50 Roster Hack (v2.5) "The Holy F**kin' Grail"

[Outsider]

For both the 50 Roster Hack and the 36 Roster Hack, I have updated them, fixing a herostat error. However, you don't need to re-download & install them. Just change one thing on both herostats: At Cyclops' herostat entry, where it mistakenly says "cyclops_p1," write "cyclops_power1" then save.

Everyone, both the 50 Roster Hack and the 36 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. Use the 50R to 36R Switch batch file to switch to the 36R to use it. Also changed the Castle Doom extraction picture.

Copying and pasting some of this from the 36 roster hack thread:

I managed to get this to run on my Linux desktop without much hassle. For reference, I am using Proton-7.0-3 for this game. I just installed OCP and the roster hack as expected. However, before installing the roster hack, one of the files needs to be renamed so it gets loaded properly. In the unzipped roster hack, enter the ui folder then under the models folder, rename "m_team_stage.IGB" to "m_team_stage.igb" without the quotes.

For this game to launch with the roster hack, make sure that "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command%" is present in the launch options for this game under Steam, without the outer quotes. WINEDLLOVERRIDES is necessary for Proton to properly use the dinput8.dll file. It's unrelated to the mod, but disabling ESYNC and FSYNC prevents the opening videos, menu, etc. from running at 1fps even on an unmodded install.

I also tried to get OpenHeroSelect to work, but to no success. That's probably going to need to run on Windows.

Since I am unfamiliar with Linux and this Proton program, I won't be able to test this myself. However, if you can have a few people on our Discord test this to confirm that it works, I will then consider this as a trusted method, and will mention it in the thread's post. Good luck.

Both the 50 Roster Hack and the 36 Roster Hack have been updated.

-Changed extraction points in new game script.
-The Colossus mannequin was removed due to an OCP upgrade.
-Venom's mannequin in the optional GE stage section was updated.

Hats off, I've stayed away from these because I like the app where I pick my characters each game.
What I really liked, LOVED as a matter of fact....I did not have to set my own mod for having the shield access point at beginning. So weird to see that in another mod..
That, and when game started, seeing all those characters on the screen made me giggle a little.
Thanks, and thanks.
nice work,

This is an awesome mod. I had a hard time figuring out which characters to play because there are so many . Question though. I noticed IronMan, The Punisher, and Iron Fist are missing, when I have seen them in other players screenshots and videos.
Were they left out on purpose?
Do they need to be swapped in by replacing characters already installed?
Or are they in there and I just have'nt figured out how to access them ?
Apologies if these questions have already been asked and answered elsewhere?

Those characters are modded characters and the OCP doesn't include them. The picture was mainly to show people that any 50 characters you want can be placed in the game is all, though I understand the confusion.

Thanks for the response. So my next question would be, how would I go about placing Iron Fist and The Punisher in the line-up (I just spotted )?

By editing the herostat.engb file included with the roster hack and replacing two playable characters with Iron Fist and Punisher, ensuring the assigned menulocation number previously used by two official characters you've decided, are the same for Iron Fist and Punisher when you add them. That's it.

Thanks for the instruction; worked like a charm  !!
