Armor — Custom Models Mod for MUA1
Hello everyone,
I'm very happy to release this final version of Armor for MUA1. After the beta version release, AndersonBrazil has jumped in and contributed with a whole new set of skins just for her, with her exoskeleton functioning as a skinsegment--and it actually works pretty well! (Thank you so much for your time and dedication, Anderson!)

Here's the download link of
version 1.2:

Version 1.1 has solved an issue with the exoskeleton skinsegment from skin 16325 (Schoolgirl). The exoskeleton was still visible in non-combat areas, unlike the other skins.
But what's a custom skin and how is it different from a PS2 skin?, you might ask. Check the image below.

P.S.: I intend to release more re-skins from these versions redesigning and recoloring them.
P.S.2: The PS2 version won't work with this custom models version (and vice versa) due to the particular mechanics each one has. One works with two skins, while the other works with one skin with two skinsegments, so the powerstyles coding of each mod followed accordingly.
P.S.3: If you would rather see Armor without her exoskeleton on the Character Selection Screen, just remove the line "nonmenuonly = true ;" from her entry on the herostat file. The Multipart coding block must look like this:
Multipart {
health = 0 ;
hideskin = exoskel ;
}
To properly run this mod, you need to copy all of its folders (except the "xtras" folder) and paste them inside the main folder where your game is installed.
Then, you need to decompile your herostat.engb using the XMLBCUI software and edit it, replacing one of the characters from your current roster with Armor (simply copy all lines from herostat_armor.txt and paste them inside the recently decompiled herostat.xml, replacing the lines of the character that's going to leave your roster). Don't forget to get its menulocation number and to give it to Armor. Now you need to compile the herostat.xml back to the .engb extension and copy/paste it back inside its proper folder.
If your x_voice.zss file doesn't have a "callout line" for Armor (that's when she's selected and the announcer calls out her name), you have to edit the x_voice file file using the Zsmeditor software. After installing that software, use it to open the x_voice file and then add the "an_armor.wav" file (it's inside my mod's main folder) using the Files tab on the left (after you add it, it'll appear at the end of the list of voice files). Then (still at this software) hit F3 and type COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/AN_armor in order to generate its event/hash number. Copy this number and go back to the Files tab where you added Armor's wav file. Replace the event/hash number of its line by the one you've just copied. Get this event/hash number and the ID and, in the Events tab, create an event with these exact numbers. Type in "31" inside the blank Data and, finally, hit the Add button. Then choose to save the file as a .zss file (actually type in "x_voice.zss") and paste it inside the proper sound folder so it's updated.
If you also wish to give Armor her "break line" (that's when she would say something before leaving the character selection screen and entering the stage), you have to edit this same x_voice file using the Zsmeditor software. Use it to open the x_voice file and then add the "break_armor.wav" file (from inside my mod's main folder) using the Files tab on the left (after you add it, it'll appear at the end of the list of voice files). Then (still at this software) hit F3 and type COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/BREAK_armor in order to generate its event/hash number. Copy this number and go back to the Files tab where you added Armor's wav file. Replace the event/hash number of its line by the one you've just copied. Get this event/hash number and the ID and, in the Events tab, create an event with these exact numbers. Type in "255" inside the blank data and, finally, hit the Add button. Just like you did before, choose to save the file as a .zss file and paste it inside the proper sound folder so it's updated.
Now you should be all set to play as Hisako Ichiki. As always, have fun!
