wow!!!!!!!

BTW, there is an extra S in the team bonus for F4.

And IW's multiple shot power is called Kinetic Bolts. :)

This looks even more amazing than the first! About when in the year can we expect a Brotherhood Edition? No rushing intended.

oh lol, i didnt even notice that, i'll fix it next update

the Brotherhood Edition wont be ready for a while, i need to fix up some characters and do some more mods for it

Just curious, but there's actually 22 characters shown as the final roster.  Who didn't actually make the cut?

no theres only 21, Human Torch, is shown twice, once at the end of the first row and at the top of the second row.  Moon Knight was replaced by Spiderman.

Ah, dang my eyes!

i also wanted to mention, for the next x_voice update, i'll be including all these characters menu callouts by Nick Fury, and if theres enough room, maybe at least one menu break line for the characters that dont have one.

This mod is EXCELLENT.  And I appreciate how all the characters included are up-to-date.  Is there a way to unlock Iron Man (perhaps through modifying new_game.py?)

you mine as well collect his armor. What the use if you have played as him already? Enjoy the others for awhile lol. The unlock code for it works on keyboard I have tried many times.

heres a py script that unlocks everyone and Iron Man,
http://www.mediafire.com/?1sxixym1qgw

just replace and place here: Scripts/menus/new_gamh.py

Thanks I figured it out: I wanted to see the new skins for him.

In case you wanted to use some more MUA related characters, i just released Dr Doom, Luke Cage, and Nick Fury here http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=970.msg40982#msg40982, as well as Hawkeye a couple of post down.

Is there a way of getting PC MUA skins to XML2 because I hate Invisible Woman's PS2 hair. :iwoman:

no the pc mua skins dont work in xml2, so we can only use ps2 and xbox which both use the short hair model

Update/Fix Version 1
download: http://www.mediafire.com/?j4qkjmjnjka

This is an update for the XML2 Marvel Universe v4.

Just unpack after having installed the XML2 Marvel Universe v4 and replace those files that came in the package with these new files.

It includes:
- The latest update to the main menu Danger Room icons
- Up to date characters_heads.PKGB
- Updated Team Bonus file to fix spelling mistake and to rearrange some team bonuses (this fixes the Fantastic Four typo)
- Updated Danger Room item rewards for character challenges so characters get items they can actually use
- Adds official hud heads from MUA for Iron Man's new MUA skins

No need to start a new game with any of these updates/fixes. Now you are all up to date :).

NO LONGER NEEDED, ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE FINAL VERSION

Can IW fly now?

no, i never had any plans of make her a flying character

Very nice

I just got X-Legends 2, I have a query about this mod Which files do I need to backup and what is the name of the folder which I have to backup?

the only files that this would replace is:
Data/boltonactoranims.XMLB
Packages/generated/maps/package/menus/characters_heads.PKGB
Textures/ui/mini_convo_icons.IGB
UI/menus/danger_room.engb

so those are the ones i would backup.

does the pack replace Wolverine since i dont want wolverine to be replaced.

Quote from: nodoubt_jr's first postThe mod/package doesn't replace anything.  It has its own herostat, team bonus, and new save spot.  The point is to be able to run XML2 regularly, but run the Heroes Edition on its own.

I've been using this yet for some reason Elektra's mission pulls in default men instead of the ninjas. Is there another NPCS stat I need to have for this to work?

EDIT: Turns out I had too many people in my NPC Stat so I took out the ones who don't appear skin-wise (Avalanche, Nick Fury, etc). It worked then.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I'll be releasing updates for the mods featured in this pack, so far here's a new Captain Marvel http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4051.msg86506.html#msg86506 and Spider-Woman http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4051.msg86508.html#msg86508. Eventually I will pack up the new updates and release an updated package. But if you don't want to wait for that go ahead and use the new ones.

So far the new package works even better than this current one. I got no crashes and the disappearing effect issue barely happens now and it didn't show up for me until the last act. Oh an I never ran into the entities not showing up issue that I did with the current version.  Overall it works a lot better. Also expect new skins for scarlet witch and iron man, plus danger room missions for all except iron man.

Not sure when the updated package will be released but for now keep your eye on this thread http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4051.0.html for updated character mods.

Very good mod! :) However, I can't seem to start a new game, eventhough I've dragged and dropped every folder to their corresponding folder. ( A few times there were the same name folders in there so one of them had to be renamed. ie filename (2), but that can't be the problem can it?) I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. Please help! Thanks

G

yes that is the problem, everything in the package needs to be as is, no renaming of folders.

edit:

also wanted to say that in about two or three weeks i will be releasing an updated version of this edition with all the latest mod updates that i have been releasing here http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4051.0.html

Hmmm ok, should I have the folders replaced then? I'm not sure what to do now, it will take a long time to take out all the ones which have a (2) next to them. :(

Yes. It doesnt actually replace the folder, even though the computer says that, it actually merges them. But if you are really worried, then backup those folders (you can do another folder on your computer, name it something like "Original Stuff" and save them there in case you want to set everything as it was). Also remember what the Notes section said:

"The only thing that will be replaced is the character heads package, but don't worry it has every character in this edition and every XML2 mod released so far, also the main dangeroom icons are included in this pack so that every new mod and some npc have their own icons. "

Everything else is new, and wont replace anything.

Ok thanks for the help- i'll try to sort it out as best I can :P

G

Final version released. Check the first post.

Final Version includes all the updated characters previously released here http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4051.0.html, plus I added some more skins to Iron Man and Scarlet Witch. Also added Danger Room Missions to Spiderwoman, Daredevil, Blade, Mr Fantastic, and Ghost Rider.

Also while testing this version I didn't have any crashes and the previous bugs were no longer present. I cleaned them up and got rid of unneeded things and it all seems to move smoother.

I'm 99% sure this will be the final version  ;)

Awesome, thank you! It's a wonderful Christmas present!

I agree!

Thanks for this :)
Amazing work as usual ^^

Excelent! Very good work!

I've been trying to figure out the team bonuses for marvel universe edition. I got some of them but not all. Is there someone who can print them out here?

Use XMLBCUI and decompile team_bonuh.engb. and there is were you'll find all the team bonuses

ok, thanks =)

Yes, you can just edit the heromarv.engb file like you would the herostat.engb file

thanks

Out of this world epic they're my favorite superheroes multi epic :madrox:

The Marvel Universe Edition has been updated to version 1.1. Several files have been renamed to improve compatibility with OpenHeroSelect (OHS) v4.8.0:
- The herostat is now called hero_mue.engb
- The team_bonus file is now called team_b_mue.engb
- The danger room file is now called danger_mue.engb
- The mod now includes its own characters_heads package, characters_h_mue.pkgb
- The new_game script file is now called new_mue_.py
- The mod now includes its own new_game_hard script file, called new_mue__hard.py
- The exe is now called Xmen2_MUE.exe. It is now the smaller cracked exe, and it references the updated file names.
- The herostat entries and roster file have been separated out to be easily used with OHS.

It is recommended that you reinstall the game to use this new version.

The link for this mod was previously down; I've now fixed it.
