Yeah, found the commands. They're in the SCRIPTS/MENUS section; the XML2 commands are loadMapChooseTeam("mapname") or loadMapKeepTeam("mapname"), where mapname contains the full path from the game's root dir. Note that the quotes and ellipses ARE necessary.

Insert those into a script, then just call the script upon exit from a convo in which you trriggered the mission entry. POOF!

Now to figure out how to silently switch team members (i.e. so that the roster WOULD change, but without the player's consent; kinda like on entering the Simulator missions, y'know?)...

perhaps the answer lies in the beginning of the game, first stage of MUA. without the ability to load Saved Data or use Default settings, you start with the fabulous 4..

or the character challenge missions since you HAVE to use that one character.

That's how it was done in XML1...  I'm sure you wouldn't have to change much to port that idea over to MUA.

That's funny, the Xbox version starts with Wolverine, Captain America, Spider-man and Thor.

Yeah, so does the PC...   :wtflol:

Yessssh... seeing as it is coded into charinfo....

Perhaps the whole 'team map entry' thing can be done there? (as they apparently did at e3)

Hey, what do we know about /packages/generated/maps/sim/omega3?  It's there, but it's not referenced in the simulator.

Successfully added a sim mission to the Xbox.  Well, sortof.  I modified Thing's to get a Colossus mission.  The level loaded, but there were just a few default men to fight.  That and I could select my team.  I'm assuming all level-specific characters and settings, including which map to load, are all stored in cm____.fb.  I of course renamed Thing's fb to cmcolossus.fb but *if* I can get it to work properly the level will probably be exactly the same, having to fight Rhino and all.

I can tell you that *I think, away from my PC right now* the game chooses which characters start the game in charinfo.xmlb.  Spidey, Thor, Wolverine and Cap all have a variable called start_game, and they're the only ones that have it.

Hmmm... Speaking of which, apparently they had two more characters planned for the PSP, Iron Fist, and I forget the other one (at the bottom of the file).

Oh hey Tommy, can you post your simulator.engb that has the XML2 missions in it?  I played around with adding one but didn't have any success.

Longshot, yeah. Which is sad, really, as I'm a big fan.

Read through the topic again.  PSP missions on the PC?  My question is: Do they work?  If so, I'll try yet again to get PSP stuff working on the Xbox.
March 22, 2007, 08:51AM #40
No, they don't. Ask Blizz, he'll give you the in-depth.
The cover stuff: the geometry format is different, same reason why PSP models didn't work on the Box. Pretty bad, huh?

Yet another thought:  We have hero missions, so why not disable the hero to make it a VS mission.  For instance, I removed the Conversations, external objectives, and hero = to make Captain America's mission a Winter Soldier VS mission.

Here's what I did, pasted just before the Kurse VS mission:
Code Select

   COURSE {
   arena = Helicarrier ;
   boss_damage_scale = 0.3 ;
   boss_health_scale = 8 ;
   bossname = Wintersoldier ;
   comicmission = true ;
   destroylimit = -1 ;
   name = CMCAPTAINAMERICA ;
   timelimit = 1200 ;
   title = Winter Soldier_Vs ;

      SOUNDFILE {

*EDIT*

Similar results as the Colossus mission.  I had a number of characters, but were missing quite a few as well.  No boss either.

Read through the topic again.  PSP missions on the PC?  My question is: Do they work?

To an extent. The Survival ones don't. I'm still trying to figure out the issue with the bosses on the char ones, however.

What would be really cool is if someone (Noel, perhaps? :D) found the definitions for where the disks are found WITHIN the PSP maps and modified the PC ones accordingly, so we can actually unlock the disks without cheating.
March 22, 2007, 12:03PM #43
It's do-able, since we can easily take the locations of the discs from the FAQs - that will narrow our search area, right?
I'll see what I can dig up.

I'm guessing you're using Tom's meshes for the heroes though, right?  Or is it reading the PSP meshes my some miracle?
