Oh ok Ive never used herostat but ill try and update them (Or just work double time and make more lol) :D And also sorry I dont have any pics of the skins I cant get good close up pictures .
So does the herostat within the wolverine set make you be able to choose from 3 different wolverines ?


Yes, in your HeroSelect cfg you have three different Wolverine entries. In mine, they're Wolverine (the standard old MUA wolvy), Wolverine - Alt, and Wolverine - Alt2. Then, when I select my roster using HeroSelect, I can choose between any of those three. If I want B-Law's New X-Men skin, for instance, I choose Alt. 2. It's easy, and I never have to backup skin files or edit the herostat again once I've set it up in HeroSelect. You can't choose multiple Wolverines, as only 1 will show up in game, but why would you want to?

Here's an Iron Man pack as well. This will change once Teancum's War Machine model is done, because the War Machine default skin for IM will probably get swapped to the Heroes Return one, but it's another example of how to set it up.

It's super easy to set up the herostat entries. Just copy the standard entry for the character, then change the skin numbers and skin names and you're done.

If you can make packs like that, that would be much more useful to the general public I think. No decompling of the herostat necessary. Also, let me know which skin packs you're working on and I'm happy to make custom huds. I can do them relatively quickly.

Among the characters who have 4 extra skins available to make a complete new entry include: Jean Grey, Storm, Colossus, Cyclops,--lots of those X-Men characters because we have so many from XML1/2 (I already have Colossus and Cyke part way done, so I can finish those if you want to focus on others. Both of your Cap ones, for instance, could be added to a single pack.) If a character only has two or three extra skins (like, say Deadpool, who has two), my plan was to keep skin 1 the same (since it matches the mannequin) and amend the others as needed. To me, this is a great and easy way to add variety to your games and make use of all these great skins we have around.

And if you're not using HeroSelect, why the heck not? :) It's amazing and makes switching characters an absolute breeze. I have every stage 1 and 2 mod from the catalog and some stage 3 ones in my HeroSelect right now, and it works like a charm for modding and playing alike. It's the best thing to happen to MUA modding--ever.

Not sure about the rage issue. Did you download my "pack" or the one from the 1st page for Wolverine?

EDIT: I just looked at the files, and everything seems to be set up right in the packages. Not sure why the huds not showing up.
