Requisits:
This mod needs the Official Character Mods (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,3380.0.html) and the X-Men Legends 2 Characters Mod (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=2471.0) installed, as it uses a lot of skins included in those packs.

Mod's information
-Using other skins for Mystique:
The way the game works, in order for Mystique to shapeshift, you need to hex-edit the skin files, which is rather easy, yet sounds too threatening to do. That's why I included a couple of extra skins in the rar (by Norrin Radd and Matt710). Those will definitely work if renamed to anything between "19301.igb" to "19306.igb". There's a good chance I made some mistakes in packing Mystique's skins (the extra skins could be some of the ones already in the game, 4th skin may or may be not the Destroyer armor). Please inform me here.

-Explanation about "Deception":
Once you use this boost, you've got a small time lapse in which you can press a button (light attack, smash, jump or none at all), which will make Mystique use one of 4 different debuffs and boosts.
If I'm allowed a moment of selfpromotion, the most technically impressive is the default one, meaning pressing no button. But my personal favourite is "Taunt", which takes place if you press jump. I was really inspired when I came up mixing that animation with that skin.

To other modders:
Anyone that's willing to can further work on this, as long as proper credit is given (that means not just me, but everyone else down there). Feel free to add or remove powers and skins, but if you allow me one small request, keep at least the following powers: Shapeshift Mayhem, Agile Warrior and Deception.

Things still left to do:
-Check and correct bugs

Known bugs:
-Playing for too long might cause the game to crash (I guess because of skin overdose), especially if you make an effort to look at as many of the powers as you can, and if you change characters really often. Playing normally shouldn't cause a lot of problems.
-Flip Shot sometimes hits up to 8 times, other times only once or twice.

Sweet! I'm gonna try it, next time I play MUA. This'll be a great mod! YOu know, I'll bet it was hard to do the skin mix up thing.

[Faure]

So if I have the Official character and the xlm2 character mod installed it should run without any extra to-do's?

In that case i'd give it a try.

[CosmoChakra]

OK, so I tried the mod, but she cant hit anything or activate her powers.....and yes I started new game,default stats.....

[GreeN]

Have ya installed the OC pack ?

[CosmoChakra]

Ooops. I forgot to download the X-MEN LEGENDS 2 mod. Guess I'll have to do that....

[sherban1988]

Hello.

I downloaded the mod, I had all the prerequisites installed, so I just installed this as well. By install, I mean I did what I do with other mods. Extract the files in the MUA folder, and add the character using Heroselect.

So, it works well, I have Mystique in game, her powers work. But she doesn't shapeshift with every attack as she does in your video, and when I use deception, she changes into a soldier wearing a hasmat suit... Did I do something wrong, or...?

EDIT: Nevermind, I realised that was the second boost.

Works well, thanks for the mod

[Gevth]

Glad to know that at least it works!

Just a tiny question: I tried to make something cute with the air smash: does it look good enough or should I give her a regular one?

[Gevth]

I uploaded the files that fixed the grabsmash bug, but the post (and the post of whoever mentioned it, I think it was CosmoChakra) got deleted during the event I'll be calling "the dark days"(cue suspense music).

Anyways, here it is, it goes in /data/fightstyles: http://www.mediafire.com/?wioj3hecogo

Updated the link in the first post too.

[Rusha_Feeni]

Regular grabsmash seems to work now, but whenever I use the boost that has her shapeshifting on each hit and try to use the grabsmash, she morphs into Colossus then does the stepback thing.  After that she is still Colossus and I am unable to grab until it wears off.

Oh, and I love the airsmash!

Me too....  And I have all the following installed:

Like CosmoChakra indicated, when Mystique is selected, there are no powers to select from and she cannot punch, etc.  Do you have any ideas on what could be wrong with my installation?

[CosmoChakra]

See, I encountered this problem again after I installed the X-MEN LEGENDS II mod. So I used another skin of hers own below. And her powers worked. Yeah, that Modern skin doesn't have the required packages, and so nothing would work. Try another skin,and the mod will work....

[fox456]

Wow!  You were right about changing the skin to get the powers to work.  For me, it's the Uncanny skin that doesn't have the powers.  Thanks for your help, CosmoChakra.

[Alzael]

It's a cool mod and I've always liked Mystique.But I'm having a small problem with it.Everything else seems to be working good but when I use Deception I can't get her to use any of the other powers for it.She simply uses the default power everytime (the press no buttons one).Any ideas would be appreciated.

[Gevth]

It works in my computer, so I don't think it's a technical problem, but in the chance it was, I don't think I can do anything.

For the record, the way it works is to have a quick animation chain into one of the 4 buffs, depending on the button you press. The animation is very fast, and if you watch it closely, it'd be like a small step backwards, as if she was taking damage.
