During the last months I have been working on converting and editing several models, most of them on request from various persons.
All models and textures are based on the work of Raven Software, but have been edited to various degrees. All models have been animated and made high-poly. The 4-bit PSP textures have been edited, smoothed and upscaled to a resolution of 512X512 pixels.
Though most of the models will be included in the final version of Official Characters, there is still a lot of time until the pack is released and there is no reason to keep these hidden.
Version 2.0 Changelog:
- Black Widow, Ronin, Captain Marvel and Swordsman now use high definition Wii textures.
- updated the texture on Cable's weapons
- updated Black Widow's powerset
For those interested to try them out, I have fixed the models of PSP and Wii exclusives for use with the current version of Official Characters.
In case of Black Widow, be sure to use the provided powerset and herostat entry!This package contains the following models:
1. Black Widow:
- MUA NPC
- Ultimate
- Yelena Belova
- Natasha Romanoff
- Classic
2. Ronin:
- Ronin
- Ronin Unmasked
- Echo
- Street Gear
- Mannequin
3. Captain Marvel:
- Genis-Vell
- Genis
- Captain Mar-Vell
- Ultimate
- Mannequin
4. Swordsman
5. Classic Beast
6. Cable
7. Jean Grey
All models have been optimized for viewing in high resolution and with highest possible ingame video settings.
Modders and texture artists are encouraged to use the models in any way as long as credit is given.See info.txt for details.Some of the models ingame:

Actually it's PSP XML2 Cable's texture mapped on the Genis model with BW's boltons. Blizz requested him some time ago.
Heh, pretty slick.
Sorry to double post, but I noticed two bugs:
-Cable's weapons have no textures (they're all black)
-The Jean skin is actually Ultimate Nighcrawler
where do i put the files from the folders at
Awesome work , cant wait to also see these in the New official characters mod.
Sweeeeeeeeet...

They
do have a texture (128x32), it's just mostly black :P

Jean works just fine. You must have made a mistake somewhere.
Probably. I have all my PKGBs and everything else all mixed and matched from prepping mods for the site, so it's very possible
Awesome! Thanks :) !!!!
:emmafrost:
well at least were do the ronin files go
17401.igb through 17404.igb go in Actors. 17401_mannequin.igb needs to be placed in the ui/models/mannequin folder and renamed to 17401.igb.
the cable mod is cool you did a awsome job on it :lickout: :laugh: :naughty: :rockon: :laugh: :laola: :jumping: :runaway:ROCK ON!
Niiiiice!
So nice that it made me experiment...
(http://photoshack.com/albums/userpics/20543/Marvel0001.png)
The gun-sword boltons are naturally messed up, but for some strange reason, it fits as a pseudo archer set, and hey, you finally have Hawkeye as Ronin!!!!!!
And the Captain Marvel models are sweet as sugar!!!
Keep up the great work, DM!!!
Say Dark_Mark, mind if I taking my skinning hands on some of those? It would be cool (imo) if we had skins which use the real character models. (But there ain't nothing wrong with any of we have now) If you catch my drift :P
One of the reasons I decided to release those early was so that modders may have a look at them. In fact I personally think that although I made a pretty good work with converting the ugly 16-color PSP textures, they could use a skilled skinner have a go at them.
In other words, be my guest :)
Thanks. Well, I was kind of hoping for such an answer, and I'm working on this kind of thing:
(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3600/marvel0103.th.jpg) (http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=marvel0103.jpg)
Btw, the textures aren't that bad at all.
Sweet! Cable looks awesome aside from the shoulder pad bolton being huge (not your fault).
Well I must admit, the shoulder pads come in handy with the Cable mesh.. Because between the shoulder and the neck is a spot which hardly can be editted, otherwise CANT be editted. That section uses a piece of texture that his back uses, so once you paint that section on the back, it also appears between the neck and shoulders. Luckily, the big shoulder pads covers that section.

This is exactly what the model needed (and what I didn't have time nor motivation to make :P ).
wooow, ronin and captain marvel are absolutely perfect!!! congrats dark_mark!!!!
I didn't get the swordsman skin...as far as I know there isn't a swordsman mod.....is there?
He was Hawkeye's simulator villain on the PSP.
And Swordsman is the PSP exclusive villain.
Quote from: Midnight Curse on March 04, 2009, 06:55AM

No? You don't say?
I think the very fact that it's Hawkeye's simulator villain implies that it's PSP exclusive. Stop making redundant comments.
Great news everyone! I managed to rip Wii textures for Black Widow, Ronin and Captain Marvel! :D
Expect an updated pack in the not too distant future :)

how i can do the cable skin wiil work?
Just change the name of the cable skin in Dark_Marks pack to the name of the skin you want to replace.
you can do sikns to iron fist and punisher? but like the dark skin?
Do you mean are there skins of iron fist and punisher or can you use them on iron fist and punisher ?
The answer is yes for both of them.
Quote from: Venom on April 04, 2009, 04:00AM
Do you mean are there skins of iron fist and punisher
but skin like this pack Dark_Mark
Oh these skins are ripped from the actual game of Marvel ultimate alliance which means they have a better quality / higher definition.
There are no iron fist or punisher skins like the skins in Dark_Marks pack but there are some user created ones in the Punisher and Iron Fist mods found in the Character mod catalog : http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=399.0
http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=1296.0 i instell the skin from here like i instell the cable skin?
Yes but if you want to add those skins as a 5th or 6th skin read the instructions in the first post.
do you happen to have in development extra skins for namor :namor: loved your captain marvel and ronin skins thank you for that
Quote from: Chikesnit on April 04, 2009, 05:50PM

Blaw has made some great Namor skins, try his thread.....
Ok, I have wracked my brain on this and cannot for the life of me figure it out. Someone please help! Here is my situation:
I installed the Cable & Beast skins with no problem by overwriting existing skins. They look great btw.
I next attempted to install the Ronin, Captain Marvel, and Black Widow skins. I copied the skins in the actors folder and renamed the mannequins and stored them in the proper folder. I found it odd that it didn't warn me about overwriting but thought nothing of it. I used heroselect, started a new game, and found that the skins for those three characters remained unchanged. After several hours of recopying without success, I have deleted all skins for those characters in the actors folder. When I started a new game the old skins still appear even though the game should have crashed! Even though I deleted them from the folder. I have searched my entire MUA folder for .igb files with those numbers and found none. This leads me to 2 conclusions:
1. My computer is haunted. Can anyone recommend an exorcist?
2. The game is pulling skins for those characters from some other file somewhere within my game folder and it automatically overrides anything in the actors folder and my mannequins folder, and I have absolutely no idea how to fix this.
I installed these characters from the Official Characters pack by just extracting into my MUA folder so I am not sure how this could have happened but I am at a loss as to what to do next. Please help!
Try extracting to another folder, and then do the long way of copy and replace.
It is also possible that the skins are sstored in a new folder, check your directories for any new folders.
I've tried just about every method of copying I can think of and there are no extra folders that I can see. The real problem is where is the game getting the skins from? If there is nothing in the actors folder it shouldn't be able to display them but it still can. This is what baffles me.
UPDATE - Ok, so I have experimented a bit more. I ended up just copying the new skins to slots 05-08 and swapping them out using the herostat. Had to decompile/recompile a ton of files to get the huds working but now they work. Still have no idea where those original skins are coming from. I'm spent.
Version 2.0 is up! :D
Changelog:
- Black Widow, Ronin, Captain Marvel and Swordsman now use high definition Wii textures.
- updated the texture on Cable's weapons
- updated Black Widow's powerset

Nothing major. It was based on the one from Official Characters (which originally used boltons instead of skin segments) and I wasn't 100% sure the changes I made were correct. Since I now have her original Wii powerset for comparison, I removed some redundant parts and changed a few values in order to make it more "correct". Haven't noticed any differences in actual gameplay though :P
oh ok sounds great, im gonna go try it in a bit
edit: tried them out, they look great
Wow, beautiful...
Hey Hey Thank you for this fine contribution. I love black window stuff.
I do have couple of noob questions.
Q1- You have only included the .igb files for beast and Jean Grey in their folders.
Does that mean I need to get the other actual full mod files from the official characters mod and add them to my herostat/heroselect file ?
Q2-Im starting a new ganme but i woudl like to be able to unlock all of the Black widows costumes, how to I do that?
I put your new files in their respective folders but the menu still says locked.
any advice would be appreciated.
excelsior
All costumes is Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Enter

That is correct, though I think you meant the Character Mod Catalog (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=399.0).
In case of Jean you can also replace her NPC model by copying the .igb to your actors folder.
Thanks RajunCajun.
i'll see if it works ok with just a keyboard.
I'd like to replace my regular dazzler mod with the "full dazzler mod" the one that adds the dazzler simulators missons, the info on the mod says it replaces elektra, but I dont want to replace Elektra.
Should I cut out elektra from my Herostat file and then install the full dazzler mod and then take out say spider woman and then install teh full dazzler mod?
merci
http://[b]thanks%20[/b] for clarifying.
and congrats on the all your work!

The mod automatically replaces Elektra. what you could do is to install the mod, THEN edit herostat, replacing spider-Woman with Elektra.
how do you get beast to work
cuz i put the beast file in the actors folder and its still his regular costume
Don't double post.
i didnt know that was double posting
...
You're an idiot if you don't know that posting twice in a row isn't double posting. Sorry, but it's true.
the first time i was asking for help the second post i was explaining what i did so people would know how to help me
Doesn't matter, it's double post.
There's a button called
MODIFY at the top of your post. Use it when you have already posted and want to add something more. You can make your post looks like this:

:emmafrost:
ok sorry now will u tell me what to do
For the Beast skin? probably you need to change the name of the skin.
For example if the skin that you downloaded is 23342.igb (this is just an example), rename that skin using the name of an existing one from the Beast mod. Then put the new skin in the correct folder.
If you already change this and nothing happens, I don't know what's your problem then...
thank you

I assume that Ronin, Black Widow and Captain Marvel have been included in the Official Characters Mod. But are the other four still available -- especially Swordsman?
NEW LINK PLZ NOT WORKING! WANNA DL THIS BAD A$$ SKIN PACKAGE!
1st: i'll let any moderators deal with your writing style
2nd: they are all included in the latest official characters pack, so enjoy.
Hey, sorry didnt know i was being critqued on my writing??!? I just wanted the skins for marvel and ronin not the characters..is that possible?!?!
Please don't post in all capitals.
The Official Characters Pack is needed if you're going to use any individual mods. If you just want the skins then you just don't use the characters. Either way you're going to have to download the Official Characters Pack eventually.
well i've downloaded the the off char pack a long time ago..is there any way to make a new link for those skins is what im trying to get at? Because cap'n marvel and ronin skins look horrid from the off char pack..

first of all your rude, someone worked hard on those skins. second the skins u want are in the official character pack and have been for a while, theres been multiple updates. Maybe next time look around the forum before you start posting.
srry no doubt didnt mean to be rude to the skin designer or anyone else. It's hard to find what you want in all these threads when your new :s
Usually everything important is in a sticky thread so you shouldn't need to look. Just be careful how you word things around here in the future. We're generally a friendly bunch of people.

Does anyone have a working link for the Beast skin seen here? LMK, thanks.
Just a heads up guys, NONE of the links for any of these are working, even the one in DeeDoo's thread is down.
First post updated with working links.

Can someone reupload these things please?

Jean, Beast, Cable.
Exactly :D
For some reason, I have never downloaded this pack... T_T
Sorry people.
EDIT:
I know Dark_Mark's recipe for Beast and Cable. We can recreate the awesomeness if needed.
That model of Cable was awesome. Would be cool, to have it again
I've searched my computer and evidently don't have them either.
Ya. He reskinned and remapped Cpt marvel. Wolverine head on beast.

Fredy,
If no one has answered you already, you would follow the same instructions as the Official Characters 1.2 RELEASED (13.09.2009) (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,3380.0.html) thread. Make sure to backup your files before you do this though!
