EDIT:
Latest Version of this mod is available here:
http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=2074.msg36810#msg36810
Here is a minor update to the Apocalypse mod.
The link:
What's New in this update:
-mannequin by MXYZPLX
-loadscreen by me
-Cape bolton (I need to recolor it a little darker, but I can't figure out how to do offsets for thismodel.)
Notes:
-the strike and hp bonuses from the growth power are timed; the actual growth animation is not. You can stay big forever, but the bonuses only last for the time listed in the talent file. If you press the power again while large, you'll shrink back down to normal size, but it will cost you the energy points to use the power. On the bright side, the bonuses will be active again as well.
-one thing I did note with the growth issue is that Apocalypse will shrink back down to standard height if you try to steal a weapon from a foe. Otherwise, you can use the grabsmash while all big 'n bad.
Enjoy culling the Masters of Evil.
Since I have failed at all attempts to make custom icons work in-game, Bishop's file is used as a placeholder. They're at least colored similar to apocalypses's powers.
I made this very basic icon file by altering some of Bish and Mags icons, but can't covert it to igb. Anyone up to the task?

The herostat definition for Apocalypse is included in a text file in the mod. See the main page of this site for details on how to add a new character to your game by editing the herostat.
It seems like I have a problem with the "Massive" power... Apoc does not grow larger for me...
QuoteIt seems like I have a problem with the "Massive" power... Apoc does not grow larger for me...
Did you put the Apocalypse.py script into the scripts/common folder? That's what makes him grow.
hmmm.... let me try that again! :)
Every time I use Apoc's 1st power (an energy blast from his fists), the projectiles are always fired at the North-West direction even if I aim it at other directions or have locked on a target...

I just tested the mod on my machine and I'm not seeing that happening. In fact, that power has worked fine from the first time I downloaded cvc's mod. He's firing towards his lockon or the general direction he's facing. Tried it in different skins as well. I don't know what to tell you since it's working fine on this end. Are you seeing the energy balls/globes? Or is it another effect?
Yes, energy ball is the one. I will keep testing to see what's wrong with him. :)
@ Cates -- I'll get your icon set ready, but I'll probably use something higher-res for Apocalypse. Any of these pics suit your fancy? (I like the idea of being zoomed in on the eyes, so we'll do that with one of these pics)
http://www.marveldatabase.com/Apocalypse_%28En_Sabah_Nur%29/Gallery
Here's my favorites: (in order)

SWEET. Thanks for pitching in. Having real, unique icons makes such a difference to me in terms of a mod's "professionalism." The bottom picture is the coolest, but if we're just doing eyes I like number 2 because of the facial wrinkles. If you're putting it together though, you get the final say :)
By the way, feel free to swap out any of those icons for better ones. I don't really like the bullet-hitting-the-ground one for his Piledriver power, but it was the best my feeble graphic skills could produce.
If I know you can do graphic stuff, I might make a few other requests. (I.e., a Pyro HUD--I hate playing without at least one good HUD pic. And Pyro has none.) I can make HUDs if you can make it game usable.
I'll do both 2 and 3 then you can decide.
Here's both icon sets:

Banners needs to be 512x64 SHRUNK to 256x64, otherwise they'll stretch out and look pretty bad in-game.
Noted. I'll get that fixed.
Teancum-
Don't know if you discovered this yourself, but I'm getting a CTD each time I use those icon files.
got a chance to check Apoc out :thumbsup2:
Cates I seen where someone was having a problem with the lock on so read the ps file it might be this
FightMove {
animenum = ea_powe9 ; only misspelled = ( animenum = ea_power9 ; )
icon = 6 ;
is_power = true ;
lockangles = true ;
CVC - Is the concussion blast working fine on your machine? Because it's not an issue for me so I don't know what to fix.
Last icon set crashed the game. Here's a working link:
http://www.momoshare.com/file.php?file=a3ff1bc27a50d3670041e861d89548fa
I didn't use pic #3 this time since it didn't stretch as well. So just pic #2 as the banner.
Hell it all seems to work for (me) I think its fab.As a matter of fact I was thinking of useing the ps for a template because I have so many to write.
Teancum -
Icons look great (well, as great as my chintzy icon set can look). I'll updated the talent files and link the talents to the proper icons.
There's also a costume bonus with an error in the description. I'll fix that too.
Other issues that need addressed for the next version?
amm the custume arent working when i change apocaplipse icon its look the same :( i have the same problme with silver Surfer but anyway make for him another suits
Quoteamm the custume arent working when i change apocaplipse icon its look the same i have the same problme with silver Surfer but anyway make for him another suits
Well, that's because we only have one skin for him. Same for Silver Surfer. They have different costume
bonuses, but only one skin. I'd love to have more skins for a lot of characters but that's not where my talents lie.
ohhh! thanks :)
Is there a screenie of Apocalypse in action? Or doing his XTreme? Also, does the game crash?
QuoteIs there a screenie of Apocalypse in action? Or doing his XTreme? Also, does the game crash?
There are a couple of screens for him in the XML2 Bad Guys thread. And no, he's never crashed my game.
Brand new stuff for Apocalypse: an AoA skin! (The XML2 skin is actually an Ultimate skin)
It's still a WIP, but it's not so bad for my first shot, IMO. A few things are beyond my control, like the metal shape on his abdomen and a detail on the boots, but I'm pretty pleased.
I'll finish touching it up soon and repackage it with the mod. A new HUD will come with it.
Menu shot . . .

and morphing up for Celestial Smash . . .

Since we're on the subject of improving Apocalypse:
1) Can someone show me his XML2 npcstat def? Surely there's a way to get his arm tubes to show up.
2) Are there bolton capes available? He could use one in both the Ult and AoA skins.
Sweet screenies! You got any of him doing Rise of the Horsemen?
It looks good man, now he just need a cape!!!

Oh and one more thing...Plz. get a screenie of Apocalypse doing Rise of the Horsemen! Will be much appreciated. :thumbsup:
You ask this question in almost every other thread... lol
Why wouldn't you trust our friendly modders here at least once? :D
No, it doesn't crash!
You can get a high quality screenie in PNG format by pressing F11.................. after you've installed the mod... :P
lol. :laugh:
Too true. I extremely LOVE XTremes and screenshots. And yes, because I have already downloaded Mandarin and Holocaust in, but I'm planning on changing Holocaust to Apocalypse.
In regards to Apocalypse not shrinking after his grow move...
Well, I'm pretty much a coding dunce, but could you just use the same codes that make Jugs grow big and then shrink from XML-2? I think it was called Crimson Rage or some such. He'd get bigger and bigger as he hit people, then shrink down. You can at least get an idea as to how to set up the coding for shrinking and maybe put it on a time limit, as Apocalypses powers are currently set on a time limit.
Sorry if this is useless, just trying to help out,
You guys rock!
~Johnathan
Well, so far no good on the cape or his arm tubes. I tried recoloring the death's hand cape and attaching but, neither it nor the arm tubes are showing up despite multiple attempts.
In the meantime, here's an AoA skin and HUD. They're named to overwrite the files in this mod and become skin 2.

It's not perfect by any stretch, but I like the looks of it in-game. This is my first ever skin, so feedback is appreciated.
Perfect! The red looks really neat!
Btw, what software do you use for image editting?
Sry. for my impatience, :ugh: but,
RISE OF THE HORSEMEN SCREENSHOT!
QuoteSry. for my impatience, but,
RISE OF THE HORSEMEN SCREENSHOT!
You could ease your impatience by simply installing the mod. It takes fives seconds and another 10 to edit your herostat. I simply keep all the files for all the mod characters in my MUA folders, then edit the herostat as needed. I'm working on a third skin for Apocalypse, as well as (yay!) Sunspot files, updating Pyro and Sunfire, etc. With all this, and as I already know what his Xtreme looks like, I have little motivation to fight through the game to get his Xtreme up and take a screenshot. Sorry if you think I'm being unreasonable.
QuotePerfect! The red looks really neat!
Btw, what software do you use for image editting?
Thanks! My program is a very basic photo editor, PhotoSuite from Roxio. However, I made great use of its "colorize" function to recolor Apocalypse without losing the textures of the muscles or the sheen on his gloves, etc. I also used the clone option often to recreate tones or textures in different areas (like trying to disguise the chest ornament.)
BTW, had some early difficulties in effects for Sunspot. Back to the drawing board tomorrow. :bawling:
Oh yeah that skin is another work of art Cates can't wait to see what you do next :hyper:

Cool. I use ACD Photo Editor, which has a function similar to that "colorize" function you mentioned. For me, it does not always work that well; the color doesn't come out that great. That's why I just colored the AoA Sunspot simply black...no surface textures... lol
Good luck with your Sunspot mod! ^_^

QuoteCool. I use ACD Photo Editor, which has a function similar to that "colorize" function you mentioned. For me, it does not always work that well; the color doesn't come out that great.
A couple of times when the color didn't work, I used the lighten function to sort of drain the base color, then colorized atop that. Worked very well on Apoc's leg bars, for instance.
Ha! That's what I did on the Maggies! :magneto:
SO then, no reply? Does this help?

I have XML2 on GC, so any files I use from there have to come from other kind folks. I know how to make him grow and shrink; the issue is the differnet mechanism used to add the attack and HP bonuses as well. They use the talent/powerstyle files, while the growth is from a py script.
Again I'm not of a programer, but Jugs got stronger as he grew as well. And I thought that you had a problem of him getting stuck big until you used the power again. My thought was that you could get an idea from Jugs code of how to make it set on a time limit. Could be a useless notion but I'm just trying to help out.
You guys Rock!

hey the link on the first message doesnt work for me? can some1 reup it?

I hope Cates doesn't mind... :whistle:
I still got the one I made in jan or feb. but Cates made many improvements.
hmmm... link no work... :(
I just uploaded it again....lol
see 2 posts above...
Oh, sorry. Only read a few pages in. Thanks btw.
It's great mod ! But I think Apoclayspe can fly ?
Telekinetic propulsion.
I know Apocalyspe can fly with telekinesis. But what's is Telekinetic propulsion a apocalypse power in this mod or a real definition of is capacity to fly.
It's a talent, I think. Talents include Flight, Might, Healing Factor, Web Zip, Fire or Cold Immunity, etc...
Really, becaucse I haven't got this talent for apocalypse in my game.
Cates maybe didn't add it in.
Ok
i noticed a red lining around him when he is either hit or uses his earth smashing...is that just part of the model??? other than that he works great...
Some mods have this, some mods don't. It's not really that important/annoying so no one really wanted to find out what happened....lol
okay i can live with that...one other question...whenever i bring up his mutant powers it just has a 1,2,3 to choose from is that just bc no one has yet to add that to the mod...
1,2,3? icons?
it just show 1,2,3 where the mutant powers icons are supposed to be...the icons that come up in the upper right-hand screen...any ideas...
hmm... I think the icons are there... It's called "apocalypse_icons1.igb" and it should be found in:
Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\textures\ui
apocalypse_icons1.igb is in the right folder
all of the powers work but there just isn't any icons...
here's a screen shot of what it looks like:

good mod but after i use the hammer smash move his hands turn from hammers to hands to hammers to hands etc. this lasts until i move to another locale or go into a SAP. not a real issue but anoying. and distracting. very very distracting. :apocalypse:

Hey everyone. Sorry to be gone so long and that the links are down. I'll re-up the current version soon, and begin working on some updates, such as a 3rd skin that never quite got completed as well as loadscreens. If anyone has the mannequins that were created for Apoc, link 'em here and they will be included in future updates.
here's the mannequin...

Great! Thanks Pacaveli.
Nice to see one of my favourite mods get a update soon :D
OK, as I'm delving back into this, here are a few issues:
-Someone was asking about flight, but, as I remember, he doesn't have flight animations. That's not a real priority in my opinion. He does have a teleport power.
-Loadscreen is done, but his iconset could use an overhaul. I'm planning to do this, but it will be lower on the priority list than new skins. Others can feel free to jump in if you have a hankerin'.
-is the "black-suited, blue cape" mannequin http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=1467.msg27779#msg27779 (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=1467.msg27779#msg27779) that was created an actual look for Apocalypse? I don't think I've ever seen it, but if it is that's an easy skin to producde.
-I'm reminded of my annoyance at being unable to get Apoc's cape and arm tubes to appear in game. I'd love someone to look into this as I have had no success. He should have a blue one for the Ultimate (XML2) skin and a red one for the AoA skin. The other skins in the works don't need capes.

If you need, you can use a third set of unqiue animations as fightstyle.

I think that's how it was attempted to be. MXYZPTLK made it probably, as I haven't seen it either other than in this thread. haha

The skin-filter doesn't work on capes (and all boltons that need a separate animation set). :( So, you can't really have cape on one skin and none on the other. It's an all-or-none event. :( I think you can make the arm tubes as 2-bolt-point effect-entities and bolt them to him in the powerstyle. I am not sure if you can make it hang down, like in comics; it would just be a straight line from forearm to pelvis, for example. I don't think you can add this in the herostat either, meaning it won't appear in the menu.
New upload on page 1 with some minor changes.
Also, I'm working on a third skin based on this: http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/7/75/En_Sabah_Nur_%28Earth-2000114%29.jpg

I went a little crazy in smoothing him out to make him look robotic, so he's got oven mitts. Going to have to change that. Happy with the face, though.
that will be badass if u can get that skin to look close to that...keep up the good work Cates...are gonna be makin knew mutant power icons...
Yes, he definitely needs an icon update. That was the 1st icon set I made, and its crap. It's on the to-do list.
why does apocalypse 2nd skill (the mace slam one thingy) kills enemies in 1 hit?
I don't have it loaded right now, so I can't answer for sure. Did you use the cheat to max your powers early in the game? If a power is fully maxed, you'll slaughter enemies early on.
In any case, I'll look into it when I get a chance.
no i used apocalypse with no cheats and used him in HARD mode remeber HARD mode it also kills scorpion in 2 HITS!!!!!
Hmmm... I remember this Apoc mod had a power where he creates 2 big cylinder-thingy on his fists and punches the ground multiple times with both hands. This is the only power I remember that was a bit too overpowered, other powers works fine though. :) I am not sure if that's the "mace slam" you mentioned... :apocalypse:
Celestial Smash?
I think that's right, Celestial Smash. It probably just needs a few adjustments in the talents and powerstyle. I'll get to it in the next couple of days.
I think its the two skills the celestial smash and the celestial strike. both has damage probs. :apocalypse:
