As of 10-29-08 an extra version of the lifebar has been implemented which involves the guard bar acting as the power bar. Two seperate fight.def files have been made to distinguish the two versions which are the normal fight.def and the EXfight.def which uses the said version with the guard/power bars. To use this version just open up your system.def and just replace the "fight.def" portion to "EXfight.def" in the fight directory.

Change this:

fight = MB_ActressAgain/fight.def

to this:

fight = MB_ActressAgain/EXfight.def

A second sound file has been added to offer a different announcer for the lifebars. I only did this because I haven't been able to rip any of the announcer sounds from MBAA yet.

Change this in the def file:

snd = mbaa_fight.snd 

to

snd = mbaa_fight2.snd
