Mandarin Booster for Outsider's character mod

[Deidara]

The Mandarin's Booster

Here is the first official booster for Iron Man's arch rival, The Mandarin! The aim of this booster is to make Mandarin truly feel like his NPC boss became unlockable with all his powers but has extra abilities, and this booster certainly provides that. There's a lot of good stuff here, featuring new abilities, buffed abilities, and an extra skin. This mod is intended as a booster for Outsider's Mandarin character mod. Check it out!



FEATURES:

-New and complete voice pack with all unused lines in the boss file, custom voice lines made from NPC dialogue, grunts, xtreme call out, menu break lines, and roster callout by Scott MacDonald
-A few new power animations
-Uses four secret block powers
-Uses his two cut boss abilities that still remained in his file, so I restored them in a functional way
-New melee combat animations to reflect his martial artist expertise
-Now has flight and custom whirlwind effect and sounds I put together
-Now uses his PS2 retro red robes skin and has his NPC HUD recolored to match this skin
-New upgragable grab smash power
-Herostat has changed (also added a 1.05 scale_factor value)


Secret Block Powers:

Teleport (changed sounds and now uses teleport effects used during boss battle)- Using advanced Makluan technology hidden on his person, Mandarin can teleport by pressing $SMASH while blocking.

Resurrect- Much to his chagrin, Mandarin knows he can not defeat the Masters of Evil on his own. Using the ^Remaker ring, Mandarin restores the molecules in his incompetent allies to full health. Press $ATTACK while blocking to ^resurrect fallen allies.

Restoration- Using the ^Remaker and ^Lightning rings, Mandarin boosts his allies fighting potential by healing their wounds and granting them electric damage. Press $MOVE while blocking to support your piteous allies.

The Nightbringer (restored boss Power)- Much like his personality, Mandarin's abilities cast an ominous shadow over the world. Press $GUARD while blocking to confound The Mandarin's victims under the power of the ^Black ^Light ring.


POWERS:

Poison Cloud (buffed to included knockback and replaced the knockback charge)-Press $SMASH to use Mandarin's ^Remaker ring. This ring will rearrange atoms to create poisonous gases in the air that attack enemies for a time and blast them all away.

Impact Beam (relatively unchanged)-Using his ^Influence ring, Mandarin fires an intense beam of energy, causing popup and knockback. Will also increase potency of his ^Poison ^Cloud ability.

Levitation (completely reworked. Now is the same ability as Mephisto's)-Using his ^Daimonic ring, Mandarin uses white light from the electro-magnetic spectrum to lift and crush enemies.

Whirlwind Vortex (now uses same animation as in game boss)-Using his ^Spin ring, Mandarin accelerates time and creates a fierce whirlwind that traps enemies in its' vortex.

Ice Blast (render fx added, ice will no longer shatter upon inflicted damage)-Using his ^Zero ring, Mandarin unleashes a beam from the icy heart of outer space. Freezes multiple enemies instantly, and for a time.

Star Flame (reworked, now uses same effects as boss)-Using his ^Incandescence ring, Mandarin summons the scorched heart of a star, and hurls a charged fire beam, piercing foes and igniting them upon impact.

Psychic Shift (effect change)- Using ^The ^Liar ring, Mandarin projects a short-range psionic beam that mentally controls the thoughts and actions of an enemy for a time.

Electro-Blast (restored boss power)-Using his ^Lightning ring, Mandarin discharges high amounts of electricity around himself and his surroundings. Will further increase his ^Restoration ability. Upon his victims, unleash a deadly spread of continuous electric bolts.  $PT_HOLD

Black Light (unchanged)-Using his ^Nightbringer ring, Mandarin releases malleable darkness around himself, dealing damage to all enemies within radius over time. The Darkforce also reduces damage taken by 25%.

Power of the Mandarin (buffed Xtreme)- Using his ^Spectral ring, Mandarin releases powerful disintegration beams all over the area, followed by a devastating radial blast. The blast destroys the atoms and molecules of all enemies, annihilating them

REDUCTIONS:
As this is an ambitious booster, I cut triggers where I could to remove bloating.

Dominance has been removed
Trimmed down Poison Cloud
Greatly simplified Teleport (can only teleport backwards as a means of escape, no longer can teleport allies).
Removed shared lightning bolt for allies
