Marvel Mods

This pack contains every character that appeared in any version of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Namely, these are:

- Xbox 360 Gold Edition Characters: :cyclops: Cyclops, :hawkeye: Hawkeye, :hulk_icon: Hulk, :nightcrawler: Nightcrawler, :doom: Dr. Doom, :magneto: Magneto, :stooth: Sabretooth and :venom: Venom;
- PSP exclusives: :blackwidow: Black Widow, :genis: Captain Marvel and :ronin: Ronin (as Hawkeye is included in his Xbox 360 incarnation);

The pack also includes:
- PSP exclusive Comic Book missions for Hawkeye and Captain Marvel
- PC Exclusive models and skins for Silver Surfer :silvers: (Norrin Radd, The Keeper and Silver Savage)
- PC exclusive Comic Book missions for Hulk, Silver Surfer and Moon Knight
- Unique character conversations from the XBox 360
- An alternative storyline for Mephisto's Realm
- New character loadscreens
- Heroselect, a program that will allow you to swap out characters (as there is a hardcoded maximum limit of 27 characters in-game).
Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Hulk and Moon Knight come pre-installed. Use Heroselect to swap them out if you wish.


SPECIAL NOTE: Please note that this pack is only compatible with the original 2006 port of MUA. It will not work on the "remastered" 2016 Steam version. Unsure which version you got? Check the game folder -- if you see .bin files and the exe file date is 2016, then you've got the "remastered" version that is useless here. Search ebay or Amazon to find and purchase the 2006 original port.

Installation Instructions:
0. To unpack the mod, get the excellent and free 7-Zip (www.7-zip.org)
1. Back up your files - the mod overwrites many important game files, including herostat. It will also reset your heroselect to include only the officials, so you will have to manually add other characters to heroselect.
2. Place OfficialChars_1.3.7z in ..\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance
3a. If you are using a localized version of MUA (e.g. Italian), do the following:
- backup all files in your original "\scripts\act2\murder\murder2\" directory
- backup your original "\packages\generated\maps\act2\murder\murder2.pkgb" file
3b. If you are using the English version of the game, right click on OfficialChars_1.3.7z and click "Extract Here".
4. If it asks you to "confirm file replace", click "Yes to all", assuming that you have backed up your files already. If you haven't backed up your files, then click "No to all" and back up your files now.
5. Wait for it to unpack.
6a. If you are using a localized version of MUA (e.g. Italian), restore the files you backed up during step 3a.
6b. The mod is now ready. Some changes might not work correctly until you start a new game.
7. The default herostat contains Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Hulk and Moon Knight. You can swap in other characters with Heroselect or use NRCompiler to manually decompile the herostat.engb file, open it in a text editor, change your desired characters and recompile the text file back into herostat.engb. You can find NRCompiler along with the herostat entries of other "Official" characters in herostat.CFG in the "heroselect" folder.

great job, all the fixes sound great

the wii models look amazing! cant wait! nice work everyone!

cool! i was not expecting this. downloading right nao

I have a problem with heroselect. When I have selected which characters I want and press Accept Team, this opens up: http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/1253/35589415.png and then when I start the game the default characters are still there.

Great job! It's awesome!

Great job.
Thank you so much, downloading right now :)

:emmafrost:

does heroselsect support it? i know nova had problems, but it may be isolated.

Are there any changes in the herostats file to the beta version? Anyone compared them yet.

Thanks to everyone involved in this project , really appreciate it :D

Quote from: Sidewinder on June 02, 2009, 12:06AM

I know that Black Widow's has probably changed. Before she was using boltons and now she's using skin segments. I think Hawkeye is like this too.

Hey Dark_Mark

A doubt about this release: Your Hulk, Venom, Magneto mods are included in, or we still install them separately, after the OC is installed?

There included.

Hey Dark_Mark

Not all skins have been included, so if you want Professor Hulk, AoA/XML2 Magneto or WoS Venom, you still need to download the separate mods.

So basically the process is pretty much similar to the one with OC Beta4, then.

Other than that, any other differences between the individual mods and the ones from the pack? Game play wise, I mean.

Quote from: xlehnsherr on June 02, 2009, 01:50AM

Not really. All the powers, scripts, animations and sounds are in. Actually, right now the characters in the pack have MORE sounds than the ones in individual mods. I will be updating my mods later today to make them compatible with the pack.

Oh, about that, i don't know if there's anything else, but basically the skins sequence. I had the "Ultimate" from the stand-alone mod, but the OC replaced it with the "Xorn" skin. Haven't played with yet, but if I see any other "bugs" I'll report here!

TKS!

Bravo! For making the modding experience even better!


Just a question, wasn't the Silver Savage skin supposed to be in this pack?

Even though, its great to see such great updates(not to mention relief for my ears as Hawkeye gets hurt without any horrible noise!).

It was, but it's far from done. It needs a makeover, and I do not have the time for it yet, plus I got more on my list to finish.

Many, many, MANY thanks!!!!

Hooray for everyone in the credits!

Ok, just found a complaint....the Cyclops skins seem to have black patches on them...the previous mod didnt have this.....

It's a fault in the model. Have you made sure your drivers are all up to date?

Uh oh -- someone didn't use PS2 skins when reskinning/used DXT3 textures in a new model :P

if you have the old version of the pack, just take those cyclops skins and use them instead, thats what i did.

Yeah, I'm gonna do that.....but I suppose the black patches don't show up if you use Advanced Lighting that is provided by the high def graphics cards, right?

Really need to upgrade my comp....

Quote from: CosmoChakra on June 04, 2009, 12:49PM

They work fine under normal lighting for me.

It's a graphics card thing.  ATI cards are usually the ones with the problems.  The skins must be DXT1 or PS2 format in order to not have these problems.  XML2 PC or XML2 Xbox skins will create black dots.

OK then. If someone can give me the offsets for Cyclops's PS2 models, I'll reskin those instead :P

But that's weird! I'm using ATI HD3470, but it doesn't show that black patches thing! It works alright here!

It doesn't show for me either... But I am using a GeForce 8800 GTX. That's why I suggested making sure the drivers are up to date.

I tested on GeForce 8 and 9 series, drivers version 185.68 and the skins work fine under any conditions.

Newer ATI cards have different chipsets.

Sabertooth has no callout and his name isn't shouted when you select him. Does this pack include the sounds for him or do I have to download that ?

Make sure you installed the pack correctly. A clean install is recommended (this also applies to heroselect!).

use the new herostats provided in the pack, his name changed for Sabretooth_hero to just Sabretooth (or the other way around), so like Dark_Mark said reinstall everything and change your old herostats with the new entries (i had to do that with Black Widow who also changed names).

Oh I did all the installing properly - totally blank and all that. But I'll try the sound change and see how that works

EDIT: Changing the name from Sabretooth to Sabretooth hero worked perfectly :) thanks guys

yo tengo una duda.
Si estan los modelos oficiales de Wii para el captain marvel, black widow, hawkeye, etc... por que no hay para hulk este tipo de skins.

PD: excelente trabajo, quedo genial el  Official Characters

por que no tenemos los modelos oficiales de Hulk, Dark_Mark pudo accer los otros porque teniamos los modelos oficiales.

Hulk only exist in Xbox 360 gold edition, not in the wii version that's the reason why it was not included.

hey guys. after installing the stuff from this pack, my game was f*cked up. when i get to murderworld, Sen.Kelly won't talk to me, and when i enter the tent, everything freezes, except for the character i'm controlling, who can only attack. i can get to kill Jean, the animation of her being sucked into the videogame takes place, but then she's still there standing and alive, perpetrating the neverending circle of stillness.   .....help?


could it be the scripts, or the conversations maybe?

Is this a brand new install?  If you're installing over the last version you'll probably have problems.  What custom/OC mod characters do you have installed?

this was a problem with the old pack. the new one is working fine in murderworld. just install the latest version.

So, provided I back up my herostat and all, I should be able to just install this despite having other character mods and the beta v4, right?

Maybe -- some characters had bigger changes than others.  We recommend a clean install of MUA, but you're welcome to try it out.

I had to laugh at myself this morning when I found that the new Official Characters mod had been posted EIGHT days ago!  I've been really busy lately and only been checking "new replies to my posts."  Since this was a new post rather than an updated one, I missed it.  But, I'm going to download it now!  ;)

I do have a question about this:

Quote from: Teancum on June 09, 2009, 03:02AM
We recommend a clean install of MUA, but you're welcome to try it out.

So you're saying that the entire game followed by the Official Character mod, X-Men Legends 2 mod, and any individual mods should be reinstalled?

Thanks to ALL the fantastic modders who contributed to this new release of the Official Characters mod!!!

Close -- we recommend:

• Uninstall MUA
  
• Go to the folder were MUA was installed, delete or move any files left (I recommend deleting)
  
• Install MUA
  
• Install the Official Characters mod
  
• Install any other character mods you want

aaaaaaaaand i just did that. i'll reach murderworld and see if the problem persists

I'm getting everything reloaded here, but I was looking over some of the files while doing so and had three questions (maybe they are minor, but I thought it could be important).  First, there is a file in the "actors" folder named 22001.igb.  Is this necessary?

Also, I noticed what appeared to be files for Deadpool in the "actors" folder.  Was he changed at all?  Lastly, I didn't see mannequins for Moon Knight or Colossus.... 

Please know that I am not criticizing.  I am still learning alot here about modding and was just basing my comments on file names/numbers.

Thanks again for the mod.

In case anyone care, I went ahead and installed this version in my game on top of the beta v4 and all the character mods with no issues so far.  If any come up, I'll let y'all know.

i found the problem.

first i reinstalled mua completely, then i reached murderworld with no mods installed and it worked fine.
then, i installed the pack folder by folder, and it stopped working when i installed the conversations folder.

but i remember you that my game is in italian and reads .itab files instead of .engb.

now, generally, nothing changes between the two but the extension. this time tough, there might be some reference to .engb files inside the conversation files. can anyone shed some light on this? maybe the manifacturer of the special conversations?

thanks in advance.

and no, i apparently can't install the game in english so that it reads .engb files.
i'll have to edit the convos. and another thing: magneto's and sabretooth's announcers don't work for me. strange.

I think the problem may be of another nature. Every level in MUA has a certain amount of memory allocated for storage of different data: models, sounds, scripts etc. The exact amount of memory per level is hardcoded and often is only a few kilobytes more than the summarized size of the level's assets.
Basically, what we are doing with new conversations is fitting additional scripts and packages in the available memory space. This can be a hideous task, as we don't know how much data we can fit in a given level (though most often this is less than two kilobyes!). Thus, the conversations and scripts provided in the pack are a result of weeks of trial, error and careful testing. I can assure you that they work well in the English version of the game (as it is the only one I can test). However, because we are already operating in a very tight space, should a localized version of MUA have bigger engb's (due to text translation, character encoding, etc.), it would certainly lead to various memory issues.

As it stands, the pack is developed and supported for the English version of the game. Users of localized versions should use it at their own risk.

Update your herostat with the one in the pack.

sorry to be annoying, but still nothing for them.

Quote from: Lord Magneto on June 10, 2009, 02:38PM

You could try the following:
1. Extract the conversations folder from the OC pack
2. Now browse through all the subfolders and rename .engb files to .itab (e.g. 2_murder2_070m.engb becomes 2_murder2_070m.itab)
3. Now copy the whole folder to your MUA directory
4. Start up MUA and see if the conversations work (if so, they will have English subtitles)

I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I use Dr.Doom's grabsmash, there's  an extremely annoying sound that just wont stop until I reach another level. Anything wrong I did, or is it really a bug in the pack?

Thanks.

already done it. nothin'

the other special conversations work tough.

I have just checked, and as I said earlier, the .itab files for Murderworld are almost a kilobyte larger than their corresponding .engb's.
This means no special Murderworld conversations for Italian MUA users.

Now, to get the game fully functional again, you need to restore the following files/directories from your original installation:

\scripts\act2\murder\murder2\
\packages\generated\maps\act2\murder\murder2.pkgb

Or, alternatively, reinstall your game and OMIT the above when installing the OC pack.

ok then, i'll just skip the murderworld special convos, who cares. ^^

Quote from: Lord Magneto on June 14, 2009, 06:55AM

Or you could use the original convo files, without anything installed in it!

Link for Murderworld unaltered files:
http://www.box.net/shared/5nmt6jn3e9

yes that was what i meant, skipping the special murderworld convos. i do have the originals, since i reinstalled the game. :)

changing subject, what about the sounds? sabretooth's and magneto's announcers aren't working for me. is there some kind of virtual jinx on me? :P



p.s. doom's fx sounds are kinda weird. but maybe that's just how they are.

So, LM, you've encountered the problem I mentioned...?

EDIT: Magneto's announcer works fine for me, but not Sabertooth's. Go figure.

yes sometimes that thing with doom's grabsmash sound happens to me, but not always. also it's not really a nice sound. if i'm not mistaken, it's the same sound used for the first power's charge, and it sounds a bit weird. like krzawa-krzawa-krzawa-krzawa-krzawa-krzawa-krzawa you know what i mean, it should be smoother.

I've finnished the game 4 or 5 times since I've installed the updated pack and no bugs or anything. The only thing I can say is the already reported black dots on Cyclops's skins.

I actually don't mind the sound -- i just wish it didn't last forever! lol

I hope there's an easy fix for this. Dr. Doom has been too much fun to play with, now that he has sounds.

Both the black dots and Doom's grab_smash have already been fixed. I've made "new" models with HD textures for Cyclops, and two new sounds for Doom.
Please report any other bugs you encounter.

As for the announcer problems, check your herostat. Both Magneto and Sabretooth should NOT have a "_hero" suffix to their names.

so, to fix the problems I should download it and install it again?

hey guys i noticed that doom's powerstyle contained some stuff that would make him teleport when he uses Doom Detonation (like the NPC). i don't know if this was disabled on purpose or not.
either way, i fixed it. here it is if anyone's interested.

You too, LM! I'll try the 'teleport thing'!

That's how it was in his original DLC powerstyle. The DLC files had some bugs in them and we have corrected the obvious ones (like Hulk's passives). However, I had no idea if the teleport was disabled intentionally or not, so I left it as it was. If anyone would like to test it (as I have no time for this), please report your results. If there are no issues, it could be enabled in the next version of the pack.

Dark_Mark, I got this message via Youtube:

Black Widow & Captain Marvel problem solved in OC 1.0
Black Widow: When choosing & playing w/ her. Her NPC hud is gone.
Captain Marvel: Jumping & landing into the floor in half body.

We better tell Dark_Mark about this

---

From the use of words and language, you can see it's PowerCosmic. (well he PMd his name anyway).

Wow that's weird looking... is that supposed to mean that Capatin Marvel doesn't have any 'woosh' sound when he jumps and starts to fly or that he flies through the floor or something?

Well, with Magneto I noticed that with his Classic skin his actual skin is underground, and the character is invisible above the skin

He was always unclear with what he was saying, but I think he never realized it.

He also came to me on YouTube citing problems that have been fixed or problems that no one else has come across. I just blocked him off my videos and profile.

Captain Marvel is one of my favorite party members. The only problem with him is that he doesn't make the 'woosh' sound when he jumps and starts to fly. However, as he's not the only marvel character who doesn't, this is hardly a busting factor :P

Magneto has also always been a part of my game and I can assure you that all his skins do what they should

anyone else agrees that this pack should be posted on the main site homepage?

I agree :D

Yeppers

I actually used to update the main page, but anyone that visits here hits the forums immediately, so I saw no reason to continue.  It's a lot easier than it used to be, but it's still a pain to do files on the main site.

I haven't read through the main page for weeks.

Release 1.1 is up!

Excellent, Thank you so much!

:emmafrost:

Thank you!

Wow!  This is a nice surprise.  I'm glad for Lord Magneto, too, in that the Italian version of MUA will work with the mod now.  I'm looking forward to the older menu callouts working again as well!  ;)

Thanks Dark_Mark.

Thanks A LOT!

screenshots for the 1.1 update?

First post.

Awesome thanks.

I was hoping that the file for the menu callouts would have been updated with the new release.  There used to be many more characters whose name would be called when selected, such as Vision, Quicksilver, She-Hulk, Angel, and many others.

Last month, I tried to take what I would call program lines from the older voice file that has all the additional characters and incorporate them into the 1.07 voice file, but I didn't have any success.  I didn't think it would be too complicated to do that, but it was for me.

If someone has a version of x_voice that has those callouts that they can upload, I will update the OCMod x_voice with it.

Great update, the only thing is the sounds. Like fox456 says there are a lot of callouts missing, but also I see that you add menu breaks for Emma Frost, Psylocke, Jubilee, Magma and Beast, well none of them are working, for example you select Jubilee or Emma alone, and when you are ready to go, she don't say anything, do you know why?
:emmafrost:

awwww i love you thanks for the fix :)

This must be a problem with your game. All of Emma's menu sounds work fine for me.
Perhaps a clean reinstall of all mods would help?

Maybe you are right, I'll try this weekend, Thank you :)

@Teancum & whiteking:

I've just uploaded the x-voice.zss file that I have used before the Official Characters Mod 1.07.  I'm not sure it has the menu breaks whiteking was referring to, but it does have alot of the individual character announcements as well as several more team bonus announcements.

Thanks Teancum for being willing to update this file for everyone.  Here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WKRHJFYX

Thank you I'll check that :)

:emmafrost:

Wow I totally overlooked this topic. Great model Dark_Mark! It saves me some meshes in my list and it looks 324823749823x better than what I could have produced! I'll try to repack it into a setup this week.

Been a while since I posted, I just want to give my hearty thanks!

Especially Blaw for that awesome Silver Savage skin!

Thanks for uploading! I have merged the contents of all available x_voices into a single file.
Get it HERE (http://rapidshare.de/files/47829674/x_voice.zss.html)

As the changes have nothing to do with Official Characters, this new x_voice will not find its way into the pack until the next revision (if there is one).

It ain't mine (accidently editted your post with this comment but removed it XD)

I installed this latest version, but since I did, Heroselect no longer works.  I did a clean install of MUA, and then installed only this, and it still doesn't work.  Any ideas?

Check the pathname in the cfg file. It might be different from your game's pathname.

No, the pathname is correct.  I can open Heroselect, select the characters and the locations, but when I hit "Accept Team", it will pause for a minute and then it'll open another window with NRcompiler, which will them move slowly and eventually say that it was compiled successfully.  I'll launch MUA, but the game will crash in that beginning portion where the camera pans across the helicarrier before reaching the characters.

It is in fact something wrong within your herostat.cfg file! I've had that problem before! You're gonna have to go through your herostat.cfg and see where the problem is!!!

Thanks Dark_Mark for this update of x_voice!  I use Angel alot in my game and he is not being announced with this latest version.  Could anyone update the x_voice to include Angel being announced by Professor Xavier like he was before?  Has anyone run into other characters not being announced like they were in the past?  [Incidentally, I don't want to speak out of turn, but opakarlo is completing the Crystal mod and this might be a good time to include her announcement in the x_voice file as well....  I'll leave that up to opakarlo!]

While on the topic of voices, the sound files, can they be edited somehow?

if i already have hero select can i update the official characters without deleting the characters i already entered

Just backup the files in the heroselect folder (mainly herostat.cfg), and then replace the entries of the characters in this mod for the new ones in herostat.cfg.

Updated the first post with the installer for the pack. It's above the first picture, where it says CLICK HERE. Instructions of the installer are under "Instructions" in the first post.

I am having a problem and am wondering if any can help me figure out what I have done wrong.  After I installed the new pack and ran heroselect, it would lock up after I clicked on "accept team."  I would shut the program down, start the game and I had all the regular characters plus Colossus, Moon Knight, Hawkeye and the Hulk.  Then I checked to see if there were problems with my herostat.cfg.  There were and I fixed them.  Then I used heroselect to choose the 27 I wanted, it ran fine and I launched the game from heroselect and it opened again with the original cast plus Colossus, Moon Knight, Hawkeye and the Hulk.

I am going to re-install the pack to make sure it is installed correctly, but are there any thoughts about why I am not able to change characters any longer?

Check the first line in herostat.cfg and see if it's the same as your main MUA directory. If you're using Vista, there might be problems with the decompiler.

This is the first line in my herostat.cfg:
c:\\Program Files\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data\\
and that is where I have the file saved in the MUA directory.

I do run Vista, but have never had a problem with the decompiler before.  Any other thoughts?

Just a thought: did you ran the program as Administrator.

congrats on a great job, guys.  The mod has run perfectly for me and it's a lot of fun.  The Hawkeye and Black Widow mesh/skin conversions are pure love. 

I do have a question about the Black Widow models though.  Are the guns and holsters a part of her model/mesh that can be hidden (like Elektra's sais and stars?) or are they always present regardless of alpha channels or herostat entries?

All of BW's weapons can be hidden (you can find their respective names in her powerstyle). As for her holsters, they are separate meshes with unique names but I am pretty sure I didn't give them Alchemy Object properties before exporting, which means that they cannot be removed via herostat.

Release 1.2 is up!

Changes:
- Added PSP exclusive Comic Book missions for Hawkeye and Captain Marvel (replacing Paibok and Super Skrull missions)

Thanks Dark_Mark

Thanks Dark_Mark and BliZZ.  I'm looking forward to trying it.  It's very good to release just as MUA2 is coming out (for us that don't have other platforms and can't play MUA2.  It will give us something new to play).  Thanks again.

That was exactly my intention :D
Luckily BliZZ returned at the right moment :)

Yeah he has good timing

Very cool, Dark_Mark.  I didn't know you guys had finished up so much behind the scenes.  Nice to finally see it all so close to coming together. :thumbsup2:  Short of somehow cracking the character limit I'd say we're 99% done!

Even though I don't contribute much anymore, I still have a "man it would be cool" wishlist:
*All 360 sounds (which I can do, I just haven't had time)
*Stage risers for the second row guys on the character select menu (like the 360)
*Character limit cracked (yeah right, but maybe someday)
*PSP version of Modern Black Widow (which has some differences from the NPC version)

Again, it's just my wishlist :D  Great job on the new updates guys!

Thanks a lot!

Havent been around much, bu terrific jjob once again!!! Especially Blizz!!!

Can this be installed right on top of 1.1? I hate to have to go through a full uninstall/reinstall cycle again...

J

can we just add 2 sim missions without taking out the existing and five exclusives for the next gen consoles

Every time I see your name on the forum for some reason I keep reading it as "chickenshit".  No offense, just some times I do a double take like wtf? then can't help but laugh at my overtired eyes seeing what they want to see.

lol, now everytime i see it i'll remember that :D

lol, sounds like and fonts are small here in the forum sometimes read at the same ways and sometimes when i'm having trouble installing some mods i do blurt out my name :P......anyway back to topic could install additional sim missions keeping the original sim missions?

Hey, I was wondering do I need to do herostat thingy for the official pack too? And is there guide somewhere for heroselect use?

Yes there is a guide, in the heroselect folder. It is called HeroSelect_Readme

The Official Pack has the 23 base characters, Moon Knight, Hulk, Hawkeye, and Captain Marvel installed for you. If you want different characters, yes you either have to edit your herostat or use heroselect to do it (heroselect is much easier)

Can I use stuff from the Official Characters mod? Like animations, models and other stuff?

Skeletons are ok to use without permission because we can't create them and so there's no one to ask permission from. Other things such as skins (namely original ones) or new meshes shouldn't be used without permission. Just check the credits at the bottom of the first post to see who made what. If nobody is put down as making something then you should be able to use it.

I checked the credits, but I want to make sure: For the Sabertooth stuff I have to ask for permission from Dark_Mark and Norrin Radd?

If you want to use Sabretooth's mannequin and Original skin, yes.

Okay then, I ask permission. If one of them say no, then I change it :D

Hey guys, any chance of individual downloads?
70mb's is rather heavy when you're on dialup...
Plus this way people could just get the character they want rather then all of them, I never was much for the grounded characters, if it can't fly, teleport or slide, I don't want it. ;)

You can pick your characters from that and I doubt anyone cares to create single downloads as you must download this for any other mod to work.

It wouldnt be a terrible idea to make individual downloads and i can totally relate with the dial up thing, its pretty hard and i never want to go back to it. But most modders really dont have time to take the time to sit down and separate these mods, and other modders may not like the idea of the characters being split up.

Dark Mark has Venom,Magneto and Hulk mods which are the same as the Official characters versions except for a couple of skins.
You can find these in the Character mod catalog : http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=399.0

Sweet, now all I need are Moon Knight, Dr.Doom and Captain Marvel, hopefully somebody will make individual dl's of those someday, thanks guys.

Why not just use heroselect or get their herostats to put them in. Otherwise you may never ever get to use them as very doubtfully people will create their individual mods.

Because then I'd have to download the whole pack, and as I've said, not something I can do.
Especially considering the connection tends to break at times which really sucks, waiting for 4 hours is durable, but waiting for 3 hours and 59 minutes and then your connection breaks and you have to start over again...well...it makes me want to kill things, and not in a good way.

Well, hope the best things Nox.

Thanks m8, no worries, I'll get them eventually.
btw. Moon Knight, Dr.Doom, Magneto, Venom, NightCrawler and Captain Marvel are the only ones that can fly/swing/teleport from that lot, right?

Moon Knight can't swing or anything.

He can't fly?Seriously, say's he can fly on ComicVine...

I quote from Marvel wikia: "Glider Cloak: Although Spector cannot fly, he can spread his cloak and slow his descent from great heights. To a slight extent he can steer his fall. Because it must be flexible, the cloak is not armored. du Champ created the cloak.". As far as I know, he can't fly in the game.

Well...damn.
Guess I only need Dr.Doom and Captain Marvel now, at least my list got shorter...yay...

Hooray! I'm happy for you! Kiddin' aside, I hope I helped you

You did, thank you.
Sure is a shame though, MoonKnight looks really cool, they should have at least made him glide or as it's also known "fall down with style".
Since I'm already bugging you, do Doom and C.Marvel come with a full set of powers, that is to say, do they have the same number of powers as the rest of the characters or are they like Deadpool was in XML2?

No, they are fully done. And great to play as (especially Captain Marvel for me).
Oh, and if there is anything else, you can still "bug" me :D

Fair enough, get ready:
1.Do Doom and Marvel run or do they have that odd glide thing like Magneto, Ms.Marvel and Dr.Strange?
2.Is that the Stark armor from Civil Wars in your avatar?
3.What is the capital of Independent State of Papua New Guinea?
4.Does Doom come with different skins or is he like Silver Surfer?Because I don't think I've ever seen a "different" Dr.Doom...
5.How big do you think the final release of this mod will be?

1. they run
2. yes it is
3. no clue
4. yes, he has different skins
5. this is the majority of this release. anything that gets added to it will probably be pretty minor

Quote from: ragincajun on October 10, 2009, 03:55PM

I don't think so...
MUA2 characters with "official" animations/effects will probably be added to this pack.

Thank you, so if individual downloads are out, can I at least request a 4shared.com mirror?It's the most stable service for me.
Wait what, the MUA2 will be added?I thought you guys couldn't do that considering MUA2 runs a different engine...or something like that?

The PS3/XBOX360 versions are using a new engine. The Wii/PS2 version is still fairly similar to the one in MUA1 without the advanced lighting.

Let's just port the entire game then. ;)
Or...we could just do the simple thing and use that thing which I'm not allowed to mention that can let you play ps2 games on the PC but I'm not mentioning it at all.
Guess I should download this then, hopefully somebody will get a 4shared mirror.

Hey everyone, so I just stumbled upon this mod and downloaded everything from scratch, following all instructions. Then when I boot up the game from Heroselect using the Default choice to see if it works properly, everything is screwed up. Almost all of the added characters (like Hawkeye) are invisible in the team selection. When I select them for my team, it boots me back to the desktop, saying that the game is not working properly. The game works fine without the mod, tho. Any help?

You need to select the characters you want in the Heroselect. I had this once back, it was fixed by doing so.

Ok, so I just did that and now only Colossus and Moon Knight are visible. Everyone else is still invisible.

Do you mean invisible like there are fully black kinda statues in their place or that there is nothing ?

They are completely invisible, not just those black statues that appear when they are locked. All I can see is their names and shadows against the wall. I'd take a pic to clarify, but its just showing up as a giant black block when i printscreen and paste to Paint.

Did you add all the files to where you installed Marvel ultimate alliance ? Have you added the characters herostats into the herostat.cfg within the heroselect folder ? Did you select the characters you wanted to use when you open heroselect ?
You might also want to read the heroselect_readme.

Well, I figured out the problem. Apparently I was supposed to take all the folders out of the "Official Characters" folder that I extracted to the MUA directory and then allow them to replace the old folders already in the directory. Now, however, I used heroselect to fill out my own roster but when I went into the game it gave me the "Default" roster instead. (including Hulk, Moon Knight, Captain Marvel, and Hawkeye)

   
Guys, I have a problem. Launch MUA when I do I get the following message: "An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.

File not found."

In the end of this message(details) i read:

"When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine rather tha begin handled byt this dialog"

How can i do??

PLease help me T_T

Has anyone encountered the following dialogue (actually, it's just one statement) when using Captain Marvel?  The voice is that of a female, who periodically says:

"I would need to recharge before I could do that."

I've noticed this ever since I began using him months ago, but it still persists.  Is there something I can do to remove it?

If I'm right is Black Widow's voice. The only way to fix it is deleting that file form Captain Marvel sounds file. If you give some time I can remove it for you.

That would be great -- let me know when you are able to remove it.  Do you think there is a different file for Captain Marvel that is supposed to be in its place?

The woman voice is a quote that he say when he doesn't have enough energy for his powers, and he should have at least one more quote for that command, so, yes, I must be able to change it. If he doesn't have a sound for that, I'll see what can I do. I'll sent you a pm when I finish.

OK, thanks, whiteking!

First off I'm new to the board so Hello!, and I just wanted to say thank you for this mod, playing as Colossus(my fav) makes the game so much better, and with the other character's it really feels like a marvel comic/game, and Captain Marvel is an awesome character to play as well. I am however having an issue but I don't know if maybe it's because of the mod, but, I beat the game on easy setting..and when I started a game on normal it didn't give me the "load default settings" or the "load saved settings" and I'm wondering if it's a bug or..if you have to beat the game on normal in order to get the settings? any help would be appreciated :D   :colossus:

I think beating the game on normal should do the trick. Was a long time ago when I finished the game, so can't really remember well XD

If I remember well, this is only in Hard mode, no?

nope.

Thx Mr.Law! I'll give it a try :colossus:

So I'm running around the upstairs of Sanctum Sanctorum and what do I find to my surprise -- Hawkeye's simulator disc!  (Crap -- I'm not using him in this game for once!)

Anyway, that was a really cool surprise.  But that leads me to a question.  In reading the beginning of this thread, I thought that Hawkeye's mission was only for PSP.  I'm confused as to what has happened to the missions for PC.  Specifically, what characters now have missions?  I found Hulk's and Silver Surfer's missions at the bottom of the list in the training simulators.  Do Moon Knight and Captain Marvel have discs hidden somewhere?  Is there anyone else (e.g., Colossus) that also have missions?  Finally, I think there were four extra missions available in the training simulators in the previous update of the Official Characters Mod where your characters could battle various villains.  They were cool too; but were they eliminated to be able to add the new hero simulator missions?

Thanks again!

From the first post:

The pack also includes:
- PSP exclusive Comic Book missions for Hawkeye and Captain Marvel
- PC exclusive Comic Book missions for Hulk, Silver Surfer and Moon Knight

For Captain Marvel's comic book mission, is Captain Marvel supposed to "say" his lines that pop up?  Usually the character's voice says what is displayed on the screen.  My game is silent here.

I installed the pack and then hero-selected a few characters off and swapped a few in. I LOVE my roster! I LOVE this mod! Amazing job!!!!

A question: I experimented with heroselect quite a bit, and every time, between 1-3 heroes (seemingly arbitrarily, or randomly, chosen) appeared locked (as black statues) in the character selection screen; the locked characters changed every time I swapped the roster, and they were never the same character, or in the same roster spot. My current roster started with nightcrawler locked (only). Will I be able to somehow unlock him during play? Is this intended? Is it a bug?

Thanks!

Hulk and Nightcrawler are supposed to be locked from the beginning (unlocked after the Omega mission and after saving NC in Mephisto's Realm). Not sure about any other locked characters. Generally, I just use the unlock all characters code.

thanks... also, where is captain marvel's mission CD? Am I right in assuming I'll have to wait until the shi'ar/skrull levels? And what about MK's CD?

You sure you want to know?  It spoils the fun!

I have encountered something sad and depressing.... The thing that's supposed to happen with Magneto when you try to save Jean AND Nightcrawler didn't work. Jean Died. Pity. Any advice?

don't worry, she comes back at the end of the game. the phoenix never really dies LOL!

Pretty sure thats Dark_Mark's individual Magneto mod, not the OC pack

I think it says on the first page the Magneto is Dark_Mark's Magneto. Let me check...

That happened in my last game too.  However, I didn't even have Magneto in my roster.  I think he has to actually be on the team you are using when you are beginning to decide who to save.

I did that. I did while playing as Magneto. I went up to Nightcrawler's cage with Magneto, and tried rescuing him. Although, I just realized I didn't have the latest OC pack installed. I think I'll reinstall MUA and try the latest :P I think that's where I erred.

If somebody knows, answer please. When i fighting with Mephisto, i can't see him. Something wrong with my cam.

I've had a problem in Mephisto's Realm the last time I went through there with the latest OC update -- I can no longer retrieve the sword from the fire giant by using the "F" key (or by any means).  Has this happened to anyone?

what's up guys it's been a long time, i think i'm having some troubles with the game, i can't see any simulator disc from colossus, moonknight hawkeye, etc anyone has pass trough the same problem??, also i haven't see the scene with swordman in murdelword level anyone knows why??  any solution?? i hope someone can help me on thie

Isn't Swordsman in Hawkeye's Sim Disk? I dunno for sure, I hate the Murderworld level, so I always stop there.

I love play and unlock characters but Hulk and Hawkeye came unlocked. How can I change this?
I tried whith charinfo.xlmb but dont'work!

Nobody know?!

Is there a cyclops or black widow mission CD? And if there aren't... how do I get their 4th skins?

(edited & double post fixed by mod request) :)

hawkeye's disc is in the 2nd floor stairs of the sanctum sanctorum, capt marvel's at the kree hub. I don't remember where moon knight's disc is, but it's also available "later". Swordsman is the bad guy at the end of Hawkeye's disc. Hope this helps.

Superhiepsi dont triple post, if you want to add something to your post just edit.

When I try the  :hawkeye: mission simulator mission the game crashes.

Do you even have Hawkeye in your roster?

yes

i still can't find any simulator disc from the official characters :S

Previously I installed Jean Grey MUA2, DarkPhoenix, Surge and Firestar. This morning I tried installing the official pack and then tried using HeroSelect. I already added them to the .cfg file (both name, name+stat) before eof. And I also added them through HeroSelect.

But when I wanted to use a team, it processed really long and was like not responding (a dos like window pop up behind). After it finished I tried running the game but still the official default characters.

Later I tried just adding a few characters and Jean. It quickly assembled the team but still the same default team.

What am I doing wrong here? I'm using windows XP btw.

Did you make sure the directory is right in the heroselect files and program? Like C:\\Program files\\etc (in one of those files)

My MUA is installed in it's the default path (C:\\Program files\etc). Anything else that could be wrong?

EDIT : Already solved the problem, I pasted the herostat for dark phoenix with some extra space characters and it showed up weird on the herostat so I removed it and now everything works well. Just have to figure out the best order to place all those caracters ^^;;;

So, nobody knows how to unlock cyke's and widow's 4th costume?

Also, what teams does Widow belong to? She doesn't count towards Agents of SHIELD or femmes fatales... so, does she have ANY team bonuses at all?

Finally... where are Torch and Iceman's CDs? Were they removed to make way for the new ones?

Thanks!

I do.... Da cheat code. Press Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Enter at the character select screen or the main menu for all costumes to every character. That's all for now.

( sorry for my  bad english.. im hungarian )

And please help

Your bad english is okay, but I don't like your bad language. And anyways, look in this large topic (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=1184.0). It'll say it somewhere.

I keep getting a message that says can not open output file.

I'm having a few different problems with this:

-Many characters I've selected don't show up at all in the select screen, other than their name-- just an invisible spot. If selected, they crash the game.
-Heroselect does not properly generate herostat.engb. Instead it makes a whole bunch of files named Dataherostat.(extension) in the main directory, rather than the data directory, which I must then rename and overwrite manually. Once this is done, I arrive back at problem #1.

That's weird, I've never had that problem. Re-isntall the game and the mods, be sure to copy all the files in the correct folder, maybe that's the problem.
For some unknown reason Heroselect never worked properly for me so I always install the mods with the traditional process.
Try that and see if works.

What to do????? At me at code introduction, health on zero goes

Is this only for pc?? I was wondering if this was for xbox or ps2 or any old systems?? :moonk: :moonk:

PC only. Check the console boards.

Which can be found below.  I did a mod for the original Xbox, but it requires a modded Xbox.  The PS2 mod exists, but nobody but the original author ever got it to work, and he's long gone.

I don't really understand this... How exactly do you back up files? All I did was to extract the files into the MUA directory, saying "Yes to all", but I didn't back up files... What does that mean to back up files? Can you please explain to me from where you download the 7-zip and how you use it... And could you please give me further and more specific instructions... When I extracted the files the only new characters I got was Hulk, Hawkeye, Moon Knight and Captain Marvel. Could you please help me? Thanks! :)

To back up your files means to make copies of all of them and save them to somewhere else in your computer, that way in case you screw something up, you have the original files to go back to. 
This should be the link for the 7-zip files http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mzjniwkiode  Basically, its just another way to download and install the mod. 
You got Hulk, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, and Captain Marvels and defaults; you use HeroSelect to change out your characters.  HeroSelect came with the mod and there should be a wonderful step-by-step instruction file on how to use it.

What are Unzipped hero select files?

The mod is awesome. So far I run into two problems:

1.) Sabretooth doesn't have any powers.

2.) The game crashes when I get to Murderworld

doesn't have any powers... hmm.. check his packages.

murderworld, time for me to test the OC this week :P

Is there any trick to choosing what simulator discs you can play in the game?  I installed the official characters v1.2, but the Silver Surfer, Moon Knight and Hulk simulators do not show up when I play the game.  I also have the problem of finding the Cap't America simulator mission where I should be finding Blade and Ghost Rider.  Any help on getting the Blade and BR discs corrected would be appreciated as well.

I'm not being able to download the pack through either mediafire or rapidshare. is it just me?

The link for mediafire works for me, but the other link  isn't working, it re-directs to the main page of rapidshare.

the mediafire link works, but when you try to start the download it never starts

That's weird.
I was able to download the pack from mediafire without any problem.

EDIT. maybe mediafire is currently locked/not available on your country or something like that, sometimes it happen to me. Try later :)

ok, it worked on internet explorer, wasn't working on google chrome.

I downloaded this, but it would only work if i removed the heroselect files.....but now i have the base set up of hawkeye, hulk, etc. on my beginning team.

So now I am manually downloading hero select, but this information confused me

"After you have these items, do the following:
• Paste the files (make sure to backup what you will be overwriting) from the \menus directory located inside the directory where you unzipped HeroSelect to \Activision\Marvel – Ultimate Alliance\ui\menus\ (or similar for your machine). This is a very important step! If you skip this step, you will not be able to have 27 characters. The files allocate certain locations for the character menu"

If I place heroselect folder containing the "heroselect read me","herostat.cfg", herolist, passvalues, characterselect, heroselect, and nrcompiler in the \Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\ area, what do i need to do next?

Hey guys!

I just finished a game with this mod and I noticed a few bugs or something. Hope this helps in improving the mod.

First off I have finished this game before unmodded. So I have unlocked all characters and at least have 2 or more outfits available for each character, including the fourth.

Also, This is the only mod I've used, including the previous version as the first. Everything I've unlocked carried over the modded game.

Now for the recent playthrough, I've modified the character roster. I've picked every official characters in their respective positions with a few changes:
1. Cyclops in place of Hawkeye
2. Sabretooth for Moonknight
3. Colossus for Hulk
4. Magneto for Captain Marvel
5. Nightcrawler for Daredevil

I played through normal difficulty with Cyclops, Sabretooth, Magneto and Iceman for my team. I used Iceman to pick all the skill and attribute bonuses. I've also turned off everyone's auto-spend and auto-equip. Now here are some of the issues I found.

1. I couldn't find the Human Torch sim disc in the left side of the T-Intersection right after the first dialogue with Galactus. I was pretty sure it'd be there, I even double checked a guide. I also have 2 other sim discs missing in the list but I just might've missed them,.I'm not sure whose they are yet. All in all I have three missing, one above Piledriver, one above Dragonman, and one above Hawkeye.

2. After finishing the game with the team I mentioned I changed the roster to Storm, Human Torch, Thor, and Iceman still in his Bobby Drake skin and then saved in Doomstark without going through the sim disc missions. Then I went to heroselect to change back to the default set up. Afterwards I loaded the last Doomstark save. Iceman changed back to his first skin. Then I checked his skills. All his skills got reset into 25 points, undistributed. His blue skill point is also missing. I then checked the other character's stats. Others also have missing blue skill points. There are some who have theirs moved (Mister Fantastic's went to his pinball move) while others have more than one (Invisible Woman has three, Luke Cage has seven). There are some who have their points distributed even though the auto-spend is turned off and even without using them once (Luke Cage and Wolverine). I then tried to revert to the last roster I used. Sabretooth and Cyclops' previous skills and skin setup remained while Magneto turned out just like Iceman, skills and skin reset. But Magneto still had his blue skill point.

3. At one time in the middle of the game I checked on Luke Cage's stats and I saw his three skins locked. I didn't really mind it at all so I forgot the conditions of the game during that time. Now though he got all his skins back.

Hope this information helps.

Great job men there are fantastic +10 !!

1. Dark_Mark replaced some default missions with new ones.

2. Everytime a hero has been replaced in the herostat, you definetely need to start a new game for changes to take FULL effect.

3. See 2, I think. A bit vague though, was this after the setting heroselect to default thing?

ow men! u guys r so lucky to play mua with  those mods. all i really need right now is the game itself but its so hard for me to buy that game right now. :toad:

If there is a problem with it, it'll be something to do with not putting the files in properly or not knowing how to work heroselect.
The mod itself is perfect.

can someone tell me what is cyclops :cyclops:, black widow :blackwidow:, and venoms  :venom: xtreme attacks called and what do they do? thank u.

don't know the exact names, but cyclops shoots a bunch of lazorz around that bounce around and deal lots of damage, black widow spins around on the ground and shoots lots of bullets and i can't remember venoms

Optic Rage. Always has been in every game, from X-Men children of the Atom to Marvel vs Capcom (he was in it right?) and X-Men vs. Streetfighter and even the XML games.

i've read some comments about this mod and for some reason most of them are having problem installing. can somebody tell me how to install this mod without getting into a problem at the start especially while i'm about to intall my mua games?. :nova: i just dont want any mistake when i'm about to install the mod.  :blackwidow:

I installed the official pack a few months ago...everything works fine, except for Captain Marvel. The model is...glitchy, i guess. Like, the skin is too big for the skeleton. He's very short, and very wide. His movements during gameplay are really strange, too. I'm not sure who to ask about this model...(Dark Mark, maybe?) Anyone know what I need to do to fix it?

that's strange. I don't have that problem. Cap Marvel is working just fine and dark_mark's models are disturbingly perfect.

Same here, i really like the character so I always use him and i havent had those issues

unless you have the oc pack for so long you haven't yet downloaded the latest version. the previous one featured different cap marvel skins, more cartoonish. if that's the case, you should download the new 1.2 version.

I didn't notice a change in the Captain Marvel skins.  I hope I have the correct ones in the New Official Characters Skin thread -- could you check that Nowhere Man and see if they are the most up-to-date Captain Marvel skins?

Official Characters 1.3 is this possible?

No.  We are done with this mod.

@fox - well, the old marvel skins were in the 1.0 pack. the 1.1 already had these new ones. believe me, they were completely different. they were those 2D cartoon skins. if your skins are 3D you're ok.

EDIT: yup, you got the right ones.

OK, thanks for checking, Nowhere Man.

when i did this i only got hawkeye capt marvel and moonknight..why didnt i get everyone else?

The answer is right in the first post "Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Hulk and Moon Knight come pre-installed. Use Heroselect to swap them out if you wish.". You can only have 27 characters at one time.

thanks man i think im finally getting the hang of this...slowly...

im gonna add some more characters would you recomend i wait to install these to do the heroselect swap thing or does it even matter?

Hello everyone I love the mod (or the 4 characters I've seen of it anyway)
and I think I'm missing something with the heroselect. I follow all the step I think its installed properly but when I go into the game its all the default characters still and the hulk, hawkeye, capt marvel and moon knight

So does anyone know why the default characters are there even when I don't select them but ones like nightcrawler don't appear???
Cheers

There somethings wrong on  :cyclops: grabsmash, it's just liked Default Man not liked Silver Surfer interact does. If guys play MUA1 Gold (X360) or MUA2 (PS2, PSP or Wii). You might have have to play as Cyclops and using his grabsmash on enemies. I made one in prototype version. But i did'nt upload it right now.

I'll do a screencap and show you what I mean. I have had this problem with a few other models. I must have changed some setting somewhere and f'ed the model up at some point...
EDIT: Here it is. (http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab30/DTylerH_09/ff63ec32.jpg)

that is his old model, dark mark did a new official model. you can see pics of it here http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4266.0.html
(http://i47.tinypic.com/axo4rp.jpg)

So you really want to know what happen when we using Captain Marvel's Official Models

This is what happens when we once press jump button outside HQ Base (Mission Gameplays):
(http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww199/Power_Cosmic/OCProofProblem1.png)
(http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww199/Power_Cosmic/OCProofProblem2.png)

When we once press jump button in HQ Base, he's fine. Weird. Did i just change something inside of Captain Marvel's power file or it cames from all models.

According to Dark_Mark status in deviantart still unknown to him  :confused:.

A dev at raven or nspace said that the alchemy object modifier needs to be placed on every model exported. I've been doing it for a few days but I was unable to test it. I've put it on the sabretooth models though.

I'm not sure if it works, but the object modifier is the only modifier that has the "collidable" option.

A developer that I have talked to, and who wishes to remain anonymous.

I really like this mod. Everything is well done and works fine for me so far. Great work *thumbs up*

First I wanted to thanks everyone involved for this mod. I've enjoying it for a while and it gave me the chance to play as my favorite Marvel character, venom :venom:. But I just wanted to ask how do I unlock his fourth skin, if there's any to unlock.
Can anyone hint me on this one?

Thanks in advance.

It would be nice, if venom had the ability to eat people to recover, As he does in the game Ultimate Spider-Man. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgeW493IDUo)
Venom could have Omega Red's Coil Attack that Drains Life (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,993.0.html) with the same animation from the game Ultimate Spider-man.

It would be nice, but it is a dream, I do not know how to do this by myself, and nobody would want.  :venom:

THe above should go in the request board, you never know someone may like the idea and do it, but here it will just be overlooked as off topic stuff.

EDIT: Dont worry about what i posted. My real problem is .. can i play my save games with the new mod characters and herostat?
Because i don't want to start again.

You can't play with your saved games, you will have to start again, sorry.

Okay so thanks.
I tried again .. with the new characters in different locations. I launched mua from heroselect and when i begun a new story on easy with default statistics, my game freezes and i have to alt-tab my game to exit it. Then when it does exit, the heroselect closes as well.
EDIT: So i tried loading it again ... and then i get the default roster, as in with hulk, moonknight, hawkeye, captain marvel and the normal MUA characters.
Any help?

Make sure your heroselect is correctly config'd (right directorie link etc). And launch the game via Heroselect. I hope this helps.

Don't know if I was just dream or whatnot but i was just playing as  :ghostr: in Mephistos realm and he is not one of the char. i had on my roster. I guess it is due the NPC stat. I love the fact there r no more missing huds. i don't know what happened I was just Happy cus it jus makes the story match up better when you get to play him for the reminder of that Level. so thank you all for the outstanding work on the OCM. Again thanks to everyone who who worked on the OCM

There is a bit in Mephisto's Realm where you have to swap one of your characters out for Ghost Rider, is that what happened?

 :ghostr: Yes  but he is not one of the chara. I selected in my heroselect so I was shocked to see him in the mix. He had all his powers and the his passives for his first skin. It was great. I assume it has something to do with the NPC stat but you 'd have to talk to one of the pros on the site to confirm it.

Who made Hawkeye? Because I want to ask for permission, to use some stuff from it.

The Hawkeye mod is a conversion of the version made by Vicarious Visions, however the Hawkeye models were converted by Dark_Mark.

dark_mark has a policy of "just credit me, no permission needed", so even though he's been inactive I believe you can still mod Hawkeye.

Hm...so if I want use some of Hawkeye's powers and his bows, than all I need to do, is give credit to VV and Dark_Mark?

Just a random question, but does this pack contains a file that messes with the minimons/2th 3th and 4th party members attacks.
All my partymembers (exept for the one im playing) seem to add damaga instead off lowering it when theyre close or attack a enemy.
This problem didnt occur when i dindt install the OC pack. (its still a great pack though :P) But it just kinda bugs me, since its pretty hard to enjoy multiply man and Mysterio when the clones just make it worse. Any idea?

Yep

I must permit him first on deviantart to upload new fix & update for Hawk's. Otherwise i have all Fix & Update, w/ new different arrows in Photoshoped Version.

3. See 2, I think. A bit vague though, was this after the setting heroselect to default thing?

Hey Law. Sorry I wasn't able to reply earlier. I had a month long project that kept me from getting back here earlier I didn't catch up to the changes to the site.

For #2 my main concern is the random distribution of skill points including the free (blue) points. Is it really part of the process whenever I use heroselect? Is there any way I can prevent that from happening or at least try to keep everything in their default setup, even if I have to do it manually?

for #3, if I remember correctly it was after, as I was trying to check each and every character's skill points. But a simple restart of the program fixed that up and the 4th skin showed up again.

Not starting a new game after using heroselect to change your roster may cause such weirdness in-game.

when a put:  :venom:  :hulk_icon:  :nightcrawler:  :magneto:, I have a Shaba Ultimatte. But the extreme (with every four caracthers together) don't work and everybody stay so slow! Somebody have the same problem? Samebody know how can I fix this?

Quote from: Mr. Law^^ on April 29, 2010, 08:11AM
Not starting a new game after using heroselect to change your roster may cause such weirdness in-game.

By New Game you mean with Default Statistics and not Load Saved Game Statistics? The random skill point distribution appears in the latter.

Default statistics, because it resets everything. If you swapped characters then a savegame will be useless for the new ones, and savegames contain data of the characters you swapped out: the game doesn't load those characters.

help me...how can i play the other official characters aside from hulk, hawkeye, captain marvel & moon knight...
can anyone give me a step by step procedure..i'm still a noob at this...the heroselect program does'nt seem to work or i just really don't know how to use it...

thanks i badly needed ur help!=)

@r3nzy, You can play the others but you need to change herostat.engb (or herostat.cfg in the folder "heroselect").

r3nzy maybe the old fashion way of editing stuff will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WyMIbhKBOc

I swear I'm so lost in all of thisl Maybe it's too late or something.

I don't know if it is the same issue, but for me, when I try to extract using winrar and 7zip I keep getting an error. It says "Can not open output file" for three different files every time I try to extract with 7zip. Anyone know what's up?

I think I had this same issue before, and the problem was that I had the zip files in the game's directory in the program files(x86), tried to extract from there and it was probably a Vista and Win7 security issue.

Instead just extract the zips somewhere else, like your documents and then just drag and drop the folders into the game's directory from there. Or just install the game in a location other than program files.

Yeah, Deadpool fan I was having the same issue as well. But I'll try what Slide said and see what happens.

Yeah, that worked for me. Thanks for the help!

Need some help trying to figure this thing, I'm very much a computer noob and am new to computer games. With the last one I played being Sim City. Oh yeah.

Ok so I downloaded the official chars mod, and followed the instructions, and it only seems to unlock Hawkeye and Hulk?

Magneto, Sabertooth, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Black Widow, Cpt. Marvel, Dr. Doom, etc etc are no where to be found? I tried doing the heroselect thing and picked out the chars that I wanted, but nothing seems to save as when I lick accept an error message pops up.

I tried the marvelmods youtube video, but was incredibly confused by it, and I did download one of the programs they suggested me to use to compile or whatever the files, but apparently the program doesn't work with my newer version of windows. So I'm not sure how to manually install anything :(

What am I doing wrong?

Oh I forgot, this also unlocked Colossus and Moon Knight.

And the error message at the heroselect says something about a NRcompiler. I guess I need that, but I have no idea where or how to download it?

I think my problem might have something to do with the heroselect?

I recommend to do the vid step by step. It took me a while to get it to, but one you copy the video (meaning you do what the inscrutions say and pause it with each step) it worked. BTW: You must mean XMLBCUI Right? Its the program used in the video

^ Yeah that's the step that won't work for me. I downloaded the program and it won't run on my computer. I was hoping for a work around or an updated version or something. I'm using Windows Vista professional, and I can't get it to run.

I'm pretty sure my issue is with heroselect though. As when I accept my team, that error message pops up and doesn't allow me to save my changes, or even launch the game off of heroselect.

Which is odd because it does give me 4 out of the 11 characters in the pack. So I'm doing something right, but at the same time I'm also doing something wrong.

(http://marvelmods.com/forum/Smileys/marvel/domino.gif)

you forgot the IMG codes^^ See now you were able to do it! :P

Vista and all other later crap need administrator permissions to use programs for modding the game. So when installing/using xmlbcui, make sure you run it as administrator.

I don't have finished the game yet, but, where to get the Hulk comic mission?

Sweet, I ran the program as an admin and it worked, however when I did the herostat.engb thing on the compiler, I hit accept and got an error message.

status failure: code 3001
message: <PARSE> syntax error

What did I do wrong? I thought I was doing it right for once lol.

Hold on, seeing as these characters are actually in the default code, as their names pop up in heroselect. Maybe my problem is with heroselect?

When I make my changes and press accept, I get a message saying something about the NRcompiler not found or something? But I do see the icon for the NRcompiler in the folder. I tried double clicking it, but apparently thats not how you're supposed to use it, so maybe I'm using heroselect or the NRcompiler wrong.

Can anyone help me out? This has been bugging me for days. Many thanks in advance btw.

recommend the ''all simulator disc'' cheat here ^^. If you dont want to have all of them then just dont save after using the cheat^^. Its the whole point of simulator discs, you dont know where they are :O

But it can be obtained trough the game?, or can be played with cheat only?
I'm interested in restore the Hulk the way that Raven originally planned, if the mission is only accesible by cheats, I'm not interested.

There's somethings wrong with Nightcrawler's costume passives talent files. Unliked in here http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/932586-marvel-ultimate-alliance/faqs/45567. Somethings messed up & different w/ him. Known:
Astonishing: 2 passives
AoA: non
Ultimate: OK, but there's something different
Classic: Unknown

Its called a cheat and you can activate it by using google :P

Oh and as for NC. It doenst really matter (to me at least) passives can never be bad :P

I have an odd problem. I used the file with no issues to add Magneto, Doom, and Cyclops but I have one issue now and I cannot figure out why it's happening or how to fix it. None of my flyers can fly now they all double jump. None of them.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Well I used hero select and selected default and assembled my team. Launched the game and the default roster works. The fliers can fly. I exit the game and try again replacing Luke Cage, Blade, and Elektra with Magneto, Dr. Doom, and Cyclops. Left the roster at their default locations. Started the game. My three new characters are there and work but none of my fliers fly, they only double jump.

This is very odd and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why.

You must start a new game any time you install any mods or change any characters.  If you have already beaten the game once, you must select "Use Default Stats" when starting a new game.

The game doesn't read the coding programed inside to make the characters fly - the coding won't be read until, as Tea said, the game reloads the default settings

I am having a recurring problem with this mod and am wondering if anyone can help me out with it.  I have installed the mod on 2 seperate computers and each time I have done it when I get the Blade and Ghost Rider comic mission discs they are replaced by the Captain America Simulation.  I also found the sim disc on the 2nd floor of Dr. Strange's mansion and it again pulled up the Capt. America mission.

I guess my question are: Has anyone had a similar problem?  If so what were you able to do to correct it?  And is there a way to manually select which simulator missions are in the game?  In other words can I correct this without having to re-install the game on my machine and re-install the mod again?  Any help would be greatly appreciated?

When you replace a character that had a sim disc you get a generic sim disc.  The simulator for those characters you replaced won't work.

I still have Blade and Ghost Rider in my active roster, so the sim disc should still work.  Plus, when I do remove characters, upon finding their sim disc it does not default only to the Captain America simulation.

okay, so i  finally bought my own mua game  on ebay but i'm still waiting to arrive. so in the mean time came somebody give me a help or an advise on about downloading,installing,heroselect etc. before i install the game. i just dont want to have any mistake and error while installing the mod and others things cuz i'm not much a computer expert,so any advise .tnxs

Believe me, when you see the menu from heroselect you know exactly what to do, its really easy promise :)
As for installing there's a youtube guide by Frankie :)

Hello everyone, just a question... Is there any conversation between Cyclops and Jean Grey in MuRderWorld ??? 

Yes

 :wolverine:i have a problem with sounds.when i install this mod the movies and the heroes dont talk at all.at the beging where fury speaks i hear nothing.on conversations too.pls send me an email with an answer

Amazing woo!! Thanks a bunch!! :D

I got it working, but when I go to HeroSelect, my team that I chose isn't there. I can only choose characters that are pre-loaded. Do I have to do anything special?

EDIT: I think what I'm having trouble with is adding the characters herostats into the herostat.cfg within the heroselect folder.. How exactly do I do this?

@CGBS, change your MUA's heroselect.engb directory in the herostat.cfg.

Great mod.But I have a problem.It crashes on the area where you have detroy the sonic emiters.Anyone have this problem?

No, everything is fine, may be you did mistake during installing mod.

Yeah it was one of the mods I had installed.It works now.

I'm back again. I had given up on installing the Xmen Legends characters because I couldn't get it to work for me. (The other MUA characters such as Hawkeye, Hulk, Captain Marvel, etc. work just fine.) But now I'm ready to try again.

I watched the youtube video, went step-by-step in using the XMLBCUI program. I get my new heroselect.engb file with all the characters I want to use and in their new menu selection places.

Now the problem comes when I replace the old heroselect.engb file with my new file. I click to run MUA, and immediately get an error. The game will not start up AT ALL, I don't even get the preview screens.

So what's my problem?

this usually happens to me when I don't have the correct spacing in the herostat.cfg file for heroselect.  So instead of looking like this

   }

jeangrey

it looks like this

}
jeangrey

Between the correct spacing and making sure that there are no spaces and no caps in the names on either the list up top or the actual stat are my two biggest issues when it acts like that.

Another thing to look for that I had trouble with starting out was making sure that the first stat under the name was in the correct space. Here's an example what often happens when you copy and paste something,

wrong:

angel
stats {
   ailevel = 1 ;
   autospend = bruiser_light ;
   body = 7 ;
   characteranims = 162_angel ;


Right:


angel
   stats {
   ailevel = 1 ;
   autospend = bruiser_light ;
   body = 7 ;
   characteranims = 162_angel ;


just a few things to watch out for.

By the way Jean's herostat name isn't jeangrey but is phoenix.

Guys,i need help!
i download the file,i extract it, i paste it into the game folder everything is just fine..BUT....when i try to use the other officials except moon night, hulk,hawkeye and captain marvel using heroselect , there is an error about a file that cannot be found....PLEAZE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried re-installing? Also just hold your mouse while clicking all of the folders, with copy you have the risk you miss a folder

i re-installed it three times i've done  the holding thing but when i try other new charachters except the four i mentioned before it'll just won't work.it keeps popping up this error about RNcomplier and a file that could not be found althought i can see this program on the heroselect file i tried double-klicking it but that's not the way it probably works...any ideas?? I'm getting crazy....LOL

What's ''this program'' whats the name?

The RNcomplier

You know you just gotta clikc heroselect right? Also Rncompiler...I have never head of that, where is it located?

yes  i know.....It's located in the heroselect folder.....can you please give me the steps of how exactly making this work??plz...

I sure would, just if i knew where your talking about. Just click on the exe. heroselect program. and organise your roster, then press accept

Yes but when i do it pops up this error:

Usage for decompling binary IN_FILE into text based OUT_FILE:
NRcomplier.exe IN_FILE OUT_FILE


Error: Input file could not be opened


Press a key to quit


HELP...

You already tried opening it up in the OFC rar? Or delete the Entire heroselect folder and replace it with the one from a fresh download

what's the ofc rar?

I haven't got a fresh download you think i should?

Doi i have to do anything on herostat or herolist in order to make it work???

I'm begging you somebody answer me!!!!!!!!

dude your posts are 10 minuets apart. don't expect instant gratification.

but on topic, if you decompile the oc pack and take all the files into the mua1 main directory and make sure you replace all the existing files then it should work just fine, if it doesn't work, then you are doing something wrong. so can you explain your problem again for me?

Sorry i'm just a little impatient...so i'm quite sure i haven't done anything wrong because i've done it 6 times.....i choose my team with heroselect....but when i accept team it just keep poping up this error:


NRcompiler
Version 1.0
Created by Norrin Radd,2008

This program exports text files to a binary file type to text files

Usage for compiling text based IN_FILE into text based OUT_FILE:
NRcompiler.exe -c IN_FILE OUT_FILE

Usage for decompiling text based IN_FILE into text based OUT_FILE:
NRcompiler.exe IN_FILE OUT_FILE
===================<<<<<<^^^^>>>>>>================

Error: Incorrect usage. Specify input and ouput filenames

press any key to exit

That's all what do i do???

I'd recommend the updated compiler.

where can i find it??

Clicking here (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?action=search) and typing NRcompiler got me this link:
http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,2177.msg38366.html#msg38366


Really, a bit of searching will help.  Always.

I see his problem now, after he assembles his team with heroselect and presses accept, NRcompiler pops up right? Its the exact same text you described, just to be clear. You need to click the heroselect.exe Not the NRcompiler.exe. Try moving NRcompiler to a dif. folder or somthing

That doesn't work either. It is the exact same problem exept the error this time is:

Errorr: Input file could not be opened


what can i do??

Teancum... where is the command line located???

Hello,everyone today i downloaded your pack... And now i've read the read me for hero select...
Well as soon as i press accept teams this happens (http://slike.hr/slike-male/a/asdasd_80b3f.jpg) (http://slike.hr/slike/asdasd_80b3f.jpg.html) ..
and i've tried removing N-compiler and then it works and i can launch the game but the charcs aren't updated.... except the original ones xD ....

i've no idea what to do next . can someone help me please?

So, check the herostat.cfg file and change the way to your herostat.engb file. If it has already done, i don't know what is that.

Can someone please explain it to me better i don't understand what you're telling me xD
My herostat cfg is already done, all chars are there i didn't have to do anything except change the path...
So what should i do now?

Oh...look at this picture:

One problem you have is that the name is not jeangrey. It is phoenix. Change jeangrey to phoenix and it may work.

you change that in herostat right?can somebody tell me the exact step on only on how to install and extract the mod like this official mod right here. this could be really useful to me. i'm just really nervous about my firat start. thank you :firestar: :sauron: :namor:

there's a youtube video and a thread in the knowledge base about adding mods :) don't be nervous, it get's to be second nature really quickly.

is swordsman in the official characters pack?, i thought there was only deadpool

thank you ds224 , but i've already fixed everything before i've read your posts :P
heheheh and yea that was the problem what you were pointing out ..
my patch was d:marvel/marvel/ i forgot the second marvel LOL
idiot XD
and i've been struggling with the same prob for 4 hours lol and it was simple as that
now it works perfectly TY :P

Okay, so after  the official mod has been unpack , you will see in heroselect.cfg they added captain marvel, hawkeye,moonknight and hulk right? but how to do u swap other characters in the mod to put in your roster

i know u should change the herostat.cfg in the heroselect folder but how do u change it,  so that other charcaters in the mod can be use?. :sstar: :shehulk: :shehulk: :jubilee: :jubilee: :iceman: :iceman: :hawkeye: :hawkeye: :magik: :magik:

you could always do it manually like i do, i personally find the hero select program fiddly and i instead use XMLBCUI and decompile the herostat.engb

then use notepad to insert the characters i want, then recompile and your off

but as far as i'm aware you have to have the Hero select program to have the same address as your MUA folder I.E

H:\Program Files\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance Modded\MUA.exe like mine is

once it's directed to that, it should find the herostat.cfg on it's own.

so the herostat.cfg is where the other official characters are?right

yes, you can open it with either notepad or wordpad

Quote from: lordbane2110 on June 22, 2010, 04:31AM
yes, you can open it with either notepad or wordpad

how do you put them in herostat so that they could appear in heroselect
for u to use them?

ahh this is easy

first of you locate the herostat file in the characters zip, for the official characters one it has a list of all the characters available like

c:\\Program Files\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data\\
defaultman
hawkeye
blackpanther
blade
captainamerica
daredevil
deadpool
doctorstrange
elektra
iceman
invisiblewoman
ghostrider
humantorch
lukecage
silversurfer

under this list it has the actual character location and stats that will either need to be imported manually or will do so when you use heroselect to swap them over

such as if you want to add songbird

first you'de download the songbird.zip and copy across everything to you MUA folder, making sure you have made a backup first( in case something should go wrong)

then you add songbird to the bottom of the herostat.cfg file

cyclops
nightcrawler
magneto
sabretooth
blackwidow
ronin
doomdlc
venom
                            <-------- you place her name here
endoffile

then scroll down to below venom on the characters stats

venom
   stats {
   ailevel = 1 ;
   autospend = bruiser_light ;
   body = 7 ;
   characteranims = 176_venom ;

so you can see this

then place songbirds stats at point 2

if you have done this right songbird should appear in the heroselect, but like i said it can be very fiddly.

so if i want to add the nine other character in the official mod, i should do just like the example from Songbird, right

u can paste the charcaters names anywhere in herostat.cfg right

ideally the stats sections should be in the same order as the list, but generally as long as you leave the the end of file at the bottom of each you can't really go wrong

if however you want a almost complete herostat.cfg you could always have a copy of mine, it's close to upto date with only new psylocke missing.

well you could send me a private message with you email attached, and i have every character listed on the boards and in the catalogue in mine

so it tops off at nearlty 200kb which for the herostat file is pretty big, but even you you don't actually use mine, it would give you a good example of how to add various characters to the herostat file

the only character on my list i have never got to work right was balder and considering he's only a stage 1 character i'm not too bothered about it

Hi at all. I done the mod and is fantastic! I have a little problem. If i want to change a hero with another for example ms marvel with venom how i can do?

Right:


angel
   stats {
   ailevel = 1 ;
   autospend = bruiser_light ;
   body = 7 ;
   characteranims = 162_angel ;


just a few things to watch out for.

Okay I will try this. Thanks!

Anyone can re-upload the venom pack? it is down and i wish have venom.
Thank you.

There is no venom pack....You just click on the pictures to download. Which pic doesnt matter ;)

I mean the pack where venom is... the rapidshare link is down.

EDIT: Sorry... i was wrong with the pics. forget this reply.

Thanks ;)

So I tried XMLCBUI again. Made sure I dotted all my "I's" and crossed all my "T's."
The game still instantly crashes upon startup with the newly made engb file. If I paste the old one back in, it works just fine.

I'm at a point now where if anybody's willing to take a look at it, I can send my herostat file.
Or I can just tell someone what I want and they can set up the menuselection places for me (because that's truly all I'm changing about the file.)

:spiderwoman:

Send me the file, im willing to take a look at it

So I figured out what was wrong, why it kept crashing the game every time I tried to start it.
I wasn't aware that the herostat file can ONLY have 27 characters in it at one time. What I had done was just copy and pasted all the characters in as they were from the mods I downloaded, and left "XX" in the menu selection option of the characters all the ones I didn't want to use. I later to changed those "XX" to "0" to see if that would work, still no bueno.

So finally I just deleted out the characters I didn't want to use, leaving ONLY the 27 that I wanted, in their menu selection places that I chose, and VOILA! It's like magic lol.

Thanks to everyone that tried to help me!!! I was pulling my hair out!!!

I have a question, this mod not remplace the other characters?

No it simply adds 4 characters immediately to the game (Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Moon Knight and Hulk) If you want to add more you use Heroselect and take out who you want and replace them with whom you want. 

Up to a total of 27 characters can be in the game at one time.

You can also use a XMLBCUI which is to me a lot easier

Quote from: Jeanfan321 on July 09, 2010, 01:26AM

I tryed both and i preffer XMLBCUI to, with Heroselect, you need to re-organise your roster each time you wanna add a new char, with XMLBCUI thats not needed (Not saying that Heroselect is a bad program or somthing though, since i had days i couldnt live without)

Exactly all you do is copy and paste

If you change people in the game from this mod, the people who are left, will they still be able to have the conversations and special features? Like when Magneto save both Jean and Nightcrawler in Mephisto's Realm, say I swap out Ronin for so and so, will this still happen?

Well if you dont have magneto on ur team then you cant save both

Oh! :P  :emmafrost:

Tried searching for this but can't find the answer: How do I focus/unfocus powers? Magneto and Cyclops' first powers both have a 'focused' and 'unfocused' setting that only seem to be designed for consoles as it says to use the left analog stick. They seem to be stuck in unfocused, is there any way to change that?

Yes. I also have the same problem is there any way to fix it ( Cyclops beam not focusing)

That makes three of us.  I just assumed there was no way to focus these powers.  Maybe someone will have the answer!

Okay, now he seems to be focusing, but I'm not sure why (I tried various buttons, but I didn't notice any difference as it turns out I was practicing on energy resistant enemies). But hey, at least it means you can do it. Try pressing up/down while charging? That might have been it...

Is the last photo taken under advanced lightning?

Yep!

Thanks!

Just finished the whole game for the first time since the latest version was released. There were 2 sim discs missing in Act 4: Human Torch and Iceman, even though the review computer says I got all of them. Is that a problem with the OC mod or something else entirely?

At the character select screen, I can see everyone except Cyclops and Black Widow. How do I get them to appear after I've downloaded this program? How do I replace them with mods outside of this program

I just finished Act 4 myself and verified that Human Torch and Iceman's sim discs are missing.  I didn't realize it, but evidently their missions were replaced by two others with the OC mod.

Hey, I saw a problem posted a while back, and it's happenign to me- i use heroselect, set up my team, and when i go to run it, a pop up comes up saying there's a problem, and i can either quit or continue. BUT, when i play the game, its default characters, no sign of the mods. help?

I'm new here and i joined specially for this pack :P. Sadly, it seems all the links are broken, or is it only me?.
The rapidshare ones don't have the file and the mediafire ones don't load.

Sooo, i have few problems. I don't read all sides of this discusion, so sorry if this problems were here.
1. When I activate the Nightcrawler's extreme attack, the game crushes. Everytime.
2. After instalation of the mod, I can't fly with anyone.
Please help!

i'm not so sure it will work (it never happened to me) try re-installing the game and after that install the official characters pack 1.1 and after that one install the 1.2. i'm not sure if it wiil work but it's worth the try. wich version do you have? the italian, the usa.. wich one? because it might be the version too.

did you start a new game after you installed?

I don't know, but I think Britain version. And I try re-instal and it doesn't work.
Deedooo: Of course!

ok, i'm sorry but i don't know how to solve it.

ey deedoo, do you think it has something to do with the version? because i think it's the version (zillo i'm sorry if i'm rude)

Nevermind, other mods work, so i try some cool other mods.

but, you need this pack to make them work good, at least that's how it worked for me.

What? I try some mods without this mod and it work perfect.

oh, ok. sorry it's just that i always use this mod when i re-install jajaja.

hey, I dled the newest version of this, I did what I understood and heroselect works for the most part...it will start the game ect, I have the  :hulk_icon: :moonk: :genis: :hawkeye: all working...but when I swap out characters to what I want, start the game, start a new game and they dont show up, just the normal characters and those 4. :( any help would be appreciated...

btw Im really new..just started on this game, and Want some mods. lol

@warshod When trying to use Heroselect to setup my characters, it didn't work for me. I had to do it the long way with xmlbcui. And it took me forever to figure out how to get the characters to show up. You can ONLY have 27 characters' stats in the game at one time, as that is the limit. If you have more than that, it will either crash the game upon trying to start, or will load with the original characters, plus hulk, moonknight, captain marvel, and hawkeye. So you have to completely delete the stats of the heroes you do not want to use.

What I did was make a copy of the file, so that way I can just copy/paste stats whenever I wanna swap out characters. Hope that helps (and you understand).

@deedooo I figured out that Nightcrawler's extreme attack crashes my game as well, which limited my chances to play with him. So I would only use him at times when I knew I wouldn't need to use extreme attack. I'm not sure why it does that though.

have you tried reinstalling it? cause it sounds like a missing file/file conflict issue.

sorry with what program do I open herostat?
I can follow all the points of the guide, but not to where I need to add strings

Follow the instructions and I can add characters but without powers, what is wrong?

Usually altering Heroselect requires you to start a new game.  Check this excellent guide:

http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4886.msg94391.html#msg94391

Heroselect cannot find the herostat file to mod when I run it, I tried to reinstall more than once but zip.  I can't acccess Venom or any of the ones I like, how in the hell do I fix this?

Figured it out, my game is on drive D

out of curiosity, are the new heroes supposed to be able to do anything, or are they just here to look cool, because when i try and use a non stock hero, the character can't do much. They can move around (sometimes), and can attack and block (rarely), but they have no powers that I can see/use. am I missing something?

Also, certain characters don't show up on mypanorama of who I can pick. Their names are above an empty space, and when I pick one, cyclops of one of them, the game immediatly CTD. any help (because I'm almost positive that isn't supposed to happen)?

Did you start a new game with default stats ? Cause yes, these characters do have powers and they don't crash if you have installed them correctly and started a new game.

I believe so. I just installed ua before i dled the mod. I don't know what std stats are, but i didn't do anything besides install the mod if that's what you mean. I started a new game with the mod on normal. I guess I can try deleting the whole thing and copy from my clean version, but i was wondering if anyone knows anything a bit less drastic.

well, I took the files from the backup and tried again. Still no luck. Same problems as before.

Wow, I checked the common problems thread, and it seems that my case is distressingly unique. Obviously the mods changed something, as I can see the new characters. However, they're kinda useless.

I always start a new game. Great guide, I followed it doing option 1, but instead it just shut off when I started a new game, new stats, or even loaded one. Blarg :(

@marvelrookie, I figured that, I deleted some heroes that I dont care about, but do I delete there stats and name from the herostat.cfg file? or from files in "data". :\

excuse my lack of knowledge of this :P

since i still can't get my game to work, I've just been looking  through ifles and messing around. When I read the hero select read me, it said that to run it correctly, I needed to have the colossus and moon knight mods. I don't know where to dl them. Or are they in the official characters mod?

MK and Colossus should already be in the Official Character Pack,as long as you are using the latest version (1.2)

I am. Hmm. I guess the readme isn't up to date. Back to not knowing what the problem is. Ah well, I'm sure someone will eventually find out what I'm doing wrong.

Both download sites, (the mirror as well) say that the server does not have that file...

Well I got it with chrome but not firefox....so IDK.

the links doesnt work where do i download now?

hi, is there a special conversation between Spider-Man and Venom? and nazyfranzy the download link works for me, try it again.

This package work on windows 7??

The official characters pack works on Windows 7

thanks. i download the package but some erros show. i use winrar, is that a problem?

no, it's not a problem, but be sure to install it before installing any other character, and be sure to install the latest official characters pack, that one is much better

where i change the characters? to include for example venom and the others.?

heroselect in the folder "heroselect" and/or edit the herostat manualy

Thank you very much for this fine mod, it helps justify my stubbornly sticking to the pc as the gaming platform of choice. Could you please tell me how to change the default new characters so that the new characters I want are the ones that are used? I want Hulk, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Captain Marvel and Ronin, getting rid of Nick Fury. But whatever I do the default new characters are Hulk, Moonknight, Captain Marvel and Hawkeye. I already edited the cfg file and still nothing. I don't know what to do with hero select since the file path is always wrong, and even when I select the team I want I get the default one.
Thanks again.

Please, don't be in a rush to answer all at once. I figured out the above but I have a new question now.
When I reach the first save point on the Helicarrier all of the characters I put in are immediately available. Shouldn't Hulk and Nightcrawler be unlocked only after you meet them in game? Or are they supposed to be available right away?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Nightcrawler was immediately playable like you have experienced.  However, I thought that Hulk would not unlock until you finished your "assignments" with David Banner.

I have the same problem, i can't get rid of nick fury. I want venom, magneto. but they don't show.

after the extracting this mod for example, how do you swap the other charc. in this mod? i mean theres a herostat manually thing or the xmlbcui thing, how do you do those things?

Hey!I'll download this pack because of Black Widow! Always wanted to play as her! Does she have her Natasha Romanova long hair skin huh?

What about Psylocke!? She's my favourite... do you know if someone has made her Uncanny X-Force colors?

Do you know where to download MUA 1 for PC?  I just have the PS3 version.. but i want t play with those mods!

Yes Widow's main costume is Natasha with long hair.
Psylocke is not in this pack, but she has her own separate mod. She does not have the Uncanny X-Force costume.
This site does not allow or encourage people to download MUA illegally. You could be banned for this. My advice is to buy the game from online such as Amazon or Ebay, as it isn't too expensive and it is the noble thing to do.

Hi folks I just wanted to Thank all the hardworking modders who contributed to this mod,  I was a member here when MUA first came out. But only posted a few times.

Anyways I was puzzling over why  blackwidow's team bonus' didn't work in this mod so I poked around.
I still had Xmlbcui installed and decompiled the team_bonus.xmlb file, Blackwidow's entrys looked OK so I dug around in the data files, I noticed her talents file was called blackwidowv.engb

so I changed all blackwidow entries in team_bonus.xml to  blackwidowv recompiled it and voila all of her team bonus' now work.

I installed  v 1.1 of the mod so maybe you guys fixed it in 1.2

Sorry if this is known information I did a forum search on the subject and found nothing on it and figured since the files came from this mod it would help others.

i cant install it. the heroselect doesnt work properly.

Hi guys can some1 help me i need to know how and what files need backing up thanks

Any chance on an update to this mod incorporating the new sound sets? Or are the sound sets for the restored characters already present? Or maybe finding someone to record dialogue for the Captain Marvel and Hawkeye simulator missions?

I found Hawkeyes simulator disc in the Sanctum Sanctorum even though I didn't pick Hawkeye in hero select so it shouldn't be ingame. Can I fix this myself? Delete a file or something?

It's not a bug or anything like that. You'll find sim discs for most official characters, independant of which characters you've selected. Just don't play the sim mission.

 Hey, could you make separate links to the chars in the pack, please?
    Some of them ain't got powers and black widow is like the default man
there's a lot of missing files  :blackwidow:

no there isnt, this package is complete and all characters work. if you are having issues than you are not installing it correct.

Sorry! I don't know what happens i search for those files and i can't find it  :blink:

wow, those mods are great  :genis:  :blackwidow:  :hawkeye:  :magneto:  :ronin:

hi , just out of intrest is this an "add on" with the game cause i was thinking of adding other mods aswell as just the official characters
many thanks
warmachine :warmachine:

This is pretty much required to install before installing any other characters.

hi!, please help me, i need Next gen Cyplos´s stats... i have cyclops of the next gen pack.... :(

I am having a problem with heroselect. When I have select the characters I want and press Accept Team, this opens up: http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/1253/35589415.png and then when I start the game I only get default characters.
Plz if anyone can help me you can reply and I am using Windows 7  :deadpool: :galactus:

Try going to heroselect/herostat.cfg and change the first line there to the current directory you've got MUA saved to.
If that's not the problem, tell us what happens when you select the default characters, but changing their location in the menu.

I went to heroselect/herostat.cfg and changed the first line to the current directory where I have saved MUA but when I try to edit and save it  It says "Access is denied" 

Try running it in administrator :) -G-

Thanks for the hard work and great mods guys! Really nicely done.

I think I got it installed, but the only issue is that neither Magneto or Sabertooth have any powers. Everyone else works perfectly, so not sure why those two are broken.

hi boys and compliments for the good job. I have unloaded the mod and it is all right everything but the assistant characters don't have powers and the customs they don't have statistics...what must I do??? (PS. I am Italian and I apologize me for the non correct writing)

I guessing you are using the Italian version? If you are you will have to rename the files in the Official Characters package from .ENGB to .ITAB in order for them to work with the italian version.

hey i tried installing the mod and it worked untill i selected a new team and it crashed when i selected night crawler. wat did i do wrong

Hello. I've been lurking for some time now.

I wanted to know how to use just Colossus, Moonknight and Black Widow without having to install the new simulator missions or replacing default characters. I mean, I tried reading through years of stuff, but I couldn't find anything relevant.

I copied only the relevant files (I figured out which was relevant by comparing to one of the single character mods and using common sense, but I could be wrong there as well because this was pretty much the first time I tried modding MUA). I also used XMLBCUI to look into the herostat and charinfo because heroselect crashes on me.

Anyway, I got Colossus and Moonknight to work perfectly, but I cannot get Black Widow to appear unless I replace a default character. When I do replace, whenever I select Black Widow or try to open her details, the game crashes.

Any ideas? I copied the files I think are all relevant to Black widow into a separate folder and can zip it can upload it for someone to check if I am doing it right or I am missing something.

Thanks mates.


EDIT: Nevermind. Fixed it.

Nevermind, Fixed it myself!

hi guys i have a mac and i have mua but i canmod i just dont know how to install this mod what files do i need to back plz make a list im a newbie and i really want nightcrawler or if u can send me magneto,nightcrawler and hulk seperate i would appreciate or plz pst a vid about this mod i want it or can u giv a more specific tutorial like name all the files we back up and what we do pz i would really apreciate that :nightcrawler:

I wish you could release the next-gen version of the mod, which contains 9 default characters including 5 heroes and 4 villians and 2 new characters (Jean Grey, Namor)
I may choose Colossus, Hawkeye, Hulk, Moon Knight, Nightcrawler, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Sabertooth and Venom

Is there a way to get Dr Doom and Cyclops without downloading the whole 'Official Characters' pack? Because i tried to make it work a couple times and i cant seem to find a way to get herostat for any of the characters.

heroselect you have to go, I opened the file herostat.cfg with notepad, there are all herostat ... sorry I do not speak English, but there are all herostat

is this mod available for ps2?

If it was it would've been released for the PS2 in the Consoles section D:

I need help !!!!!!!!!!!
Heroselect not like using, try to do as he says in a tutorial on youtube but I guess I'm doing wrong or the program does not work because I miss a mistake. I thought that would be easier to install mods manually but when I try XMLBC compilarcon the file is not created and I'm desperate for herostat.xmlb to reinstall the game to install this mod and play with the dr. doom, and now is that I can not use.
Are there any other program that can compile the file ???????
or try reinstalling all ????????????
or is there some file to download to fix the heroselect ??????????

Good bye then, we don't need you around here.

hey guys, how do you solve this error that pops up whenever u try to open the heroselect program?

"The Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application"

How does one unlock the 4th costume for these characters? Hulk Captain Marvel and Hawkeye obviously have their comic book missions, but what about the rest? I've tried killing a few hundred enemies, but that didn't seem to do the trick. Don't know if they're unlocked from before hand or something, any reply is appreciated

Hey all, I've had an interesting problem with this.  I just got a new computer (Windows 7) so that I can run MUA, and so I went in to install this pack.  For some reason, the 7 zip extractor won't extract the files onto my computer.  It says that it does, but if you go into the files, you'll see that nothing has been extracted.  Is this a Windows 7 problem or do I need another extractor or something?

Also, if I remember correctly, there used to be an installer for this.  Does that still exist?

hey i have a problem when i add colossus instead of him i get defaultman it used to work fine but a uninstall it a couple weeks ago and now i can't add him  (i didn't get colossus with game)  pleaseeeeee help  :colossus:

Go to  http://www.brothersoft.com/download-izarc-23348.html
Download a program called IZArc, it's another very good unzipping utility.

I'm still browsing through the other threads and pages so forgive me if this has already been brought up.

After downloading the mod, I started a new game and manually selected the characters for all 27 slots. It's worked so far, the characters are all there, their powers are all there.
The problem is, some of their abilities are all mixed up.  :thing:, for example, has no Might and :genis: has no Flight whereas :colossus: has Healing Factor and :fantastic: has Flight

Anyone know what the problem is? Did I miss a step in the installation? Or do the characters have to be assigned in specific spots in heroselect to avoid this bug?

Ok nevermind.
Turns out I changed the roster for a saved game, lol. At least now I know how to give other characters abilities they don't have like Might and Healing Factor  :carnage: (then again, you could do that through herostat)
Though I did notice that  :humant: and  :ghostr: left their flames behind if you changed their positions. Guess I'll leave them in slots 24 and 3.

I am having a problem with heroselect. When I have select the characters I want and press Accept Team, this opens up: http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/1253/35589415.png and then when I start the game I only get default characters.
Plz if anyone can help me you can reply and I am using Windows 7  :deadpool: :galactus:

I have exactly the same problem. I changed the herostat to fit the correct location of the files, and ran heroselect as administrator. Then I created the roster and at the moment of accepting the team, a new window opened with the message that was posted on the quoted screenshot. If I strike any key, that window closes and heroselect shows a "TEAM ASSEMBLED" text. However when I run MUA with a new game I still get the default extra characters  :hulk_icon: :genis: :hawkeye: :moonk:. I did a clean installation of the mod.

btw is there any post with the original menu locations for the unmodded characters? I figured some locations but not the whole 23 heroes ^^

Also I had the same problem when I tried to extract the files with WinRar. I had to extract the files on another folder and then send them to the MUA folder (just in case anybody needs help with that one)

If anyone could help me I'd be really thankful

Peace.

May be a problem with Heroselect. You might therefore want to try manually installing characters to your herostat using XMLBCUI.

Check the file path in herostat.cfg and see if you added an extra \\ at the end of data so it looks like \\data\\ instead of \\data.

my herostat file already had the "\\". I changed the herostat and heroselect gamepath accordingly. I tried both methods listed here http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4886.0.html (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4886.0.html) but nothing came out of it, heroselect is still crashing whenever I hit the assemble team button.

I'm using windows 7 and running heroselect as administrator and with Windows XP compatibility.

I guess I'll have to try the XMLBCUI method

hi guys
i wanted to ask about magneto  :magneto: why that he is so weak his power kindda suck i think!

As I know both has the official powers and stats from the Xbox 360.
In my opinion Magneto is great as he is, it's just like any other character at the first levels, kinda weak but become more powerfull as he gains more levels. In case that you are interested, Nowhere man released a booster for Magneto, here:
http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,3554.msg134763.html#msg134763

And yes, you were rude and the fact that those are your favorite characters doesn't change anything, you can be polite when you ask and/or point something.

itsnot fair :(
doese the booster change or make magneto more powerful? and i tested LVL 99 full skills theres no diffrence more importantly in hard mode doesnt tickle boss
BTW im not such a MUA genius as  U guys i ruind the game three time cuse of changing or adding charecters so i afraid to cahnge anything else like magneto talent dont work at all exept flying :(
i wished U felt me that my brother mock me , the game is more like a challenage beetween us

The booster adds some files and you dont have to start a new game or modify your current roster. It makes Magneto more balanced on his defensive powers and adds more damage to his shockwaves.

PS: compatible with the OC Pack Magneto, not Dark_Mark's newer version.

Really? but in his workbench he posted that his newer version is fully compatible with the OC pack 1.2

his is. but he changed the skeleton entries, so my alterations of the melee moves won't work. though you can still use the booster but replace only the powerstyle and talent.

I install the package but there aren't cyclops and some charecters. I use heroselect but it isn't work -_-

Sorry for my stupidly message, I find it :D

I have a problem. I download the official chars and put all files..then, when i run the game i have pre-installed Moon Knight,Hawkeye, Colossus e a character in black ( Hulk? ) , but when  i choose one character pre-installed i can't use the powers of the characters...help?

I've also do a screen

Hey everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with the mod. I downloaded 7z and the mod, but when I use 7z to extract the mod file I always get 3 errors:

I'm having the very same problem, i tried the XMLBCUI before and didn't work (have used before in XML2 and worked) then i tried the HeroSelect tool, but isn't working too (with right paths menulocations).. is there any solution for this? it still shows the default characters.

EDIT: problems solved. Solution: downloading from a link in which i don't install the game to play.

Is it possible to make any added Character being part of a team bonus like "X-men" for  :rogue:  :beast:  :kittyp:  :jubilee:  :emmafrost:  :psylocke:  :gambit:  :phoenix: and etc ????

Yes, you can edit the team_bonus.engb file found in the data folder.  There is a limit of 8 characters that can be on the team.

Thanks very much :D !!!! One more question, How you guys make the character skills? is it a program? is there a Guide? i searched in forum and didin't find any guide for this. :/  what i wanted to do is add Lockheed to Kitty Pryde, and change a little kitty skills to look less like Deadpool, that's what you call a booster right? xD

So i wanted to make a Lockheed, can someone help ?


ideias:
For lookheed i don't know if i can make a pet following her all the time, in the case i can't, maybe some animation of him coming flying and use a firebreath like humantorch ones, and maybe another skill in which lockheed stays in place shooting fireballs like Jean Grey's mini-phoenix. And maybe a singular ultimate with lockheed and Shadowcat.

and  i'd like to change some skills of her, like adding a gun shot skill isntead of throwing a sai, modfting the sword skills, and even erase some.

and modify too some passives, like putting something like a Reflexive Phase (+High% of dodge, 10% first level and increase +5% each level: total: 50%, yeah looks too much but makes sense :/)  (cause i read on marvelcomic site that she had trained herself to reflexive phase in danger situation).

 

Thats quite alot :) i dont think it will be able to stay with kitty but you could to the mini phoenix thing and change the model to lockhart :) hope this helps:)

As far as people having problems I found a fix for mine. Nothing that technical. I had the problem with the one screen popping up and having only the characters in the official pack. The file path seemed correct except a - between Marvel and Ultimate. I didn't notice that before. Also the hero cfg file had the same problem. Now everything works. I hope this helps somebody.

I have a problem. I do swapping in Hero Select, but afterwards my save file refuses to run. I don't want to start a new game each time I do swapping.

I believe you're supposed to start a new game each time you replace someone.

What Ultimate Legend says is true.  You use HeroSelect to choose the 27 characters you want to play with.  Once you start the game, though, those are the one's you're stuck with for the duration of the game.  Choose carefully.

Ok, then another question.
Why all characters are available from beginning? I have seen somewhere, that Hulk unlocked once you beat MODOK in the mode, but he is in from beginning. Once you choose Blade, Ghost Rider etc - they are already unlocked. I am not saying it's bad, but.. I'd like to unlock characters by myself. It will be more cool If Nightcrawler is available after Mephisto's Realm mission etc.

Rey, I think you have to go to the folder on your C: drive called:

My Documents/Activition/Marvel Ultimate Alliance/Save

In there, look for the settings.dat file.  Either delete it or rename it to something like Xsettings.dat.  When you restart the game, a new settings.dat file will be created that has locked characters.

Thanks, It's working!
This may be off topic, but can someone name default Character location numbers in HeroSelect? I want to put most of charters in their default places, but have not yet succeeded in this.

If by chance you saved the original herostat.cfg file when you downloaded the Official Characters MOD, the original menu location will be in each individual character's herostat.  IF you didn't, this is the list.

Hawkeye - 2
Black Panther - 10
Blade - 8
Captain America - 6
Daredevil - 4
Deadpool - 11
Dr. Strange - 96
Elektra - 9
Ghost Rider - 3
Human Torch - 24
Iceman - 19
Invisible Woman - 15
Luke Cage - 18
Silver Surfer - 13
Iron Man - 17
Moon Knight - 25
Mr. Fantastic - 21
Nick Fury - 20
Spider-Man - 16
Spider-Woman - 12
Storm - 14
Thing - 23
Thor - 5
Ms. Marvel - 1
Wolverine - 7
Hulk - 22
Captain Marvel - 26

Personally, I keep a spreadsheet with their menu locations just to keep it straight.  That way, if I want to replace a character, I can plug them into the menu location of a similar sized character.  EX - Cable in Luke Cage's spot or Magneto is Captain Marvel's

Hope this helps.

The spreadsheet is a good idea!  Thanks for this list too.

first off i wanted to thank everyone who posted on this thread, really helped me install the mod without too much hassle and it is awesome but i was wondering if all the "official" characters are actual rips from the console versions or if they were created from scratch because i saw that the hulk and black widows default skins don't really match up from the 360 or psp versions.  it could just be me. sorry if it's an ignorant question, kinda new :/ just wanted to know if they are actual official characters or not

Hey guys. So I played MUA on and off and ever since I watched the Avengers movie, I decided to play MUA again on my PC.
My question is, is there a way to mod MUA located on a different hard drive?
All of my games are located in drive D because I reformat my computer every 3 months.
I tried modding it but the HeroSelect says the location is "C: Activision/Marvel Ultimate Alliance" but it's on drive D.

inside the heroselect folder rename the path in the first line of herostat.cfg from C to D. then, after selecting your team, do the same with heroselect.

Hey guys I recently bought the pc version of ultimate alliance as well as the mod file.  My problem lies in trying to do my hero select choosing my characters.  I read the instructions but I still remain iffy on them.  I backed up all files in a separate folder before extracting the mod file but I am confused am I suppose to copy them back afterwards?  Also when I go to heroselect what exactly do I need to do to heroconfig?  If I try running the hero select app I can choose the characters but when I click the button to select my team I get an error and it won't run.  Something about binary?  If anyone can help me out with this I would really appreciate it and thanks in advance.

Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to install this particular set of mods - I do the HeroSelect things but I'm met with an error each time I try - The NRCompiler pops up each time I click 'Assemble Team' and tells me 'Error: Input file could not be opened'. Anyone know why this is happening? I can start the game with the default set of characters (hawkeye etc) but am having no luck going past that.

I think it will probably have something to do with me installing the game onto the D drive of my computer but I don't see where I'm going wrong.

Perhaps if you post the contents of your herostat file here, we can take a look for you?

I got a couple of noob questions:

1) How do I obtain the 4th outfit of Nightcrawler? I tried the 250 kills and nada.
2) Is there a method to remove the flames left behind from Ghost Rider and The Human Torch? I put Magneto in The Human Torch spot and he looked funny with flames.

Thanks I checked the herostat file and the problem seemed to originate from there - it had the default file path which was obviously wrong. Silly I missed something so simple.

I have another question though - I put all the modded characters into my game and then deleted my settings file so I would unlock characters gradually - Will I have problems with my modded characters? Do they unlock in the same way? Hawkeye/Cyclops/Magneto were available to me from the start of the game but chracters like black-widow, Hulk, Nightcrawler etc are all locked - will I unlock them as I progress?

I think you should be okay. If they don't show up by the time you want them, you can always just use a cheat code.

Hello, first thanks for this great mod!

But now I have to change my computer.

Savegames obviously but what else?

My suggestion would be to go to Program Files and backup the entire Marvel Ultimate Alliance folder. Then, once you reinstall the game on the new PC, overwrite the files in Program Files with the backup, to keep your mods.

Hello, I'm new here, and was hoping somebody might be able to help me out...

I've been trying to use the characters from the OC pack, and I've been able to get it to work to a certain extent.  However, I am encountering a problem that it seems many others have also had: When I start the game, I have the default roster plus Hawkeye, Hulk, Moonknihgt, Captain Marvel and maybe a couple others, but none of the characters that I really want to use (Venom, Colossus, Nightcrawler etc.).

I have read through the readme pdf included with the pack and followed its instructions without any luck.  Also, I've read through the comments posted on this site to see if a solution was provided by anyone else who had the same problem.  I noticed that several people had the same problem, but found no fix. 

Any help provided would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Read the roster selection part of this guide and it should solve your problems:
http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4886.0.html

@Nowhere Man

Neither option 1 nor 2 solved the problem.  Any other ideas/suggestions?

By the way, it's a nice guide it just didn't work for me.

If you don't run your computer as admin, heroselect won't work.

Hmmm... I'll give it a whirl.

Progress!  I ran Heroselect as administrator.  Which allowed the roster of characters I chose to be "available."  Meaning that their names were present in the slot assigned to them, but the characters themselves were not showing up.  Also, I tried adding one of the non-visible characters to my team which crashed the game.  I seem to remember reading something about this kind of problem, but I don't remember where...  Do you know how to fix this issue?

Any ideas?

@Stark Industries

Have you checked the herostat.cgf in the "herostat" folder???The first line indicates the location of your "data" folder...so make sure that it is correct and then check again.....

@V4Vendetta

Herostat.cgf is in the heroselect folder, not a "hereostat" folder.  And the first line ( c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data\\ ) is definitely correct.

@Stark Industries

Sorry for the mistake....If you cannot change your roster with Heroselect why don't you try to change the herostat in the "data" folder with XMLBCUI???

P.S. I think you should erase the "(x86)" and try again

@V4Vendetta

I tried XMLBCUI and couldn't get it to work properly...  Besides, I made some progress with Heroselect.  There's got to be a simple fix to get the characters to show up.

And the (x86) is definitely necessary.

@Stark Industries

If you think so..... :)
I just suggested some possible solutions...

Maybe he needs to capitalize the "c:" in the directory line?

I tried changing the case of the letter C.  It didn't make a difference.

Can you post the contents of your herostat.cfg file here? Maybe one of us can take a look for you and see what's going on.

The contents of my herostat.cfg would exceed the maximum allowed length of a post, so here's link to it's contents:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BhvLcLq6Noe74vNMinLBV6sdH7Rn2URXtWOX8iiCkmc/edit

The problem could be the order of your characters. At the big list at the top, try moving the characters you like above the characters that are showing up properly.

Then start up the heroselect program, once you've saved the cfg file. Under selection options, set it to default. Then just hit accept team. Then run MUA as usual.

Well that is what I've been doing...  I guess I could try changing the order again.

Your herostat.cfg looks fine otherwise... I've never seen this issue before.

I just tried changing the order again, and I'm still having the problem with characters that don't show up and cause the game to crash when you add them to your team.  Is there a certain order the characters have to be in?  In herostat.cfg do the list of characters have to be ordered by menu location?  If the problem isn't in heroselect.cfg what else could it be?

No, I don't think the order actually matches it. But you said they're in the game, just not visible, so it's not the order...

Try downloading the OC Pack again and reinstalling it. You might have had a bad download or something.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, uninstalled, deleted, redownloaded and reinstalled the OC Pack, and tried both options 1 and 2 (as stated in this guide: http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4886.0.html) without any luck.  I guess I'll give XMLBCUI another try and if that doesn't work I give up... how disappointing.  I really was looking forward to enjoying this great mod.

@ Stark Industries,

I know it's got to be disappointing not getting Heroselect to work.  The only problem I have (and continue to have) is that the game won't start using the Launch button.  I wish I could help you get it working on your computer.  I keep reading through the things you have tried, but haven't figured out a solution yet.

For clarification, let me ask:
1.  What is your operating system?
2.  Have you added any characters to your game besides the Official Characters pack?

@Fox456

1) I use Windows 7
2) I just added War Machine yesterday via XMLBCUI & heroselct (although he's a bit bugged).  That's the only other mod I've tried.

I know that some people have trouble with Windows 7.  (I use Windows XP).  I'm not sure if that is the problem or not.

I know you've reinstalled everything already and that didn't work.  After you installed the Official Characters Pack, did you immediately try to see if Heroselect was working before making any changes to your line up?

Hopefully Windows 7 isn't the problem, and if it is, I would like to figure out a work-around that doesn't involve changing my operating system.

I tried using heroselect before making any changes, and was able to get the default/preinstalled characters (moonknight, captain marvel etc.) to work.  The problem is getting the ones that aren't preset (like nightcrawler and venom) to work.

Dang man that sucks. I remember I had a problem with the heroselect.exe and all I did to make it work was delete the line symbol next to the zero between the words Marvel and Ultimate. 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Windows 7 is not the issue as I've successfully run multiple mods for MUA in both a 32 and 64 bit environment.  That said, the User Account Control (UAC) feature that is implemented in Vista and 7 can present some unique challenges if you aren't prepared for it. 

1) When using  XMLBCUI, always right click on the executable and select "Run as Administrator".  Otherwise the program does not run correctly

2)  Make sure that your user account has full write access to the MUA folder in the Program Files  See my response in http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,8031.0.html for instructions on how to ensure this.

I hope this helps in some small way.  I would encourage you to keep trying.  These mods are hella cool and I would hate for you to miss out on them.

@AskaniSon

I made those security changes you suggested, but I still cant get the characters I want via heroselect.

Okay, this might be a long shot, but I suggest using this on the Marvel Ultimate Alliance folder that you have in the Program Files. First do this:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/

Then right-click on the Activision folder and hit Take Ownership. Then do that on the folder you have heroselect in. I hope this works.

Sir,I'm sorry to bother you,but I'm afraid that you 've deleted the resourse.I can't download your MOD.

The media fire link is working fine or me. But rapid share is not working. Did you try mediafire?

Well,you know the internet in China,they've blocked almost everything.
It's a miracle that I'm here mocking. And also I've tried many way to break it.But it seems in vain.
Sorry,my English is awful,I wish you could get it.

@ Fansinchina:

Glad you are able to be with us here at the forum!  Your English is fine too.

Thanks.But I don't know how to break the blockade.
So,may I ask for a embarrassed request?
Would you please e-mail that MOD to my mailbox？I'm so sorry to bother you but I don't know what else can i do.
www.mcjordanyu@163.com,that's the address.
I'll appreciate it very much.

Could you download it from box.net if I get it uploaded there?  (The attachment is too big for my e-mail).

Oh,yeah,it is ok for my computer.
Thank you so much,well.I don't know what to say.I don't know your culture.
Well,may God bless you!

OK, I am uploading it now.  I will send you a link when it is finished.

Well,I have to say,you are an excellent manager.

Thanks!  ;)

I sent the link to your e-mail.

Well, I guess it will take some time.It's "early"in China,I'm going to go to bed,so,good afternoon,Sir.

I have to get offline too, but I did send the link to your e-mail address.  Just in case, I'll send you a PM here with the link as well.

You are considerate.But I've received that.Thank you again,Cap.
I'm sorry but we have to disassemble.See ya.

Realy Great Progress darkmark....I am looking forward to more of ur releases....

Is there a way to install only Cyclops with this mod? I'm currently using that Moon Knight and Colossus mod, and i was wondering if i can do the same with Cyke. I really don't want to use HeroSelect. Thanks!

Both download links seem to be broken. Could somene please fix it?

Anyone willing to re upload the file somewhere?

Probably not unfortunately. Are you having any trouble with heroselect? (I was too, don't worry. I have to go in through my command prompt and do a whole process to swap characters)

There's like...One right above your post.... xD

Holy Chocolate egg that's true! Thanks man, you are a genius! Or I was really high back then.

Is it possible to get it in a RAR file or something? My computer won't open that one :)

Did you download winrar and selected it to open all files? Cause Zip shouldn't be a problem for winrar

Ahah, turns out I didn't have open Zip files as an option ^^' wow, now I feel dumb. Thanks a bunch!

the links arent working for me

Did you try the one on the previous page/quote on this page? It seems to be working for me...

yup that works, kepping as backup for future...

these are great !

great job guys !

For future reference, there's now a thread with more links to resources in case the originals go down, like the OC pack did here:

Imagine if Activision announced to re-release X-Men Legends (remastered) & Marvel Ultimate Alliance series for PSN (PS4, PS3, PSP, PSVita [$40 (PS+: FREE)]), LIVE (Xbox 360 [4000 MS pt], PC/Windows), Steam, Nintendo (Wii, Wii U, 3DS) with Title Update Version 3 that features all system exclusive stuffs (such as characters, missions/simulations, easter eggs dialogue) appeared in all versions after recently renewed a contract with Marvel & Disney until onwards than 2017, also if VVisions announced to release Alchemy's latest version is to increase Mod Community like the way how Capcom does on SF4, DMC & RE

Just, imagine.

That would be fantastic!

Hi DeeDooo:  Wont happen again

I'm having a stupid problem with hero select: Its not working. Used to, Not Anymore.

I bought a new pc with a new operating system to replace my old winXP, i've made backups of all my important files including MUA, so i wouldn't have to mod it all over again, now i'm trying to simply change the hero selection because i want to play with other characters, but doesn't work, the heroselect says "team assembled" i run the game and the team doesn't change at all.

i could really appreciate a solution for this annoying problem.

Any ideas?


NOTE: yes i dont recall making a "'clean install" but the game runs smoothly being launched from the folder, if a install in the system is necessary can i, after finishing the install simply paste all the old files on the folder or will i have to install all the characters all over again?

well you should do a clean install; other than that make sure you have the correct path of the game listed in the herostat

Quoteother than that make sure you have the correct path of the game listed in the herostat

Can you explain this better? i mean i do specified the path of the data folder in the herostat by opening but  doesn't work.

Quote from: M@pple on May 18, 2013, 03:49PM

open herostat.cfg in the heroselect folder and make sure it references the data folder correctly. Is the drive letter correct? are the spaces correctly placed? etc

I do believe they are correct, i've tried to install the game clean on the C directory then i installed the heroselect mod, tried to config the heroes but i came up short, i believe that it wont work properly on the "C" directory because of that "administrator/user" bullshit, so i'm going to make a clean install somewhere else and see if it works.

Also, why the links to the official characters pack are offline?

-Edit-
Ok my report about my attempt to start a clean install then  copy-paste all the files to the folder: was a complete disaster,just like on the other non installed folder the heroselect doesnt change the characters like i  want, i 'ive already specified the path on the herostat.cfg but things dont change,im being forced to use an modified version of the official characters mod because the mod here is offline and i cant find nowhere else, boosts and skins will be installed into the game normally but characters won't its like the charaselect is trying to change a file that doesnt exist or some other config file is pointing at somewhere else.

i really wish i could fix this thing.

-Edit-

Ok people, after trying a lot of stuff i decided to READ the manual for the heroselect and i "discovered" the error in my part, in the herostat.cfg the data path must be written with TWO SLASHES instead of one, after i fixed this, the problem stopped,
well i've also found  the Official Characters pack in a zip ttally "vanilla", if needed, i can be the one to reupload it, thank god i like to save important files like this somewhere, you never know when useful things are going to get offline.

i'm glad you figured it out by reading the manual, we did tell you to watch for the correct path in the herostat.cfg; happy gaming

Quotei'm glad you figured it out by reading the manual, we did tell you to watch for the correct path in the herostat.cfg; happy gaming

Another thing that i believe i should note to anyone who's having trouble making a character mod work on the game, if you dont do this right the characters not just won't be there to be selected but the game will generate "clones" of another character to fill in the "gaps":

Quotedefaultman
   stats {
   autospend = support_heavy ;
   body = 1 ;
   characteranims = 00_testguy ;
   charactername = defaultman ;
   level = 1 ;
   menulocation = 0 ;
   mind = 1 ;
   name = default ;
   skin = 0002 ;
   strength = 1 ;
   team = enemy ;
      talent {
      level = 1 ;
      name = fightstyle_default ;
      }

   }

note that the all the entries are niveled, is one below the other as it should be, never allow it to be different like this:

Quotedefaultman
  stats {  <<<<<< this
   autospend = support_heavy ;
   body = 1 ;
   characteranims = 00_testguy ;
   charactername = defaultman ;
   level = 1 ;
   menulocation = 0 ;
   mind = 1 ;
   name = default ;
   skin = 0002 ;
   strength = 1 ;
   team = enemy ;
      talent {
      level = 1 ;
      name = fightstyle_default ;
      }

   }

or the character won't work, i know its a very simple thing, but just this small detail can have an huge impact. i mean i know most of guys here do already know that, but i've made too newbie mistakes today so i'ts better to let them get  know, someone could be having the same problem that i had.

will you guys fix the link for the official characters? Not complaining or anything, just asking, if needed i can reupload with the rar. file i have here.

Can anyone upload it again? I've noticed that I still have the Official Characters Beta3, don't know if there are major updates but I'd like to check it out.

Thanx.

I tried to download this mod but when I tried to extract the files in Marvel Ultimate Alliance, there were like 1000 errors saying that the files could not be opened. I have 7-zip. I don't understand how this had happened. I downloaded this mod a few years ago and was able to play it but i don't get why I can't extract the files.

Try the self-extracting archive: http://www.sendspace.com/file/8alr2c (http://www.sendspace.com/file/8alr2c)

So I managed to get all the files that I need. However I am currently having a problem with herostat.cfg. I am trying to change the link at the top so that it matches the path to the data file in MUA.
This is the link I'm taking about:
c:\\Program Files\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data\\

In my case, the folder "Activision" was in was called "Program Files (x86)". However when I try to save the changes I made to the path, a message pops up that says the following:

Cannot create the C:Program Files (x86)\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\OfficialChars_1.3\heroslect.cfg file.

Make sure that the path and file name are correct.


When I try to adjust the path to C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\data\herostat.cfg, this message pops up:

You don't have permission to save in this location.
Contact the administrator to obtain permission.


What should I do?

So here is where I am at:

1.) I changed the path in herostat.cfg file
2.) I changed the path in the lower right corner of HeroSelect
3.) I pasted the files from OfficialChars_1.3\ui\menus to the menu folder under MUA

I basically did the same stuff I did when I ran into these problems. However, the NRCompiler pops up after I try to get it to accept the team I built in HeroSelect saying that the files can't open. Right now I'm stuck

So I got the paths right but when I add the new characters, the only characters I can play are colossus and moon knight but I can't use their powers or even melee attacks. At the character select screen, all other new characters that are added cannot be seen on the screen and if I select them to play the game crashes. I did all the stuff I stated previously but I don't know what else to do right now.

Hey guys,i've just installed the patch and it works,i think,but,as it's said in the patch's description,i see the default installed characters,all except hulk.Maybe he needs to be unlocked?Really thanks,by the way,the patch is awesome!

I would like to update my version 2.6 for this 3.6 but i think its gonna create more trouble than its worh on an already modded game, what you guys think? should i install it?

Just install it, there's no risk involved for as far as I know

You guys won't believe what i just found now:

I have a problem with heroselect. When I have selected which characters I want and press Accept Team, this opens up: http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/1253/35589415.png and then when I start the game the default characters are still there.

I have the same problem now :( i did a clean install

I might have an answer for the question with this kind of problem

(http://oi39.tinypic.com/4juxi9.jpg)

The thing is simple, reinstall the game (painful task, I know) and make sure you install the game in the original folder it should be (Program Files\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance)

*Note: If you have a portable version just create the folders and send the installed (or decompressed) files to the Marvel - Ultimate Alliance folder  (in case you have the files into another folder just change the name for Marvel - Ultimate Alliance and replace the folder with the same name)

Then follow the steps to install the mods. Hope I could help.

Hi, I'm having trouble with cyclops' Optic Stream power. When I change his damage output by using XMLBCUI with the files in the talent folder, it doesn't reflect in-game. I set his level 1 damage as 1-2, but in the game, it still does the same damage as the default settings(16-17). I've also noticed this issue with other powers that involve holding down the button, such as Torch's flamethrower and Havok's copy cat ability.

Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix this?

do u guys know how to play this mod in my ps2 console? plss i really want to play this game..but my pc cant handle it so i was hoping if u could tell me how to download this so it would be playable for my ps2

:| Wait. Did i missed something?

I don't know if its just me but i downloaded and installed the new Official Characters and the games seems to have slight pauses every so often like it gets stuck.
Sorry but that is the only way i can describe it.
Any thoughts on why this might be would be appreciated
P Day

Is it with every character or with specific characters?

Hi I thought i solved the problem with the game pausing and not running smoothly by turning off the caps lock, but no something is wrong when i downloaded 1.3.
I will try downloading 1.2 instead to see if that works.If anyone knows why it keeps pausing it would be good to know.

Hey guys. Downloaded the recent release a couple weeks ago and I noticed that when I use Cyclops' Rapid-tap optic blast power, the beams aren't appearing. He's shooting invisible streams. :/

Any ideas on how to fix that?

Right, well I figured out that it was because his Ricochet Blast entity is absent from his entities file. And the one in there is for a power he doesn't have...

Is the "cyclops_pylon" entity supposed to be the Ricochet blast enitity? Or is the ricochet enitity just completely absent? And how can I go about getting the entity code for it?

Mod's been working great for me, so have a moment of thanks; I can't imagine how much work it must have been to convert all those files for PC and then work out the bugs. Noticed a few points, though - just little things, more story than gameplay, but maybe it's worth a look at? I'm not sure if it's just me, or if it's 1.3 for everyone, but neither  :cyclops: nor  :nightcrawler: triggers any dialogue with  :phoenix: during Murderworld like in the Xbox; again, I don't know if I missed something, or if the lines weren't converted. Also, some of  :venom: 's dialogue differs between the audio we hear and the text in the box (I remember he referred to himself in the plural - "we" - while talking to  :rhino: in the text box, but speaks in singular - "I" - in the audio.

It's hardly vital, and probably already noted before I mention it, but it's slightly head-tilting if one is trying to discover all the conversations.

I think it has something to do with glitches that happened due to the amount of convos there.

Hurm... maybe. But I thought it was only a problem with localised versions of the game, which mine isn't. No great loss to gameplay, though; just leaves me wondering what Cyke would've said to Jean. Which reminds me - the only other unique dialogue Cyclops has (with Dark Cyclops) is also text-only, without audio. Again, not exactly a vital part that's missing, but it certainly raised eyebrows when I was taking Cyke for a playthrough.

 :scratchhead: What if we replaced Magneto one with Cyc/Night on the connversation script, will it work?

:( Oh BTW, i prefer using Sabretooth's spot, in replacing either Dr. Doom's or Nightcrawler's spots, it may work.

EDIT: I forgot to mentioned for those who didn't know (especially for rookies) that Thor & Storm's complete sounds are included in whiteking's topic (kinda of if i'm not wrong), Cates released FF/F4 couples' (y'know who?) New Marvel hud

Nice mod! I Was trying to search for Colossus and Moon Knight! But great mod! Nice job team! Wish you had the time to update it!

:tmaster:

Who made the awesome  :magneto: Xorn skin?

Is Heroselect working properly it doesn't seem to be working

Could you guys check and tell me why my Master of Magnetism  :magneto: ain't flying? :(

I mean sure he floats above ground all the time but double jump ain't making him fly :( I installed the chars ok and got everything working. Just Magneto somehow ain't working properly (or might be it was intended so that he could not fly?). Doom flies around just fine why not Magnet??? :(

Please, help me figure this out guys! Thanks a bunch!

Did you start a new game after putting him in the herostat?

I certainly did not! I think it must be it :) Will try to restart the game.
Thank you very much for such a quick reply!

I can't get the mod to download, from either link :(

Please note, I have turned off add blocker, and tried this in both Firefox & Chrome and had the same result each time.

It's an old version, I think, but already helps

Oh awesome! The 1.3 one was linked there too <3 Thanks so much!

Though I still hope the OP is able to fix the links for other folks who have the same issue I did...

I decided to get back to MUA for the first time in a year and the mod is still as amazing as I remember. This may be a stupid question, but besides some of the costumes, are there any differences between the modded characters and their original incarnations (e.g. damage output, different moves, etc)?

This pack has every powerstyle/talent copied from their original incarnation. All other mods not in this pack are different in damage, moves, talents etc

The stuff for 1.3.7z does not work...

Thanks i got it working.

Can you guys fix Magneto only dealing 1 damage on every power when you add ranks to Magnetic Damage passive in the next patch of OC pack?

I doubt it will get patched again. We haven't worked on it in ages.

I got Ronin's sims with me. Will be uploaded next week.

EDIT: Let's just wait for an emulator for Xbox 360 & PS3 finalised next year in some months

TC-Sensei, Have you received my PM about Widow's sims test?

Can someone help me? I installed my mods and launched heroselect but my mods are'nt showing up. What's wrong?

Check this :http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4555.0.html (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4555.0.html)

I have a problem when I select the characters form hero select and lauch the game with the "Lauch MUA" button  it works but when I lauch the game from the desktop the default characters show up ...
Can anyone help me?

Well I don't know ...
Did you start a new play ?
It's very important if you change anything in the game .

Yes, I started a new play ...

Ok. So if you did everything in the same way like this guide : http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4555.0.html (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,4555.0.html), it must work.But if its still not,  you have to write your settings step by step.

ok, so where I can find the decompiler ??

In this case you don't need the "decomplier" (XMLBCUI).
Install the OCP to the MUA main library ( backup your original files).
Open Heroselect than select the characters,chosse a slot for each one.After you done with this klick to accept team.
If you want to play with the 27 fellows  you must have to add 2 extra characters to the officials.
Download the mod. Extract it.Copy the files to the MUA main library, than edit the herostat.cfg file with notepad++ or another file editor.
After this procedure you have to able to use 27 characters and have the option to choose the default box in HeroSelect.

ok, I finded the issue one character in the herostat.cfg was configured to spot 6 instead of a general spot XXXX .
Howewer some caracters can't fly ...

Well just start a new game. I had the same problem when I  changed skins in the  game.

Hey Thank you !!!! , now it works perfectly fine !!!
Thanks for being patient!!!

You're welcome  ;)

If you want to change into another empty slots (which are actually another DLC spots, other than 96 & 26), you'll might download my charsel menu fixes, download hex editor & use xmlbcui, although it still 27 MAX slots since there's no news to exceed it

When you add characters and  used the Accept Team option sometimes its pass that HeroSelect isn' work correctly. Check the  herostat.engb file with a file editor. If the file contains datas about the characters that you added everything is ok, you can run the game.
But if there aren't... well in this case something turned out wrong and the game will crash.
In this case I used to choose the Deffault option in HeroSelect and start the adding process afresh. 

Guys I am really having a problem with this mod two years ago I magically installed this mod and now when I try to install and add all the extra characters through HeroSelect only the normal heroes show up I have read the previous posts and I try to do the same but still nothing works  :toad: :toad: :blackshake:

Everything is ok now I had to download an older version of Notepad++

no double post plz, unless it's already a different days/months/years

Hey, I'm havnig a Error that says "Input files could not be opened". I'm running the game in Windows 10 right now, dunno if it can be the cause.

Please help, this is something I wanted since years ago.

Try Run Compatibility or/& Set 256 color thing. The setting work on the previous Windows gamds, such as XML2

Oh BTW. If you're a Windows 8/8.1 - onwards user, you can play xenia there, like MUAGE, and can port the models. Unless it needs a requirement first as of in xenia.jp, like the latest graphic cards & emulator builds

Here you go. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxbrAFHf6NMidW1qTlk4dXVjaGs/view?usp=sharing

This is a clean release of Marvel Ultimate Alliance Modpack 1.3

I promise you there is no malware that's attached to this one, and the password for the "other" release in Spanish was  "http://rafaron-zone.blogspot.mx/"

**ACQUISITION**
This file was liberated from the Spanish, extracted, and recompiled into a new .rar file. There should be a foreign visual basic file named "RafaroNZonE.vbs" -- I do not know what it does but I'm pretty sure it's not essential to the installation process.

Did anyone ever mod in a way to save both Jean and Nightcrawler without needing Magneto? I was just curious before I removed him from my roster. I'm probably going to either way but having the option to still feel heroic would be cool.

I dunno but I guess you could write a script or something to make the game think it is saving them both ---- I'm not sure tho

Could someone PLEASE upload heroselect? Every download I've found for this mod either doesn't have it or DOES have a virus. I'd really appreciate it!

I really want to use this mod but I have a really annoying problem with the heroselect.exe. I made sure all the file paths are correct but when I select my characters and click "Launch MUA" the game doesn't start, the heroselect window disappears but then nothing starts up!

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me?

I understand I'm coming into this games modding community a little late and there's not many people online in these forums, but if somebody can help  I would greatly appreciate it.

That's happened to me a few times.  Check to see if the modified roster is still there after you start the game manually.  I've had heroselect make the changes, but sometimes not start the game.  When that happens, at least for me, the changes are still in place when I open the game normally.

*Even though this wouldn't affect it, before testing what I said above, make sure to delete your settings.dat file from the MUA folder under "Documents" or "My Documents."

Thank you this method worked! I don't think I can switch characters mid-game though can I?

When I try to reload my save after changing my heroes around the game just crashes unless I start a new game.

If you mean there's no way to switch characters through hero select mid-game, you're correct.  As soon as you make your team of 27 characters, that's who you're stuck with for that game.

If it's crashing when you try to change your team at a SHIELD extraction point, then something else could be wrong.

I'm having a problem with this mod. The mechanics of it work fine, but the copy of the mod I was able to download (provided by Kazansky on page 48) does not have the Heroselect folder at all. Can anyone provide a way to download either the necessary files or a copy of the mod that has Heroselect?

Anyone have a link for this that ISN'T an exe? I thought it was supposed to be a 7z but when I download it, it becomes an exe. Anyone got another link?

Here's a link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/07c8h2ov9130h8n/Offical+Characters.rar

I just downloaded this mod, as it seemed like something I'd been looking for for a while now (the ability to play the console DLC characters on PC). However, the mod comes with a few strange nonstandard default character options. This wouldn't be so bad, but there seems to be a bug with Heroselect that, when loading the default options, does not populate the menu positions of the characters in the GUI.

This means that when you want to swap out a single character from a set (or, if you're like me, you want the default characterset plus one or two more) you have to manually repopulate the entire menu from screencaps of the ingame unmodded menu.

Here are some images of the behavior I'm getting. This first one shows the "Default" option, and how it does not allow you to actually view what it is setting.
http://i.imgur.com/7leb0oq.png

The second image shows the "Select" option, and how it requires population of the list from scratch.
http://i.imgur.com/IWUXfJo.png

I'm sure I've simply missed an option somewhere.

Send me a private message when you can and i'll try to work with you. Hitting the default button will not display any of the characters being placed in (not anywhere visible within the heroselect tool, that is).

When you first install the OC1.3 mod you will have Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Hulk and Moon Knight as the default 'extra' characters. To swap them out, you will have to manually select every character you want individually using the 'select' option.

To make sure everyone is placed in a decent position, you may want to refer to this list of the default hero placement:

1 ms marvel
2 hawkeye
3 Ghost Rider
4 Daredevil
5 Thor
6 Captain America
7 Wolverine
8 Blade
9 Elektra
10 Black Panther
11 Dead Pool
12 Spider Woman
13 Silver Surfer
14 Storm
15 Invis Woman
16 Spiderman
17 Iron Man
18 Luke Cage
19 Iceman
20 Nick Fury
21 Mr Fantastic
22 Hulk
23 Thing
24 Human Torch
25 Moon Knight
26 Captain Marvel
27  (96) Dr Strange

Can someone help me out? I'm trying to use heroselect but I keep ending up with the default characters.

Odd question maybe, but can someone perhaps update the first post with a link that isn't to one of these exe. files that downloads additional programs etc. on your comp? Just a normal link with the zip file?

I've got that same input error that people have had before. Has there been a solution for that yet?

Edit: Here's a screencap

http://i.imgur.com/6uCszt4.png

i think this is related with the local on your herostat, check it. this is how mine is:
C:\\Program Files\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data\\
even the "C" should be spelled correct, cometimes is a "c"

Holy gee, didn't even catch that.

Thanks, friendo.

But should I connect it to my Data folder? This is the current location to my copy.
D:\Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Ehhh... something weird happened. All the characters disappeared from the character select screen, when I started a new game the standard four had their entire movelist available, they weren't emitting any dialogue, and they could gain momentum. Probably got the pathing wrong, here's what I put in:
D:\\Marvel Ultimate Alliance\\data\\

That leads directly to my data folder, unless I screwed something up (which I most definitely did).

Edit 2: Kinda got it to work. Captain America will always spawn with all his special abilities unlocked, and characters' models won't always show up in the character select, but they're always selectable. The only issue I have is with using Falcon, a modded character I downloaded. He just won't appear period.

You don't want to point heroselect at your data folder.  If I remember correctly, both that and herostat.cfg need to point to mua.exe, i.e. d:\\marvel ultimate alliance\\mua.exe for herostat.cfg and d:\marvel ultimate alliance\mua.exe for heroselect itself.

To get Heroselect work properly , you have to move all the files inside the Heroselect folder, to the next direction : C:( or the location of MUA )\\ Marvel Ultimate Alliance \\ Ui \\ Menus
Another thing, you have to add two separate mod to Heroselect ( which isn't in the OCP ) before you can use the select option on it.

I've done all this, and now things have only kinda changed. Installed a Goku mod alongside Falcon, put both into the herostat and heroselect properly and it gave me the input error message. So I changed the shortcut to this:
http://imgur.com/MmfsEsG

Which leads directly to MUA. Neither Goku nor Falcon showed up, their spots are vacant and unselectable.

At the very first time I installed the OCP , I can't induced hereselect to work in no way.
The problem was that my main folder of MUA was here : C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Activision\\Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
But the direction which is in the herostat.cfg file, refered to another way , namely : C:\\Program Files\\ Activison\\Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
The only little deflection was the : (x86)
It was because the game is a 32 bit application and my operation system is 64 bit.
I tried to rewrite the C:\\Program Files\\ to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ in the herostat.cfg, but it not helped.
So after all, the last thing I tried was, to remove the full Activision folder to here : C:\\Program Files\\ .
Since I did this change Heroselect works perfectly.

I think I just screwed up my herostat too much to fix it somehow. Has anyone posted just the standard herostat anywhere so I could refresh everything and just re-add all the mods I have and start anew?

When I get to step 3B, it tells me "Can Not Open Output File : Access is denied. : C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\ Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\OfficialChars_1_3-135486371.exe"

I tried to move the entire activision folder to regular program files, but it said the same thing, minus the x86.

One thing I noticed is that I need administrator approval every time I move anything into or out of the folder, even though I'm already an administrator. Could this be the problem?

I think it's at least a symptom of the problem.  I don't believe Program Files/(x86) is a folder that usually requires administrator privileges.  Sounds like something is a little weird with the permissions.  That would also explain the "Can Not Open Output File" error.  Try running both heroselect and MUA as administrator and see if that helps.

The biggest fact this is, the problem of the heroselect is the directory address. When you change it to your C: / Program Files, 80% of your problems are solved. This problem with permissions can be a problem of other 20%. I made a video that teach to use the heroselect, but is in Brazilian Portuguese, but the procedure is clear. Surely you will need to change the Windows pemissões to access the herostat and herolist. Watch the video, I think he will be able to help you.

I used the clean download on Page 48. However, it appears that Colossus and Nightcrawler are the only characters whose actors files are present. Everyone else (at least the characters that I want) have heads, but they don't have anything in the actors file. In addition, it didn't come with any of the information for me to add the characters to the herostat. Colossus is already on it, Nightcrawler isn't.

And I thought this would be so easy to download.

Update: I read through about the first 8 pages, and completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game and the mod seems to have helped everyone. Should I attempt that as well?

Man this exe. of the page 48, I do not know. But why you do not use the conventional OC from page 1? I use and it serves me well. I can easily access my mods, and that distracted me a lot when I'm operating the heroselect. I recommend you insist on it. Worth it!

Im pulling my hair out trying to figure out what's wrong when trying to use Heroselect and hero stat.

- I did a fresh install (several times) , at the moment my game is in D:\Programfiles\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance

- Then I installed the complete character roster mod from a download on page 49, since the opening post download does not work at all, it's an Executable file and even downloading it from the filehost is sketchy and convoluted at times.

- Installed the hero mod, ran the game, I see Hawkeye (the menu even pops up stating i have hawkeye), Moonknight, Captain Marvel, Don't see hulk though at this time. maybe need to get farther then the first mission? not sure

- Next, I open the herostat, edit the first line to match my Data folder directory. D:\\Programfiles\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data , I copied and paste, so it looks exactly how my file directory looks.

- THEN, I open heroselect, fill up my roster of 20 something heroes, Hit accept team, then Launch MAU, after changing the file path at the bottom to match my D directory. The game starts up, I start a brand new game, rush to the first shield point to change roster, and Nothing, I see Moon knight, Hawkeye, etc, but I dont see any of the heroes I put in my roster. The main hero I just want to select is Sabretooth, everything about him is already included in the herostat no? So Why is this not working? Am I doing something wrong? is something in the wrong spot? Is the Heroselect folder supposed to not be in it's own folder or in a data folder or something? Im at a loss here and hopefully someone can help me.

EDIT: By the way, I'm using Windows 10

So the heroselect folder is in the root of the game dictionary right? D:\ProgramFiles\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\heroselect

This looks wrong to me. Are you sure the folder is called "Programfiles" not "Program Files"?
D:\\Programfiles\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data

If it is Programfiles it should be like this
D:\\Programfiles\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data\\
not
D:\\Programfiles\\Activision\\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\\data

Also are you sure the hard drive is D:?

So on the game path you have
D:\Programfiles\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\MUA.exe
Right?

Yeah, sorry it is just ProgramFiles, how it's supposed to be. It's also in harddrive D: yes.

Everything is where it should be labeled exactly how it should be. Still not getting it to work. My heroselect folder is in D:\ProgramFiles\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\HeroSelect

Should I have those files in Heroselect, not in it's own folder or is it fine there? Because everything is labeled how it supposed to in the hero stat as well. double slashes and all.

In this case Your heroselect folder must be in : D:\ProgramFiles\Activision\Marvel - Ultimate Alliance\Ui\Menus .
And You have to add two separate mod to Heroselect ( which isn't in the OCP ) before you can use the select option.

What are the 2 separate mods exactly? I'm not quite understanding what I'm missing.

I meant , you have to add two individual character mod to the game, wich aren't included in the OCP.
After you do this , you will be able to use the select option to choose the heroes you want.
Another thing, you mentioned you have Windows10. So You have to run all the programs ( total commander , notepad , heroselect etc... ) and also the game , as an administrator. Or the changes you do, would not appear.

Hello everyone!
I have question about the mod. When it is supposed to be installed?
Should I install it after I just started the game(due to the fact that I'll have to restart the game to use new characters)?
Or it's suggested to install it after you finish the game, so you have all the Vanilla characters unlocked?
Or it doesn't matter, and I can install it whenever I want?
I'm sorry for the stupid question, but I'm quite new in modding.
Thanks in advance! :stark:

No matter what, you'll have to start a new game to have access to the new characters anyway, so it doesn't really matter much.  You'll also need to delete the .dat file (someone else could probably remember the exact name) in My Documents/Activision/MUA, whenever you change the roster and before starting a new game.  Otherwise, you'll still have the same characters who were already available. 

Finally, I recommend using the code to unlock all characters at the first SHIELD Extraction point just so you can enjoy the new ones a little earlier.  I think it's up, up, down, down, left, left, left, Enter.  To be honest, I also do it because I don't really know when they'd otherwise become available.

First of all, I'm sorry if I answer so late; by the way thank you cyberhawk777, I think I'll finish MUA first time in Normal-mode to unlock everything without cheating, and once it will be done, I'll install the mod.
However it won't be soon, I decided to play X-Men Legends 1 and 2 first ;)
Oh, and just another question: concerning X-Men Legends 1, it was not for PC, so we have to use emulators (even if I saw that some guys are creating it in this forum), in fact I use PCSX2, and in works flawless. But what about XML 2? Do you suggest me any particular version?

I can't really comment on X-Men Legends emulation, as I haven't tried to emulate PS2/XBox games on PC.  Also, I should probably mention that, due to some issues they can't overcome, the X-Men Legends PC project on this site has ended.  It's still partially playable, though.

Hi,

** for silver surfer, all his costumes(Power Surge, Silver Age, Vitality, Heavy Damage) on PS3/XBOX360/WII look the same but with different traits
*** if this Silver Surfer and Moon Knight comic book missions were present on PS3/XBOX360/WII, i like to keep it^
**** unless it involves non-DLC/PSP characters unlike eg. captain marvel, hawkeye, hulk, magneto (screenshots on OP)


^only if they don't replace any other comic book missions. but i guess these are custom made by BliZZ..
Also from wiki I saw that PS3/XBOX360/WII had five additional comic book missions exclusively. i can't find neither any info about these missions nor whether it's present on PC. are these the missions mentioned in the Official Characters mod...?

If any user shed some light on these info, it'll help to recreate the proper MUA 1 PC Original Port to compare directly with the MUA 1 re-release...

The two games are identical. The original PC release didn't even have Colossus or Moon Knight.

I can't really comment on X-Men Legends emulation, as I haven't tried to emulate PS2/XBox games on PC.  Also, I should probably mention that, due to some issues they can't overcome, the X-Men Legends PC project on this site has ended.  It's still partially playable, though.

Thank you cyberhawk, I'll keep using the emulator then.
As I said, they work flawless with these games with not a huge graphics or soundtrack, different e.g. from God of War, that has some troubles...
So, good play to all of you!

Yes, i know. that's why I'm asking how to include only those two characters in the original PC release.. The re-release have these characters though... but not sure about the 5 exclusive comic book missions. i'm still at the Atlantis level on the re-release..

Why would you want to have a mod that has less than what you can have? You must work for the developers that re-released the games or something. :P

I don't like getting more stuff.  That's awful.  I want a mod that removes all but 1 character from the game.

Does anybody have a working link to the Official Characters 1.3? I wanna mess around with mods on my disc copy while I'm waiting for the remastered versions to get figured out mod-wise, and I deleted my MUA mods folder a while back. The link in its thread definitely does not mod it, and I've tried going back through the threads to find another link and haven't had any success.

Hi

I've just tried installing the modpack and I think I did it all right, following all the steps as they're shown in the first post.

To recap this is what I did:

Windows 10 64-bit, all executables launched as administrator. Main game working perfectly fine.

1) Install the game (not in Program Files in order to avoid problems)
2) Download the package from the first post.
3) Having an Italian version of the game I've followed the extra backup and restore steps to install the mod.
4) Open the heroselect folder inside the game main folder
5) Edit the cfg file in order to have it look in the maingamepath\data folder.
6) Used Heroselect.exe to edit the roster

7) Start new game -> It starts a broken game
7b) Start a new game again -> Now it's fine, it even gives a "You've unlocked thisguy"!
NOTE: This happens every time I switch characters in the roster: a new game must be started twice in order to have it working all right.

Well, here comes the problems:
The roster is all there, all the new characters I chose at their place as they should BUT!
a) Lots of "defualt" characters have more costumes already unlocked. Not the end of the world, but still.

b) None of the new characters has any power. I've tried Venom, Cap Marvel, Cyclops, Moon Knight and someone else but none of them had powers nor any other particular ability (like flying and such), making them quite useless. Alt Costumes were all there and working. Sound effects and voices seemed all right.

Is it supposed to be like this? Am I doing something wrong?

Not sure why you didn't just install in program files? I've never had any issues with that, might be worth to just install it there

Installing in the Program Files folder is the only way I could ever get it to work, actually.

I highly doubt the problem is the folder where the game's installed, but to answer your question:

Program Files is a protected folder highly monitored by Windows (from Vista 'til 10) which usually stops any kind of "interference" from any program, ignoring if such program has been launched with administrator's right or not. Some mods (like the Infinity Engine ones or some The Elder Scrolls/Fallout's) do not work at all if the games is located in Program Files (as they require an external program to modify a high volume of data and such program is blocked by Windows). 

Or so I heard.

I don't know if it's true or not, surely when I tried to mod Baldur's Gate it didn't work until I moved it from Program Files to any other location.


That said, I'll try to reinstall the game in Program Files, but as I said I don't think it will solve the problem, after all is not like the mod doesn't work AT ALL, it simply doesn't completely work as intended (at least I think. Actually I don't know if those characters should have powers at all).

You have the Italian version of the game right?  Have you tried renaming the .engb extensions to .itab

Nope, I'll try.

I didn't do that before because there's an .itab file already, which was modified together with the .engb file after using Heroselect (or so said the "last modified" windows tab).

The Italian version is the European version, so it comes bundled with other 4 or 5 languages (english being one of them).

EDIT: Renaming the .engb did nothing.

Hey guys,I need some help!
Does this mod work for the new MUA release for PC?,with the updated graphics and all?
If so,how can I install this? I'm not realy good at modding stuffs..
Thanks!!

But, you have installed the game in italian? You'll see, the data files such as powerstyles and talents have their .engb and .itab version, inside they're codes, and those codes are written in english and italian respectively. If the mods haven't the .itab data files, the powers will not work, I think your only choice is to install the game in english.

I've been mentioning which MUA1 RE Mod currently lack of before:
*Mesh Modding IGB is inaccessible (on actors (skin number only) & models folders) for now
*The rest still the works but some are different:
**Recommend to retexture from the old ones to the new ones to get the retextured mods works for these reasons below
***Models offsets are different, but still has the same textures & DXT format
***Hud making is now DXT3 like in PS3 & 360, involving Alpha Channel
***Power Icon (from texture/ui) is now very easy & has a similar offset as PS3/360/RE Hud offsets above
**Sounds change to pak (contains all sounds) > fsb (contains all sounds in their respective name) > mp3 (main format)
***The programs like fsb's fmodder & extractor still exist

I dunno about XML2 & MUA1 PS2 models, if they are worked there or not

Is there will be update of this pack with original (from MUA RE) actor & mannequin models?

Quote from: nikita488 on September 15, 2016, 10:00PM

& from MUA Wii for PSP/unused Wii:
*Fixed/updated actor models
**especially on Captain Marvel's models. When he jump, his model's half body touches the floot instead of lower foot
**For Modern (Natasha Romanoff) should have her weapons model & texture from her playable versions, while keeping the character model remained on NPC ones
**Custom Spec & Bump to match other playables' models & DLC models
*Hud (except for Modern (Natasha Romanoff) remained on NPC ones), including the correct Blade Daywalker Hud
*Wolverine's 3rd Loadscreen
*Power Icons
*Mannequins (while Black Widow's mannequin should be Modern, but has her old mannequin's character select pose)
*Ronin & Black Widow simulations as bonus, including Updated Simulations for Hulk to match the full unused files provided in RE ones

If only there's a someone who can make a tutorials to rip Wii models & textures w/ or w/out NinjaRipper, or upload MUA Wii iso, include with playable PSP (including Hawkeye's simulation))

I was banging my head over the same problem...the links in the first post are not good.  In fact they can be downright dangerous if you aren't aware of what is happening.

Luckily the link provided above DOES work...now to figure out more on how to use this file with the re-master version.

You can't use this with re the models are.igb and re is .ig something else so I don't think there is way to convert these unless you are somehow able to make a new character with the unused content

The IGB model format mostly, unable to use mesh mods & pre-Remastered + no news about updating this for modding community.

All you can do just copy paste the retextured textures from original to RE via Texture Finder & MUASkinner

oo cool it would be useful if all this info was posted in the same place XD

I'm going to do some reading of your other posts, so I might have a few more questions after I do....just a heads up.

Hey guys, this is such a great addition to an already great game. Only 1 snag... when it comes to the XBox DLC characters (cyclops, nightcrawler, etc.) I can't change the characters skins. Every other character is a simple download, rename and replace in the actors folder. But when I do it for the DLC characters, the skins don't change. I was hoping someone could point me on the right direction.

Weird, that's never been a problem for me. I changed Cyclops and Nightcrawler's skins and they worked fine.

and you did this just adding to the actors, hud, mann. folders? dang, wish i could figure out whats up on my end

I hate to admit it, but I'm actually pretty lazy about it; all I ever changed were the files in the actors folders, so they still had the same HUD icons and everything. But the costumes themselves would change.

I have bug with Jean grey mission. help

From reading some of the other posts, I feel there is a good chance that I'm going to mess up if I try to mod. So I'll try to ask my questions first before doing that:

1: Can you add all of the official characters into the new, updated 2016 PC version of the game? Right now I only have Moon Knight & Colossus.  (I ran a patch that I thought was supposed to add them but nobody else showed up.)

2: Which version of the mod am I supposed to use? There's at least 3 downloads posted:
OfficialChars_1.3.rar - Folders and files - 71.4mb
M.U.A._(ModPack)_v.1.3.Final.rar - An EXE file - 75mb
Official Characters.rar - Folders and files - 101mb

3: Depending on the above question, I just copy and paste the folders / run the exe, and then everything works out fine?

The executable file you are referring to must be the ZIP file. You just need to run the ZIP file, choose a place on your PC, or even the MUA directory itself, to unzip the files. After you copy and paste the ZIP files into the MUA directory, you go into the heroselect folder. Within this folder there is a PDF file that will guide you through the use of the heroselect program. I use heroselect and for me it works perfectly, but you'll need to do some tricks to make it work if your PC is 64-bit version. The first maneuver is to move the Actvision folder, with the MUA inside it, to the C: \ Program Files disk.

Hey guys!

I had a problem with Black Widow from this pack.  :blackwidow:

Her powers, passives and sounds are OK, but she doesn't fight (only the knockback attack), just grab and punch. She jumps only one time, not twice like the others.

I already installed her boost, but the problems continue.

Could it be on a specific outfit slot? Because I have a problem where I can't use Black Widow's first outfit, her powers don't work for me and I don't know the cause. Since her powers work this COULD be entirely different.

sually this type of problem occurs when there are no edited PKG files for the number of skin used. Check the number of the skin that is in trouble and check if the package / generated / characters folder has any PKG file for the skin number. If it does, decompile the file with the XMLBCUI and verify that the same numbering is in the middle of the code. If it is not, just change and compile

All her skins have that problem   :/
