Has anyone done load screens for Sabretooth and Pyro? Also has anyone done any Gear specific items for these characters and the unlockables? I forgot to add: Is it possible to change the special teams for Sabretooth and Pyro? i.e. Be able to get Brotherhood of Evil when I add Sabretooth and Pyro instead of nothing. All I get for Sabretooth is AoA for his Skin. If anyone has please let me know so that I can download them. Thanks.
Anyone have anything for this one? Any hints or where I can go to edit the special teams?
search ftw
If you don't find it, there's a request forum.
ftw?

Ok but I am still curious how to edit the team bonuses for XML2? FTW is not very helpful AFAIK. Maybe I am not looking in the right area. If someone could point me in the right direction that could help or just explain to me how to do it that would be nice. Of course, waiting for help here is like waiting for the DLC for MUA to come out on the other systems.

dude, get an attitude adjustment. i dont remember anyone being paid to help you or anything.
if you type in something like 'team bonus' in the little search thingy it might help too, you know to find stuff on your own while waiting for someone to answer you, god forbid if it takes more than an hour for someone to answer you.
Cable -- why are you asking for stuff that's right there in the Knowledge Base? If you used the search function it would take you like 10 seconds to find what you need. If you're gonna have some crappy attitude then take a walk, man.
I did try team bonus in the search and I did do exactly what everyone said and guess what it erased all of my team bonuses for the game including and I dont know why the back ups that I made. So I had to uninstall and reinstall again and it was fine but it made me upset that I had to do that again when it should have worked in the first place.
Here's a novel idea: Get the program that decompiles the files (XMLBcui). Decompile the team bonus file. Look at the existing entries. Change stuff. Recompile. That's how you learn, and that's how everyone else learned. It's so simple once you open up the file. That's where you start. I don't have XMLBcui on my computer so I can't show you a sample entry and explain it to you, so you're on your own if you can't find out how (which there are MULTIPLE threads on how to edit these kinds of files.... maybe not EXACTLY what you are looking for, but that's part of taking what you learned and applying it to different situations).

Seriously, I thought we'd been through this before. When it takes a couple of hours to answer, that is NOT a long wait. When the answer already exists and you must FIND IT, and no one answers, that is also not a long wait. School is back in session, and I imagine lots of people (myself included) are affected by that time and have very limited "computer time". Answering the questions of someone who has a highly disrespectful attitude is not a priority. Should you take a snarky attitude again, I (and I encourage others to follow suit) will no longer answer you. You are not entitled to anything from us, and if you don't like it, then you are welcome to gtfo.
Here is also a novel idea: Read people's posts better. I said that I did what everyone said to do and that would mean to download the XMLB.cui and I did that. I downloaded all files from the site and it is very confusing what to download when you download V. 2.2 and find out that it is not all what you need and that you need to download the original XMLB and even then the other files that you download you need to place into the folder for the XMLB instead of extracting them into he file. Would it not be more simple to just download one file and it have everything in it? And also to make the instructions easier to understand. This very confusing: Run as:
xmlb-compile [-s] -d file.engb > file.txt [to decompile xmlb/engb file]
xmlb-compile [-s] [-b] file.txt file.engb [to compile txt file to xmlb]
-d means to decompile
-b is debug printing and is optional
-s run silent and is optional
Hints:
1) Copy xmlb-compile.exe to c:\windows (first time use)
2) Open a DOS box (programs-accessories) and run it, or
Open Windows Explorer, right click on the folder with xmlb
file and Open command Shell
Would it not be simple to put this file with the xmlb in the first place instead of separate? I am new to this whole modding thing and want that the programs I download to be complete and not: Download this file first and then this file and then this file and it will be complete. Also when I ask a question it is because I dont have time to search for the answers. You people may have all the time in the world to search but I do not. So it gets frustrating when I need help with something and no one answers or even gives me a link to anything. This was not aimed at Blizz. :)
You need XMLBCUI, it's got a windows-based front end that makes this easier.
And lose the attitude man, you're not making any friends with it. And if you don't have time to use the search function, you probably don't have time to mod. That's a fact.
Also Blizz is right I and others are not entitled to anything but yet we have this site and the mods and we own the license to the game but yet we as the consumer are not entitled to anything especially when we did not buy the license to the game? If a person pays money for a product they are entitled to what they pay for but when a company fails to make the product better it is the consumers job to make it better if they want to because we feel entitled to a better product because we paid for it. If no one is entitled to anything than why make these mods?
1. Here is also a novel idea: Read people's posts better.
Yes, we do read your posts, but are you suggesting that we mind read and know what your problem is when you dont explain everything? Saying that you did 'exactly what everyone said' is quite vague. A suggestion for future questions is to a) be polite. b) explain what the problem is with information that might be useful to help you. c) while waiting look to see if you can solve the problem on your own. d) realize there is a learning curve involved in modifying the game and that you may not be able to do everything at once, even with people's help
2. I downloaded all files from the site and it is very confusing what to download when you download V. 2.2 and find out that it is not all what you need and that you need to download the original XMLB and even then the other files that you download you need to place into the folder for the XMLB instead of extracting them into he file.
xmlbcui works great for me, it has a graphical user interface so maybe that will be less confusing for you. It is a great priveledge that we have tools such as these to help modify the game. If you have ever used command line programs before the instructions are actually quite easy to understand, so if you have no experience with this types of programs, yes the instructions may be somewhat difficult to understand, but you cant expect the creator to go to your machine and run it for you. If you have questions about how to use it, search the forums or ask for help. saying that the instructions are not clear for you is fine, but not really useful information to anyone else.
3. Also when I ask a question it is because I dont have time to search for the answers. You people may have all the time in the world to search but I do not. So it gets frustrating when I need help with something and no one answers or even gives me a link to anything.
You seem to have quite a bit of time to reply to other topics, so i very much doubt you dont have time to search for things. Also, if you get frustrated it would be best not to take your frustration out on people who can possibly help you.
Also, back up your files before modifying them
4. If no one is entitled to anything than why make these mods?
for fun silly

Nope. Modding games without permission from the publisher breaks the EULA. So count yourself lucky that Activision/Marvel allow this site to be alive at all.

How old are you again, 12? If you don't have time to "search for answers", then I don't have time to explain things eleventy times to people like you who are too lazy to search all of the how to threads, or even, *gasp* try to figure it out for yourself. If you can't follow the guide I already wrote on how to use it, as well as the other countless guides around the forum, then I am not going to hold your hand and walk you through it, especially with that bitchy, demanding attitude you have as of late. I don't get paid for anything I do, neither does anyone on here. We owe you nothing, so don't walk around demanding things and acting like we NEED to give you everything or answer every one of your questions. I don't have the time or the desire for it, so cut it out.

It's not done, but like I said, search FTW. You follow the herostat directions for any .xmlb file in the game.
EDIT: BliZZ or any of the other mods, would you mind giving that a sticky? I know it's not finished, but it's a start...
EDIT2: Thanks
stickied
all of this is not really hard, its just testing out stuff and seeing what works. playing around with stuff. if you read around the forum, you pretty much get a feel for everything. What it does is take time, especially mods.
And no one here owes anybody anything, we are fans and we do what we do for fun. I personally do all the mods/conversions i do for myself, not for anyone else. But i want to share with others, so i do.
and sometimes we dont answers questions, because either we have other more important things to do, we are tired of answering the same question, we are not online, or just simply we dont know. (seriously there are so many great projects/mods being worked on right now, that i rather modders finish than have to worry about answering questions).
Search first. Request second.
ok well since I had problems compiling the team bonus to the proper editing way. Would it be possible for someone to send me the decompiled version so that I can edit it and I will send it back and it can be compiled again and then sent back to me so that I can replace it with what I have? And I promise after this I will be good. :D
Ok, so I have been messing around with the XMLB trying to get Cable installed and put all the files in the folders. I have two questions: 1. After you decompile the ENGB or XMLB file for herostat then you edit it, is the notepad document suppose to be blank or is there suppose to be words on it? Also to get the 21 character slot do we need to do anything special for that slot to be opened like for MUA?
Firstly, make sure you're using XMLBCUI (available at NB2KSTUFF's website), it's Windows-based and a lot easier.
1-Start it, choose File-->decompile, hit the top browse button and choose the file. Hit Accept. A small dos window will run, then a confirmation will appear.
2-Back on the main menu of the program, choose File-->Edit. It will open the decompiled file automatically in notepad. Edit what you need, close and save.
3-Back at the main menu, choose File-->Compile. Now hit the bottom browse button and choose herostat.engb. Hit accept, wait for the confirmation to appear, you're done.
If no confirmation appears you have an error in the actual syntax, which in lamens turns usually means that a { or a } is missing.
As far as the Cable mod, it's VERY incomplete due to the lack of a good animation set for him (plus he only has one poor quality skin). If you're wanting to try one of the PSP exclusives I'd recommend the Cannonball mod, which is great.
To answer your last question, there's only one thing you need to do to open slot 21. When you look in the herostat, your first entry will be for defaultman. Replace that whole section with the character you want to put in there.
Thanks that worked. I was working with screen size of 800 X 600 and was not getting the browse option. I made my screen smaller and it worked.
