Man, talk about a glutton for punishment...

Bill, who was there...

Ha, I've read some good Marvel books from that era, DG.  :)

ATTENTION: If any of y'all downloaded the mod from the link in this thread rather than from my blog, please delete your copy and download the installer.  If you did so,  you got an older version, and you're missing several updates and about a zillion string entries.  The new version should be save game compatible.

Haven't had time to play this yet (still hoping to get Fawcett working at some point), but thanks for all your hard work on this.

And a Super Huge Thanks!!!! to all the contributors to this great project.

It is truly amazing how many characters and stories you have been able to include.

Great job all around.
For Freedom!

BentonGrey

Thanks for the kind words, WF, and you're very right for praising our amazing creators!  :D

Played the first 5 missions of the FF campaign, having great fun and no problems so far. I also noticed you have


Spoiler


that Titanasorus works for the Mole Man now. Cannot blame him, after 1 encounter with Godzilla I would go hide underground too.



BentonGrey

Great news, EoB!  I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying it, and especially happy to hear it isn't giving you any trouble!

Spoiler
Haha!  Yep, I'm always ready to raid Val's kaiju stock when I need a big, stompy monster for a story.  There are a few others hiding in the MU as well, and I think there may be one or two in the DCUG too.  :D

Question: If i copy/paste the map files from your final version to my current one Benton will the map problem in the FF third mission disappear? I have already your version installed in one of my pcs bu i have plenty of custom characters isntalled in the test version you gave me some months ago.

BentonGrey

Jim, you'll need to get the textures, but yes, that should work.  I also did a ton of string entries, so you might merge the lang dats as well.

 :doh: Last night when I was updating to the current version, I didn't put the "/MA" at the end of the installation path. Everything went into my main  :ffvstr: Folder instead of a "MA" Folder. What a noob, boneheaded mistake. I haven't started to check out how much damage I did yet.

Uh oh, that's not good :blink:

If you're using steam, revalidation of your game files should work to return your base game back to normal. Other things like extra files will have to be manually cleaned out, though.

I'm using the Disk, which was what caused me to make my mistake. I had to change the path of the install.

Thanks AA, and thanks to creating such great content for the mod!  :D

Finished the FF campaign,

Not today Doom!  :D



Nice

BentonGrey

Thanks EoB!  I read through the classic FF in the last several years, and I really enjoyed telling a story in that fashion. 

Spoiler
That final mission played okay for you?  I just played it yesterday and had some issues.

It worked fine for me

Spoiler


I took out Doom with a nova blast and destroyed the machinery after that.



BentonGrey

Great!  It was probably just a random glitch, then, because I tested it before with no problems.  Thanks, EoB!

I'm going to upload a minor update for a few odds and ends I missed soon.  Has anyone encountered any bugs?

I found a few fruit flies, but that's about it.


OH! You mean in your mod! Well, I've seen a spider, an ant, and even a scorpion!

I am replaying the Avengers campaign to get to the new mission. I got to the old last mission and suffered a crash when

Spoiler


The Swordsman found Mantis and talked about carving his way thru the blue skinned cowards.




Ok I used Mission_Win() to get past that played the SS mission. Nice but it seems like you wanted to do another mission after that.

earl of bronze

I started the Spider-Man campaign. Sorry to be negative but





Spoiler


in the HFH mission the Cobra is massively overpowered. I was beating on him with both heroes for over 5 minutes while Mr. Hyde stood around on a rooftop and he still had over 70 hp when Hyde woke up. What am I supposed to do?

Thanks EoB!  I really appreciate the bug spotting.  Don't worry; you aren't being negative.  You're being helpful.  I'll give these a look this week and try to sort them out.

I assume you loaded a save for the last Avengers mission?  I'm not 100% positive, but it's POSSIBLE I changed something that could have caused a save to choke.  I'll know after I play through.

For Spidey, yeah, that shouldn't have happened.  That was supposed to be a tough fight, but he shouldn't have been that much of an obstacle.

:EDIT: So, re-tested the Spidey mission, and that is too tough.  I'll mess around and see what I can come up with.  Would y'all prefer me to just remove Cobra, or should I try to rebalance him a bit.  Basically, does he feel too tough on his own merits, or is the mission too tough?

I played the Avengers campaign again(loved the comic book covers) and used the cheat to get past the crash so I could play the Squadron Supreme mission.


I would vote for killing err removing that blasted snake.

If you are trying to do the old Cobra and Hyde team then you need to really weaken Cobra from what I've heard. You have to remember that Hyde was the powerhouse in that grouping, Cobra was the brains.

If we are talking about the Spidey camp with the Heroes for Hire mission yes Cobra can be frustrating but i have played the campaign twice in the hard difficulty and it didn't have a major problem. Maybe you guys play it in higher difficulty?

I played it on the "My life is actually Peter Parker's!" difficulty.

BentonGrey

Ha!  That's got to be the hardest difficulty!

Thanks for the feedback, guys, and DJ, that is what I was going for.  I think part of the problem is that Mr. Hyde is a lot easier to hit, even though he's a lot tougher too.

I think one of the issues is that I originally balanced Cobra to fight Thor, a-la his appearances in the Thunder God's comics back in the day.  I've probably got him a bit too tough.  He's got 02 point invulnerability and stone material type.  I'm debating what to do with him.  Getting rid of the invulnerability, but that might still leave him a bit too tough.  Thoughts?

BG, then you need to dial down the dodge ability on Cobra esp if you have him going up against Spiderman.  Remember SPidey has spider sense so he has a better chance of hitting a contortionist than Thor would. Probably drop the invulnerability on Cobra and move it over to Hyde also.  Hyde can take tons of damage and often times in the comics just laughs it off.

Make Cobra slippery to hit, but not quite as durable. I'd say make him a bit softer than Spidey, but about as hard to hit.

I haven't read Cobra's old appearences, but knowing Thor, I'd think that Thor just has a tough time hitting Cobra, not exactly hurting him. Considering how much damage he can do to people like the Hulk and Juggernaut (without his forcefield), that's not surprising.

Thor also has a bad track record vs agile opponents (e.g. Daredevil, Wolverine, Mongoose, Quicksilver, etc), which is weird because he can hit people like Gladiator and Hyperion (who both have incredible reaction times), but whatever.

BentonGrey

Thanks for the feedback guys!  I've given him 02 invul. and Flesh material.  He's a little squishier than I like, but the mission feels much better now.  I'll do some more testing.

Spyder, there is an argument that folks like Gladiator, Hyperion, you know, Superman types, tend to take a punch rather than dodge it because they're confident in their abilities.  In fact, given Gladiator's weakness, that might be more true than not.
