No, there aren't any complete conversions yet. BliZZ was asking me for some extra files besides the skins though, so here are the ones done so far, PD style. These aren't usable anywhere as the local XML format is incompatible with the XMLB format. BliZZ volunteered to excruciate himself by converting them, so applaud the man and don't complain about results you get from using the raw files.

Skeletons for Gambit (due to different menu pose as opposed to XML2), Emma, Jubilee, Psylocke, Beast and Magma.

Loose files for Beast, Emma and Magma (Jubes and Betsy will be upped much later, as I've got classes to attend now). These contain the effects, the powerstyles, the icons and the entities (Magma only). Note that I didn't sift anything into folders as they're all self-explanatory and revitalizing XML1 procrastinatory effect dir structure (separate folders for powers, powerups and extras; while MUA and XML2 ditch everything into a single effect folder) is not in my plans. Also note that they don't have talent files in their FBs, which is sort of aggravating. I'll have to look for them elsewhere.
There are only 4 icons due to only 4 powers being present - a Buff, a ranged attack, and either a melee attack or an area attack. And the Xtremes, of course. ALL the effects models and textures are already present in MUA, even Magma's lava sled, which, to my knowledge, is not used anyplace in MUA (or XML2 for that matter). Again, these exist in MUA and XML2 with the new, simplified, dir structure, which differs from XML1s.

I'm confused by this. Are you saying that every XML1 Effect is already in MUA? Cause I don't see folders for these guys. Well, I see Beast's, but I assume he is missing some and those are just his boss effects.
Not the effects. Pay attention to what I'm saying. Effects MODELS. Like all the magma_ .IGBs you can see in MODELS/EFFECTS, and all the textures used by the effects files. So, the only thing stopping us from using these files directly is the difference between the script formatting of XML1 and XML2/MUA.
Sorry for my misreading. I'll get to work on Frost now. :P

Jubes!
Clarification: All the effects files resided in effects/powers, hence the need for adding a character name to sift through them. Note the good tendency of naming the files after powers. Too bad they stopped doing that.
The effects from effects/powerups (the effects shown on other characters after being affected by powers, or buff effects on self) were named <charname>_<effectname>.xml, but I didn't bother with subdirs, adding "powerup" into their name instead. You either cut the "powerup" out and restore the directory structure as it was in XML1 or just alter the entry in the powerstyle and dump everything into one effect folder.
Educated guess: try comparing the contents of XML2 Beast's and XML1 Beast's effects. If there are similarities, you might be able to find a way to automate the conversion process by using WordPad's auto substitution functions :D The same goes for Frost as well, naturally.

I can see some DEFINITE similarities. I'll see if the obvious way of conversion works, and if not, move on from there.

Emma's power1_confuse.

The major difference is this: all effect files in MUA have everything alphabetically listed. I went through that detail for the first one, but not this one. It still appears to work the same. Thank GOD, as the alphabetization took FOREVER and was excruciatingly painful.
GYah! This frost_power2_fear is making me pull my hair out! Does anyone see the problem here? (the double-space after the 'name=' (it occurs twice) is how it should be, I believe) I feel like it is something obvious ( a semicolon or space somewhere), but its racking my brains.

Emma's effect files, all converted to XML2/MUA format. Not her icons, ps, or some faux talent file, just the effects :P
I want to say Jubi is next, but she has a daunting amount of files. I guess she's next, although it probably won't be done for a while.
Good job! That should give us a headstart :D
QuoteNot her icons, ps, or some faux talent file, just the effects
Leave the icons be, man. Until we decide on a full powerset, doing anything other than extricating them from the IGB is pointless, and I'm already doing that as I rip the files from the FBs. Once I mop up Betsy, I'll up the lot as BMPs.
Okay, here goes.
The set for Psylocke (includes two of the three of her boltons - one's already present in MUA, but I have a sneaky suspicion that they're just duplicates of it): http://h1.ripway.com/ivank/XML1/Psylocke.rar
And the icons of all the remaining playables:
IGBs: http://h1.ripway.com/ivank/XML1/icons.rar
BMP dumps: http://h1.ripway.com/ivank/XML1/XML1iconsBMP.rar
Preview (note that no icons from here made it into XML2 in any way, all were redrawn):

(click for big picture)
And, for the catch-up, the herostat and npcstat. Why? Because THEY contain the talent listings!
http://h1.ripway.com/ivank/XML1/Stats.rar
And also, because the npcstat actually defines the playability of Professor X. You know what this means?
Yup, you got it.
We can circumvent the character limit of herostat by adding new chars into npcstat and then activating them via dialogue scripts in the same manner as Ghost Rider was activated when you first meet him! Lah-di-dah! I gotta test the theory, of course, but I think it SHOULD work juuuust fine...
Thanks for that. And, just to clarify, when I spoke of the icons above I meant to make it clear what I did and didn't convert.
Anyway, Jubes is on hold. With the talent file in my possession, I'm gonna attempt to make Emma fully playable in MUA.

FAR from done. I've only scratched the surface of the ps and talent files. Just showing that it is very possible to do. :P
I got side-tracked by the fact that I can't get Emma's moves to deal damage. :P
So I'm currently working on Jubes' effects. 11 out of 19 done.
http://www.momoshare.com/file.php?file=2662bbad74fdae12c8b4ac30a00dc6cc
Jubilee's effects in XML2/MUA format, all 18 of them. Yeah, I miscounted, the 19th is the ent file, which I will do if I ever get around to a Jubilee mod. :P
So, should I proceed to the FX of the other XML1-only chars (after checking whether they've been featured, file-wise, in XML2), like Shadow King, Avalanche and Marrow?
Yea, sure.
I think all of Beast's MAY be in XML2, just named differently. His XML2 PS file has all 4 XML1 attacks, it just has differently named effects (the XML2 ones) linked to them.
Addition: as per Burning Rage's clarifications, here's Rogue's XML1 skeleton which is supposed to differ from XML2's as well.
http://h1.ripway.com/ivank/XML1/07_rogueXML1.rar
Back to the drawing board now, kids.
Emma's XML1 power style is in .eng format, as opposed to .engb... I've tried using nba2kstuff's xmlbcui program to decompile it for giggles, and it produces nothing. How do I decompile the .eng file so I can view it? I just wanted to do a little comparitive analysis.
Also, I didn't notice the HUD head models from XML1 anywhere... Were they already ripped and I missed them, or they on the "to do" list?
Notepad!
Or WordPad. I like WordPad more, because it is easier to keep track of all the spaces in it. Or maybe it's just me.
QuoteAlso, I didn't notice the HUD head models from XML1 anywhere...
Since my main task is MUAfication, I don't much care for the polygonal heads on the HUD as it doesn't use them. As for portraits, I really don't like the style both XMLs use, so I'd rather make my own when I can.
I tried that and got a bunch of random characters... ::)
EDIT: I'll try it with WordPad and see how it goes. I realize it's not your main focus, but can I get Emma's, Psylocke's, and Magma's polygonal heads from you please?
Extra EDIT: You got the textures from the PS2 version of the game. Can I also rip the HUD heads from there too? If so, I got the disc, so I could rip them myself when I get home. Thanks.
And therein lies the problem. It takes a shitload of work to convert, and it is not fun. I only got Emma's first power done before putting it into my 'to do' pile.
QuoteI tried that and got a bunch of random characters...
Have you been smoking what we've been smoking? It's an XML-like code, dude.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/ivan_k/Marvel/MUA/Teckst.png)
The only weird symbols in there are the <angle brackets> :D
QuoteCan I also rip the HUD heads from there too? If so, I got the disc, so I could rip them myself when I get home. Thanks.
Your funeral :D I could of course rip them, given the time.
Bah... I'm an idiot. I opened the wrong file... Clicked too far on the list and nabbed the .engb instead of the .eng I meant to. So yeah, obviously notepad works.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate if you could rip them some time since you already know how to do it, and I have yet to start ripping, so I'd have to spend time to figure them out. I'll figure that out later though. Thanks for understanding my stupidity. :D
