im pretty sure this is all covered in stickies..
but that overbuff problem.. ive gotten that before and I think
it either hits a decal limit or something but the HL engine takes too much trauma and forces itself to quit.

This simple melee guide is for version 1.2.x

Basic Melee is holding RMB when swooping into someone. You can also do this at close range without swooping by aiming at the enemy and holding RMB. You see a white flash and a sound effect when you make contact. The attack animation will only happen when you are in range and make contact.

You can block Basic melee and ki-attacks by aiming at the incoming enemy/ki-attack and holding block.

To throw people, first swoop into them without holding any mouse buttons. You'll enter what is known as AutoPunch. Before this process ends, hold RMB and you will grab your opponent. This wont work if the opponent was blocking the AutoPunch though. To block AutoPunch, you must be holding block and aiming at the enemy before they get to you. To struggle against a throw you just hold LMB and hope the enemy runs out of ki.

To use Advanced Melee you must first swoop into someone and enter the AutoPunch process. Press and hold LMB and a direction. This will fill up a bar which will change colour. The colour depends on how long you held that direction. Green is a weak attack, Blue is Medium, and Red is a Power hit. The speed at which the bar fills up depends on how many AutoPunch hits were landed.
Fill up the bar with as many attacks as you can/want, trying to make it difficult for the enemy to predict. There are special combos which you can input, but you must figure these out yourself, They are easier than you think, pay attention to the bots moves. As a fun tip, try to end your attacks with a Red attack to launch your enemy away. When you finish filling your bar, the animation begins.

During this animated fight, a set of directions in white will appear at the left of screen. Match these arrows with your directional buttons to dodge the opponents attacks.
When there is a diagonal arrow, you can use either of the 2 directions ie if arrow is pointing south west, you can press either down or left. Some arrows are random, and you will have to guess. Advanced melee is heavily turnbased and many veterans dont like it, but it can prove useful in my opinion. Advanced melee works much the same if you were the defender.

I hope this helps, and dont be disappointed by slow progress, it takes time to truly master.

For the error. Are you using STEAM?
What Graphics mode are you using?
Are you using ECX with custom characters?

As for the star thing. Its called random. It pops up at random times depending on the attack. Basically it hides the originall direction and you have to guess what to press.
