Yes, it is true, the long-awaited release is here! Contains every skin from XML1 and XML2 in MUA format, converted by myself and Mr. Chameleon.

Download Now!

Enjoy! And post any problems (not sure what they could be :P) here.

EDIT: Xtreme Psylocke, Retro Psylocke, and Ultimate Cyclops are NOT included in the pack. darkmythology made bump-mapped versions based on the 'Dark' models, so they would not only be redundant, but lower quality.

Ultimate Cyclops

Xtreme Psylocke

Retro Psylocke

For previews, hit the corresponding skin conversion threads (though I will, eventually, crosslink all the images to this thread for ease of use, yesss).
Be aware that the pack is MUA-formatted. If you want the XML2-compatible XML1 models, get the separate releases from the XML subforum.

Hi,

According to the picture, this skin pack looks awesome.
However, I would like to know where I have to install the files exactly.
Thanks in advance for repliers
and sorry for the dumb question ...

Hi,
skins go in the "actors" directory.
As is explained in other threads.

Hi,

I'm new to the whole concept of "modding" so please forgive the "noob" question I'm about to ask.  Does this mod overwrite charecters and their powersets, or does it simply overwrite the existing charecter skins?

Neither.
It's just a very big pack of skins.
No powersets.
No existing files get overwritten, but you wont be able to select any of them in game unless you install powersets etc for them or replace existing skins..

Thanks form you help. If I do understand correctly, to be able to use (for now) those skins, I need to overwrite it with an existinging one ( ex : wolverine related file in the Actors folder ) ?

Yes, pretty much.
These are really more of an excellent resource for Modders than a Mod per se.
But if you want, you can just replace an existing characters skin with them, till Mods for each character are released..

Thanks. Wahoo ... I can't wait for those mods.

one psylocke skin is missing from the file (her normal one not spacesuit)
that was the one I was actually looking for to play with, if someone has it and cn help me... thx

BliZZ has compunctions against using it because darkmythology has bolted the texture onto the MUA hi-res model. Not my fault, honest XD

Alternate TAS Wolverine (from X-Box, supposedly without back problems) and PS2 Xtreme Psylocke for the purists :D

Several skins in action:

Advanced Lighting with Shadows on Medium or High makes the XML2 models look gorgeous even despite their lack of normal mapping. Of course, they look a tad crude next to MUA models that do; but they hold their own pretty well nonetheless. Without Advanced Lights, they look pretty much identical (of course, if you discount the Black Splotch Issue, which was the reason for my using the PS2 models as often as possible).
