Notes for V1.3: :iceman:
1. Added a 6th skin (X-Men costume) and the corresponding HUD
Notes for V1.2: :iceman:
1. Fixed the missing chill effect for the Ultimate costume
If you have installed V1.1, then you just need to replace Iceman's herostat with this:
stats {
ailevel = 1 ;
autospend = support ;
body = 5 ;
characteranims = 08_iceman ;
charactername = Iceman ;
level = 1 ;
menulocation = 19 ;

playable = true ;
powerstyle = ps_iceman ;
scriptlevel = 3 ;

skin_02 = 03 ;
skin_02_name = Spiky ;
skin_03 = 02 ;
skin_03_name = Bobby Drake ;
skin_04 = 04 ;
skin_04_name = Original ;
skin_05 = 05 ;

}
talent {

}
talent {

}
StatEffect {
bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
fxlevel = 1 ;
skin = 01 ;
}
StatEffect {
bolt = Bip01 R Hand ;
effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
fxlevel = 2 ;
skin = 03 ;
}
StatEffect {
bolt = Bip01 L Hand ;
effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
fxlevel = 2 ;
skin = 03 ;
}
StatEffect {
bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
fxlevel = 1 ;
skin = 02 ;
}
StatEffect {
bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
fxlevel = 1 ;
skin = 04 ;
}
StatEffect {
bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
fxlevel = 1 ;
skin = 05 ;
}
}
You might need to start a new game for the changes to take effect.
:bowdown1: Thanks Gevth for pointing out the limits of the herostat! :bowdown1:
Notes for V1.1: :iceman:
1. Changed the hit-effect for Ice Slide
2. Fixed the missing HUD for the Original costume
:bowdown1: Thanks SpongeSpider for reporting the bug! :bowdown1:
Notes for v1.0: :iceman:
This mod gives Iceman:
1. ice-sled effects for his "Ice Slide" power.
2. an ice-shield model for his blocking animation
3. ice beam effect for his trip animation
4. a 5th costume (Ultimate Iceman) and the corresponding HUD
5. a fix in the cost of skill points in the talents file
6. a fix in the Xtreme that can damage all enemies including bosses
Instructions:
* Please refer to the readme included in the download.
* You may want to consult The Boy Sanga's tutorial (http://danmallinson.co.uk/MUA/tutorial.jpg) if you don't know how to edit your herostat. However, you can use Norrin Radd's Heroselect (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=732.0) if you think all these steps are tedious.
* It is highly recommended that you start a new game with default stats after you have altered the herostat or installed a mod.
(http://xs123.xs.to/xs123/08031/new_game_with_default_stats738.jpg.xs.jpg) (http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs123&d=08031&f=new_game_with_default_stats738.jpg)
1. Ice-sled effects:
I finally did it after spending some time studying the XML1 effects. Yay! I used most of the codes from XML1, but it's not a direct conversion. :(
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08230/iceman_sled340.png)
2. Blocking effects and model:
The animation was clearly designed for something like this, but the developers didn't make any effects and models. @_@ The ice shield is a custom model I modified from MUA, so it will turn red when your enemies hit you.
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08230/iceman_block339.png)
And, I think the developers were trying to copy Marvel VS Capcom. Well, at least I am. :P
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08230/iceblock495.gif)
3. Tripping effects:
The developers used the same animation from XML2, but they forgot to add the ice-beam effects... So, I added them and defined them properly in the powerstyle. :D Now. it deals cold damage instead of physical damage.
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08230/iceman_trip634.png)
4. Ultimate Iceman:
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08230/ultimate_iceman_hud646.png)
The XML1 version (which can be found in the Skin Mega Pack) was really low quality; it was 128x64. I made this Ultimate Iceman (ice form) using Ultimate Iceman (human form) from XML2 and the textures of Iceman's Classic costume from MUA.
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08230/ultimate_iceman971.png)
5. X-Men costume:
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08244/hud_x-men400.png)
This is Iceman's human form before he started wearing leather coat.
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08244/iceman_x-men684.png)
The one in Marvel vs Capcom is a variant of this costume, but this costume has many variants.

nice let me be the first to post a reply to this awesome man i was waiting for something like this :D
Thank you! :D
I hope people haven't kicked Iceman out of their gang of 27 characters. :rofl:
Is it dorky if I say this is "cool"? :)
Nice upgrades. I wonder: Does your knowledge of the ice slide lend itself to an upgrade of Magma and Avalanche's slide abilities?

Thanks. I think they work the same way. :nod:
Wow, that ice slide effect is awesome and the addition of ultimate iceman is a nice touch.
now to decide if i should remove iceman from the "to be replaced" list...
Good work Iammingy , it was a bit of a let down that ice-man didnt have the ice-slide but lucky we have you :D
Iceman is back on my roster again, Mr. half-man, half-amazing!
Great work as always iammingy.
Thank you!! I tried and tried to get that sled to work to no avail. (great works)
I just tried the mod and great job! I never really saw how the default Iceman slide looked like Iceman's comic slide. The only glitch I noticed is that Iceman's hud for his "Original" costume won't work.
Thanks guys! :)

What's wrong with the slide? You can't see what it looks like in the pic I showed above?
For the Original costume, I know what's wrong and I can fix that. Sorry about that though. I will change the hit-effect of the slide power, too.
I meant the un-modded version of Iceman's Ice Slide didn't really look like the Iceman's slide in the comics and you're version does look like the comic version. I'll fix my post.
Oh, ok. Sorry for my misunderstanding.
It was really my fault, I didn't really make my post clear.
OK, I have uploaded the update.
If you have installed v1.0, then you just need to put the files from the powerstyles folder and the packages folder to their corresponding folders in MUA.
Thanks SpongeSpider for reporting the bug! :bowdown1:
cool job ^_^
About time the Ice Slide was added back in - I REALLY wish the dev's had figured this out on their own though! Iceman ALWAYS has Ice Slide - its like removing Spideys web or keeping Invisible woman from flying :P which has been fixed already ;)
All 'n all a GREAT addition... I hope you figure out why the cold effect won't show up - but even if you don't it still rocks ;)
Thanks guys.
I was thinking of incorporating Iceman's spiky ice armor from XML1 into MUA, but the armor doesn't work that well on top of MUA skins (in both XML2 and MUA). It works well on XML2 skins, however. So, I dropped the idea.
What you guys see here are what I have planned for Iceman long time ago. There is still room for one more skin, the 6th costume, though.
Awesome, can I use this in the next Xbox update?
--Oh, and if we ever update the Official Characters mod again we should totally put this, the Daredevil swing and Invisible Woman updates in there.
Yeah, but this upgrade is only compatible to the PC version for now. I need to convert the ice shield texture from DXT1 to DXT3 to make it XBOX-compatible.
If you do, don't include Daredevil's baton swing because the baton swing takes away his long double jump. Some people might not like it.

I agree with you, iammingy. I don't think anyone would complain about the additions to Iceman and Sue, but I personallly like DD's unique jump and haven't installed the baton swing. Be nice to have skins 3 and 4 for Ronin to add to an update too to get rid of the "incomplete" status, though I'm sure that's not really a priority for anyone (myself included.)
DD also has a unique air smash doesn't he?
Yes, he does.
Ultimate Iceman can have his chill effects now thanks to Gevth's discovery of the limits in the herostat. This proves that the bug has nothing to do with PS2 skins!
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08242/chillout950.png)
The code below is the updated herostat for Iceman. You will notice that the chill effects lags a little bit during the menu_action and menu_goodbye animations for the "Bobby Drake" (3rd) costume because I took out the animation filter to yield more space for all these StatEffects. Other than that, he's the same as before.
stats {

Knew you guys would figure it out ;)
Wow this mod is "cool" hehe. hey iammingy can you create a power for iron man? Cause i like to see iron man with a uni beam power (similar to cpt.marvel).
Thanks!
I can't take anymore new requests until I finish my old ones. I had been working on these upgrades for Iceman and Invisible Woman for a while already... I just got the time to finish them off recently. I still got a long list of stuff to do. I am very sorry. :(
well its alright :thumbsup:
Added a new costume, see first post for the update.
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08244/iceman_x-men684.png)
I love the new skin. Way cool
Hey, dig the new skin man. Nice job!
I know you are very busy but I would ask with you can do a mod that he start in human form and turn on ice form when you beggin to walk ?

Ok... I will think about it. :iceman:
Oooh, if you do that, you should do a full-ice form of the Bobby Drake skin :D
Man, that'd be awesome. 3 of the 4 skins would be human form, and they transform when attacking or using a power. Cool idea Sasquatch.
Yes, I will make it something like this:
from microheroes and comics, respectively:
(keep the sunglasses, pants, shoes, and coat; everthing else iced-up)
(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08244/blanchett_icemanforspaz171.gif)(http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08244/170419-28505-iceman_super802.jpg.xs.jpg) (http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs128&d=08244&f=170419-28505-iceman_super802.jpg)
So, the set-up I have in mind is:
1. x-men (my reskin, done) --> Classic (official MUA)
2. ultimate (offical XML2) --> ultimate ice-form (my kit-bash, done)
3. Bobby Drake (official MUA) --> Bobby Drake ice-form (not started yet)
I think this is probably same as what you guys have in mind. :D
However, what should I do with the Original and Spikey costumes? :idea:
EDIT: By the way, I notice that the ice shield for blocking doesn't get removed soon enough when Iceman evade/roll. It's nothing big, but it might annoy some people. I need to think about how to fix this without removing all the work I have done for blocking. haha
Keep the original, make the spiky one costume 5 or something. The original is too unique to discard completely IMHO.

No no, I definitely want to keep the Original and Spikey costumes. I just need some ideas for the human forms for these two costume.
hey could I use the 6th skin in xml2?

Oh, I see. Surely iceman wore something when he wasn't in snowy-mode in those first few issues of X-Men. That seems easy enough to come up with. Spiky, I'm not so sure.

Yeah, I think I will reskin civilian male from XML1 for Original. I am not sure about Spikey either.
Quote from: ramen on June 12, 2008, 03:48PM

This skin is 0806.igb in the update.
First, download the update and put 0806.igb in the actors folder. You don't need to rename this file because Iceman uses 08XX in both XML2 and MUA and there is no 0806 in XML2.
Second, you need to modify the herostat by adding a skin slot like so:
stats {
ailevel = 1 ;
autospend = support_heavy ;
body = 20 ;
characteranims = 08_iceman ;
charactername = Iceman ;
level = 1 ;
mind = 12 ;
name = Iceman ;
playable = true ;
power1 = power1 ;
power2 = power3 ;
power3 = power8 ;
power4 = power9 ;
powerstyle = ps_iceman ;
scriptlevel = 3 ;
skin = 0801 ;
skin_70s = 20 ;
skin_aoa = 02 ;
skin_civilian = 24 ;
skin_winter = 06 ; sounddir = iceman_m ;
speed = 16 ;
strength = 20 ;
team = hero ;
textureicon = 6 ;
...
}
After that, save the XML and compile. Put it in the data folders.
Third, you need to build new packages for this skin.
- Decompile iceman_0802.PKGB and iceman_0802_nc.PKGB from ..\Packages\generated\characters
- Open the two XML files created, replace all "0802" with "0806".
- After that, save the files and compile them to iceman_0806.PKGB and iceman_0806_nc.PKGB
- Put these two PKGB files back in ..\Packages\generated\characters
Fourth, you need a 3D HUD for this skin. Let's use lab tech male's.
- copy 10201.IGB from ..\UI\hud\characters to desktop
- rename it to 0806.igb and put it back to ..\UI\hud\characters
Finally, start a new game and let me know whether it works or not.
You could always just replace one of the skins already in it if you don't want to go through all the adding stuff *shrug*
Hey, I got an idea: What about a "Form Change" boost that requires no energy? You hit it once, you change into the ice form, hit it again, you're in human form.
Like with Magma right?
Dunno, I don't use Magma. But I assume so.
Well she has all those skins - but if you use her 'magma form' she shifts into her red and rocky magma skin so maybe it could work like that?

You mean like how BliZZ did it with Emma Frost's Diamond form? (pressing the GUARD button twice or something like that)
Personally, I think the 'form change' should have a boost like Magmas... more defense/less speed sorta thing maybe
Yeah, I was thinking of adding the spiky armor to the boost for this update, but it doesn't fit well with MUA skins. :(
Mod still rocks anyway

I tought that for more characters like colossus, hulk and some others but I thought it was impossible but modders here are always doing miracles
yeap it work btw I also try to put in the tas cyclops skin blaw made it work but then my game crash was it because of the skin?

It crashes the game because BLaw wasn't using a PS2 model.
Just did this one for the Original costume:

Still need to think about what to do for Spiky...
Nice work as always dude.
As far as Spiky -- perhaps his X-Factor outfit? Or are you looking for something AoA-ish?
Yeah, I want Spiky's human-form to be more AOA-ish. I still haven't found any pics or comic scans of Iceman in his human-form in AOA. I might just do the yellow and blue X-Factor costume or these ones...

Hey, this might be an idea. I seem to recall an early issue of the AoA saga (it might even have been a prequel issue that came out later) where Magneto was putting the X-Men through training and they were all wearing similar red and gold uniforms. I don't believe Iceman was wearing one of those, but perhaps that could be some inspiration for the human side of his spiky costume. I'll see if I can wrangle up some images.
Here's the AoA "training" uniforms, as shown in X-Men Chronicles 1-2, in case you hadn't found them.

i am going to reconsider adding Iceman to my rost
I already have. :)
And is well worth what with all the effects.
OK, this is the last time I post on this topic, I promise, but this appears to be some Iceman trivia. I think this is the only panel Bobby appears de-iced in the Earth -295 universe. From, again, X-Men Chronicles #1, I believe.
(http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/8255/icemanaoaxe6.jpg)
The black is actually red like the other team members uniforms, but the panel is small and thus colored that way.

Is there a possibility of getting a skin like this:

Yep, I am planning to do something similar to that. It's just gonna be a reskin of this:
(http://www.marvelmods.com/blizz/Skins/0802.jpg)
I'll keep an eye out for it then. Iceman is one of my favourite X-Men ever I always have him on my team.
Just a random question, does the XML2 version of Iceman have any powers that aren't in the MUA version? If there are any, I think it'd be cool (excuse the pun) to update Iceman, and possibly the other MUA X-Men, with powers from XML2.

Hey, me too!!!
Ice Pillar was in XML2 but not in MUA. Other powers are fairly similar. I can add that power in the next update. I think Gambit should get one more power, either Full House or Ace of Spades, but that's BliZZ mod. So, he can add that if he wants.
Is it possible to add a tripping feature to Frigid Aura? Something like this to the description "Iceman's aura also causes the ground to ice over, causing enemies to slip", sure it'd make it a bit broken but Iceman is supposed to be powerful!
I assume tripping is possible to do through powers but then again, I'm usually wrong. :P
Yes, I think it's possible! Thanks for the idea! :) I will try to do this and see if it works.
I think I can also set a tripping chance so that the aura doesn't always trip all the tripable enemies in the vicinity.
Anything to make Iceman more awesome than he already is! :)
Great mod.
I was taking a look at the last posts, that skin (http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/6/69/Iceman_Vol_2_2_Textless.jpg) would be awesome.
Can I ask something? =\
I like it more to see the ice slide the way it is. But I also like the ice-shield and the skins.
Is there anyway I can install only the extra skins?
Ok, I just checked. Here are all of Iceman's power from XML2:
Freeze Beam - Sends out a beam, freezing enemies for a time. Can build bridges
- Already in MUA
Ice Shards - Throws shards of ice at enemies, inflicting COLD DMG
- Already in MUA
Ice Slide - Slides on an ice sled, damaging and slowing hit enemies
- Already in MUA
Ice Gloves - Gives self and allies ice gloves for a time adding COLD DMG to melee attacks and increasing ATK
- Already in MUA
Cold Crush - Ice projectile. Freezes target, slows in radius. Can build bridges
- Similar to MUA's Polar Explosion
Ice Armor - Armor takes damage instead of Iceman. Also damages and slows melee attackers
- Similar to MUA's Frigid Aura except for the part where it take damage for Iceman
COLD SNAP - Xtreme cold attack damaging everything in sight. Nearby enemies are frozen, more distant enemies are slowed
- Similar to my version of Deep Freeze in this upgrade
Slow Beam - Sends out a beam, slowing enemies. Can build bridges
- Not in MUA, but you don't need this when you have Freeze Beam and Ice Shard.
Arctic Burst - Radial blast of cold which damages and slows enemies
- Not in MUA, but it's just a sucky radial form of Slow Beam
So, it boils down to these two:
Ice Pillar - Blast ice pillars from the ground, damaging enemies and popping them up
- Not in MUA
ICE SIDEKICK - Spawn a minion to fight alongside party for a time
- Not in MUA
The Iceman in MUA can hold one more power. Which one do you guys like?
ice pillar!! :nod:

Yes, you can.
Make sure that this file from the Upgrade is NOT installed on your computer:
..\data\powerstyles\ps_iceman.engbDon't delete the original ps_iceman.engb from your computer though.
Doing this will only add the 2 extra skins. All the other updates (tripping ice beam, ice-slide tracks, ice-shield for blocking, Xtreme can damage boss) will not show up. I think that should do the trick. :)
Ice Pillar - PLEASE don't give us that dumb sidekick power :P

I thought he only had 7 powers and an xtreme. I know the characters can hold up to 9 powers and an xtreme (tried it with one of the characters).

Yes, Iceman has 7 powers and 1 Xtreme. The problem is MUA keyboard players only have keys for 8 powers and 1 Xtreme and they don't have gamepad's "use power" key. XML2 has that key, but the developers took it out of MUA!!!!

I see. I'm not trying to be a troublemaker or anything, but I have given one of my characters 9 powers, with one xtreme (okay, I just meddled with an existing character) but he has 9 and an xtreme. I'll post some pictures of it this weekend (my week is busy :( ).

Yeah, I know what you mean. Since I play MUA with keyboard most of the time, I can't make a mod that ignores the keyboard players... haha
Take your time. Thanks in advance. :)
Personally I don't see why a character needs more then eight powers... I mean, pretty soon they just become edited versions of the same powers *shrug*
I still say Cold Crush though ;) flip up AND slow :D
Ice Pillar would be cool, as would be the the Frigid Aura that causes slipping.
Could you add an icy effect to his 3rd light attack? It's the one that makes him slide forward. As in for the sliding part not damage.

I use a keyboard too. I can't afford to use anything else lol. Here are some screenshots. To explain, having beaten the game, I use the game to tinker with the powers and such just for fun, so alot of things will seem out of place (like Hud icons and skins). Also, I tinkered with mods, once I installed them so see what I could do with them.
At the bottom of the screen, he has 9 powers and a slot for an xtreme. The menu screen shows these as well, but I was short on time (I got distracted and started uploading pics from other things, like having th characters fight each other and other stuff.
This is Luke Cage, who I changed to into Grey Gargoyle.

Grey Garyole turns on the team and takes them out (from some time ago, when I tested this out on Captain Marvel (Luke Cage was not loaded up at the time so Cap Marvel had to serve as a specimen for my experiments). I'm not sure if this is a big deal or not, since I saw someone talking about this on a thread. This is as far as I got with this.
Here, Grey Gargoyle turns on the team, using a modified version of Dr. Strange's team switch. Human Torch, Multiple Man, and Mr. Fantastic (with a Morph skin lol) are the victims. Human Torch and Mr. Fantastic put up a serious fight (I tried not to turn them into stone at first).
The pairing of Mr. Fantastic and Human Torch was ridiculous. I couldn't get a hit in at one point.

Human Torch brings the fight to Gargoyle.

A second round was fought: Same result.

I'm still working out damage (they couldn't damage me (they could knock me about and such) but I could harm them). I think I know of a way they could deal damage to me, but I would have to get to that later on, since I'm busier these days than before.

I noticed that I could do this with Mulitple man's copies, which is nothing special. However, I know that team switch can be done so that everyone on your team switches, but can still attack bad guys. I think this works on them and so they will follow you, but that is something I have not given a try yet (I replaced that power in Dr. Strang e with something else and gave team switch to another character not currently loaded. I was planning on looking it over later).

It depends on the character, really. I can see how Wolvie can have a limited number, but Iceman, or Human Torch, or X-man can have a few extra. For shapeshifters, yes, some of the powers may be multiple copies of the same one, but this adds more variety to them (as well as more skins to change into---but I'm getting ahead of myself lol).
In any case, Ice pillar sounds cool, or a radial freeze that, is caused by Iceman punching the ground once. It would have less damage than a regular freeze but it would be useful in crowded situations.
Thanks for the pics!!!
So, how do you assign a key for power 9?
ps. I see so many alpha channels of the textures in these screenshots!!! haha.

LOL Yeah, alot of the stuff is unrefined.
As for adding a 9th power, all you have to do is change the icon value to the what the Xtreme's icon value is, and name the added power whatever the icon value power is, usually power9. Then with the xtreme, increase the icon value by one, and do the same with the power value. In other words:
Added power:
For iceman, icon = 8 ;
name = power 9 ;
And for the xtreme:
icon = 9 ;
name = power10 ;
This is done in the powerstyle. You will do the same thing in the talent file as well. a fun fact with the powers: They can go past 10 (one of my characters has a power named power11 by accident without problem), so I think even more can be added. I bet the limit is 26 or 27 powers. Once I figure out the limit on powers, I'll be sure to post something. Hope this helps.

The ordering can change. The icons number for character-specific icons can be anything from 0-11 as long as they match the ones in the talents file. The shared talent icons can be more than 11 though.
My question was about assigning the key/button on the keyboard for the 9th power. You only get 8 powers in the Controller Settings for the Keyboard, right?
No, when you do that, it automatically assigns the power to the key 9 and pushes the xtreme to key 0.

So we can add 1 more power to each character awesome :D
No problem. Glad to help. ;)
Great mod,thanks. but i have a related question,since you added a ice block to iceman blocking move,how did you do that ? cos i want to do the same with webbing for spider-man,cos its clear from his animation that he is spinning a web dome.
