36 Roster Hack (v3.0) "The Holy Grail"

[Tony Stark]

Everyone, the 36 Roster Hack has been updated to v2.0. This is a very important update. Why? Because it now coincides with the new 50 Roster Hack!!!

See, the one drawback that the 50R has is that you have to have all 50 spots filled for the game saves to work. But what if for a certain game, you don't want that many on your roster? Well, that's where the new 36R comes in. I'll show you how so that you have both and switch between 50R and 36R at any time!

The following information is not for newbies. Don't attempt if you don't know what you're doing.
The new 36R works just like the 50R -- it's essentially the same package. Same plugins, same dll file, etc. There's only one real difference -- the "team_back.xmlb" file.
So, for those of you who already have the 50R, all you have to do is...
(1) Download the new 36R, but don't install it (because they're practically the same as the 50R).
(2) Open the 36R's "ui/menus" folder and look for the "team_back.xmlb" file. Rename that file "team_back_36R.xmlb" and then copy it.
(3) Open your game's "ui/menus" folder and paste the file there.
(4) At the new 36R, copy the "Menu Locations.png" image and paste it elsewhere for your reference. This way you have the menulocation numbers for both hacks.

That's it. Now when you want to use the 36R instead of the 50R for a particular roster or game save, go to your game's "ui/menus" folder, and rename "team_back.xmlb" to "team_back_50R.xmlb," and rename "team_back_36R.xmlb" to "team_back.xmlb" (See what you did? You basically just switched the hack, and you can always switch back!) Just remember which one you are using when saving and loading games. Renaming the team_back file determines which hack you're using. Pretty cool, right?

And for those who use "Tony Stark's" OpenHeroselect program, don't worry. When he returns home from the holidays, he plans to update the program for both, as I have sent him the menulocation numbers.

You're welcome.

OpenHeroSelect's been updated for both the new 36R hack and the new 50R hack, get it here: https://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,10597.0.html

Everyone, the 36R has been updated to version 2.5. Spider-Man and Captain America's spots have switched, and the pre-made herostat has been made even simpler for newbies. Check it out.

Everyone, the 36 Roster Hack's herostat has now been updated to coincide with the new Official Characters Pack (OCP).

Is there a way to stop it from unlocking every character in a new game? I really want the extra characters but dont want to have all the base characters unlocked since I like unlocking them myself in a first playthrough

[Enchlore]

Go to scripts -> menus in your game directory and open new_game.py. From there you can delete the codes that unlock characters as well as the ones that unlock the extraction points.

Okay so it worked but uh, Ronin, Black Widow, Captain Marr-Vell, and the hero dlc pack+Villian DLC pack are invisible but can be selected but the selection kinda, uh, crashes the game, im not a Modder or anything so I assume I did something wrong?

If you follow the instructions inside the archive, it will tell you to install the Official Characters Pack (OCP), and provide you with the link. The problem you're describing sounds very much like a missing OCP.

Everyone, both the 36 Roster Hack and the 50 Roster Hack have been updated. Their herostats are now updated to coincide with that of the newest Official Characters Pack v2.3.

Also, Team Stage Collection 4 has one stage updated -- the Squadron Supreme stage. (The wrong logo was used before.) If you download that again, only "m_team_stage_squadron.igb" and its visual needs to be updated. Nothing else.

[Outsider]

Everyone, both the 36 Roster Hack and the 50 Roster Hack have been updated. Now the MyTeam feature that is usually unlocked during or after the completing the Atlantis level is now available at the start of the game! (You only need to overwrite the "scripts" folder. Everything else is unchanged.)

[Outsider]

Everyone, both the 36 Roster Hack and the 50 Roster Hack have been updated. Now there is an optional Gold Edition stage for 36R with the original mannequins and its own herostat file if you don't prefer the new features for some reason. Please DO NOT USE this with the 50 Roster Hack, as it will cause the game to crash. Also changed the Castle Doom extraction picture.

I was just curious as to why the roster hacks don't work under Linux? I am a Linux gamer myself and I would love to understand what issues have been caused and maybe I could do something on my end to help get it to work on Linux.

This is probably the information you need:

Someone tried to use it on a Steam Deck a while back and similarly couldn't get the roster hacks to work, and I know those run Linux too.

Thank you very much.

If the problem is what I think it is. Then the the fix wont be as simple as drag and drop. Because all this work is done with Visual Studio and Premake5. There are gonna be a few thing that I will have to install within the wine container for MUA in order for this to work. But Until I can test it, this is a theory I have for now.
