New Discoveries from MUA2 PS2/Wii/NDS and PS3 Versions

[Teancum]

Best you could do with building fusions is to write a .py script that checked if another character is on the team. Like say Thing activates his Extreme it might check to see if Human Torch is on the team. If so, play a specific set of combat anims and effects. But there are still three major problems: 1) you can't control the second character at all, 2) you can't determine who to "fuse" with, and 3) if more than one character already has their Extreme powered up they'll do them all in a row in MUA.

As far as MUA2 PSP and Wii levels, Wii textures can't be read by MUA and so the model will show up, but no texture. PSP textures crash MUA PC

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, Teancum! I'll try to experiment with it soon

Maybe retexture WII models will work? But it surely will consume a lot of time.

As for handlers from MUA2 that was reported not working, are they require the new Alchemy version? What does the N-Space say about that?

[Teancum]

Handlers are part of the .exe, so yes.

[MUALover]

Handlers are part of the .exe, so yes.

Hmm ok then, thanks so much for the informations, they are very helpful.

Another note, the gameplay on the WII emulator doesn't always have 'smooth' fps.. which it depends on your computer's system requirements.

I know that resurrecting an old topic is restricted but..

After I extracted some of the files from the PS3 version of the game, I found another interesting things :
1. Powerstyles for all characters are in the .muc file format. For example, I took Jean Grey's Restraining Wave powerstyle, and this is what inside the .muc file (Not all code can be copied to this post, though) :

<igx name="ps_jeangrey">

2. There's a "Fusion" folder inside the "Data" folder, which contains an individual fusion code for an each character. They are in the .muc file format.

<igx name="jeangrey_fusionCreateTornado">
    <object refname="fusionCreateTornado" root="true" type="CCombatNode">
        <var name="_chains" ref="jeangrey_fusionCreateTornado.fusionCreateTornado_chains" />
        <var name="_triggers" ref="jeangrey_fusionCreateTornado.fusionCreateTornado_triggers" />
        <var name="_animEnum" value="EA_FUSION_CREATE_TORNADO_START" />

3. In the actors folder, all files are in the .igz format. There's an "effects" folder inside the actors folder and contains (maybe) numerous effects models for the characters (example : invisiblewoman_vortex_bubble.igz)

4. There's an "anims" folder that contains (maybe) all animation files for the characters. They are in the .hkx format. (example : 23_songbird.hkx)

5. There's an "animtranslationreference" folder. The contents inside of it are in the .igz format. (example : common.igz)

6. There's an "effect_ent" folder inside the "data" folder. The contents inside of it are in the .mua format. (example : humantorch_f_to_jeangrey_debris_ents.mua)

<igx name="humantorch_F_TO_jeangrey_debris_ents">
    <object refname="debris" root="true" type="CEntityDef">
        <var name="mEntity" ref="humantorch_F_TO_jeangrey_debris_ents.debris_mEntity" />

9. All effects in the "effects_igx" (in MUA, the folder called simply "effects") folder are in the .igz format.

10. There are multiple file format in "maps" folder.
I took a 'Chemical Plant' map folder, and these are the contents :
- cpa_map2.boyb
- cpa_map2.igz
- cpa_map2.mua
- cpa_map2.navb
- cpa_map2.shz
- cpa_map2_chatter.igx
- cpa_map2_collision.hkx
- cpa_map2_entities.mua
- cpa_map2_fx.mua
- cpa_map2_lights.mua
- cpa_map2_mixpoints.mua
- cpa_map2_tiles.mua
- cpa_map2_timeline.mua

11. Materials are in the .igz file format

12. There's two formats in the "models" folder : .hkx and .igz

13. Packages are in the .pkgb file format. There's also fusion packages in the folder.

14. Scripts are written in .py file format.

15. Shaders are in the .igz file format.

16. There are two different sounds directory. The first one contains .igx files, the second one contains .wav files.

17. Textures are in the .igz format.

18. There's a grand total of 42.605 files and 1.619 folders from the extraction. Not to mention the ones that can't be extracted. The size is 3.48 GB. Movies sizes are not included.

That's all for now. And sorry for my bad english

The PSP has slower load times on all games. It's just a slow console.
