Change log:
10/03/2019- In some missions during the middle of the game, Professor Xavier can be selected as a playable party member and is not a restricted character. Added scripts to majority of the levels to ensure he's restricted till the Asteroid M mission.
If he still appears playable regardless if the mission has him set as a restricted hero, then it could just be a hard-coded thing.9/13/2019- Fixed an issue with Jubilee's conversation portrait being a GRSO Soldier's when you talk to her in the X-Mansion after the USS Arbiter mission.
This issue was due to me testing a custom character mod at the time and I replaced all that consist of Jubilee with a GRSO enemy. It should be fixed now.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------All characters unlocked from the very beginning (including Professor Xavier!) - Unlockable Heroes are usable on all X-Men missions despite being restricted on them! (Not counting side-stories.)
- Professor Xavier will be a restricted character until the very final mission taking place in Asteroid M due to his insane high level at early game. He will still be playable during the first Astral Plane visit considering it is part of the original story.
- Even Alison is already under the codename: Magma and joined the X-Men despite not even understanding her powers yet!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Updated Xtraction Points.- Every act around the mansion, you'll now have access to give your heroes early preparations before you move on to the next mission, as well as changing your character on who you wish to explore the mansion with.
- Player 1 will be Alison locked due to having the game's story revolving around her. While the remaining three will spawn as an NPC or a random selected X-Man (in later chapters).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Special Non-Playable Characters will act as playables- NPCs will serve as substitutes for additional players to gain control of for side missions.
- Selected NPCs are chosen based on the hero team's levels to balance things out for that mission.
- These playable characters will not permanently join the hero's party at any means. Meaning they are only playable in the specific mission they take part in.
- Each NPC added, has an .xml file in the characters folder. They are needed to allow these heroes to continue to use their talents even when entering into a new zone.

Video playlist of all the side missionsNotes:- All heroes share the same spawn point in side missions so they will all fall on top of each other and then spread out.
- In all of what were originally Alison's solo missions, her script has been set to MUSTLIVEHERO, to give it the same feel as if she's attending her missions alone. If she falls in battle regardless how many active party members are alive, the mission is still an instant fail. The same thing is applied to Wolverine in his Weapon X Flashback story.
- NPCs that have fallen in battle will automatically be revived with full health when the player enters into a new zone or the Change Team menu at an Xtraction point. Possibly has something to do with them being read through the NPCstat instead of the Herostat. Still works out pretty well in the end.
Known Issuses:- On missions that originally didn't allow an all hero party, when entering into a new zone, players will be reassigned as a different hero in the active party as well as some controllers being shown unregistered. The game will still believe all 4 controllers are registered, but they will not be assigned to a specific hero to play as. Removing all players from the game and reassigning them will fix this issue. This will only apply to all the missions that originally doesn't involve the entire X-Men
-
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EDIT AN NPC'S STATS OR EQUIP THEM WITH GEAR IN THE TEAM MENU! IT WILL CAUSE THE GAME TO CRASH.
If there are anything that leads to game crashing, please let me know and I will do my best to fix the issue.
