I got the loading screens taken care of and I'm still figuring out how to create hud heads. Now is there a way to change images in the Objectives section?

Sorry, but this tutorial is about character modding, so you're in the wrong place. Send me a direct message. I'm currently at work, so I'll respond when I can.


After playing around for a bit, here's what I discovered about combotextstarter and combotextfinisher:

1) It doesn't matter who initiated the combo or which character's power landed first; combotextstarter is always displayed by AI-controlled heroes when combotextfinisher is always displayed by the player. So, if you're playing as Luke Cage, when you land a combo with his power 1, you'll always see "Jab" with another character's combo-starter text and will never see the "Impervious" part. But if Luke is controlled by AI and executes his power 1 when you land a combo while playing as another character, then you'll see "Impervious" part with your character's finisher text.

2) If you land a combo while executing the Xtreme, only your Xtreme's combotextfinisher will be displayed. For some reason combotextstarter from other powers doesn't display during combos with Xtremes. That's why Xtremes have pretty generic finisher names such as Victory, Devastation, Rage, Attack, Defense" etc. Some characters use more unique finisher names such as "Thunder Strike" (Storm) or "Maelstrom" (Dr Strange) or "Smash" (Hulk). So with Xtremes it's best to include both the adjective and the noun into the finisher text, alternatively you could just come up with creative adjective and simply add "Combo" in the end, such as combotextfinisher = Fantastic Combo!
