Title: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 07, 2007, 11:43PM
Compiled by our very own Blizz.
Get it here! (http://www.momoshare.com/file.php?file=164b7fd48a8ec794c166cac6e0b2762c)

Includes:
- Colossus
- Moon Knight
- Next-Gen Exclusive Villain Missions
- Personalized Item Drops for Colossus and Moon Knight
- Fix for the Ultimate Deadpool Portrait

This should have ALL the bugs fixed out of it. Even if you're using an older build of the mod, you WILL have to start a new game to access the item and comic mission expansions. Yesss.

EDIT: For those of us just signing on -- down the thread line are updates to this, fixing the Deadpool fix from a ghastly bug and adding support for the Italian version of the game. Or you can just get it from the site's news page, that one's kept always up-to-date.

Excellent! But what are the "Next-Gen Exclusive Villain Missions"? Something like the beat-the-crap-out-of Crimson Dynamo mission?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 08, 2007, 03:05AM
Eggsactly. There are five more available on the Next-Gen consoles-- and the PC, but, just like MK and Coll, they were locked up. Now they aren't. They should be available from the get-go, from the first moment you enter the mission menu after starting a new game :D

NICE! thanks! i haven't been keeping up with this but this will give me another reason to play this game. also, i hope we can get some of that downloadable content that'll be released in march (intuition tells me it's "very possible" ^_^)

I can't get this to download from that site. This is amazing work by the way. Any idea why I can't get it to download. I click on download after 10 seconds and it just goes to the next page where you upload and nothing happens. I have java enabled and allowed through Norton antivirus. Any help would be appreciated. I look forward to playing this mod.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 08, 2007, 12:23PM
Well, this can happen if you forgot to do what the site suggests (and keep your Java installed, enabled and up-to-date). If even updating the Java runtimes doesn't help, I'll mirror the file elsewhere as necessary.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: spectre_lance151 on January 08, 2007, 02:30PM
okay... is there any way I can have this mod (well, just the villain missions at least) and keep the cyclops replacement, short of opening it up in the compiler?

Post by: Bane1 on January 08, 2007, 04:50PM
I have enabled everything under security settings for Java. Not sure what is wrong really. Googled how to enable Java script and updated Java and they have a test at the java site to see if it works though the test did not work. Also checked my Norton settings. Trust me I don't want to be a pain and have you put this up on another site. If you do I would really appreciate it.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: durfal on January 08, 2007, 09:50PM
Though I don't need these files anymore I have a problem with dl anything from that site too since a week and a half ago.
Never thought about Java.
But I updated Java I think around the same time. So probably having the updated java is the problem! Don't know how to solve it though.

Quoteis there any way I can have this mod (well, just the villain missions at least) and keep the cyclops replacement, short of opening it up in the compiler?
The villain missions are added by the SIMULATOR.ENGB file from the DATA folder. And, IIRC, didn't the Cyclops mod include the Coll/MK herostat already?

After installing does my game ctd now when I try to load a saved game, but I guess that's the price one has to pay for changing a lot of files.

And Noelemahc, you might want to know about this:
(http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/3703/udpcw6.jpg)
So the small portray of ultimate DP is now haunted by ultimate MK (Resolution 800x600). But Moon Knight's pics are fine.
I hate to play the messenger of bad news...
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: menneb on January 09, 2007, 07:33PM
I think that may be the fix. IIRC the old icon contained some guy (cant remmeber if it was DP) I think he my have just edited MK's to match DP's...
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 09, 2007, 11:04PM
Ohcrap. Not again. I'm gonna check what's going on, might be that Blizz included the wrong portrait revision. I just wasn't up to checking EVERY file in the pack. Gah.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: BliZZ on January 10, 2007, 04:28AM
I included the most recent one you released. :P
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 10, 2007, 04:47AM
Okay, means 'twas my fault. Lemme check again... It's kinda hard to keep track, as the mipmaps seem to be called differently on my system (meaning that even on 640x480 I don't get those ghost images that others do).

EDIT: Yeah, I found where I screwed up >.<. Gonna fix it and upload with the next portrait batch, okay?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: BliZZ on January 11, 2007, 03:50PM
When you do, I suppose we will have to make a FINAL Final Next Gen Mod. :D

Before that, can someone with a next gen version of the game confirm whether or not X-Men is a pre-selectable team? (like FF, Avengers, or MK) If so, I'll fix up team_prefabs :P
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 11, 2007, 09:44PM
No, it's not. The guy who gave me the MK and Colossus files from the X360, he also gave me the whole of the DATA folder. The team_prefabs file is eggsactly the same as in the PC version. Fix it all you want, dude.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 13, 2007, 06:10AM
Fixed Ultimate Deadpool portrait fix (now doesn't that sound SILLY, kids?):
http://h1.ripway.com/ivank/hud_head_1702.rar
You know the drill. This has all the mips fixed up proper. I think. Won't hurt to check, but, as I said, I can't get those submips to load on my machine under ANY circumstances for some reason. Bleh.

Post by: Eniena on January 13, 2007, 02:03PM
Nice to see we're even further than ever to beating Activision and Raven Software's evil plans to force us out of all the good stuff we should've had in the first place.

I don't know about you guys but I'm declaring this to be a bonafide revolution! HOOAH!!!

Oh yeah, thanks for the mod, Noel.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD

Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: TooMuchCoffee on January 14, 2007, 02:56AM
All of the hud pics work fine on my machine now. Which, hopefully, means that the problem is solved once and for all. One last little thing: The readme.txt should have a disclaimer informing that the mod just works when a new game is started and that any previous saved games become useless -> ctd.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Alienmorph on January 14, 2007, 05:13AM
Hey there can be some compatibility problems with non-enlish versions of MUA? 'cos I'm Italian and off course I've the italian version of the game: I reinstalled it, I deleted the savgames and copied the files. No Colossus no MoonKinght. Nothing. Any idea? I'm really looking 4 new heroes and I prefert if someone tell me that I did some idiocy so the problem will solved...
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 14, 2007, 05:19AM
Oh, right. I forgot about that. I've made the patch for the OLD mod to support the italian version, get it here:
http://h1.ripway.com/ivank/MUA_ita_patch.rar
This doesn't add the simulator missions and items, but it DOES add the characters. Be mindful, as it requires the mod itself to already be installed. Just replace the files in the game with the files in the archive, and you're good to go. I'll re-make the simulator and item files and upload them separately in a moment.

EDIT: Here.
http://h1.ripway.com/ivank/MUA-ita-v2.rar
Same drill, these two files go into the DATA folder, overwriting the existing ones. Tell me if something still doesn't work, alright?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Alienmorph on January 14, 2007, 06:09AM
Now works perfectly, thanks. It's a problem excusively of the Italian version? 'cause every time that there's some interesting char disturbing his creator to ask the compatibilty patch would be not exactly my greatest ambition... again thank you so much.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 14, 2007, 06:27AM
You're welcome.
It's a problem for any non-English version of the game. Which means that, yes, unless a mod's author includes support for a localized version in his mod, you won't be able to use it comfortably. That's just how the game was made, nothing we can do about it.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: jacobivan on January 14, 2007, 06:35PM
After installing the mod, collosus and moonknight work ok, but I have no new missions in simulator menu.  There are 5 unlocked, but its mr Fantastic, Black Panther, Piledriver, Super Scrull and Spider man. Means, the mod unlocked wrong missions...
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 14, 2007, 09:57PM
O-kay. You sure the simulator.engb file extracted right? (Open it with any text or hex editor, do a search for CG (case-sensitive), if it fails to find anything, it's right)
Started a new game?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: BliZZ on January 14, 2007, 10:03PM
Um, it's definitely right. That, and Super Skrull is one of the next gen missions :P
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: phoenixforce on January 14, 2007, 11:37PM
once again, thanx to the mods for this. Just to confirm, the next gen missions are kurse, lizard, paibok, superskrull and thunderball, right? Did I miss out anything else?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 15, 2007, 12:04AM
Yeah, that's what they're supposed to be if everything works right. And I know of no reason why it should not. *shrug*

Post by: aerophex on January 15, 2007, 10:30AM
After installing the mod, I lose Hawkeye and Ronin, can I reimport the herostat file with those two characters and still get all the next gen goodies?  Any other files?

Great Work!
Thanks!
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 15, 2007, 10:59AM
Yeah, you only need to reuse the old herostat. It won't make you lose anything, if that's what you're worried about, but your old saves will still be unusable because of the comic missions and items updates.

Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 22, 2007, 09:31PM
That's an interesting effect. What version of the game are you using?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: RedSeminole on January 24, 2007, 04:34PM
Does the game have a version number? Sorry if that's a stupid question - I've looked all over and can't find one. I got the PC version the day after it was released, though. And if it makes a difference, I've copied all the files onto my computer so I don't need the DVDs to play it.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Noelemahc on January 24, 2007, 09:54PM
It doesn't have NUMBERS. I meant the regional version. Is it the US release, Euro release, are you using english language or some other?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD

It's the standard US release

Hey Guys. Last night I started playing a new game for the third time, this time using the GREAT next GEN add-on. Did anyone notice that when Colossus jumps.... there is no sound (from him)? Or did I mess something up. Everything else seems to work brilliantly... Thanks for a great mod...

I'm fairly certain that was sarcasm :P

Also, 360 is better than notta. After all, we partially got big C and Moony with the 360's files.

Also, the vip forums is FAR from an intelligible place. One of their threads is an argument over the possibility of modding Hawkeye in :D

Ayup. We had them stitched together from X360, X-Box and forgotten-in-PC files :D
QuoteNow for the cruel irony: Come March, the PSPers and Next-Geners will be downloadable on PC.
Are you SURE we'll manage to decipher the PSP model format till March? Your date might not be as accurate as you think :D

[/irony central]

Okay, now for seriousity. There have been NO confirmations as to WHO they will make downloadable, as well as the elaboration that for now only X-Box Live users (which means X360 and MAYBE X-Box) will get the DLC.

Post by: Cates on February 26, 2007, 09:47PM
I'm a new game owner and added Colossus and MK after beating the game once. This is why it's great to be a PC gamer--community content! One of my few complaints about the game was only 3 X-Men in the stock PC version, so having talented folks like you add Colossus is just great.

I love that Colossus and Wolverine can do the "fastball special." (I've tried several other characters, but it seems Colossus can ONLY throw Wolverine. True?) Just that fact alone adds so much to the gaming experience. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Great work, gang.

Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: BliZZ on February 27, 2007, 03:28AM
No, Mr Fantastic (only in pinball form) can also be thrown ;D

2 questions.

After installing this mod, I can no longer load a saved game, the game crashes to desktop.  Is that expected? 

2 - I had no idea about people being able to throw Wolverine ala fast ball special.  How do you do it?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: BliZZ on March 26, 2007, 07:00PM
'Use' button. Cage, Colossus, Thing, Ms Marvel can all throw him. Mr Fan (in pinball form) can also be thrown.

Hi guys,

Awesome mod.  However, (and this is the dumb part) can anyone please upload the original copies of the files -- items.engb, herostat.engb, review_paths.engb and simulator.engb? 

I was so excited at the prospect of being able to play as Moonknight that I accidentally backed-up the .itab files instead. 

From http://marvelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=31 (http://marvelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=31), there's really nothing that states that you can't play your old saved games once you put the patch on, even in the included README file, so yes, I can't continue my current game.

I was only recently able to purchase the game last Friday, and now I can't load my game.

Many thanks to the mod authors and fellow Moonknight fans!

Any time you add new characters or simulator missions you have to start over.  Old savegames won't work.  However, if you start a new game, then save over your old one you should still have all of your characters at the same level they were + have any costumes you unlocked.

Many thanks for the info.  I guess it'd be okay to start over if it meant I could use MoonKnight --- plus, if the character's levels are the same, it'd be easier.  Thanks!
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Teancum on April 24, 2007, 05:11AM
I would recommend installing the PSP mod as well before you start over.  That way you've got 27 characters and don't have to start over again later.

Teancum, just wanted to clarify what you mean here...

Do you mean, that after installing the mods and starting a new game
you just save over an existing game in the menu or do you mean to
overwrite your new save file on the disk? This is great news if you
can retain your characters and their levels. Can you clarify? Thanks.

Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Teancum on April 24, 2007, 01:35PM
Yeah, just save over an existing savegame.  Start at the beginning, save over the old one.  Or if you want to be really safe, save a new savegame, then delete the old one.  As I recall XML1/XML2 and MUA actually save characters unlocked/levels/etc in two separate files.

my first message in this forum. It could be otherwise:

Thank you. :bowdown:

I came across this forum from a link in Wikipedia, and I found myself with superb ports of Colossus and Moon Knight to play in my MUA.

This was a great job and I just wanted to say thanks. Of course I have some questions about other mods and so on...  :chuckle:

I read somewhere in this thread that it will be impossible to make the latecomers (Hulk, Venom and so forth) available for PC. I just wonder.. how is it that you could port Colossus and Moon Knight but not these new characters?

Just wondering, I'm not complaining. What you've already done and are doing in other mods is GREAT.

Cheers.

Yes, you need Winrar. Then copy all the files from the WinRar Evaluation Copy into your Marvel Ultimate Alliance file according to its corresponding folder.

Featuring an Iceman fix, a Cap fix, and a Daredevil fix; as well as some hud_head fixes and MK's 4th skin.
Iceman Fix = Because they misnumbered Iceman's skin 02 & 03, AoA had Icy hand effects and Bobby Drake had the full body Ice effects that Classic/Original had.
Cap fix = Gave him Might. Him lacking might is my #1 'WTF?' with the game.
Daredevil Fix = batons were misnamed in the herostat.

These skins still need some proper hud_heads:
Blade 4
Cap 1
Fantastic 4
MKnight 4
Powerman 4
Thing 4
Thor 4
Elektra 4

Also, any way to unlock MK's 4th costume via script?

Once those hud_heads and unlocking MK's 4th skin = done, I'd say upload this on the main site. I gave up on my renumbering process, it'd be too much a pain in the ass to distribute.

hello

I installed the moonknight and colossus files in to the directories but I can't see any of their powers when I look at their details.

I can choose then and move about the levels with them but they have no powers can't punch jump or anything, jusy walk about

Any idea why this is happening, is there something simple i've missed?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: aerophex on June 27, 2007, 11:30AM
did you also copy in thor's melee combat?  It's referenced around here somewhere, I forget where.  It should be included in the release package.

If you did that already, then it may be your PC oddly enough.  I have run into this very problem on a few of the mods.  Try another character or two and see if they work or get the same results.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: BliZZ on June 27, 2007, 11:49AM
No, Thor's melee isn't necessary for these 2, since they were built for MUA.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Gevth on June 27, 2007, 11:53AM

Are you sure you got the latest version?
If so, try to download it and install it again. Be sure all files are in place. If that doesn't work, well, I dunno.

I went and downloaded it again and copied everything over and for some reason when I moved thing from the packages directory things went over with out asking me if I wast to replace the files or not, and now it works.

Thank you very much

Post by: brohara on July 04, 2007, 02:39PM
Ok, here's a question...

Which file tells how many missions to list in the comic missions menu?

I've re-installed the game and installed the next-gen mod (again) and I STILL am only seeing the previous number(29?)of comic missions. Colossus and Moon Knight work fine, but I'm really curious about the Lizard mission, etc.

Files seem to be in the right places as far as I can see, and I know simulator.engb contains the mission parameters (I decompiled and checked it). I even tried the cheat to reveal all missions, to no effect. So is there another file that says to 'show x number of missions' in the list? Which file might that be? 
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: Teancum on July 04, 2007, 06:03PM
simulator.engb, found in the /data folder.  As long as you didn't have new simulator missions added before there shouldn't be a problem.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: brohara on July 04, 2007, 06:41PM
ok, that's perplexing.

As I mentioned, I already decompiled simulator.engb to see
if the new mission details were there, and they were.

You are supposed to see them in the missions list right away, correct?
Once I play through a new game I check as soon as I reach Stark Tower.

I'll keep digging. Thanks Teancum.

(MODERATOR EDIT: I removed the last page or so of useless posts, because it added nothing of any use to the thread.)





Ok I got it to work but I am missing the HUD icon for the fourth costume of MK and also should the Ultimate Deadpool HUD be the same colors as him because they are brighter? Any thoughts on why the HUD icon for the fourth costume is not working and why Deadpools Ultimate HUD is almost faded bright colors?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: cable2099 on September 06, 2007, 12:18PM
I have put in all files again for the fourth costume for MK and I seem to not be getting the stats for his fourth costume like I did before. Does anyone know what file I need to put in from this mod that will add those stats again? Also is someone going to make a HUD for MK's fourth costume?  I copied the HUD from the first costume and somehow it does not look right with his costume.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: cable2099 on September 06, 2007, 03:04PM
Ok I got the stats to work so that is no problem. So is anyone going to make a HUD for MK's fourth costume? I would think that people complaining about Deadpool's Ultimate HUD and the fact that someone changed that along with some other HUDs that they would at least make one for MK's fourth costume. Unless I am missing something and there was a HUD for the fourth costume.

How did I know someone was going to say that? Piece of advice to people who release skins: Dont release a skin that is not complete ala no HUD. Would we have liked it if Raven had left the HUD off of some of their skin releases? For one thing I dont know how to make a HUD and if I am going to download a skin I would at least want it to be completed by the author. What is the point of releasing a skin if it has no HUD? Better not to release it then. I call it lazy on the creator's part. Why make different HUD's for other characters that people are not happy with but they can not make one for the fourth costume of MK? Answer me that question please. This is one of those cause and effect things. Cause: No HUD for the skin. Effect: Me complaining. If someone had done the HUD in the first place than I would not be complaining about it.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: BliZZ on September 07, 2007, 09:04AM
This is one of those cause and effect things. Cause: You complaining. Effect: Me not posting the 4th MK hud. I could've, but apparently we, as a community, are lazy.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: VahnBlack on September 07, 2007, 09:17AM
Somehow, when i read cable2099's posts, Mojo Jojo from PPG comes to mind...

Anyways, what have you done to contribute to this modding community? Besides bitchin and ticking ppl off, nada, am i rite? First you complain about Raven, now you complain about the modders, who out of free will, getting nothing in return, basically kindness and generosity, SHARE their work bathed in sweat and blood, in hopes others will get to arms and help create a fully working character, and thus enhance the gaming experience as you so dearly desire and complain that Raven doesn't for your platform, and all we hear is "wah, wah, waaaaaaaaaahmbulance, dont realease your work unless its professional work quality you lifeless tards, i have no time to learn how to do it myself and YOU GUYS GOTTA DO IT FOR ME, or i'll cry, moan and whine about it in your forums". Guess what buddy, that's not gonna make anyone do what you're saying, that'll only tick their nerves.

This is one of those cause and effects things. Cause: You bitch. Effect: People bitch slap you.

You haven't stopped to think that maybe skinning is the only thing that said Modder can do (like me, so far a fully working character is still elusive, still haven't figured packages out) and that by contributing a skin, without hud, powerstyles or anything, they already are doing what others might not know how to, or have trouble, or simply doing better than a previous skin. Man, i shouldn't have to explain this to you, you aren't 7 years old...

Seriously, you stated you were 30 or something previously, had a wife, kids, work and etc.... You make it sooooooo difficult to belive behaving like that. Please, grow some sense and get a better understanding of how to live in a society, or at least in small groups. People may have told you already, and guess what, they were right, you are not (gasp) the center of the world, nor the universe, nor the multiverse. Sheesh.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: cable2099 on September 07, 2007, 09:47AM
Well, I would not have complained and I would not have posted my complaint if the HUD had been posted in the first place. So :P! Besides it is not my fault that the HUD was not posted before is it? If it was my fault than I would admit it but it is not so why I need to be condemned for someone else's mistake?
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: cable2099 on September 07, 2007, 12:05PM
I doubt you really had it to post Blizz because you would have done it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before I even started my incessant complaining. BTW I was not referring to the community as lazy just the one person who thought it would be funny not to release the HUD for the fourth costume. If you have it Blizz than prove it.
Title: Re: FINAL RELEASE: Next-Gen MOD
Post by: BliZZ on September 07, 2007, 12:15PM
Yeah, it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to miss this thread. I have all the time in the world and catch every post made in every thread the moment it is made. I don't owe you Chocolate egg and I do not feel the need to "prove" that I did the insanely simple task of editing MK's 1st hud to match the 4th skin. Fuck off, please.


PS: Uh, you DID call the community lazy, because hardly any of the skins made have corresponding huds and you stated that making a skin w/o an hud was lazy.

First, I'd rather download the "official characters alpha" mod. This "next-gen" mod is included in that one, plus another additional 2 characters (actually 9, but only 2 available at the same time), among other things.

Second, you have to start a new game (without carrying stats), otherwise stuff like that may happen.

Post by: lastsonofzod on January 03, 2008, 11:58PM
I just thought I would write in, and say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm a long term fan of the marvel universe, and when I saw UA come out I was thrilled by the concept, but somewhat ambivalent about the way that the various video game companies divided up the characters. It is nothing less than a joy to see that some few, dedicated fans have decided to bridge the gaps, and out of their own tireless efforts provide character for those of us less capable of such technomancy.
