New Storm Mod!

[shadowsire]

Hi All,

I just want to thank this amazing site and mod authors...you have inspired me to create my own storm "overhaul" as it will feature new/revamped powers, 6 costumes (that i personally like) and new icons for powers I have designed.

I look forward to sharing this awesome mod with you guys, as i have discovered a way to implement rapid tap and a hold version on a single power giving us more possibilities than ever.

Stay Tuned For more!

XOXO - Shadowsire

ENJOY! more videos to come!

Storm Ultimate Goddess Booster
Public Beta / Test Launch v0.1
By Shadowsire aka M.R.C

WARNING!
Please back up your files before installing. I am not responsible for data loss, crashes, save issues, or damage to your game installation, laptop, or PC.

This is a beta/test release. I have tested this booster on both new games and existing saves, but every MUA setup is different. If you run into errors, try testing on a new game with default stats and without cheats before reporting the issue.

This booster is currently in a polishing pass, so feedback is welcome and appreciated.

============================================================
ABOUT THIS BOOSTER
==================

Storm Ultimate Goddess Booster is a full gameplay overhaul for Storm in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

The goal of this booster is to make Storm feel closer to an omega-level weather goddess while still keeping her balanced and playable within MUA's combat system.

This booster includes:

* New and reworked powers
* Tap / hold / rapid-tap power behavior
* Custom power icons
* Reworked weather FX
* Reworked melee effects
* New wind, lightning, rain, hail, fog, blizzard, and tornado concepts
* New Xtreme design
* Hidden advanced techniques
* Team support and defensive weather abilities

============================================================

POWERSET
========

Green = Attacks
Blue = Boosts
Red = Xtreme
Yellow = Hidden / Advanced Techniques

---

ATTACKS

Lightning Storm

Calls lightning down from the sky. Designed around tap, rapid-tap, and hold behavior. Rapid tapping continues the lightning barrage, while holding creates a more focused lightning attack.

Tornado Tempest / Hurricane Burst

Creates powerful wind and tornado attacks. The hold version focuses on a controllable tornado vortex, while the tap/rapid-tap version creates wider hurricane-style battlefield disruption.

Tempest Cloud

Summons a dark thundercloud that pressures enemies with thunder damage, fear, and damage-over-time effects.


Downpour

Calls violent rain and hail onto enemies. Designed for area pressure, knockdown, and storm damage.

Blizzard

Creates freezing storm conditions. The hold version focuses more on freeze/control, while the rapid-tap version is being polished to expand the storm area and visual range.

---


BOOSTS

Veil of Mist

Summons mist to help hide and support the team. Intended to provide team invisibility, critical support, and energy regeneration.

Maelstrom Aura

Surrounds Storm and allies with a defensive weather aura. Intended to reduce damage, protect against elemental/freeze effects, and damage nearby enemies. Projectile/beam deflection is being tested for a future update.

---


XTREME

Cyclone Fury

Storm unleashes an omega-level weather assault combining tornadoes, rain, hail, lightning, and storm devastation.

---


HIDDEN / ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

Conduction
Hidden block-modifier technique. Allows Storm to use chain lightning as an advanced combat option.

Arctic Winds
Hidden block-modifier technique. Allows Storm to use an additional cold/wind control technique outside her normal power slots.

---


MELEE / COMBAT CHANGES

* Added lightning effects to basic melee attacks.
* Reworked chain lightning behavior after Storm's light combo.
* Added Thundercrash-style air slam concept.
* Added wind-based heavy/knockback attack concept.
* Added mini funnel / wind finisher concepts.
* Storm's melee is intended to feel more elemental and weather-driven instead of generic.


============================================================
CURRENT BETA STATUS
===================

Version: Public Beta v0.1
Status: Playable beta / polishing pass

Most of the core gameplay design is already in place. This beta is being released so players can try the current version and give feedback before the final polish pass.

I am currently looking for feedback on:

* Crashes or freezes
* Missing effects
* Missing sounds
* Balance issues
* Powers that feel too weak or too strong
* Powers that feel visually messy
* Save-game issues
* Install issues
* General gameplay feel

============================================================
KNOWN ISSUES / STILL BEING WORKED ON
====================================

Lightning Storm
Single-tap behavior is still being reviewed. Goal: one tap should always fire at least one lightning strike, while rapid tapping extends the attack.

Blizzard
Rapid-tap version still needs more polish. Goal: rapid tap should expand the area and visual range more dramatically.

Gale Force / Heavy Knockback
Damage may currently be too high. Goal: reduce damage while keeping the strong wind knockback identity.

Gale Force FX
Visual effects may receive more polish so the move feels powerful without relying on excessive damage.

Veil of Mist
Team energy regeneration is being confirmed and polished.

Maelstrom Aura
Projectile and beam deflection are being considered/tested. The goal is defensive utility, not full invulnerability.

General Polish
I am still checking for lingering FX, repeated-cast stability, balance, and visual readability.

============================================================
HOW TO INSTALL
==============

1. Back up your files first.
2. Download the Storm Ultimate Goddess Booster beta package.
3. Copy/drag the included folders into your Marvel: Ultimate Alliance directory.
4. Allow files to overwrite only if you understand which Storm files are being replaced.
5. Launch the game and test Storm at a S.H.I.E.L.D. access point.
6. If you experience issues, report them with details.

Recommended:

* Back up your saves.

* Test on a new game if you experience problems on an existing save.

============================================================
HOW TO REPORT BUGS
==================

If you report a bug or crash, please include:

* Your game setup

* Whether it happened on a new game or existing save
* Which power/action caused the issue
* Which map or mission you were in
* Whether it happened once or repeatedly
* Screenshots or video if possible

This will make it much easier to fix issues.
