The time has come to open this ancient Vault once again! I can't believe I gave up on modding in 2012. Well, things are about to change...
And this time, I present to everyone my first ever character mod:
PUCK v1.1
Meet Alpha Flight's agile hand-to-hand specialist, named Puck! This mod was created as a response to Outsider's challenge for new modders since Puck was the only iconic member left from the Alpha Flight roster. Puck turned out to be extremely effective, even if he doesn't have a lot of moves. Check him out! And bring his fellow Alpha Flight members along for the ultimate teamwork experience!
FEATURES:- 4 powers, 2 boosts, and an Xtreme.
- Abilities of Compressed Cellular Structure (25% resistance to any damage type), Acrobatic Agility (can manually evade attacks while blocking, making combat more skill-based!).
- 5 hex-edited skins, 5 HUDs, a loading screen (+ 2 extra), icons, mannequin, and sound/voice file that uses voice lines of League of Legends' character Rumble.
- Uses assigned number
#243 (
will clash with Heimdall in mannequin).
v1.1 Update:
- Fixed the known bugs
- Updated animations and got rid of the custom fightstyle reducing the amount of triggers
- Rebalanced some the powers
- Power 3 "
Cartwheel Circus" now requires holding the button to continue evading, thus fixing the problem of being stuck in the cartwheel mode if energy reaches 0.
MOVESET:1. Puck n' Roll: Curling into a ball, Puck propels himself forward, knocking his opponents down.
2. Tripping Breakaway: Spins legs around kicking any enemies within range, sweeping them off balance.
3. Cartwheel Circus: Eugene performs cartwheels to evade enemy attacks. Press Attack or Smash to unleash a devastating leap kick as a counterattack.
4. Dropkick Pass: Puck jumps on his targets, dealing Physical Dmg with a chance to knock out stunned enemies.
5. (Boost) Bullfighter's Grit: Puck boosts his own movement speed and motivates his allies, increasing the chance to dodge enemy attacks for the entire team.
6. (Boost) Half as Tall, Twice the Hero: Thanks to his superhuman stamina, Eugene is able to sustain peak exertion and greatly decrease energy spending for a time.
7. (Xtreme) What the Puck!: Accelerating to superhuman speed, Puck curls into a ball and stuns all enemies, dealing massive Physical Dmg.
Ability. Acrobatic Agility: Hold Block and press Attack or Smash to Evade enemy attacks.
Ability. Fastball: Can be thrown like a fastball by bigger heroes!
NOTES:- If you want to use 2 bonus loading screens, go to "xtras" folder and rename the one you want to
24303 and place it in "textures\loading". If you want to use all 3 loading screens, rename both to
24301 and
24302, but note that those will clash with Heimdall's. If you are using a mod of another Alpha Flight member (Guardian, Vindicator, Sasquatch, Shaman, Aurora/Northstar, or Snowbird), you can use the Alpha Flight loading screen for them instead. Given that Guardian, Shaman, and Sasquatch don't have loading screens, you can use their numbers.
- The "xtras" folder also includes his voice line (PUCK_BREAK.wav) for the x_voice if you want him to say a quote in the Character Select Screen.
BUGS:
- While using his Xtreme power, like with all teleporting powers, it's possible to fall through the map to your death on uneven surfaces, so try to avoid using Xtreme on slopes or stairs.

But most of all, his patience. I would never be able to do it without his guidance.
