ak2yny's releases

If you're new, before installing anything, take time to read this.
For skins/models and texture projects: They have to be added to a mod or replace any skin in the "actors" folder.
For HUD (heads): They have to be added to a mod or replace any HUD in the "hud" folder.
For loading screens: They have to be added to a mod or replace any loading screen in the "textures/loading" folder.
Take your time to learn how (to rename and hex-edit).
I tend to optimize mods for Mod Organizer 2. If you're not using MO, I highly recommend to backup first.
WARNING: I use Alchemy 5 for many projects, so content that is normally cross compatible, will only work with MUA PC.

Texture projects

Most of these only have added normal, specular, environmental, and/or glow maps (thanks to nikita488 for the tools). See in the picture below what difference they make:

My motivation: Some (most MH) skins look like the heroes wear latex costumes, that look like cheap cosplay. MUA used bump-maps (normal maps) with a texture to avoid that. I tried to add this to some skins.

Most of these have texture files (images as TGA, DDS, or PNG files) included, but they are not required. Everything is in a single IGB file per skin.

HUD in in mods or in HUD packs below

General credit notes for textures: Most textures come directly from the original developer of the model. I generally don't credit the people who ripped it, but I am certainly thankful for that. Sometimes, the artists at deviantart create extra textures, and I don't credit them, because I downloaded the textures a while ago and forgot from whom.

Your topic is very interesting!
I found many cool things here.
I really enjoyed the work you did at Dagger MUA2. It's fantastic!
I also thought about updating my skins with new maps but there are a lot of skins. I would practically stop converting just to make these updates, so I decided to do it very slowly. If you are willing to make updates I will focus on the conversions and leave the other skins already converted according to your interest.
Your job is very good!
 

[ak2yny]

Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, I'm planning on those updates, working my way up alphabetically. I have all your skins from the small packs, but I think I will only do the ones I'm interested in (all/most Marvel skins, no DC or other skins). There are other projects in between (especially while OCP 2 is still in development), but more skins will follow slowly.
Cyclops, Colossus, and others aren't posted yet, because my internet is slow. But these are all from BLaw, I believe.



Edit:
I updated some loadscreens from Shafcrawler to fit widescreen better (Anole, Goblin Queen, Magik, Marvel Girl, Multiple Man, Polaris, Psylocke (2+3), Quicksilver, Sabretooth, Scarlet Spider, Shadowcat, Stacy-X, Wolfsbane, X-23). Caliban's LS has been updated (removed watermark) and loadscreens for Cyclops (Astonishing) and Aurora (with and without signature) have been added.

[LarsAlexandersson]

Pardon, I would like to implement the code which features enemy's hud head to 2016 version (which use hud pc data file instead of beenox). Which code is used BTW? I can't seems find elsewhere there.

[ak2yny]

Pardon, I would like to implement the code which features enemy's hud head to 2016 version[...]

Do you mean the one on the top, left of the health bar?


Unfortunately it's part of the HUD coding which is (to my knowledge) part of the exe or a dll. It's there in MUA 2006 PC by default. We don't have enough knowledge at present to change things like this. In the same way it's not possibly for me to remove the enemy head from the 2006 version (although removing might be as easy as hex-editing).

Take a look into this knowledgebase to learn more about HUD modding: https://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,10996.html
(I hope it's not too confusing)

Alchemy 5
Alchemy 5 batch pack



Original post with some old links:

IGB Image Creation for Images Without Models: (loading screens, icons, effect textures)
Requirements: image2igb.exe by nikita488 (included), Alchemy 5, and one of two 2c Hex hacks as noted above.
- Image 2 IGB batch pack by ak2yny and nikita488 - for .jpg, .png, .tga, .dds images
    contents:
    Loading Screen images to IGB quick convert - (more info)
    Image 2 IGB Batch Processing for nikita488's image2igb by ak2yny.
     Includes image conversion, optimized for textures without alpha (transparency), ie. DXT1. This conversion can be changed or removed.
    Image 2 IGB Batch for Fonts, optimal for icons and font textures.
     Mip Maps option included, change settings to activate. Raven used this for fonts. Fonts might look smoother with it.
    Image 2 IGB Batch for Icons, without conversion and only for png images, optimal for icons.
    Image 2 IGB Batch for Effect Textures, can work for loading screens - images need to be 1:1, 1:2, or 2:1.

IGB Image Creation for Images With Models: (HUDs, skins, boltons, map models, effect models)
Requirements: Alchemy 5, and one of two 2c Hex hacks as noted above.
- Texture Replacement Method by MrKablamm0fish (more info)
   Most optimizations can be run through (batch) commands, but the "Image Replacement Method" from MrK does not work currently.
- Batch Texture Replacement for HUDs and team icons - same Method by MrKablamm0fish
   Old version with tutorial video
   Optionally also change the internal name with Finalizer or in a hex-editor (replace "hud_conversation").
- Batch Adding Texture Maps to Skins, Raven Setup MUA Material optimization by nikita488, batch setup by ak2yny.
   Information about each map can be found here under "UnitIDs that MUA use with some notes".
   The Raven Setup MUA Material optimization by nikita488 can be found here (Package curated by UltraMegaMagnus).
- Texture Replacement with Raven Setup MUA Material method found by UltraMegaMagnus - Tutorial video
   Automatic mode (continue after prompt or set firsttime to false): When done change the internal numbers of the textures.
   Should only be used on models/skins without texture maps (specular, normal, environment/reflection, gloss/emissive).
     Works as long as one of the four maps is still unused, but should be done manually.
   The Raven Setup MUA Material optimization by nikita488 is included in the latest Alchemy 5 and Tools.

Other Useful Tools:
Requirements: Alchemy 5, version Hex hack
- Extract Images (version hack is useless here)

- Generate Mipmaps with Finalizer - settings - by UltraMegaMagnus
- Batch Converter & Image Extractor for nikita488's IGB Converter
- Batch Converter & Image Extractor for nikita488's actorConverter
- Fix skins for previewing with Alchemy batch for nikita488's animdb2actor.exe



Troubleshooting

When you try to run a BAT file, you may be confronted with a "Windows protected your PC" window. In this case click on "More Info", and "Run Anyway". Press a key when prompted.

Some .bat files may download as *.bat.txt files (because of Mediafire). Be sure to remove that .txt extension in these cases.

Fixing crashes:
If you install Alchemy 5 from the links below, you should not have any crashes.
Alchemy 5 puts a version number in each igb (in hex it's 09 at offset 2C). No moddable version of the games is compatible with this. MUA PC 2006 is compatible with hex version 08. MrK created the 2c Hex Replacer that takes care of the problem for MUA.
I recommend to use the discovery nikita488 made: Replace the version in Alchemy itself by copying this file (thanks UltraMegaMagnus) into [Alchemy installation path]/DLL. Backup the original libIGCore.dll before replacing it.
Hex replacement works for other game versions as well, at least for igb's that have a structural compatibility with them (eg. loading screens and textures). Manually replace the value in offset 2C to whatever hex version the igb's of the game version are. This has only been tested on loading screens in MUA1 for Wii (Emu).

[ak2yny]

Please consider using the OpenHeroSelect GUI instead.


Stage & Herostat Helper, V3

What's new: New code, extendable, supports XML2 (eg. random roster).

This is a helper to set up your roster for MUA. It's done with OpenHeroSelect v4 (OHS). Adds functions to remove comment lines in herostat files plus roster.cfg editing (also silent launch).
There are different character selection stages and limits, which set the environment for the herostat and OHS. This batch program was created with that in mind.
It's a command line program, which means that the mouse can only be used to select and copy text. You will navigate through the setup process by pressing keys and "enter".
Extract it to the same folder where OHS is (replace existing files to get better default setups). Double-click on "Stage&HeroHelp.bat" to run it.

Download here

Features:
- Set up a stage and roster for MUA in as little time as possible.
- More than 130 selection stages and 7 layouts (each one with a ready-to-use setup) with hundreds of combinations.
- Visual guide (well it's only screenshots with numbers, but very helpful nonetheless).
- Full support for stage effects on every location of every stage.
- Options to set-up, randomize or edit your roster for MUA and XML2.
- Run OpenHeroSelect in automatic (silent) mode.
- Extendable. Add your own stages and effects.
- Many settings to set up the Helper to be more helpful to you.

Requirements:
- MUA with the cracked Game.exe or OCP 2
- OpenHeroSelect
Optional:
- 50 Roster Hack (or 36 Roster Hack), if you plan to use more than 27 heroes
- Custom Team Stage Collection and Skybox including Team Stage Select all by Outsider, if you plan to use these stages
- Correctly installed mods and boosters - instead of editing herostat.engb, put herostat texts into the mua/xml folder of OpenHeroSelect.

Known Issues:
- Images (previews) might not open or close on your PC.
- When images open, they steal the focus of the batch program.
- Custom mannequins are rotated weirdly on some locations of default stages.
  There may also be some clipping. (Applies to OCP mannequins too.)
- Effects may not line up exactly, depending on the mannequin.
