IRON FIST mod v1.4 (fixed the no-power bug)

[Schwizzle]

Whoa...nevermind. I'm kinda new at this and didn't realize I couldn't resume a saved game (even if I replaced a character I never used *cough* Iceman *cough*).

Works great, and now I have a New New Avengers Lineup.


P.S. I noticed on the Dazzler Mod video that custom Team associations can be made, i.e. the game recognized Dazzler as an X-Man and under "Blonde Ambition."

Would it be possible to add Iron Fist to "New Avengers," despite the fact that the New Avengers bonus sucks.

Yes, that is possible.
First, decompile "team_bonus.engb" from
..\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\data
with XMLBC(UI).

Then, add this piece of code

Code Select Expand


      hero {
      name = ironfist ;
      }

at the end of the "New Avengers" section like so:

Code Select Expand


   bonus {
   descbonus = +5 All Resistances ;
   descname1 = New ;
   descname2 = Avengers ;
   powerup = shared_team_increase_resistances ;
   sound = common/team_bonus_nav ;
      hero {
      name = lukecage ;
      }

      hero {
      name = spiderman ;
      }

      hero {
      name = spiderwoman ;
      }

      hero {
      name = wolverine ;
      }

      hero {
      name = drstrange ;
      }

      hero {
      name = ronin ;
      }

      hero {
      name = hawkeye ;
      }

      hero {
      name = ironfist ;
      }

   }


Iron Fist should round off the New Avengers bonus because the maximum number of characters per bonus is eight.

Ok, I have updated the mod with sounds. Kudos to Teancum!

[Teancum]

Glad to help.

Another basic question:

What are the criteria for unlocking Iron Fist's last 3 skins? I have defeated hundreds of enemies by now and only have up to the tournament skin.

[Teancum]

The third skin for any character requires 175 kills.  To get the 4th for any modded character you have to enter the 'all costumes' cheat.

hey mingy, just wondering what future plans you had for iron fist?

[iammingy]

I don't think I will give any more changes to this mod, but I think I *might* make a side mission (rather than comic book missions because there is a limited number of free slots for comic book missions. I think these slots should be given to the official characters IMO.) However, I will work on other mods and skins before this.

I just tried this mod and it works great so far.. except when Ironfist is idle (and in the selection screen) he moves briefly then freezes totally still like a statue.  Is this normal or are there idle stance animations that I'm not seeing for some reason? Thanks

For the menu selection screen:
If you are seeing what is shown in the preview on the first page, then it should fine. He does shake a bit at the beginning; that is his menu_action anim.

For in-game:
He doesn't have an "unique" idle anim, but he uses the default instead. I think the "bored" anim is executed once in a while?

I didn't give him an idle anim because I have used up all anim sets for his powered and normal attacks. I used 3 4_combat anim sets (Elektra, Nick Fury, Daredevil) and the common/shared anim set for Iron Fist, none of which have an "unique" idle anim.

If all normal melee attacks and the powered attacks work fine for you, then you are seeing what I had intended for this mod.

Awesome mod... great moves... too bad you are not going to keep working on him.

It would be nice to see if it's possible to find a better model for his first two skins. Nothing wrong with tommy's models, i am a BIG fan of his work since Freedom Force but i don't really think that style TRULY fits MUA.

I was wondering if there is ANY way to HEX Blue mages collar+belt into a simple char model like spidey? Would that make a more MUA-ish model for Iron fist?

Just thinking out loud...

Cheers

I haven't retired. I am still here.

I don't know how to HEX out those stuff. I can import and export them again with 3DS MAX, but I can only make stationary models due to my "noobiness" in using 3DS MAX. (I have only started using MAX for less than a month.) Blue Mage's collar doesn't really fit Iron Fist, but it might look good on Dracula.
