XML1 NPC/Bosses

now that i have the files for XML1, i'll be working on NPC and Bosses from the first game for use in XML2.  Once they are done i will see about converting them to full on playable charcters, but for now they are just NPC.  If you want to try them out, use them in the dangerrom or hex them into one of your save games. ( you can learn how to do that here http://thegamersjournal.com/rpg/pc/xmenlegends2/hex.php).

notes: all his attack work, i might have missed some, so i might update him in the near future

upnext: Avalanche and the Shadow King

If I remember correctly, he only had the 2 attacks. His effects need to be recolored yellow, not sure if anyone did that for the playable version...

I know it'll sound like a lot, but would you mind also porting boss versions of the other B'hooders? (Toad, Mags, Mysty-Q, Toothy, Pyro, Blob, Juggs)
They'll come in handy if we ever get XML1 maps working....

yeah i was planning on doing all of them (even the charcters already in XML2 like Pyro and Sabretooth), just in case they had differnet powers or effects.  Im going ot start with those not in XML2, then i'll do the others.

I kind of like Havok's effects being all white, but i'll recolor them yellow, just so they look better.

NPC Pyro isn't the same, since boss Pyro had a minion spawn move. Boss Sabes isn't anywhere to be found in 2, and i think Mystique's was cut down (she has no bomb in 2). The only one who MIGHT be the same is Blob.

thanks for the info, ive never played XML1 so i have no idea about what powers they had or what effects colors should look like, i'll start on avalanche.

My MUA mod has most of Avalanche's effects recoloured already. I don't know if they're the same colours as in XML1, but they have a nice orangey-red theme, and look decent enough, if you don't want to go through all the effort with him again.

[BliZZ]

Yeah, and I think you are going to have some trouble with Avalanche's effect models. I know I did (and I MAY have come up with a convoluted fix, but I am too busy atm to test....)

yeah i was going to ask you if i could use the ones you colored, i'll go ahead and use those, thanks

blizz, if i have problems with his effects models, i'll look at your mod and see what is different

[BliZZ]

I never did one. Dark had a unique idea (make it an effect), but I'd still kinda like to see the model eventually worked in.

oh sorry it was burning rages mod

Hey Blizz, what model/effect are you thinking of specifically? I had to rename or tweak a couple, but I don't recall any being that terrible to work with.




Of course, I've blocked out most of that week from my mind since it was so long and (relatively) a nightmare, so I've likely just convinced myself that it was a happy time...

EDIT: Ohhhh do you mean the cage thing? Yeah, that was totally not working no matter what I did. It was a royal pain in the everything...

oh sorry it was burning rages mod

I never finished that mod because for some reason, when I selected Avalanche my game would crash.  I still haven't figured out why.  It sucks immensely, as some of the powers were placeholders for kicks and giggles until I actually got to test Avalanche and see what worked, and what didn't.  I might go back to it some day, but for now, he's at the bottom of the list...  Well, just one notch above Jubilee.

yeah crashing mods suck, both my Cable and Magma mods crash, and i dont know why, ive checked everything too
