Notes for V1.3:
1. Added a 6th skin (X-Men costume) and the corresponding HUD


Notes for V1.2:
1. Fixed the missing chill effect for the Ultimate costume

If you have installed V1.1, then you just need to replace Iceman's herostat with this:

Code Select Expand

      talent {
      level = 1 ;
      name = block ;
      }

      talent {
      level = 1 ;
      name = grab ;
      }

      StatEffect {
      bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
      effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
      fxlevel = 1 ;
      skin = 01 ;
      }

      StatEffect {
      bolt = Bip01 R Hand ;
      effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
      fxlevel = 2 ;
      skin = 03 ;
      }

      StatEffect {
      bolt = Bip01 L Hand ;
      effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
      fxlevel = 2 ;
      skin = 03 ;
      }

      StatEffect {
      bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
      effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
      fxlevel = 1 ;
      skin = 02 ;
      }

      StatEffect {
      bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
      effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
      fxlevel = 1 ;
      skin = 04 ;
      }

      StatEffect {
      bolt = Bip01 Spine2 ;
      effect = char/iceman/special_selfchill ;
      fxlevel = 1 ;
      skin = 05 ;
      }

   }

You might need to start a new game for the changes to take effect.

Thanks Gevth for pointing out the limits of the herostat!


Notes for V1.1:
1. Changed the hit-effect for Ice Slide
2. Fixed the missing HUD for the Original costume

Thanks SpongeSpider for reporting the bug!


Notes for v1.0:

This mod gives Iceman:
1. ice-sled effects for his "Ice Slide" power.
2. an ice-shield model for his blocking animation
3. ice beam effect for his trip animation
4. a 5th costume (Ultimate Iceman) and the corresponding HUD
5. a fix in the cost of skill points in the talents file
6. a fix in the Xtreme that can damage all enemies including bosses


Instructions:

* Please refer to the readme included in the download.
* You may want to consult The Boy Sanga's tutorial if you don't know how to edit your herostat. However, you can use Norrin Radd's Heroselect if you think all these steps are tedious.
* It is highly recommended that you start a new game with default stats after you have altered the herostat or installed a mod.




1. Ice-sled effects:
I finally did it after spending some time studying the XML1 effects. Yay! I used most of the codes from XML1, but it's not a direct conversion.


2. Blocking effects and model:
The animation was clearly designed for something like this, but the developers didn't make any effects and models. @_@ The ice shield is a custom model I modified from MUA, so it will turn red when your enemies hit you.

And, I think the developers were trying to copy Marvel VS Capcom. Well, at least I am.


3. Tripping effects:
The developers used the same animation from XML2, but they forgot to add the ice-beam effects... So, I added them and defined them properly in the powerstyle. Now. it deals cold damage instead of physical damage.


4. Ultimate Iceman:

The XML1 version (which can be found in the Skin Mega Pack) was really low quality; it was 128x64. I made this Ultimate Iceman (ice form) using Ultimate Iceman (human form) from XML2 and the textures of Iceman's Classic costume from MUA.


5. X-Men costume:

This is Iceman's human form before he started wearing leather coat.

The one in Marvel vs Capcom is a variant of this costume, but this costume has many variants.

nice let me be the first to post a reply to this awesome man i was waiting for something like this

[iammingy]

Thank you!
I hope people haven't kicked Iceman out of their gang of 27 characters.

Is it dorky if I say this is "cool"?

Nice upgrades. I wonder: Does your knowledge of the ice slide lend itself to an upgrade of Magma and Avalanche's slide abilities?

Thanks. I think they work the same way.

Wow, that ice slide effect is awesome and the addition of ultimate iceman is a nice touch.

[satchLINY]

now to decide if i should remove iceman from the "to be replaced" list...

[Venom]

Good work Iammingy , it was a bit of a let down that ice-man didnt have the ice-slide but lucky we have you

[jonchang]

Iceman is back on my roster again, Mr. half-man, half-amazing!

[Sasquatch]

Great work as always iammingy.

[cvc]

Thank you!! I tried and tried to get that sled to work to no avail. (great works)

[SpongeSpider]

I just tried the mod and great job! I never really saw how the default Iceman slide looked like Iceman's comic slide. The only glitch I noticed is that Iceman's hud for his "Original" costume won't work.

[iammingy]

Thanks guys!

I just tried the mod and great job! I never really saw the default Iceman slide looked like Iceman's real slide. The only thing weird I noticed is that Iceman's hud for his "Original" costume won't work.

What's wrong with the slide? You can't see what it looks like in the pic I showed above?

For the Original costume, I know what's wrong and I can fix that. Sorry about that though. I will change the hit-effect of the slide power, too.

[SpongeSpider]

I meant the un-modded version of Iceman's Ice Slide didn't really look like the Iceman's slide in the comics and you're version does look like the comic version. I'll fix my post.

[iammingy]

Oh, ok. Sorry for my misunderstanding.
