Enjoy!
This is an updated version of the Cable made by BliZZ and worked on by others including Boreman, nodoubt_jr, and thetommyboy2002. The powers have mostly the same function as before. One added move is the double gun move. The animations are mostly different for every move compared to previous versions. The mod also includes right and left handed guns and a huge gun for use in his hand and on his back, all by iammingy.
Includes:
-9 skins by iammingy and boreman (you can use 6 at a time but the packages for all of them are included, so you can easily switch between them)
-2 mannequins by iammingy (you can use 1 at a time but you have a choice)
-gun and shoulder pad boltons (extracted and edited by iammingy)
-unique icons, banner, huds, loadscreen (loadscreen converted by iammingy)
-power sounds and voice sounds (voice sounds converted by Teancum)
Powers:
Bionic Arm: Increased melee attack with knockback.
Pistol Fire: Uses guns to fire projectiles, chance to knock down enemies hit.
Plasma Rifle: Uses rifle to fire intensely focused beam that can pierce through enemies.
Telekinetic Sweep: A burst of mental energy that knocks an enemy off their feet.
Confusion: A radial blast of mental energy that confuses enemies and makes them flee.
Time Distortion: A burst of mental energy that has a chance to slow enemies by 50% by distorting their perception of time.
Tactics: Uses combat knowledge to organize and prepare his allies, increasing defense.
Meditation: Channeling his mental powers, Cable heals himself and his allies
Psychic Slam: Surrounding enemies are hoisted into the air by telekinesis and slammed into the ground.

Instructions
Removing the shoulder pads:
If you do not want the shoulder pads to be on each skin all the time, remove this line from the herostat
BoltOn {
bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
model = models/bolton/cable_shoulder_pads ;
slot = ebolton_cape ;
}
If you do not want to change which skins use the shoulder pads, open the powerstyle file ps_cable.engb and edit these lines (either remove them for skins you don't want to have shoulder pads, or replace the skin_filter number with a skin that you do want to have shoulder pads)
trigger {
bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
boltslot = ebolton_cape ;
model = models/bolton/cable_shoulder_pads ;
name = bolton ;
skin_filter = 21005 ;
time = 0 ;
type = ce_bolton ;
}
Changing skins:
The skins are numbered as shown above. The names for each skin are also given (although you can also change them to what you prefer). All the packages for each skin are given in the download. Since you can only have 6 skins at a time, you can't load all of them. By default, the first 6 from the list above are in the herostat. To change the skins:
1. Find the skin number you want to replace
2. Find the skin number you want to replace it with
3. Change the number of the skin in the herostat from the one you want replaced with the new one.
4. Also replace the name of the skin.
Example, replace Classic with Providence. Classic is 21001. So look in the herostat and you will see:
skin = 21001 ;
skin_01_name = Classic ;
By looking at the list above, Providence is the name of the skin we want to replace it with and the number is 21009. That means that the replaced version should look like:
skin = 21009 ;
skin_01_name = Providence ;
Mannequin switching:
There are two mannequins that come with the mod. One is numbered 21001.igb and the other 21002.igb. The game will only load the 21001.igb mannequin, so if you want to switch to the other one, just copy 21001.igb and rename 21002.igb to 21001.igb.
Oh cOol. I can't wait ! ;)
I would like to know what people want for the shoulder pads. There are two options
1. Shoulder pads on all skins all the time
2. Shoulder pads on select skins (so not all of them) but the pads will not be visible for any skin in the menu screen or when the players are in non-combat zones
Let me know what you think and I will adjust it. Vote for option 1 or 2.
I will post pics when I get a chance, for now see iammingy's thread for what the pads look like and the first post in this thread to see what a skin without pads would look like
http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=435.msg29092#msg29092
Ok, let me see if i get it...
You are saying that EITHER...
All skins have shoulder pads...
OR
Shoulder pads that will appear ONLY on selected skins, BUT this pads will NOT be visible in the selected skin in everypart of the game, like for example the menu screen or non-combat zones
To be honest... i am kind of a perfectionist. I don't like stuff to look partially finished (even though it would be)... so i would rather say... option 1.
Even though my favorite looks for Cable don't use Shoulderpads:
http://www.marvel.com/universe3zx/images/7/7b/Cable_head.jpg
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/dpxcomics/ultimate/ultimatex076.jpg
I think that having the shoulderpads partially in-game would look off, and sometimes might get frustrating or even weird.
So i guess that we will probably be specting skins like:
http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/img/c/Cable.jpg
Not one of my personalm favs but hey... still... their could be some adaptations of the other version but WITH shoulder pads... if done right... they will still rock.
Don't know what other people think... but i vote option 1 for those reasons.
Cheers
yes thats exactly what i meant, and thanks for the vote
i will post pictures hopefully tonight so people can make more informed decisions
I vote for option 2 because:
1. Some costumes didn't have shoulder pads in comics.
2. People can "choose" the ones they want to have shoulder pads by editing the powerstyle. (versus the "all or none" situation in option 1, which lacks flexibility)
3. Cable doesn't need the shoulder pads anymore in non-combat zones because he's safe in non-combat zones... haha
Maybe it's time to figure out re-rigging of models. Then we can capture X model with pads in MUA, import, rig the skeleton and export.
Now I know that's another big step to learn, but in the end this is Cable we're talking about. We want to do him right.
In the meantime I'd vote for #2 as well.
I'm not quite sure I understand the options right, but I'll vote for #2 too.

Option 1 means bolting the shoulder pads in the herostat. This means all skins will have the shoulder pads.
Option 2 means bolting the shoulder pads in the powerstyle. This means the shoulder pads can be bolted onto specific skins. The downside is you won't see the shoulder pads in non-combat zones because the powerstyle is not called in these areas.
Actually nevermind the vote, I will make it so that the downloader has a choice of option 1 or 2 and can easily switch, thanks for the votes so far
I thought you could specify a skin for boltons in the herostat. Or is that only FX?

Yeah, it only works for effects.
Norrin, I assume you already are, but you should use that HUGE gun Iammingy posted in his thread.
Yeah I will, we had discussed it between ourselves before its release
Yeah, it was tailor-made according to Norrin Radd's taste, but I thought other people might want it for their mods (eg. Forge, etc). So, I put the gun and the shoulder pads boltons in my thread instead. Since the skins are only gonna be used in the Cable mods, I will just release them thru the mods. :)

As simply and funny option 3 may sound... it actually made sense in my head XD
Cheers
Here are some screens of the big gun move:

He is pretty much all done, just the power sounds need to put in a file, which Teancum may be able to take care of
edit:
great :thumbsup:
Yeah, I'll take care of it by Tuesday at the latest. I'll probably be done by tomorrow, but I don't want to hold myself to that cuz things come up.
Cable Mod V1 released, see first post. There are also some instructions for how to change the skins and shoulder pads on the skins, and also how to switch between mannequins.
thanks to Teancum for converting the voice sounds
Quick question! I installed the Cable mod, but when I have him do the regular attack, there is no animation, but there are sound effects. Did I install something incorrectly?
I suppose I should add that his heavy attack also is a bit off. His hands light up like he is charging it, but there is no visible attack, only the sound.
You need the Official Characters Mod installed for almost all custom characters. Install it first, then install Cable. (if you haven't already)
Definitely have it installed. :( Was playing with Cyclops, Hulk, etc last night.
Gonna reinstall again and see if that helps.
its possible i forgot to put a file in the download, i will check in a few hours
edit:
I assume you were starting a new game when you tried him, is this correct?
Not sure what happened, but reinstalling fixed it. Maybe I didn't have my Official Char mod completely up to date last time I installed. Anyways, thanks for the help and great work!
And definitely started a new game. I learned to do that every time...the hard way, heh.
Ok great news, thanks for letting me know
No prob. I'd rather ask to make sure the issue was on my end just to help iron out the problem as soon as possible and perhaps help others avoid sharing it.
Now I just need someone to put together a Domino mod so I can have the original X-Force. :D
But again, great stuff. Thanks.
Norrin Radd, I have been playing your mod for a while. I found that I can't charge Bionic Arm. All I do is just one swing. Is is meant to be a "chargeable"?
sometimes bionic arm switchs places with confusion. anyone else hasve this problem?
No, it has always been power 1, for me.
Power 6 is my favorite move now!!

Thats a good question, I will try to take a quick peak when I can. From what I remember, I don't want it to be chargeable, so if it is, then I will have to remove stuff.

Oh, ok. I am asking because I saw this in the descriptions:

Ok thanks, I'll try to remove it then update
Gotta say how much I love this mod. Been using it to work on XML1 conversion stuff.
Ok i removed the 'charging' thing, thanks for the notice iammingy. It's still the same link.
No problem. I wasn't sure whether it was intended or not. Thanks for the update.
how can I fix this problem?I try to install cable mod and...(http://i002.radikal.ru/0804/4d/ccc0b20e3189t.jpg) (http://radikal.ru/F/i002.radikal.ru/0804/4d/ccc0b20e3189.jpg.html)
There may be a problem with your herostat. I do not think it is a problem with the mod itself. How did you try to install him?
I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank everyone involved with making this Cable mod a reality. Cable is my favorite Marvel character bar-none and I was really disappointed that he didn't make the cut in MUA. I have used Blizz's Cable mod but this one is so superior to that one. I'm loving every minute of it. I do have one or to questions to whoever feels like answering:
1) After I use Cable's plasma cannon it stays in his hand regardless of what other attack I do until a room is loaded or I go into hero select at a shield location. It's not really a big deal but I was just wondering if I did something wrong on my end.
2) Is it at all possible (or feasible) to give Cable a psimitar attack? I imagine a boost like Moon Knights staff boost where Cable pulls out a Psimitar for a period of time and has increased melee and mental damage for the duration of the boost. Just wondering.
All in all though, great job and thanks for putting so much effort in something you didn't get paid for. Now if I can just get that darned Cable mod working on X-Men Legends II...

I'm not sure what is wrong because I don't have this problem. He should always put his gun away after he shoots.

This should be possible although you would need to check for the right animations. Right now this mod has similar powers as to what he has in XML2 PSP version.
Could the gun issue be rooted in the fact that I have the Next Gen mod installed by not the Official character mod? I thought about it but since Cable was the only one I really wanted to use I didn't install it.
hm, I don't think so. Did you make sure to delete all your old Cable files and herostat before installing this mod?
Sure did. I just had to re-format my hard drive so it was a fresh install of MUA as well as the Cable Mod
I also have this problem sometimes, but he puts the gun away after i use the attack a second time.
Thanks for letting me know, that's pretty weird if it works sometimes but other times it doesn't. If it didn't work at all it may be easier to find what the problem is.
I've noticed that some AI have these sorts of problems. For instance, when the AI is using Gambit there's occasions where the staff doesn't disappear after a move. It's possible that's a bug with the game, as some people have reported default characters doing that too.
I finally had a chance to play around some more with the Cable mod and I found some additional issues. Again I am not complaining as I think this mod is friggin awesome. But I'm hoping that maybe addressing the issues I'm having will help lead to whatever I might've done wrong:
1) Along with the previously addressed issue of Cable's bolton plasma rifle being stuck in his hand once he uses it, the gun has a massive delay.
You activate it and about 3-5 seconds later it fires.
2) A lot of Cable's basic melee animations seem to be missing. I can walk up to a destructible object, hit the button and destroy it but Cable makes no swing. This is prevelent with the basic and strong attacks. Most of the other melee attack seem to work.
So again this may just be how the mod was written and if so, that's cool. But if not I'd like to figure out what's wrong and resolve it. Thank you to anyone who takes time out to listen and pontificate with me about this.
For the first issue, the gun move was made to do that.
For the second issue, you could try installing the latest version of the "official" character mod, since you may need some files from there. Also you should make sure to start a new game because he uses a new fightstyle.
Ok cool, I'll definately install the Official characters MOD and I'm assuming that as long as I don't edit the herostat.engb I can take advantage of those files without actually adding any of those characters. I was also wondering how to go about changing up Cable's passives. Currently, the Dominus Objective and the Cone of Silence passives are attached to his X-Force skin, and just because I'm a big Cable geek I thought they would make more sense attached to his Tech Support skin. Just wondering if I could switch those around.
decompile the file cable.engb in /talents
look near the end of the file and you will see how the passives are setup. You can change them from there.
Much abliged, Norrin. As always, you rock.
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that after installing the Official Character mod, Cable now handles like a dream; all his animations are present and his bolton gun works properly as well. Thanks again to everybody who took time out and answer this newbie's questions and thanks again to everybody involved in making this awesome mod.
That's great to hear :thumbsup:
just an idea...have u ever thought about making a Cable model where he's super jacked...maybe using Colossus as a base...
http://www.newsarama.com/marvelnew/Cable/Cable1cover.jpg.jpg
The problem is that most models are symmetric. We were lucky to get a couple that weren't so that iammingy and boreman could make some great Cable skins.

Just wanted to report that I successfully moved Cable's passives around. Then I got to thinking....
I never liked the idea of certain passives assigned to certain costumes. I usually pick my favorite skin and stick with it. So why not move them around for everybody? Then I got to wondering if you could add more than 3 passives to any one skin. Has anybody ever tried that? Is it even possible? Just wondering.
Mod updated with small fix to talent file and powerstyle (for first power). If you have the older version just overwrite the talent and powerstyle files.
Sorry to bump this, but the download link is gone
Use the link in the mod catalogue.
i cant download it!
can anyone tell me why or make a new download? plz
i want to play with cable
Please use the link in the character mod catalog as said right before your post.
thanks for the cable skin!! :cable: :cable: :cable: :cable: :cable:
Any chance someone still has the screenshot of all nine skins kicking around? The link in the OP is broken, and it'd be really great if I didn't have to spend an age swapping stuff around in herostat just to pick the ones I like.
Thanks!
This might help -- there are five Cable skins with individual pictures here:
http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4122.msg77510.html#msg77510
Thanks for the link, but those skins seem to be for a different model (dark_mark's Cable I believe). From what I can find, that version has never been made into a working mod. It's a shame too - the mannequin looks great.
