Things have finally calmed down for me, so it's back to the salt mines! I'm trying to get my Marvel mod to a release-able state, and I just need a few more things:
New requests!So folks, I'm still in need of mapping help. If any of our newer skinners or skopers want to try their hands at mapmaking, I could really use someone to create a few specific things for Marvel Adventures, just to add some variety to the mod's locations. It's either that, or we're going to see the same locations show up over and over again. If you're interested, let me know!
On a more traditional note, can I get someone to give me a golden, statue-flavored skin of the Shi'ar Guard mesh? I'm going to use them for the Shi'ar palace level.
Another request, I need Doc Samson. What's out there for him in his classic look?

Spoiler
Wait, that's not quite right, is it? Ha, I got the The Mighty Thor Omnibus for Christmas, and I've been reading all of the classic Thor tales over the last week. This has put me in the mood to get back to work on my Thor campaign, and the appearance of the diabolical team of Cobra and Mr. Hyde has made me want to include them in a mission as well. I was just wondering what resources are out there for them. Are there any skins for Tommy's excellent meshes?
Also, has anyone put together a TV lite type version of Cobra? Are there any versions of him available in some of his later costumes?
Went through what I had - for Mr Hyde I have Tommyboy's and a skin by Angry Red Herring for male_trenchcoat. For Cobra, I have Tommyboy's, with a second skin by LP. I also have a skin by Angry Red Herring for male_basic_cape_pointed_hood.
From his readme, the ARH skins are based on their appearance in Spider-man 231-232
Hmm, Angry Red Herring is someone I've never come across. I just discovered LP's Cobra skin. I should have remembered that he had done an awesome set of Serpent Society skins. Well, with Tommy's excellent Mr. Hyde mesh and skin, and his great Cobra mesh along with LP's skin, I think I'm all set for these guys. Thanks RD!
I've got Cobra and Mr. Hyde, but I'm wondering if someone out there might be able to help me with another issue. I've been working on my Thor campaign, trying to come up with a mission involving the Absorbing Man, but I'm having trouble. What I'd like to do is have Thor fight him normal size, defeat him, but then have him grow to building size like he did in the classic stories. However, the excellent Absorbing Man mesh by Grenadier I'm using doesn't move quite right when blown up to giant size. Do any of the skopers or other veterans have any suggestions on how I might be able to tweak him to get a better looking giant, KF-wise?
Also, I am almost positive he's been made, but I can't find Surtur the fire demon. Does anyone know where he is or who made him?
http://www.comicvine.com/surtur/29-10967/
ARH skins are here
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/angryredherring/files/
Surtur is here
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Fusionmeshes6/files/
Gren has a Ymir plus some Frost, Ice and Storm Giants
Thanks RD! I figured you'd know where to find them. Yeah, I've already snapped up all of Gren's giants. I've had a blast lately throwing Thor and the Warriors Three up against a bunch of frost giants.
Also, I'm in need of an object mesh, a shield of some kind. Does anyone know of anything that would work? It doesn't need to be any particular shape or color, just a shield I can pass off as an artifact, a mcguffin in my Thor campaign.
Ohh, and what is out there that would serve as a fire demon, Asgard style?
Anyone out there interested in putting together Thor's secret identity, a Don Blake skope/skin? A skin of civilian male would be cool, but a skope with his walking stick would be even more awesome. The staff from the wizard mesh would work perfectly.
http://funpastimes.com/wp-images/wasp2/wasp_avengers_2_2.jpg
http://www.reviewingcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/dr-don-blake-talking-to-Jane-foster.jpg
I would love a Donald Blake mesh - far too few secret identity mesh's out there. I was trying to find a male with cane mesh I heard about awhile back. That would work for Daredevil's secret ident as well.
For a shield, look at the photoskins page on hexed meshes - a few different shields to choose from.
There's some viking and medieval-type characters here, maybe you can use the shield from one of them:
http://www.fxforce.com/PHOTOSKINS.html
Fire demons: If all else fails, you can go with Red Sun's Fire Elementals.
Ahh, thanks guys, one of those should work just fine. Could anybody skope one of those viking shields into a stand-alone object mesh for me?
JKC, you know, I should have thought of that. I can just use the Fire Elementals.
Hey guys, I'm still looking for some help getting Gren's absorbing man to play well as a giant. I'm hoping someone can suggest some keys that would work with him to give him more giant-like attacks. I've reached this mission in my build, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey B,
This is the Legionaire's shield...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/cmdrkoenig67/shield_object.jpg)
Will this work for your shield (I added a glow texture to it too)?
Dana
Ahh, that should work perfectly Dana!
Howdy guys, here's something new. Didn't someone, maybe Tiobe, preview an Asgard map some time ago? I can't find any trace of it, but I am really hoping that there is some news on it. I could really use an Asgard map of one type or another.
On another note, what do we have that would work for the Alpha Primitives? I'm sure we've got something in the wide FF world that could be used for these guys:

I think Tiobe was working on a rainbow bridge and I was contemplating making an Asgard-type map, but I don't know if T ever finished the bridge and I kind of gave up on making an Asgard map (I couldn't find a base map that I liked of the maps available to use for it).
As for the shield, I currently have it set as a Europe Base object (eu_shield...which basically means it can't be moved or destroyed, it could be removed via coding of course). You could reset it as a character, if you'd like...Whatever works best for what you need, B. I was making the shield object and a shield/sword object for wall decor a while back and kind of forgot about them, until your post here reminded me.
Dana
There is an Alpha Primitives hex done by KennX here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Whatever_happened_to_Ken/files/Marvels/
There is also a skin by C6 which is already included with the mesh. It doesn't come with keyframes, but any male_heavy will do.
Also, I made a skin for Surtur a little while back to capture a more Walt Simonson-esque version of him. Would you be interested in this or would you like preview to see if it fits your campaign?
To what size did you scale your giant Absorbing Man? I have an idea or two to help, but I also know you probably want more of some keys that represent the fact that he's huge (like punching or smashing to the ground on smaller characters).
Lastly, for a fire demon, I kind of like the old daemon mesh by Irrational. It has wings and red skin and, of course, looks like a demon. I use it as one of Mephisto's summoned minions. We could alter the skin a bit to fit your vision or maybe even skope some flame FX to it.
I think hexed meshes over at fxforce has a bunch of modded demon meshes, some without wings, horns or tail. If not it would pretty easy to remove them in Blender, resizing to the the right giant size. Maybe using one of the human torches fx skin effects on it for the flames.
I thought I had posted about the kf question , but it either didn't take or its somewhere on a wrong thread.
We can either try skoping some giant smash-down attacks into the kf to see if they're compatable, or try rigging the mesh to a set of giant-size kfs. I think that he would lose his ball and chain attacks that way though. Does Thunderball from the Wrecking crew use the same kfs as AM? might look at those or some of the ones with whips to see if any usable animations are in them.
Thanks for the responses guys! Y'all are awesome. Let me address these individually.

There isn't anything that would fit super well. I suppose I'll use Fantasy Land as an Asgard substitute. It's got some of the same flavor. I'll hold out hope that there will one day be an Asgard map, though.

Awesome! Dana, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you're the man. That sounds perfect. It's mostly just got to sit around in cutscenes and look artifact-y, so this should work great.

Good 'ol Kenn X! That's perfect. At this point I shouldn't be surprised that there is an Alpha Primitive hex and skin, but I still am. How great! As for Surtur, I would DEFINITELY love a look at this Walt Simonson-esque version of the big guy.

Yeah, that's more or less what I've got in mind for AM, some giant-type animations. What I'd really like is a good stomp, something that looks like he's swatting at a flying character, and some general animations that tend to angle downward to reflect him being huge. I've got him around 30 feet right now, but I may go up to 60. I can't figure out what his base animations are, so I haven't been able to find any giant keys that are compatible. I've skoped off his ball and chain to make it easier to find something that will work, but still no luck. Gren's Giant Man keys work, but they stretch him out like crazy.

Hey, that's a good idea too. Yeah, they certainly fit the "demon" portion of the description, don't they? I could probably use them as is....hmm....

I think that Thunderball does indeed use the same kfs. I'll be happy with a giant-sized version of AM that can use the excellent skins that come with Gren's mesh. Those are my priorities. The right keys and the right skins. Other than that, I'm open to options.
Thanks guys, y'all are amazing, as always!

No problem, B...I'll send it to you, the only thing that needs to be done is to make sure the textures (which I'll send along too) are in the main Area_specific\
_textures folder or in whatever texture folder you'll need for the map you're using for that mission (otherwise it will be pink...LOL).

I'll take a look when I get home and see what I can do with the kfs

Easiest thing might be to just take an existing giant mesh and copy the skins over.
It'd be nice to keep the ball and chain anims though
Dana, In regards to a base map - Could you take the tower map from FF, the one up in the clouds, and remove the entire tower? Then you could replace it with some ground, put some viking buildings, towers and statues on it and work from there. Maybe change the lighting on the clouds to a dark blue. The rainbow bridge could lead off to a portal at the end.
I think it might be do-able.
I haven't looked at Pan's Island for awhile - did it have clouds around the edge? I know you or someone did a deep space map and a cloud map as well.

Short answer, RD...Yes, it can be done. Will it come out the way I want it to...probably not. I
have been building new map terrains lately with existing maps (like the mountain and island terrain maps I put together)...But I don't have a lot of time, especially in less than two weeks when school starts up again. Plus...I have far too many other FF projects going on right now too.
Conduit made some space maps and Gengoro did the cloudy sky map...Valandar also did a space map, I believe.
Dana
Thanks for the reply Dana. I know the feeling of being to busy.
No problem, RD...I have at least 6 map projects, several Skopes and at least 4 mod projects going...Not too mention a lot going on in RL too...Whew!
Dana
OK, Benton, I'm sending you a giant Absorbing Man mesh. I was able to scale it larger and keep the normal animation speed (he's currently Time Master size). I also borrowed an area stomp, melee ground smash, and melee stomp from the old MHV series of Gren's meshes. Although, there is no mesh distortion with the added animations, the ball and chain doesn't exactly move all that well (it does stay in his hand, at least). Let me know what you think.
Edit: I used Gren's original Absorbing Man and not his collaboration with Renegade (Absorbing_Man_Tall)
Here's a look at my Surtur skin, Benton. I always liked Walt Simonson's rendition, so I had made this for myself a little while ago. I updated him a bit.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/hoss20/Surtur_sword.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/hoss20/Surtur_2.jpg)
Let me know if you're interested.
Can you release this? I know I'm interested
I've posted my Surtur skin to my Yahoo group (address is below). It's in my Skins section. Benton, I'll be presumptuous and send it your way. I hope you like it, and as with the old DCU mod, I'd be honored if you use anything of mine. Of course, I won't be offended if you don't. :P
Also, I'm VERY happy that my altered Absorbing Man fit the bill for you.
Hoss, I love it! Yeah, I am DEFINITELY interested. Your presumption is welcomed Hoss, and thanks so much for your willingness to pitch in! Yeah, those animations were the ones I really needed, and I was able to tweak the animation speed thanks to your modifications, making them suitable for a giant without being uber slow.
Howdy guys, I know Heimdall has been done, but I can't find him on the master mesh list. Does anyone know where he can be found?
should be in one of grens yahoo groups
You can find it here, Benton: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes6/files/
Alright gents, most of my Asgardian requests have been fulfilled in excellent fashion. I was just getting back to my Marvel mod after a bit of job related distraction, and all this talk about the Guardians of the Galaxy has given me an itch to do a very minor something with them. What is out there for the original Guardians? I know I've seen Yondu someplace, but I don't know the others well enough to remember seeing them. I'm looking for:
Vance Astro
Charlie 27
Martinex
Yondu
Starhawk
Nikki
Gren has versions of all of the above here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes14/files/ (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes14/files/). Laughing Paradox did skins for Vance Astro, Yondu, Starhawk, and Nikki here:http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/marvel---2.php (http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/marvel---2.php). I believe they are all for the Grenadier meshes.
Well heck, one-stop shopping! Thanks Devilance!

*disappears in a blast of bubbles*
Well, Gren redid everybody, but all that stuff is temporarily lost to the ether at Champions. I'd send you all that I have, but I lost everything a few weeks ago. In the meantime:
Vance Astro - LP did a skin for Gren's mesh, but I imagine it will fit on any male_basic type
Charlie 27 - DeathsJester and Zuludelta have skins for male-heavy on their Yahoo sites
Martinex - the only other one I know is available besides Gren's is from Vertex, but his site is in limbo along with Champions
Yondu - Beyonder has one http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/BYD_hero_meshes/files/ and DeathsJester has a skin on his Yahoo site
Starhawk - Gni has a mesh here http://gamesource.groups.yahoo.com/group/gnimeshes/
Nikki - Tommyboy has one at his site and LP is hosting a skope he and I collaborated on (w/his skin)
LP has all of Gren's meshes skinned here: http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/
He also has an Aleta skope and skin made there.
Edit: That's what I get for taking so long to research where everything was. Devilance beat me to the punch. :lol:
Edit2: LP actually only previewed his Martinex and Charlie 27 skins to me and hasn't released them yet. I just sent you Gren's new Charlie 27 mesh with the skin that LP had sent to me.
By the way, thanks, Devilance. I had only looked on Gren's 15 and 16 Yahoo groups for all of his new stuff. I didn't realize he had posted stuff to his 14th group, as well. I can continue to rebuild my collection now.
For the GotG origianls:
I did a Vance Astro long time back along with Charlie-27, Yondu and Starhawk. Not sure where they are at. Actually mgiht just redo the whole team just fot eh fun of it....depends on how much you beg and plead for it!
begs and pleads for bentongrey. :thumbup:
Grenadier created all six characters as meshes, which I skinned.
Champions of Freedom is down, unfortunately, but I have all six meshes/skins.
(http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h137/excelsior420/gotg-1.png)
Seeing those skins now make me want to redo Nikki. Maybe just a facelift.
I can send them to you, if you'd like. I just need your email.
Wow LP! They look awesome. I'd love to have them. Please send them to username@yahoo.com.
Ohh, I almost forgot! I need the Badoon! Has anyone done them?
Well, I've been kicking this one around for a while, but I've decided that I need some help. In my Fantastic Four campaign the Fab Four take on the Mole Man and his Moloid army, but the trouble is, the Moloids are so freaking weak. I'm trying to stay relatively comic accurate, but these guys, even with me fudging things a bit, are completely helpless against the Thing, and are only a minor threat to Mr. Fantastic. Sue and Johnny can both fly, so these mooks can't even touch them. What I really need to make this mission more interesting is a way to give the Moloids a bit more of a bite. I was hoping someone might skope a hi-tech rifle or pistol onto Tommy's Moloid for me, and perhaps skin the resultant creation. Any takers?
:EDIT: Curses, the Alpha Primitives in the latter missions have the same problem. I also need them armed with some sort of weapon.
I *think* that the Badoon were on the list of races that hadn't been done yet. I think that thread is about a year old now.
The Moloids aren't very useful out in the open. They're much better in cramped conditions where they can crowd tight around the thing, hang on to him, and generally limit his use of his strength. Same for Reed & Johnny, especially if they have places they can jump onto a flying Torch from. At best they're a subdual, delaying force. They're almost never going to take a hero down on their own.
For some reason, I can only picture Alpha Primitives wielding weapons that have a very Kirby-esque look to them. ;)

Haha, DJ, I had missed your post. Well, we've got some excellent versions of the GoG thanks to LP, but we can never have too many awesome skins! I'd love to see your take on them, DJ.
As for the Badoon...well, if they don't exist, I suppose I can use Unko's Gordanians from the DCUG. I think they'd work alright. Anyone have any suggestions for the Monster of Badoon? What might work for him?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/82/Monster_of_Badoon.jpg/220px-Monster_of_Badoon.jpg
PG, that's true about the Moloids, and I've given them relatively accurate designs, but the trouble is that it makes for pretty lousy gameplay. I've got some subterranean monsters to back them up, and they can keep the Thing busy, but there are pretty much no threats for the fliers. I think what I may do is just give them a spear throw, using the built-in FX. That would work reasonably well. I'd like to give them a jump attack, a-la the raptors, to emulate how they always piled on Johnny to pull him down. Sadly, they don't have the requisite KFs.
I do need some armed Alpha Primitives, though. Any takers on that? I'm thinking that a stripped down version of the Bishop mesh might work well for them, or perhaps the Cable mesh. Cable's rifle would look about right for Inhuman tech. I know what you mean PG, these guys are so very Kirby-esq.

I was just about to suggest this very thing as I was reading about the spear throw! I think it would work quite well with some sort of grapple/gravity max combo attack. Do the raptors have a special jump kf that they use for that attack, or is it just the standard jump? I'd be a little surprised if the moloids didn't have some kind of jump kf, unless it was a custom mesh, and required custom kf's to be created. The mesh isn't compatible with other kf's, is it? No way to copy it from another set of kf's, is there?
The raptors have an actual melee animation that includes a jump, and that's the catch. The Moloids have a jump, which would work okay, but it doesn't have a contact entry. I know how to do some basic editing of kfs in Nifskope, but I'm not sure about adding in a contact entry. Does anyone know of a basic tutorial?
It's actually pretty simple (I think :unsure:). I'll download the Moloid mesh and see what I can do. Would you like me to add a spear or something to the mesh itself?
If you could, Hoss, that would be fairly awesome. Thanks man!
I've already got a stripped down Bishop mesh, as well as a stripped down Cable mesh, but the weapons skins are the standards that came with the meshes.
I also have an Alpha Primitive for both Male_Heavy and Male_Basic by Flash_22798.
Also, I believe that C6 skinned the Alpha Primitives as well, you may want to check his Yahoo Groups.
Yep CB, the one I've got is a C6 skin. Who skinned the Cable and Bishop meshes? If they were done by C, he might let me just mix and match.
Unfortunately, it looks like both were done by Ink, but I'm sure there are probably C6 versions floating around somewhere.
Well, perhaps I'll get lucky and someone will volunteer to skin these poor souls.
On the plus side, I just threw together some slightly updated versions of the Moloids with a spear throw, gave the monsters an acid spit, and ran the whole thing through the AI generator. It has created a much more entertaining mission. If Hoss can get a raptor-like melee jump working, I imagine it will really change the mission.
I'll send you what I have, then all you'll need is the weapons skinned.
Thanks CB!
I don't know if this one of the ones you have, Cyber, but here is an Alpha Primitive hex by KennX with a skin by C6: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Whatever_happened_to_Ken/files/Marvels/
It really captures the feel of their classic look.
Benton, how high do you want these Moloids to be able to jump? I know in FFEdit you can actually adjust the range for a melee attack which will have to be done so the attack will be available to attack someone in the air. Can't you set melee attacks for "Airborn Targets Only" or something? Also, the actual distance covered by the jump animation is only (in game dimensions) a couple of feet, so setting it as a ranged attack (like flying_melee) won't work either. Lastly, the standard jump action actually involves two separate animations (jump and land_from_jump). I added a contact to the jump animation and it works, but once the the contact is made in mid-air, the Moloid just reappears back on the ground. I have found a good jumping melee animation in Valandar's Acrobatic keyframes, added it to the Moloid keyframes, and it looks pretty decent.
So, let me know what ideas you guys have and I'll try to get this done.
Yep, that's the one I actually had to start with Hoss.
How high should they be able to jump? Well, the raptor pounce attack actually has a minimum range of 3 and a maximum of 2. I'm not quite sure what to do with that. I'll have to figure out the best settings by trial and error. Yes, you can tag an attack as "Dinosaur Melee" and "Airborne Only." I'm fairly certain that the combination allows for grounded characters to attack flying ones. I used that setup in the DCUG to good effect. The acrobatic keyframe attack sounds pretty cool. Why don't we go with that?
Hey Benton, you've got Cable's Keys in your mailbox.
Here's my Moloid skope. I added a loincloth, as well, as my old Marvel Handbook shows them with one. I did this skin, but I'll send the one that Tommy did also, in case you don't like mine. The animations I added (melee_jump, spear_thrust, a left-handed punch, and spear_throw) I kind of had to settle for as it was hard finding compatible keyframes that fit what I was trying to do. All of the new keys also stretch him a little bit, as they were made for male_basic. Thoughts and ideas are welcome.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/hoss20/Moloid_skope.png)
Wow Hoss, that's a really nice skin. I think that will do splendidly! He looks great....well, for a weird, squinty-eyed critter from the center of the earth. I don't have any really useful ideas on the kf problems, but depending on how bad the stretching is, it might not really be an issue. Thanks for tackling this for me Hoss. I think this will make the Mole Man's mission a lot better. :D
Thanks CB! I'm all set on the skope. Now I just need a skin that I'll be allowed to release with the mod. Speaking of which, here's the updated list of my requests:
Badoon soldiers/officers
http://www.comicvine.com/badoon/65-22907/all-images/108-194970/ba5/105-490729/
Alpha Primitives with hi-tech gun: I've got a skope, but I need a skin.
http://marvel.wikia.com/Alpha_Primitives
Dr. Don Blake skope/skin: A skin of civilian male would be cool, but a skope with his walking stick would be even more awesome. The staff from the wizard mesh would work perfectly.

The Alpha Primitives are the real priority.

Hey Hoss, check this thread for help with the stretching issues on your skope, it's over my head, but it might help.
Well, I used Tommyboy's Moloid which by all appearances looks like a male_basic with different body parts being scaled down and having their positions altered to give that short, subterranean look. The only issue I have with the stretching are with the new animations I've added to the existing keyframes. What you've referenced, Cyber, is the whole mesh being stretched when you apply a complete set of keyframes from another mesh type. Now, that being said, I originally tried putting the Moloid mesh onto the Male_Basic_Staff mesh because the animations were great for a spear-wielding character, but the Moloid grew to regular size when I did this (losing all of it's underground dwelling charm). Using the tutorial in the thread (thanks, Cyber), now I can try to do this and adjust the Moloid back to it's deformed self. It will be worth the effort. Wish me luck!

C6 has both a Bishop and a Cable skin here, maybe you could see if he'll let you mix and match for the mod.
Good suggestion CB, the message is sent.
Ohh, by the way, I remember someone releasing tons of awesome Kree soldiers way back when, who was that? Anyone know where I can find them?
I believe it was either Gren or C6.
Whoops, I actually had them stored in my archives.

Haha, I guess I'm going senile. It's sad when you have to be referred back to your own thread. Thanks Pres. I remember getting that Shatterax, but I could have sworn someone (and I thought it was Gren) previewed a Shatterax a while back...but I'm not beginning to think I made that up. I think I may have conflated Korath and Shatterax in my mind. We never did find a Dr. Minerva, huh?
You know to be honest, it may sound crazy but I kinda felt like I've seen Shatterax preview as well. Who knows, it might have got lost in one those times FR was down.
I think someone did a Dr Minerva skin some time back but I don't remember who...been some time though if it was done.
Yeah DJ, I've got a herofile that references one, but I have never seen the skin. I would like to have her in the mod, so I suppose I should add her to my list.
On an unrelated note, has anyone ever done Man-Ape's more recent costume? His original costume is a bit on the goofier side, with the bare legs and all, but I'm thinking I'm going to have the Lethal Legion make a brief appearance. If there is a version of him with the more modern costume, I wouldn't mind using it.

Gren made Man-Ape with that costume on the Champions site :)
Thanks Spydermann, but Grenn's Man-Ape is the classic costume. I was just curious if anyone had made the one where he's got a more complete ape suit. :)
Doctor Minerva...sent via e-mail.
Thanks CB! I'm afraid I don't have mesh she goes on, though. Does anyone have female_alchemisshair? That mesh's link on the Master Mesh List is a dead end.
Benton: try this link for female_alchemisshair http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Fusionmeshes5/files/ I just tried it and it worked.
I found a Shatterax skin here: http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/ffskins_sceptre/files/ I had a little trouble accessing the site, so let me know and I can send you the file. Also, it's made for the old Grim Reaper mesh (because of the head piece). I had skoped a Shatterax a little while ago and kibashed the skin to make it fit for my own use, but if you don't mind waiting a little bit, I can redo the skope and make a skin. I lost all of my stuff on my laptop hard drive, so I have to recreate a bunch of stuff I didn't save elsewhere. Lastly, I tried to make the Moloid skope work on the male_basic_staff mesh, but couldn't do it. I was able to make it fit in Nifskope, but because I was doing more than just scaling pieces, I was getting too much distortion when it moved. The tutorial referenced previously works fine for scaling pieces, but when dealing with moving pieces along the x, y, and z axes, it's a whole different ball game. So, I'm going to send you what I have. The mesh doesn't really distort with the couple of animations I added, it merely grows to male_basic size for the action.
Cyber: would you mind sending me that Dr Minerva skin? I think we've shared some stuff in the past, but I'll PM you my e-mail address, just in case.
Hey Hoss, thanks! For some reason, the link I clicked on in the Master Mesh list took me to a Yahoo group that had been taken over by the unsavory elements of the internet...the kind Prev. frequents...
Anwyay, I actually have that Shatterax, but I was under the impression that someone had previewed a new one. I'm becoming convinced that I really am imagining things, though. As for your skoped version, I am DEFINITELY interested man! I've got plenty of time, and I would love to see your take on the character.
I got your moloid skope/skin, and you did a fantastic job. Great work, and really nice choices on the animations. I see what you mean about the size change, though. What if we just took a male_basic sized mesh to start with, skoped the Moloid's eyes and loin-cloth, and your spear onto it, and then skoped it down to Moloid size? I'm not super concerned about the proportions, really. Do you think that would work?
I can definitely do that. I just wanted to try to keep the kind of bent and crooked subterranean look that Tommy was able to achieve. I may be able to keep that if I scale down the individual pieces (spine, pelvis, thigh, calf, etc) rather than scaling down the whole mesh. Let me give it a shot, otherwise I can scale down everything and send it.
That sounds like a plan. I'm sure that whatever you come up with will be great. :)
It's on its way. Let me know what you think.

Ohh man, that's just plain perfect Hoss! I just tested them out, and not only do they look great (great skin, as well as a cool skope), their animations help make them more interesting opponents. Their jumping attacks work perfectly now, meaning they can even be a threat to the Torch! Thanks man, they're awesome!
Thanks Cyber and you're very welcome, Benton. I'm glad you like it. I'm working on Shatterax now.
I did Man-Ape but he's the old costume...haven't seen his newer costume before.

What Wizard mesh are you referring to for this Benton? Would Tommyboy's Riddler mesh be a decent place to start?
I suppose the one I am thinking of is actually called the sorcerer mesh. I also have one that is a Highfather hex, highfather_sorcerer. I think a Riddler might work well as a base, though. How about Ink's RiddlerTAS? He's smaller and more unassuming.
I'm looking at Heroforce and see a Riddler by Ink, but no Riddler_TAS. Could you send me that and the Highfather mesh? I'll see what I can do in regards to the skope.
Sure, thanks CB! I think his Riddler is the same I'm using, though I'm not sure.
(http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/Cyber_Burn_33/civilian_male_cane_v2.jpg)
I shrunk and re-positioned the cane. This is on the regular male_civilian mesh. I also have one for Ink's Riddler if you want to compare the two.
Hey, that looks great CB. Do you think you could put a wood texture on the cane?
Okay, I've run up against a really tough story organization problem in my Avengers campaign, and I'm going to attempt to solve it with an interactive cutscene, but that's going to require art assets I don't have. Does anyone happen to know if there exists a mesh/skin/skope that might serve for an Asian (Vietnamese) priestess, holy woman, or nun? Is there anything that might work for Asian natives and villagers?
(http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/Cyber_Burn_33/civilian_male_cane_v3.jpg)
The mapping is a bit difficult for me, but how's this?
I think that there's a VX_Monk floating around somewhere, otherwise, I'm not sure.
That's perfect CB! I think I've got a Donald Blake, now. :D
Yep, I'm actually using the monk for something else, but if I'm going to do what I have in mind, I need a female.

Would one of the Mantis skins/skopes/meshes work? Tommyboy and Laughing Paradox both have one.

i know that cyber likes to scope from tommyboys stuffage, so would his lizard mesh be good for the baddoon? just remove the tail and all the extras?
I could strip it down, but I don't know if it would produce the desired result.
Thanks CB! Thanks for the suggestion Amazo. I think I'll use Unko's Gordanians for Badoon guys at the moment. They should serve well enough. I don't think that the Lizard would play well with gun keys.
It's funny you should suggest Mantis, CB, as the woman I'm trying to find an art asset for is Mantis' mother. Is there anything out there that looks like one of the Chinese martial artists from Kung-Fu films?

I remembered SCD doing a ton of awesome looking martial arts ladies a little while ago. They're all wearing different types of clothing, as well, if I remember correctly. I think they're all there.
The Shatterax skope is done, by the way. I just have to hunker down and finish skinning it.
Hey Hoss, good suggestion. I bet I could use a Chun-Li skin/skope. That would probably work out alright. Perhaps I can talk SCD into doing a slight modification to one of his skins.
Awesome, there's no hurry, but I definitely look forward to seeing Shatterax!
Hey guys, does anyone have C6's most recent Iceman skins? I don't know if he ever released them, but I know I saw them previewed with some nice X-Men sets...
The one that was included in his recent x-pack? I THINK I might have it. Let me check, kiddo.
Thanks Prev, that's one of the packs I as talking about, but I finally tracked down an image of exactly what I'm looking for. You uploaded the classic pack, and I suppose I'm looking for the new costume pack, third from the top in this list of pictures:

All those skins are in these two Yahoo groups.
Awesome, those do exist! Thanks LP, I thought you hadn't created those yet.
Okay, gang (and Benton, of course), here's the Shatterax skope. It took forever because there were so many pieces and I really wanted the skin to look cohesive so that the skope wouldn't just look like a mesh with pieces pasted onto it.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/hoss20/Shatterax_skope-1.jpg)
I combined some of the Iron Man keys from Tommyboy's Iron_Man_Mk20 (which I used as the base mesh) with some others, just for a little variety.
Wow Hoss! He looks fantastic! I do believe that's one of your best skins! That's a great, detailed skope, too. Great work man. I can't wait to get my hands on him!
Wow hoss that looks really great.
Very impressive Hoss.
Thank you all very much. Even though there weren't a ton of reference pictures available for Shatterax, he still seemed to be wearing something a bit different (at least, color-wise) in all of them. So, hopefully, this is the popular configuration.
Benton, it's on its way to you.
Thanks again. I'm glad all of the work was worth it.
It's fantastic Hoss, thanks so muich for taking this request on! This is definitely one of your best skins, and the skope itself is great. Also, the keyframes are perfect fits, so you hit it out of the park in all categories!
On another note folks, I've got a small request. Can anyone make me a portrait of Tony Stark in his civilian identity, preferably from relatively classic comics?
Do you have a specific pic in mind?
Nope, I couldn't find a good one. Really, anything that looks like Tony without the mullet from the 80's and 90's would be fine.
Edit: You have mail.

I should have Ultimo somewhere on my back-up drive.
As for the Death Squad, I believe I have a Samurai with somewhat the same textures as they do, just a different, living face.
I'll see what I have :)
Also, I seriously cannot wait for this to be released. I'm a big fan of your mods and they have never disappointed in story, balance, gameplay, fun, and content.
EDIT: Yep, turns out that I do have a Samurai mesh/skin (by Zuludelta) that would fit perfectly with the Death Squad; they just need a new face (if it's permissible to change the mesh/skin).

John Jr. has one at FRP2:
http://frp.unlimited2.net/skopes/
AA also has a very nice one at Hero Force (http://heroforce.freedomforceforever.com/). I'm thinking John Jr's may fit your mod better, though, as he has more of an "old school" look.
I could do one over this weekend if you can wait?
Sure! I don't need it for testing, and I certainly won't be able to release a full version before then anyway. That's awesome AA, thanks!
Howdy guys, I'm looking for a skoper to do some minor work for me in the Marvel mod. I just need someone to relocate/create weapon nodes for a few different meshes that are giving me trouble. I'm trying to wrap things up, and it would help me if I didn't have to worry with this type of detail stuff.
I don't have anything planned for the weekend and I'd be happy to help. I'll PM you my e-mail.
Howdy guys! I have tried using the built-in fire elemental for Asgardian fire demons, but their limited animations made that a losing proposition. What else is out there that might work for them?
Maybe something could be skoped out of Gren's IG_Starbolt (I think that's the flaming one).
That would be interesting! I'm sure there's something about already that would work, though....I'm just not sure what it might be.
Here are a couple of ideas to mull over. The first is Valandar's Balrog with the original Daemon skin put on it. I changed the fire file, but otherwise it's already set. It is large in stature, so we'd have to shrink it down closer to human size. The second is Val's Orc_Troll with the standard skin from his Mephisto plunked in there (no kitbashing needed). I can add FX to it if desired. Of course, adjustments can be made, skin wise, to each of these.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/hoss20/FireDemon_winged_zps008a2a8e.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/hoss20/FireDemon_zpsd7b9ed05.jpg)
Not to influence your mod, but from what I remember and the few images that I could find regarding Muspelheim's fire demons, they aren't quite the forces of nature that Surtur is (no flame sheath, that is) and look a bit more like the second pic from above. Of course, there's nothing wrong with flaming demons or a combination of the two or three to fill your demon horde.
Thanks Hoss! I think that burning daemon-esq mesh should work pretty darn well. Could you send him my way?
It's been sent, my friend.
Howdy folks, I've just read the Serpent Crown arc of the Avengers, so I've developed a hankerin' to throw the Squadron Supreme at the Mighty Assemblers. I know LP did an amazing job with most of them, and I've got all I could find on his site. I already found:
Hyperion
Power Princess
Dr. Spectrum
Arcana
Blue Eagle
Whizzer
Lady Lark
I still need:
Amphibian
Golden Archer
Tom Thumb
Skrull Skymax
according to the master skin list, courtnal6's squadron supreme is here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Courtnall6_skins3/
i know that tommyboy has a golden archer at his site in the marvel section
flash22798 has a few squadron members at one of his yahoo groups, including tom thumb. not sure which group thouhg
and i believe that fusion has a skymax mesh, possibly located here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Fusionmeshes4/ (according to c6's read me file)
and that should cover them all
Amphibian and Black Archer are here: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Grenadiermeshes14/files
The only Golden Archer I've seen is the one mentioned by Amazo.
Voodoo Chemist has a Tom Thumb here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Voodoo-Chemist_skins/files/Skins/
I had created a Skrullian Skymax skope awhile ago based on Ren's Martian Manhunter, but with LP's multiple hard drive crashes over the years, he never got around to skinning it. I currently have C6's skin on it, which makes it look pretty good. I can't recall if I needed to do any kitbashing to make it fit the skope, so I would be happy to do an inferior skin myself, if you'd like. I'd also be happy to preview it here, so you can decide if you would have any interest in it.
Benton could you point me to the issue with the battle between avengers and squadron supreme? I'm afraid i haven't read it yet and this is something i always wanted.
Thanks guys, that's a big help!
Jim, it's a bit odd, as there are fill-in issues before the resolution, but it runs thusly: 141-144 and 147-149. The storyline continues, but the Squadron is out after that point.
Hmm, apparently I still need Gren's Power Princess and Arcana, as I can't find them in his Yahoo groups.
Benton, I just sent you both of them. They were later creations, so I don't think they made it to Gren's personal Yahoo group. I went to look on the Champions Yahoo sites that were created, but when I click on File or Gren's folder, I get an "Invalid Path" message. I have no idea what Yahoo is doing with their new layout, but I can't stand it. I can't even arrange my own groups in alphabetical order without dragging them all into place. If I missed an easier way, someone please tell me. I feel like an idiot.
Ahh, thanks Hoss! :D
Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with that.

I thought ctrl+f would work (scroll through the list), but nope! Nadda. It highlights the group, but it does not take you to the group (scrolling to it, I mean).
Benton does that mean that you are planning to expand your MA soon? Maybe Christmas is a bit earlier this year, no? :P :P :P
Haha, sorry Jim, but not quite yet. Eventually, though, and I'm thinking the Squadron will likely play a role when I do.

Hey, has anyone ever made an FX for Power Princess' shield?
Awesome CB, I'm glad to hear that! I think an Avengers/Squadron conflict has tons of potential in FF. I mean, it's basically an Avengers/JLA fight. You know, I can't believe that the Marvel writers managed to make such enduring, well-designed characters for their unofficial crossover, but the DC crew really fumbled the ball. I don't think their erstwhile "Avengers" ever showed up again, did they?

Gren included shield FX with his mesh. I can't remember, but I think I had to mess with either the mesh shield or the FX shield to make it more see through, like the comics.
D'oh! You're right!
So folks, being easily influenced as I am, I now find myself looking for Nova. What exists for his classic incarnation? It seems like one of our veteran skinners had done a bunch of his looks, (I thought it was Pod) but I can't find him.
I know that there's a mesh by Syn at FRP2: http://frp.unlimited2.net/meshes/
There was one by Murs at the Champions site, but I'm not sure if it's loaded anywhere, I think I have it, so if no one else hooks you up today, I'll check my files tonight for you.
There was one by Bobby69: I don't have the link handy, but I might have that as well.
Tommyboy did one, it's at his site in the Marvel section.
And I did one or two, located in one of my Yahoo Groups.
Also, I believe there are some older versions by Death's Jester, I would have to check my back - up disks to be sure though.
Nova???? Benton you are making my week even better. First the SS now one of my top 5 Marvel Heroes. Well if you are looking for New Warriors nova syn's mesh is not a very good idea since it depicts his nova prime status. But in my personal opinion and no offense but syn's mesh is better than's tommyboy's. Are you cooking some new warriors Benton?
I believe that syn's mesh is hexxable/skopable to make different versions. it would just require someone to skin whatever version is wanted
Thanks CB, as always, you're the man. :D That Syn mesh looks pretty cool. I'm THINKING that it must have been Murs' skin that I was remembering, but I'll check out some of those other options too. If anyone has Murs' version, please do send it my way.
Ha, well I'm glad my wild hares prove interesting to you, Jim! :lol: I'm afraid I know nothing about the New Warriors, so don't count on seeing me do anything with them any time soon, but I have encountered Nova in a few places. I enjoyed reading the Marvel Adventures: Avengers book with him in it, and he's just showed up in that Fantastic Four story I was talking about. I don't know much about him, but I thought that he might be fun to add into my mix. I have no real plans for him at the moment. If you're a big fan, why not whip up a short adventure for him within Marvel Adventures, Jim? :)

You've got mail! :D
As for DJ's skins, I'll go through my disks as soon as I can, at least , I'm pretty sure they were done by DJ. Nova has always been a favorite of mine, and was the reason I started reading the "New Warriors" back in the day.
Bobby69's Nova is here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Bobby69meshes7/files/
If you're going for the classic look, this mesh fits the bill.
C6 has a couple of skins here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Courtnall6_skins2/files/ and here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Courtnall6_skins4/files/
I know that one of them is classic Nova.
Well can't hide my self can i? Nova has always been a favorite of mine since i got my hands one an Amazing Spider-man comic feautring him. I really like his evolutio being a kid from Long Island to last survivor of an intergalactic force and the change it caused in his persona.
QuoteIf you're a big fan, why not whip up a short adventure for him within Marvel Adventures, Jim? :)
If i understand correctly Benton since English insn't my native language you ask me to come around a short adventure for nova? Like creating one? Well i am afraid i don't have the know-how to do it :o. Beleive if i did you would see a campaign with him along with Rocket Raccoon wreaking havok upon some Badoon scums :D
Thanks Hoss, that 69 version does look really nice. Does anyone know of any skopped keys for it that feel a bit more like Nova? The animations are beautiful, as VX's always are, but I'm wondering if anyone has customized them some.
Jim, I have to say, the character has piqued my interest. I've got the vol. 1 collection ordered. :)
That's right, Jim, why not try your hand at EZScript. As I always say, if I can do it, anyone can do it. Give it a shot one day. It isn't too hard to create simple missions. I've got some guides, to which I will post some links, but the instructions that come with all of my mods (written by M25) are pretty great by themselves. Try out a small, simple mission, and maybe one day you'll find yourself telling the stories you've always wanted to tell. After all, the DCUG grew out of my desire to see Batman stories with Dick Grayson. Eventually I fooled around enough and experimented enough to stumble into seven campaigns and zillions of characters.

Doing More with EZScript:
http://bentongrey.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/doing-more-with-ezscript/
I've added the flying_melee animations to mine, both the standard and super fast ones. What type of animations did you have in mind? I'd be happy to see if I could jumble something together for you. Are some speedster animations appropriate, like the arm cyclone or area whirlwind? His speed is primarily while flying, right?
Doesn't he do sort of a Cannonball thing when he flies? Flying melee is definitely fitting, at least. I don't know too much about what he can do.
QuoteDoesn't he do sort of a Cannonball thing when he flies?
I guess you could say it so Benton although Nova is one of the fastest fliers around Marvel Universe able to outrun even cosmic beings. Cannonball's flight is based on thermo-chemical propulsion whereas nova uses the nova force bestowed upon him. Now if you are looking for Bronze age nova that appeared in many spiderman's adventures he is considerably weaker since he uses only a portion of nova force. So his flight, invulnerability and enrgy projection skills are far lower than those of nova prime. Still he is called the human rocket for a reason :D :D. Air superiority is a must for every era nova. I suspect you gonna tinker with normal nova and if that's the case i would be happy to provide any info you will need.
If you'd like, Benton, I could just plunk the Nova69 mesh into the Nova_v_syn mesh to give him the force shield and trail when he flies. Also, Nova69 includes wristbands, which are overtop of the skinned on wristbands, but they aren't skinned. Would you like me to hide them? Right now, they just show black because they weren't skinned in the Extras art file.
Ohh, now that sounds very interesting, Hoss! Would it be too much to ask for you to send me two flavors, one with just the nova69's keys edited for the flying melee and one with it pasted over the top of syn's mesh? I'd like to see both options, mess around with them a bit. As for the wristbands, yes, I think hiding them would be best.
Jim, thanks, I will take you up on that!
if you're still interested in nova, one of cyber's nova skopes has a rocket trail, it's based off of tommyboys red tornado mesh.
also if you're interested, I am putting together a nuke skope from the squadron supreme just so I can have particle emitters/fx coming from the hands. i would need someone to skin it if anyone is willing, but i am more than willing to share my skope, its one of the few that i am liking how it is turning out. its still a wip, but its not based on fusions mesh, so its skopable and releaseable.
Sorry it took so long, Benton. Here's my Skrullian Skymax. The skope is on Ren's Martian Manhunter so that he can use the phasing animations when he goes invisible.

Forgot to respond to this. I have skinned Nova once, but only one of his newer looks (New Warriors volume 3 costume).
Spyder, that is beautiful! Great work, man, on both the skin and the skope!
So, I've been sort of out of touch, as we've been having work done on our house, and I haven't had internet access at home this week. To further complicate matters, I've just set my computer back up, and apparently my keyboard doesn't work! (I'm currently on the wife's laptop.) I'm not sure how sitting in the closet for a week somehow broke the little port in my motherboard, but it stinks out loud. :( Anyway, I haven't been able to respond and keep up with stuff on the boards much, so I apologize if someone posted something and I haven't responded yet.
Amazo, those sound cool, man.
On another note, I watched The Wolverine this week, and I have a sudden urge to gather Hand Ninjas and the Silver Samurai. I think C6 did a really beautiful skin for the Samurai, but I could be conflating that. What's out there for those folks?
If i recall correct gren didi a silver samurai and CB created some hand ninja batches. I can send them to you right away if you wish.
My Hand Ninjas are located here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cyber_burn_33_ffvttr_files/ - They are in the "Skopes and Hexes" Section. If you want one of my Hand Ninjas skoped onto a mesh with a certain weapon, or to be able to use certain animations, let me know, I'd be glad to do it for you.
Style has an awesome Hand skope located here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Styles_skopes/ - Look for the file titled: "The_Hand"
Gren's Silver Samurai mesh is located here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Grenadiermeshes4/
C6's Silver Samurai skin is located here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Courtnall6_skins3/
Another Silver Samurai skin by C6 located here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Champions_of_Freedom_3/ - Possibly an update
I thought there was another one, but I can't seem to find it right now.
Thanks guys, this should give me what I need for preliminary work. I'm not looking to create a campaign out of this yet or anything, but I'll remember that offer CB!
Sheesh, CB, you really went all-out on the Hand, didn't you? Talk about an embarrassment of riches, this is ridiculously awesome! :D I love having a variety of minions, and you've created tons. Thanks man!
Can anyone send me deadpool_muscular's keys, though? I can't find him on the Master Mesh List.
:Edit: Also, I'm getting error messages at the second C6 group. Does anyone have his newest Silver Samurai skin?
You've got mail Benton, both the newest "Silver_Samurai" skin by C6 and the keyframes for the "Deadpool_Muscular" mesh.
Excellent, thank you CB!
Also, my keyboard is magically working again! Weird, but nice!

It gets boring having the same minion coming after you over and over, having a variety makes things a little more enjoyable.
Benton, I just sent you my Skrullian Skymax. Let me know what you think.
Very nice, Hoss. I love the skope and skin. Both are excellent. :D
Howdy folks, what exists out there for Diamondhead?
http://www.comicvine.com/diamondhead/4005-2184/
You know, I was actually thinking about skoping/skinning Diamondhead and Condor a little while back, although I remember seeing a Condor somewhere.
Edit: Well, I just did a search and both can be found here: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Voodoo-Chemist_skins/files/Skins/

I'm certain that Condor was done by Blobula and should be on his site.
Not that you asked for this, Benton, or even wanted it, but here's a skope for Diamondhead. I used the GGX_Martinex_Gren mesh, added a Tommyboy turban to capture the more "diamond" top of the head the character has, and plugged in the wristbands, belt, and shoulder pieces. I also used Murs' newly released base skin for the body (I used C6's costume base for the arms due to the effect the meshes inherent gem facets have on how the skin appears).

Very nice Hoss
Wow! he looks great!
That is an extremely nice piece of work Hoss. :thumbup:
Great Diamondhead Hoss.
Thanks all. I greatly appreciate the positive feedback. When I get home, I'm going to try to do a little Blender work on the base mesh head. I really want to keep the crystalline look of the mesh and would like to get the head looking as it does in the comics. I never reinstalled Blender after my prior hard drive issues, but I think that this particular skope is calling for the adjustments that can be made with Blender.
Hoss!
Diamondhead looks so good! Great job on it.
Judging by the picture of your own version of Diamond Head himself Hoss, along with my comparison to the skin of Diamond Head himself that I have which I just downloaded the skin of himself from Voodoo-Chemist's Yahoo Group which is for the male crystal69 mesh that I also have that Diamond Head of yours which is your version and creation is awesome yet superior but most of all I even like the look, feel and texture of the character as well :thumbup:. It almost looks like that he's made out of crystal with a living crystal material combined :), and above all he's even made out of a diamond like based material or whatsoever along with his own crystalized self being made up of living microscopic crystals that are filled with a strange energy that actually made him come to life for the first time as well as made him move for the first time along with that ^_^. Even if my opinions and such are wrong on this one in this comment that I had just left for you and everyone to read Hoss :o, all I want to say is that your Diamond Head is so awesome and above all he's all about the bling bling if you know what I mean :D. Anyways Hoss, great job on Diamond Head and I do hope that you'll keep up the good work along with surprising with many more of your latest :ff: creations in the form of heroes and/or villains :lol:. Peace out, and I'll CUL8TR ;).
BigD
:cool:
Thanks, LP and BigD.
Here's the update I promised. I was able to manipulate the original mesh's head in Blender and am pretty happy with how it turned out. It looks much more like a "diamond" head now.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/hoss20/Diamondhead_skope_new_head_zps36233b6a.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/hoss20/media/Diamondhead_skope_new_head_zps36233b6a.jpg.html)
Not familiar with the character, but that's some nice Blender-wrangling right there!
I love how his biceps [and now the top of his head] have that blocky, diamond-y glint. Great attention to detail.
You can really see the difference between the two pics, nicely done Hoss.
I did a quick comparison between the two different pictures of Diamond Head himself :o, and just so you know Hoss and Cyber that the second picture in the form of the updated version of Diamond Head himself is much better than the last picture and the last version of Diamond Head himself :thumbup:. All I can say in my own words by myself to all of you guys out there reading this :lol:, I think the second yet updated version of Diamond Head himself in the form of the mesh deserves an A+ and a 100% rank along with a gold medal achievement for most improved and better looking mesh ^_^. Great job with the update so far :), and I do hope that more surprises in the form of updates depending on whether if its a mesh or a skin will come our way soon enough :D. Until we meet again, peace out and I'll CUL8TR ;).

All credit for the mesh shape goes to Grenadier. It's an awesome mesh. For the diamond sections, I just needed to decide on how bright to make the base skin and refl file so I didn't blind anybody. Even though I'm somewhat proud of the way the head turned out, it was only possible due to the original geometry provided by Grenadier.
Well since I didn't know about that for sure Hoss :mellow:, please let Grenadier know that he did a great job on the mesh shape and the geometry styling on the mesh whenever you get the chance for me :). Also :o, tell Grenadier that he deserves a superior good job big-time and furthermore let him know that I owe him a big thank you for what he had provided for you Hoss along with everyone else here ^_^. Until next time, Check ya later ;)!
BigD
:cool:
Can't wait to get him beaten up by my Nova :P.
How I miss Grenadier, everytime he returns to the community, you can just see how much his skills have grown as a mesher. I know that he had dropped hints of things that he had been working on, I would have loved to see a few of those finished. Tommyboy too, without his Versatile meshes, I would have never started skoping.
Gren, Tom, if you guys happen to read this, drop me a line, I would love to hear how things are going for you outside of FR.
Haha, ohh man Hoss, what a lovely surprise! I'm reading the original Nova books, and I just came across Diamond head recently and was thinking I'd like to throw him against the his nemesis. This skope and skin are just so cool! Diamondhead looks appropriately buff, and I love that grimace on his face. The skin itself is really bright and clean. This is a great piece, Hoss! :D Depending on how things shake out, this fellow may very well make an appearance in the next iteration of Marvel Adventures!
QuoteI'm reading the original Nova books, and I just came across Diamond head recently

The skin by Voodoo-Chemist was made to go on male_crystal69 by Bobby69...and thanks, Xenolith.
I first read this thread on my phone and missed that BigD already mentioned the Bobby69 mesh. Sorry I piped up for no reason!
Ah, no worries. I had actually originally thrown the skin on Gren's Martinex just to see how it would look before I downloaded the Bobby69 mesh. I just went with Martinex because he was a bit more bulky.
So gents, I'm thinking of a Gambit side mission for MA involving a group of villains hunting him for the Assassins' Guild. The trouble is, I need some assassins to fill out the roster. I have a few ideas, but I'd also like suggestions. First, what do we have available for:
- Boomerang
- Bullseye
- Domino
- Zaran
I'm mostly looking for second and third stringer villains.
On another note, I have a skoping request. Can anyone give AA's Mystique skope a grenade throw animation?
Thanks guys!

You'll probably want to nix Domino. Sure, she doubles as a mercenary or assassin here and there, but her main occupation is as a member of X-Force and, more recently, the X-Men. In other words, you'd be having Domino running a hit on a fellow teammate. Just felt I should point that out.
A fair point, Kk, but Domino always made more sense to me as a villain, and I don't care too much for 90s X books, outside of the Animated Series. :) If I can find some good replacements for her, I'll nix her.

Well, it's all one to me, my friend. I don't think I've read a single Marvel book (other than the
Adventures line) after the 90s. So, she's outside of my area of experience. My only real exposure to her is from Age of Apocalypse (read in TPB), and
Wolverine and the X-Men. She just looks like a villain to me. :)
1.Glad you read AoA. Honestly, I never thought you all of people would read something like that. ;) 2.If you really want to use her as a villain, I'm not stopping you. It's just that, having read a decent amount of material with her, I just can't see her in such a role. (Not unless Legion went back in time and accidentally killed his own father, anyway...)
1) Yeah, dark and gritty though it was, AoA made for a fascinating story and a great elseworlds tale. The fact that it was alternate reality helped me stomach it, and even still I'm not a fan of the ugliness of it. Still, it's always neat to see alternate versions of characters you love.
2) I can understand that, but reading about her history, I thought she started out as a violent, murderous mercenary.

1.Yup. It's not pretty, and it's not perfect, but it's still heavily enjoyable, and fascinating to read. I actually prefer AoA Sabretooth over the original, to be honest. ;)
2.Yeah, but it's a bit more complicated then that. Back when Cable first came to the present, he formed a group called the Six Pack, which Domino was a part of. They participated in various mercenary missions with high body-counts, but it was all to track down Cable's deadly clone, Stryfe. Also, most of this was part of Cable's backstory as opposed to actually happening present-tense. When Domino actually showed her face canonically for the first time, it was with Cable as a member of X-Force in the very first issue. (Or rather, in the last few issues of New Mutants, which was when the team transitioned to X-Force.) With X-Force, Cable decided to make an effort to drastically drop the bodycount that his former group Six Pack had, (there were still bodies, but it was nothing compared to his Sixpack days,) and when Domino followed Cable and joined the group, she made that effort as well. She slowly developed over time, and these days, she mainly reserves her shots for foes of the X-Men, outside of occasional sidetrips.
How about this; there's a hit made on Gambit, but whoever nabs him can do so with him either dead or alive. Domino goes after him for the paycheck and the thrills, but intends to keep him alive, figuring he can weasel his own way out of the situation when she's gotten her dough. Or does that not work for you?
Interesting, I didn't know that.
Hey, now that's an excellent idea, KK! It also adds some personality to the story. I love it!

I haven't checked them out myself, so I don't know if they are the version you are looking for.
For Toad tongue attacks, I am using the venom_tongue FX. I can't remember where I found it, though. There may be more than one. I'll have to check.
I'll take a look at the Mystique grenade animation.
I'm a little late to the conversation, but I would say that if a hit is being placed on someone, and you want multiple people to attack, I think an established team may work a little better.
You mentioned Boomerang, so maybe the "Sinister Syndicate"?
Or with Zaran, maybe "Batroc's Brigade"?
Though for my first choice, I was actually thinking about the original "Marauders".

Where would you like the mesh sent?

2.Yeah, but it's a bit more complicated then that. Back when Cable first came to the present, he formed a group called the Six Pack, which Domino was a part of. They participated in various mercenary missions with high body-counts, but it was all to track down Cable's deadly clone, Stryfe. Also, most of this was part of Cable's backstory as opposed to actually happening present-tense. When Domino actually showed her face canonically for the first time, it was with Cable as a member of X-Force in the very first issue. (Or rather, in the last few issues of New Mutants, which was when the team transitioned to X-Force.) With X-Force, Cable decided to make an effort to drastically drop the bodycount that his former group Six Pack had, (there were still bodies, but it was nothing compared to his Sixpack days,) and when Domino followed Cable and joined the group, she made that effort as well. She slowly developed over time, and these days, she mainly reserves her shots for foes of the X-Men, outside of occasional sidetrips.
Didn't it turn out that Domino was being impersonated by Copycat in those early stories? Seem to recall something like that.
Benton, I have a modern Vanisher up on HF. Never got around to skinning any earlier versions.

Yeah, but when the real Domino finally showed up, she pretty much had the same backstory that I just described.
Here's another question, folks: What skin/mesh combo would make effective flame minions for Pyro?
Thanks Hoss! One of those was the classic version, a nice skin of it too. I haven't decided which version I want to use yet, so I thought I'd look around a bit.

Thanks CB, but I want to make this specifically a group working for the Assassins' Guild to tie this story into Gambit's past. For that reason I want to avoid any easily recognizable teams. I'm more interested in second stringers who can be thrown into a mix than an independent team. I want a bunch of individuals, not really working together.
Pod, I was actually trying to figure out where I could find those Vanishers of yours. I remembered you previewing them. I thought that they looked really interesting.
Quote from: BentonGrey on June 03, 2014, 09:10:28 PM
Interesting, I didn't know that.
Hey, now that's an excellent idea, KK! It also adds some personality to the story. I love it!
On another note, I have a skoping request. Can anyone give AA's Mystique skope a grenade throw animation?
What is out there for the Vanisher?
Are there any FX for Toad's tongue attacks?
Which mesh? The newest one or my old skope? Maybe I can whip something up.

Ahhh, gotcha. In that case, I would look at:
Shocker
Bullseye
Arcade
Mysterio
Sabretooth
I think that gives you a pretty balanced team power/skill wise. I wanted to add a tank type character as well, but couldn't decide on which one.
Quote from: Cyber Burn on June 04, 2014, 01:11:23 AM

Nuke or Cyber might work.
This community always comes through. :)
AA, I THOUGHT this was your newest one. It's Mystique with a pistol, which I had always wanted. Back in the day, it always bothered me when characters who had gun attacks didn't have a gun on their mesh, so I snapped this up and squirreled it away when I first saw it. It seems, however, that this was the older one. I guess I've been holding on to it for a while. ;) Anyway, that skope works well, thanks Spyder! I notice that this one has some distortion with the hands, though. I guessing that is a result of the neat keys you used, AA, right?
Thanks for the suggestions CB! Shocker and Mysterio are two I hadn't considered, but they actually make a certain amount of sense, and I'll have to add them in for Spider-Man eventually anyway.
Cyber is an interesting option, AA.

Yeah, it's just how the mesh worked itself onto AA's newest Mystique.
I couldn't figure out how to shorten the fingers and the arms, but it didn't bother me too much when I skoped it, so I left it as is.
Though, with AA offering up a new skope, you should have a much better Mystique coming your way :P
No worries. She looks good in action! :)
One more thing, folks. I need some help with some FX. I've tried to add some FX for Pyro and Magneto, and it isn't working properly. If someone would be willing to give this a look for me, I'd appreciate it.
Bent, is this the Mystique you are using?
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5454/8847749657_ffc8278d02_b.jpg)
If not it is an older version and I would be more than happy to update this one to look like classic Mystique with pistol and grenade animations.

I wanted another mesh with a more classic look with the same animations as your new one, so I took one of your old Mystiques and rigged it to your new one (the Supernova Mystique).
I hope that makes sense :wacko:
Makes sense. :) How is the distortion though? I know Gren's new meshes and Ink's meshes don't typically play nice.
AA, how can I say no to an offer like that? :D Yes, that'd be fantastic!

Here's another question, folks: What skin/mesh combo would make effective flame minions for Pyro?
What about using the Fire Elemental characters that are built-ins? They are under the Foes section in the Character Selection Screen. They have flame FX, but for some reason Irrational decided to hide the flames in the combat animations.
Right Hoss. They're the obvious choices, but I would like to give him some variety too.
Hey, could anyone send me the mesh TM_basic?

Could add particle effect to the lion and eagle meshes.
Also I'll try to work on that skope tonight. Shouldn't take too much.
Far as tank type Grizzly (Theodore Winchester). Technically an at times merc but he'd make a good tank against Gambit. Or Bonebreaker since he literally IS a tank, lol.
I have a zip file with the "TM_Basic" Mesh that looks to just have the gun and cords visible. I think it's for :ff: so it would need to be converted. Is that the one you want?
Otherwise I could strip down a "Taskmaster_Cordless" that has already been converted to basically a "Male_Basic" with a gun.
Or, depending on what you want, I can hook you up with a simple "Male_Basic" with a gun. Let me know which you would prefer.
That TM_Basic sounds like just what I need, CB. Hey, you're familiar with FX. Would you be willing to look at the ones that are causing me troubles when you get the chance?
SA, I don't know much about Grizzly; would he take an assassination gig?
AA, I could have sworn that we had some fiery meshes already. Do we not?
Okay, so I'm also going to need the Imperial Guard. I've got all of Ink's meshes, I think, but I want to make sure that I've also got all of Gren's new stuff. Did he make anyone other than:
- Electron
- Fang
- Gladiator
- Neutron
- Mentor
- Smasher
- Starbolt

He has quite a lot of meshes. I think he has another 9 meshes, not including the ones you listed.
I'll upload them and put the link here.
EDIT: Here you go.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/g4roq8xp099eqw5/Gren_Hoss_ImperialGuard.7z
They were all converted to FFvtTR and there's a Hussar skope by Hoss included because it's awesome.
Grizzly was a mercenary so yeah, probably would. He rolled with Domino if that's any indication. I thought you may have been familiar from AOA. Though if your going canon he's deceased currently. He was an end boss in X-Men Legends 2 as well.
Thanks Spyder, that was a big help! Man, I'm especially glad you included that Hussar!
SA, yeah, I do remember him from AoA now that you mention it, just barely. I actually just read a recap of Toad's role in that story and his fight with Grizzly as I was poking around for info on the Brotherhood.
More on the Imperial Guard: Did C6 do any skins for Gren's meshes, or is my memory playing tricks on me?
Here's something new:
I need a volunteer, guys. I am working on balance and tweaking character builds, and I've got some big casts to get put in for the next few X-Missions. What I could really use some help with is the AI work. I need someone who is familiar with the basics of M25's AIs or is willing to learn. It isn't terribly complicated, and there really isn't that much to be done. Still, it will probably take a bit of trial and error if you aren't already familiar with how M25's AI works. Specifically, I'd like to have somebody do the AI customizations for me so I don't have to mess with them and can focus on getting the missions written and tested. For example, Wolverine and Colossus need to have metal subtypes, Unus the Untouchable needs to focus on getting something to wield, Sentinels should hunt for mutants, etc. This WILL give you early access to some new Marvel Adventures stuff, though. ;) Ideally this person could keep working with me going forward.

Hey, can someone skope Gren's IG_Mentor to give him a few martial-artisit-y melee attacks, specifically some multi-contact attacks?
On a related note, can anyone skope Ink's imperial guard Midget mesh to have some shrinking keys?

I would love to help out with this. I've been on a DC rampage as of late (rewatching Justice League: TAS), and I'd love to crack into some Marvel sessions. *cracks knuckles*
About the part in bold, I could have sworn that it was possible to add new subtypes, but I could never find where. I'll figure something out. I'm not out of imagination, just yet.
Fantastic Spyder! That will be a huge help! I know there is a way to do new subtypes, but I don't know how to do it off the top of my head. Thanks man, I'll send you a build of the mod in a day or two, once I've finished balancing and building in this cast.

Benton from what i can figure you are done with the Pulp mod and started working again in MA? Yeah, i am really late for the party :D. It's really sad for me to see all you guys helping Benton in one section while i am incapable of doing anything to contribute :(. Anyway Benton may i ask in which missions you are working right now and maybe which ones you plan on adding?

Thanks guys, you're all awesome!
Jim, not quite. I'm almost done with the Pulp Mod, but I'm taking a bit of a break from it. I've got to finish the last mission and do some odds and ends, plus I have someone making some neat supplemental material for the project and am going to wait to release it until that is done.
As for Marvel Adventures, well, I'm mostly just messing around with the X-Men campaign because the new movie and rewatching the classic 'toon have put me in an X-Men mood. :) I want to play in their world for a little while, so I am returning to the missions that I had outlined but not created. I don't want to say too much about what will happen in these, as I want it to be somewhat new to folks who play them. At the moment, I'm working on five new missions for the X campaign, but I probably won't turn my full attention to the Marvel mod just yet. I will probably switch over to DC after I release the Pulp Mod, but we'll see.
Let me encourage you to try to find something that you can enjoy doing, Jim. You don't have to be able to mod, script, skin, or mesh to contribute, you know! I started out making voice packs as my first real contribution to the community, and here I am creating sprawling mods. You never know where life will lead you. :)
Gents, I don't know how I overlooked this, but I managed to only do half the skoping job on Angel's keys. He needs a multi-contact flying melee. The standard vxmale_wings keys don't seem to have a melee anim that I can convert. Does anyone know where I can find one? I know I had one once upon a time, but I haven't a clue where it is now.

So guys, I'm trying to do some voice pack matching. I'd love your input:
http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=57191.msg774503
Additionally, I'm looking for art assets for:
- Boomerang
- Bullseye
- Domino
- Zaran
- Grizzly
- Crossbones
- Assassin (http://www.comicvine.com/assassin/4005-75355/)
- Harvester (http://www.comicvine.com/harvester/4005-86871/)
- Nakh (http://www.comicvine.com/nakh/4005-17371/)
- Mysterio
- Machete
- Porcupine
- Batroc
I'm not sure if all of these guys have been created, but I imagine most of them have.
I have a Domino set on HF (you mentioned her twice BTW). I also did a skin for a Mysterio mesh. There's other skins for both of them out there too.
Whoops! Thanks Pod! :)
Batroc is here: http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/marvel.php#general
Murs did Crossbones (it's his last skin, I think): http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/murs47.php
Porcupine can be found here, under Marvel/Misc (that could really use an updated skin): https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/lpdox/
C6 did an updated Boomerang skin here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/C6_Unhosted_Skins/info
I know Grenadier meshed Zaran. I don't know about a skin, tho.
If you need them, the mesh for Batroc is here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Grenadiermeshes5/files
and the mesh for Boomerang is here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Grenadiermeshes9/files
For Domino, I had Skoped Pod's version onto the "Task_Mistress_Fixed" Mesh by Ink. I never released it publically since it was done for a request, but if you're interested, I'd be glad to send it your way.
As for the others, "Assassin", "Harvester", and "Nakh", seem to be the only ones that I have nothing for.
As for Grizzly, can you post a pic or link, I don't know if what I have is the same one you want.
Thanks guys! Those are all awesome!
CB, sure man, send it my way. I figured those guys would be pretty obscure. I'm not sure if anyone has done them, and if not, no worries. I'll figure something else out.
I know nothing about Grizzly, so send me what you've got. :)
Ohh, does anyone know where I can find that awesome X-Jet that someone did some years back?
- Assassin (http://www.comicvine.com/assassin/4005-75355/)
- Harvester (http://www.comicvine.com/harvester/4005-86871/)

Zaran: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Champions_of_Freedom_2/files/

Hey guys, I'm wondering if I've got an issue with Gren's IG_Starbolt. His flames are coming off of him in very blocky textures. It looks like a bad conversion from .tga to .dds, but they're still .tga. Is anyone else seeing this? Is my copy just corrupted somehow?

I think its just the way that the FX (.TGA) Files were made. I modified the existing FX (.TGA) Files to shrink the visible aspect down a bit, just to test it out, so now it doesn't have the blocky appearance. Unfortunately, they are now considered "Kittbashed", so I don't think that what I just did can be used. If you want, I can create new Textures for the FX Emitters and send them your way.
Well CB, why don't you send me the one you whipped up so I can get an idea of what this looks like. :)
You've got mail. :D
Thanks CB!
On a different note, is there anyone out there who can show me how to edit the Vulnerability attribute to where it removes Physical Resistance as well?
What I did to fix the Starbolt texture issue was I just left it as a .tga. I have yet to see it with that annoying pink hue and the flames look like they should.
The flames look good on yours, Spdyer? See, that's just it, I HAVEN'T converted it, but they LOOK like they've been converted. Would you send me yours for comparison?

Sure thing! I'll be sending them now.
I don't know if you did this, but I left the .tga files as "32-bit" (if they were 32-bit) to begin with.
Thanks Spyder!
So guys, didn't someone make an X-Mansion map for FF2 in the last several years? I don't seem to have it, but I remember someone creating it.
Here's one that I found: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ovqyerwrzwhh2zd/x-mansion.zip
I found it here: https://www.mediafire.com/frp
Thanks Spyder! I didn't even know that mediafire page existed, nice.
Hmm, I'm having trouble with this X-Mansion map. None of the objects are showing up, despite the fact that they all seem to have the correct path (area_speciff1) and all of the meshes are in the mod folder. Anyone willing to field this one for me?
After looking at the .zip file, it seems like there isn't any "area_speciff1" folder, but "area_specific". Perhaps moving the files to "area_specific" will fix it?
I don't think so. The objects on the map are all FF1 objects. The area_specific folder in the .zip is just the location for the terrain and level layout stuff. That datapaths for the objects are all pointing to the udated area_speciff1 folder, and all of the objects are in the proper places.

Cool, thanks Spyder!
Just a heads-up for everyone, I'll be out of town for the rest of this week, and I may not have internet access. I'll catch y'all this weekend!
So, I have a different one for y'all this time. I need some help, but not with skins, meshes, or skopes. I'm a little stuck on an X-Men mission, story and mission design-wise, and I could use a sounding board. What I need is one or two folks who have a great love for and knowledge of classic Marvel and a sense for storytelling and mission design. You don't have to be a modder, as long as you think you're capable of discussing what makes for an interesting mission to play. I want to do some quiet conversing about campaign design, and I don't want to make it entirely public, as that ruins some of the surprise. Do I have any takers?

Ohh, and what's out there for the big G, Galacus?
I believe that the Shi'ar set was Skoped by Style. Plus, Tommyboy had a Shi'ar soldier, and I think Ink had a Shi'ar Male_Basic as well.
As for an armored Lilandra, the only one I can think of is the one by Ink, that's not saying there isn't another one, that's just the only one I can think of.

The one I use is Gren's Galactus_v2 with C6's skin. I'll send that to you now :ph34r:
EDIT: Also, the Shiar Soldiers, Guard, and Royal Guard were by Style. Cyber was right; I goofed.
Benton, I just sent you a C6 skin for Galactus that, I believe is an update to the standard that came with Gren's mesh. It looks different than the preview pic that's on Alex's site (richer textures, improved shading). I wasn't sure which one Spydermann sent.
I could have sworn that I saw Lilandra, but it's possible I imagined it. I thought that I had her tucked away for the future, but I can't find it.
Thanks Spyder and Hoss!
Anyway, two new queries, there was a really awesome Kraven the Hunter from a while back, maybe with a C6 skin. Does anyone know where I can find him?
On a separate note, what is out there for Blackout and Blizzard?
Blackout Mesh (Called "Male_basic_bolthead_small"): https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/BYD_male_meshes2/info
Blizzard Mesh (Called "mb_nomouth_icecuffs_FX"): https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Renegademeshes2/info
Beyonder did a Kraven mesh called "Male Basic Furcoat":
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/BYD_male_meshes2/info
I must have missed the "Kraven" request last night, Detourne_Me Skoped Beyonder's Mesh onto Grenadier's "Zaran_Gren" Mesh which is located here:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/detourne_me/files
I sent Vertex's "Blizzard69" mesh and Detourne_Me's "Kraven_dm" skope.
Both are absolutely fantastic, and they're typically the ones I end up using whenever I'm making hero files for them.
Hey Spyder, could you please send me the "Blizzard69" Mesh? I don't seem to have it.
Thank you!

Thanks, Spyder. :thumbup:
Edit: Gmail is correct. Hotmail became too much of a spamfest.
Thanks guys! Are there any more Blackout skins out there?
Here's a new request; would anyone be willing to create some Assassin's Guild cannon fodder for me? I'd like to have some regular Guild members to throw at the player, as well as the master assassins themselves. I'd rather like to see something skoped/skinned that looks a bit like the ridiculous costumes from the 'toon, perhaps toned down a bit:
http://www.comicvine.com/images/1300-266394
http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/content/st/9373header_banner1754237.jpg
http://drg4.dancemania-ex.com/xtyours11.JPG
I'm afraid I couldn't find much in the way of good references, but these guys don't have to match an exact look, so improvisation and creativity are completely fine. As far as weapons, a variety would be nice, melee and ranged.
Any takers?
Ohh, and an unrelated question, the X-Men and Illuminati Super Skrull skopes by Johnny Patches, are their skins kitbashed or are they releasable?
Annnnd another one: Would anyone be willing to add some key variety to Pod's Domino skope? He's got an awesome skin and skope, but I am having a hard time capturing the character with the limited keys of the mesh.
I did some skins for Johnny Patches' Skrull scopes. They are in one or the other Character Obscura groups (VII maybe?).
For Blackout, I thought C6 had one, but I can't seem to find it. I could have been hallucinating, I guess.
For Domino, I have Pod's Skope built onto Ink's "Task_Mistress" Mesh, that might give you a little more variety. But what kind of Animations are you wanting, maybe something else could be Skoped up?

For a looong time I've wanted to move Domino to a skope based off Gren's Blackhawk. Unfortunately I don't think that's something I can get to just now.
Thanks DG!
CB, Task_Mistress would probably work perfectly. I just wanted some melee animations and a few more options in ranged.
Pod, cool, well if you do switch her over, let me know and I'll update the mod. :)

What's out there for Jack O' Lantern, gents? He seems like a good choice for another mercenary to add to the mix.
Texas Jack did a Jack O'Lantern mesh:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/TexasJackMeshes/info
C6 also has a nice skin for that mesh that Alex has on his site now.
Thanks guys!
Alright, here's a new set.
I am doing a little something with the Hulk, so I need:
-The U-Foes
-The Leader
-Abomination (just wanting to see options)
-General Ross
-Bruce Banner
And some materials for Spidey and Such:
-Spidey himself (what are the best options? It's been forever since I messed with Spider-Man)
-Daredevil (I've got Gren's mesh and UE's skin, what else should I check out?)
-Green Goblin (I've got TUE's awesome skin/skope, but I'm curious if there are any interesting keyframe spokes or the like out there)
-Rhino (any skins for Gren's latest mesh?)
-Vulture I (I know Pod is working on an awesome new skin, but what's the standard mesh?)
-Scorpion
-Shocker (I've got C6's skin, but need the male_basic_effects mesh. Anything else I should check out?)
-Mysterio (I need the mesh for TUE's skins)
-The Lizard
-Venom
-Kingpin
-Tombstone
Quote from: BentonGrey on July 30, 2014, 04:49:37 PM
Alright, here's a new set.
I am doing a little something with the Hulk, so I need:
-The U-Foes I think that you can find them all on LP's Force of Paradox.
-The Leader DM and JKC have excellent skopes of this guy. I'll send you what I have.
-Abomination (just wanting to see options) I often have a tough time choosing which mesh to use for this guy, but I often go for Hoss' skope more-so than the others. JP's skope with DaGlob's skin is really amazing, too. Hoss' is on the Force of Paradox site and JP's is on Alex's sites.
-General Ross I actually cannot recall very many General Ross meshes/skopes/skins out there. I'll have to look around for this one.
-Bruce Banner Same situation as Ross, but I could've sworn that I had a skin of Dr. Banner.
And some materials for Spidey and Such:
-Spidey himself (what are the best options? It's been forever since I messed with Spider-Man) I use Jik's Spider-Man mesh more often than not, but DM and AA both have very good skopes of him. Not to mention Tommyboy's mesh which has more than enough animations for a variety of powers.
-Daredevil (I've got Gren's mesh and UE's skin, what else should I check out?) DM did a skope of him, and it's typically the one that I use the most. It also uses any Daredevil skins that go on Gren's mesh, so it's perfect! I'll send you this one as well.
-Kingpin Again, DM is the man for this one. I think that he recently released a skope of Kingpin based on Gren's Blob mesh.
-Green Goblin (I've got TUE's awesome skin/skope, but I'm curious if there are any interesting keyframe spokes or the like out there) I typically use Gren's mesh with TUE's skin. Although, Sick Alice recently released a bunch of Goblins on his Litterbox site.
-Rhino (any skins for Gren's latest mesh?) Nothing that isn't kittbashed, I don't think.
-Vulture I (I know Pod is working on an awesome new skin, but what's the standard mesh?) Beyonder's mesh of the Vulture can be found on Alex's site.
-Scorpion Male_Scorpion is the one that I use for him. JP has an awesome skope of Scorpion, but he doesn't use his tail for ranged attacks, so I don't use it much.
-Shocker (I've got C6's skin, but need the male_basic_effects mesh. Anything else I should check out?) Cyber did an awesome skope of him, but you'll have to put C6's skin on it yourself, as far as I know. I might be able to send this one to you.
-Mysterio (I need the mesh for TUE's skins) I think that I have what you're looking for. I'll send him to you along with the others.
-Tombstone My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think that DJ recently made a skope of him, but I don't know if it was released.
-The Lizard I usually use Hoss' skope for him. It can be found on the Force of Paradox.
-Venom TJ's mesh with TUE's skin. 'Nuff said.
Also, as a little wish of mine, I'd like to see the Metal Master make his debut, one day :P

Ninja'd by Spyder, guess I need to type a bit faster.
Here's what I have for the Shocker, if you can't get the Skope from the Yahoo Group, let me know and I'll send it your way. http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=55924.30
Lord Ehmsidy has a Skin for Bruce banner, I can send it your way if you want.

Ohh man, look at this cornucopia of awesomeness! Man, a lot of great stuff has been made that I didn't notice at the time. DM has really been on fire with his skopes! I'm going to have fun this afternoon. :D
CB, please do send me that Banner skin!
What group is that Shocker skope in, CB? He looks great!
Spyder, Hoss's Abomination skope is awesome, and you sent me tons of cool stuff that knocked out most of my list.
DM's Kingpin skope, though pretty cool, needs a dedicated skin, really. What else is out there for him? I have Tommy's mesh, but I know there's something else that I can't quite remember.
Thanks for suggesting my stuff, Spyder. Usually, when Benton needs something, I end up making a skope, so it's nice having some already done.
My Abomination skope includes a skin by C6 that he graciously allowed me to include as the standard. The skin was taken from a hex that he did.
Detourne_me was generous enough to add some really cool animations to my Lizard skope.
I have all of the U-Foes on my page. I recently did an Ironclad skin for Gren's latest mesh. Benton, let me know if you need the mesh. I don't remember if I included it or put the Yahoo address in the Read Me file. I believe it's in one of Gren's last groups, not in one of the Champions Yahoo Groups.
The Tombstone skope was actually done by Detourne_me, but like Spydermann said, I don't think it was released. In the meantime, Lord Ehmsidy has a mesh here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Lordehmsidymeshes1/files/
I believe UE's original skin was for Tommyboy, but I think Gren's Mysterio has UE's skin as the standard adjustted for the new mesh: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Champions_of_Freedom_2/files/
Vertex has a McFarlane era Leader here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Vertex_Meshes_01/files
Pod's new Vulture skin appears to be on a Tommyboy mesh.
Thanks for the props guys!
As for Banner, I believe Daglob made a great skin for the Jeckyl and Hyde mesh. Running with that idea I took c6's banner skins from the Renegade Hulks, and mixed them with Yellow Lantern's Kirby hulk and sloped them onto the Jeckyl and Hyde mesh. Never released that skope, but I could put it out there when I get back.
Also I was working on a Tombstone a while ago, I guess I could release him now, although the skin isn't really the greatest.
The only Kingpin's out there are Tommy's two meshes. AA did a skin for the old mesh, (which I've based two scopes on now, the recent blob one, and older Mister Monster based one)
There is also one or two skins for a hex of the Pinstripe mesh. I believe Soulmania did one.
Finally, one of my first ever releases was a buffed hex of Gren's male_suitv2 with a pretty silly kingpin skin I did.... Nearly ten years ago!
I could have sworn I put that scope of Dr. Banner and Kirby Hulk in one of the Character Obscura groups.
Metal Master is on my list, but a side project is taking all my time right now.
Still, I wonder how Bearded's Male Evolved would look...
I found a General Ross skin for the Policeman mesh. I've been wanting to take Male Suit v2 w/guns and add a hat to it and do a different one myself.
Hey Benton, you've got mail.
I sent you the "Bruce Banner" Skin from Lord Ehmsidy, the "Tombstone" Mesh, also from Lord Ehmsidy, as well as the "Tombstone" Mesh from Tommyboy.
I also sent you my "Shocker" Skope.
Thanks guys!
For Banner, I don't necessarily need one who transforms, just a civilian version for use in cutscenes.
Can anyone send me the smoke.TGA from TUE's Mysterio skin for that Mysterio_Gren mesh, unconverted? I'm having that same issue with the .DDS being blocky and badly converted.

-Vulture I (I know Pod is working on an awesome new skin, but what's the standard mesh?)
Mine is on Tommyboy's Vulture mesh. Beyonder's is great but I needed the skoping versatility for what I have planned.
For Kingpin, I believe Detourne Me crafted a new one just recently that should be worth checking out.
Also someone skoped a Tombstone a while back but I can't recall who.
Thanks guys!
So folks, I'm still in need of mapping help. If any of our newer skinners or skopers want to try their hands at mapmaking, I could really use someone to create a few specific things for Marvel Adventures, just to add some variety to the mod's locations. It's either that, or we're going to see the same locations show up over and over again. If you're interested, let me know!
On a more traditional note, can I get someone to give me a golden, statue-flavored skin of the Shi'ar Guard mesh? I'm going to use them for the Shi'ar palace level.
Another request, I need Doc Samson. What's out there for him in his classic look?

I'm sending you Gren's Mesh now.
Argh! Ninja'd!
I just sent you Gren's and a skope by Johnny Patches on a VX mesh with a skin by C6.
Thanks guys!
Would anybody be willing to skope Ink's Lilandra mesh to include a sci-fi pistol and the keys to use it?
Sure! Which Lilandra?
Awesome, thanks DM! I'd hoped to use the armored one, but it has a weird keyframe problem where the right arm reverses direction during the melee_idle animation. It looks like her arm is on backward. I think the best fit will just be to go with the non-armored one in the black costume.
You've got mail.
I like the armored version better too, so i fixed the melee_idle animation a bit.
Ohh man, thanks DM! Way to go the extra mile, man. :D
Alright folks, I still need a Shi'ar Guard (from DM's skope, I think) skinned as a statue of gold or marble to be used as a prop.
I am also looking for some minions (robotic or mutated, I imagine) for the Leader. Someone sent me a Leaderdroid skin, but I wanted to see what other ideas y'all might have as well.
Were they the skin of these things?
Spoiler
(http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130117190342/marveldatabase/images/a/ae/Humanoids_%28Leader%29_%28Earth-616%29.png)
Yes!
Well, for other minions, you could have high-tech flunkies, robots of just about any design (Ink's Danger Room robots on Heroforce come to mind), and mind-controlled villains doing his dirty work.
I can't think of any specific examples of minions that the Leader uses other than those Pink Robots of his.
Oh, and you could use Gamma-Mutants! The Leader has tried to turn everybody into Hulk-like beasts before, both in the comics and in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Now, for the U-Foes:
Vector can keep the Hulk off of his feet via telekinesis. He can also throw things from a distance and Hulk would have to close in on him. I don't see him doing much else than just throwing Hulk around and tossing objects at him.
Vapor could be "Ghostly" seeing as she's immune to all physical attacks and she could have a high energy-cost "weaken" ability to simulate suffocation (that's the only way I see her harming the Hulk, though that would still be very overpowered). Perhaps some high-damage direct attacks and some stunning area attacks would fit her nicely?
X-Ray would also be immune to physical damage via a "Pass Through" Active Defense as he isn't incorporeal all of the time. He would also have both energy and radiation attacks (radiation won't do a thing to the Hulk, but it will give him some diversity against other heroes).
Ironclad is a tank with Density control, so he could have some Resistance Through Pain to simulate him amping up his density when sparring with enemies. He could even have Mass Control should the ResistanceThroughPain thing be too much.

If you could send me the Shi'ar Guard mesh/skope that you are using, I can whip up a couple of skins. I can't seem to find the version you are using anywhere.
For robot minions, there is a hex by J_Foam (Robotman_FVT) that would work reasonably well. I'll send it your way because I can't remember where I found it.
Thanks guys!

Howdy gents! I'm trying to steal a few minutes here and there from my PhD work to make some progress on my Marvel Adventures expansion, and I need a few resources for it.
Can anyone point me towards/send me:
- Taskmaster
- Chemistro (I think DJ did him)
- Stiltman
- The Beetle
- Luke Cage Powerman (I think Ren has one)
- Iron Fist
- Moon Knight
- Elektra
You've got mail, Mr. Grey :cool:
Renegade actually has a few versions of Luke Cage. Here's what I sent you:
- Luke Cage V2 along with Ren's separate keyframes (this is the one with the classic 70's look)
- Gren's Iron Fist
- DM's awesome skope of Gren's Taskmaster
- a Gren/Johnny Patches Elektra that I had, but can't remember where I got it from
- a Moon Knight skope by LP that borrowed from DM's original skope
Chemistro is here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/DeathsJester/files
Stiltman is here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/TexasJackMeshes/files
Gren's Beetle is here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Grenadiermeshes14/files
Benton I have a v2 of gren's Iron Fist if you would like me to send you. Hoss can i also have the Elektra skope pls. Adress is jmjimvas08@gmail.com. Did spyder send you the beetle? I have a neat mesh by Gren.
Awesome! Thanks so much, guys! I love that I can be busy for weeks and weeks, but I can come back to the community and get right back to work thanks to y'all.
The meshes are great, thanks to all of you!
Jim, send away!
Here are a few follow ups:
I know someone did a really awesome Stiltman skin some time ago. Anyone have that?
Are there any skins for Gren's Iron Fist?
Would someone be willing to tweak DM's awesome Taskmaster skope to give me a few more sword anims (multi contact), and a ranged appropriate to a billy club throw to play with?
I'd also like to know what is out there for a few other characters:
The Owl
Gladiator (Melvin Potter)
Paladin
Thanks guys!
I've got the original Stilt-Man mesh by Texas_Jack somewhere..the skin isn't that bad. As for Gladiator...think I've got one that someone did..will look. Gren has a Paladin mesh, should look for that too.
Benton, I sent you Gren's Paladin and Tommyboy's Owl that I had. I think there might be another Owl somewhere.
Area34 has a nice Gladiator (Potter) here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Area34s_FFF/files
It also looks like he made a Gladiator Saw FX for Gladiator, as well. It's a ranged, flying saw.
Thanks guys!
I'm still looking for Stiltman and Iron Fist skins, and I'd also like to know what is available for the original Tarantula and Spider-Man's foe, Hydro Man.
C6 has a couple of skins for Tarantula that Alex put up in his section. It looks like the updated skin is supposed to go on a male_basic_headband which may be lost at Gammapatrol/FFUnderground. Hopefully, someone has it because the preview pic shows the spikes on the toes.
Otherwise, Tommyboy also has a Tarantula here complete with toe spikes: http://www.tommyboymeshes.freedomforceforever.com/Marvel%20meshes%20T.html
Laughing Paradox did the standard skin for Iron-Fist_Gren. Are you looking for a different version of his costume? If you're going old school, the old green and yellow is pretty much it.
Benton i have sent you Hydro-man. It's actually a sandman mesh however the hydro-man skin also has water melee animations which is really cool. I hope it suits you.
I've got Beyonder's "Male_Basic_Headband" Mesh. I can go ahead and send it your way.
As for "Stiltman", after going through everything I have, the only Skin I can find is the Standard Skin for Texas_Jack's Mesh.
Benton has Mail.
I also sent the "Male_Basic_Headband" Mesh to Hoss and Jim, just in case. :D
It's the original Zip File, so it may need to be converted for FFvt3R.
Good thinking CB, we must save endangered meshes :lol:. Benton if there is anything else you need ask away.
Thanks, CB.
Benton (and everyone else, for that matter), I may suggest that you take the jump kick animations from Gren's Batroc and add them to the Tarantula keyframes, just for some variety.

Good suggestion about Batroc's keys for Tarantula, Hoss! That actually brings me to a new question:
Has anyone put together a keyframe package for Batroc? Gren's keys are awesome, but I'd like a few more kick options.
I think that the Stiltman skin I have been remembering was MAYBE from C6. Does anyone else remember this? Maybe it didn't get released, or maybe I am imagining things.

I have come up empty searching both the regular Forums, and the Archive Forums. I've also come up empty searching my PC and back up disks. I'm wondering if maybe it was a Mod Exclusive or something.
Maybe I imagined it, CB. It wouldn't be the first time.
Hey guys, what FX do y'all use for Moon Knight?

You know, that's exactly the person who I thought I saw a skin from. Perhaps I was thinking of Machine Man? I don't know :P
Well, at least that makes me feel like I might not be crazy, Spyder!
After doing a bit more reading, it seems that Misty Knight might be a good fit with the street-level story I'm telling. What do y'all think? What is out there for her?
The only "Misty Knight" that I know of, is the one by Blobula. Very nice Skin.
http://blobula.webs.com/
On a side note, I agree with you about "Stiltman". I'm sure there was another one floating around somewhere.
You weren't kidding, CB, that is a nice skin,and ho boy! That costume is definitely a product of its time. ^_^

Hey guys, what FX do y'all use for Moon Knight?
If you have a visual reference, or some idea of what you might want, I would be willing to give it a try.
QuoteHey guys, what FX do y'all use for Moon Knight?
His arsenal is kinda tricky since it is Egyptian oreinted and there aren't many fx currently for that. I use crescent strike for his shurikens and archangel spike for his scarab darts. Apart from that i use batarang bola for his bolas since there isn't anything else. Maybe you could try tangle wire with that. If anyone else has any ideas i would be happy to hear them.
If anyone has any pics of Moon Knight's Projectile Attacks (Shurikens, Scarab Darts, or Bola), I would be willing to give them a try.
I'm not too worried about him since I know so little about the guy and am only using him in, like two missions.
On another subject, I've got some odds and ends I could use help with before I finish this batch of characters.
-Would someone mind skoping Gren's Beetle to give him flying melee anims?
-I'm having trouble skoping Powerman's keys. I'm getting an error, so would anyone be so kind as to rename Luke_Cage_Gren_V2's melee_2_a and melee_2_b into 5 and 5_a and make them both only one contact?
More as it develops.
Benton what kind of error do you get? Can you tamper the other animations fine? I don't know how to change contacts i am afriad. I could rename the animations but it seems strange that you are having a problem. You just tried to reanme it right? Also do you mean Ren's powerman because as far as i know he is theonly one that did multiple versions of Luke Cage. I didn't even Gren had a luke cage mesh. Have you written the missions scripts or you are just bradndin the characters at this point?
I have flying_melee animations for Beetle that I will send you. I'll set up the Luke Cage keyframes for you. I'm actually surprised I hadn't done that for myself already.
Jim, I did mean Ren's, whoops! Anyway, Hoss was able to get the animations changed. I don't know what the deal was, and it seems Nifskope is working fine for everything else, but it would give me an error message that said something about blocks not being aligned or something whenever I tried to save Powerman's keys.
Thanks guys!
Can anyone send me: heroine_afro_nobellbottoms_smallrear?
It's on its way.
Thanks Hoss!
So guys, I've got a new one for you. Where can I find the python script that fixes ghosting problems? I need it for my laptop.
I know that this isn't a skin or mesh, but I figure that folks will see this request here, and it is better not to create another whole thread for one (probably) simple question.
I should have all of the files needed for the conversion, Benton.
I'll take a look and see what I have.
Send them my way when you can, Spyder!
So guys, what is out there for Black Cat?
Has anyone made any Spider-Slayers?
Is there any other street-level, Bronze Age character that I should include?
You got mail, Benton.
I sent the exact files that I installed and used to get my version up and running.
If you run into any snags, let me know and I'll try my best to help you.
For Black Cat, LP has a great skin (I think the mesh is included) here: http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/marvel.php
The only Spider-Slayer related character that I recall is JP's "Smythe" over on Alex's Freedom Fortress: http://www.alexff.com/skinmesh_gallery.php?creator=Johnny%20Patches&logo=JP&category=Marvel
As for any other street levelers, I can't really think of any right now, but I'll get back to you if I do :P
I have some real old Felicia's but wow does LP's make mine look like some rubbish then. I'm going to make his my main in game. I'm sort of interested in doing a new take on that now, given I'm up and moving albeit slowly. Maybe doing a version with some fur trim on the costume and little spikes around the choker.
Benton i have a blackcat_fur_cords mesh which is pretty good if you want it.
As for the street level characters if we are talking about heroes Bronze Tiger or Prowler would be a good solution or even Darkhawk.
For "Street" Level Characters, I would consider:
Prowler
Rocket Racer
Punisher
Black Widow (Maybe)
Deathlok
Ghost Rider (Maybe)
Moon Knight
I'd have to think a little more about the rest.

i'd remove ghost rider, too supernatural, maybe deathlok too, but the rest i think would work well.
I'm ok with Deathlok (he does the same type of missions as Cap, basically), but I'd agree about not including Ghost Rider.
He is waaaay too overqualified for street-level missions, even if he does work with hoodlums on a daily basis. :P
I can't believe that I didn't think of the Punisher! I think that there could be some awesome missions with him when dealing with Crime Lords and such.
I thought Benton had said he would be using the Punisher for something else, but I figured he belonged here as well.
If time permits (But I don't know if it will), some make shift Spider-Slayers could probably be Skoped up.
Yeah, guys, I don't know what Benton is using as his definition of "street level" heroes, but Deathlok has the Strength and Durability of characters like Spider-Man and the Lizard, not to mention some body armor also. Plus, he has the fighting skills close to Captain America or Iron Fist. I imagine in a Rumble Room situation, he would completely destroy the likes of the Prowler, Rocket Racer, Punisher, Black Widow, and Moon Knight. I know that there is a variability due to weapons and such, but Deathlok also has a pretty powerful laser pistol.
I'm not trying to be critical, but I know Benton isn't as well versed in Marvel characters as he is DC ones, so I just wanted to throw in something to think about.
I feel really stupid for asking this, Benton, but you've already got Daredevil, right? You could always throw in Elektra, depending on which incarnation of her you would want to use.
When I think "Street Level", I'm inclined to think of Characters that are more likely to fight Muggers and Bank Robbers as opposed to someone who would fight the Masters of Evil or the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
But some other Characters to consider:
Cloak and Dagger
Puma
Silver Sable
Solo
Shroud
Sandman (Yes, I would consider him a one-time Street Level Hero)
Thanks for all the great responses and discussion, guys! This is really helpful. Let me address a couple of different things:
Hoss, no worries man, you're not being insulting, just accurate! I've been really struggling with this new batch of Marvel campaigns because, honestly, outside of the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and ESPECIALLY the X-Men, I really don't know Marvel all that well. I watched the Spidey cartoons and read the early comics, but I've never read any Daredevil, Hulk, Dr. Strange, or the like. I'm actually watching through the 90s Marvel 'toons now in order to give myself a bit more familiarity with the characters I'm trying to adapt. While writing a mission featuring Daredevil, I realized I had NO IDEA what his voice is like. Ha, and I was treading lightly to not just write Luke Cage as a sterotype because I barely know the character. Ha, I never had these problems with Green Lantern, Flash, or the like.
CB, yep, I do have DD. He's been in since the beginning of this batch of stories, as I always intended to do a team-up between him and Spidey.
I will take all of these into consideration. I won't say exactly who I'm using so that there can be a bit of a surprise. :D

pfft, shows what I know. After looking him up, he's a LOT stronger than I remember him being.
Class 100 strength (Lifting up to 100 tons), Superhuman speed (running 268 mph), nano-second reflexes ("enhanced human" according to the Official Marvel Handbook), practical invulnerability to all weapons below the strength of a missile, a healing-factor that can replace missing organs, and much more.
Whew, he's definitely no mere "street-leveler" :P
And for what it's worth, my definition of "street-lever" is kind of screwy. Most of the time, my opinion of a street-leveler is like Cyber's; pretty much anybody who goes around beating up goons in alleyways and saving a stray baby carriage hurtling down the street is a street-leveler in my book.
Where I start to not consider people to be street-levelers are those beyond a certain point. At most, I'd say the like of Spider-Man and Luke Cage are the pinnacles of street-levelers. I get that Spider-Man and Luke Cage are pretty darn strong, but they aren't really capable of being anybody that requires the attention of entire superhero teams (decent-good teams; they don't have to be the Avengers or the Justice League) or one hero who is really powerful (Thor or Superman, for example) to be taken down.
Sure, Ghost Rider might bike around, staring into the souls of hooligans, but when it comes down to it, he's capable of hanging around with characters such as the Hulk and Thor if he so wanted to (not that he'd have any desire to).
I dunno. That's just how I see it :P
I was going with the more "old school" version (Deathlok I) from the late 80's/early 90's because I know that Benton prefers this time period. The Marvel Handbook from 1991 only has his strength level at the Superhuman Class 10 range. I figured he had been retconned and/or jacked up like every other hero in the last decade or so. Plus, he's had a few different bodies over the years, so it's a little easier to put his brain in a new model, I guess.
I view the "street level" thing a bit differently. I think we view Spider-Man or Luke Cage at this level because they generally still patrol these areas (the neighborhoods they grew up in) and deal with the standard criminal element. A think a problem that occurs for me is due to the way that a lot of these heroes, and even more powerful ones, are written. Anyone that can lift a bus has more than enough strength to snap a robbers head off with a kick or punch, literally, through his chest. You figure at some point, whether when just learning the extent of their powers or in a rare moment of lost self control, that this would have to happen. I mean, Luke Cage blocking some normal thug's punch would at least shatter the guy's forearm or hand.
Anyway, I didn't mean to derail the thread, Benton. It only matters what your interpretation of "street level" hero is. :D
You need to define what you think street level is. If you are thinking heroes who just protect the streets this is somehow accurate. But for me the most accurate definition is heroes who can't go above a group of mugs and thugs in regular basis. They are street-level because the streets are their limit. Well this is actually pretty confining as Luke Cage can wreck a building if he wants to and Iron Fist can deal with dozens of goons in minutes so let's use the first definition.
In that case i think Deathlok more as an operative that takes governement missions than an street protector. Sure in Maximum Carnage ha helped the heroes deal with Shriek, carnage and the others but he doesn't usuaally does that. As for Ghost Rider for me he is definitely not street-level. I read a issue back in the 80s where he took all the Avengers at once and managed to hold his own. I think he is more mystic than gritty.
Some street levels for me Cloak and Dagger, White Tiger, Solo, Prowler, Black Cat, Moon Knight, Night Thrasher, Shang-Chi.

I derp'd, again. I was looking at the Official Marvel Handbook, but I wasn't looking at the right Deathlok.
Yeah, you're right. He (Luther Manning, the original Deathlok) does have Class 10 strength.

I didn't mean my comment as a call-out or anything. :lol: I know, for me, that I grew up with so many of these characters and have only have what may be called a passing familiarity with what's going with them now, that it's hard to keep up with all of the changes and upgrades that they've gone through. I guess you saying, "I wasn't looking up the right Deathlok," pretty much says it all. It's hard to keep up with all the different versions of characters anymore.

I think I'm pretty much in the same boat you are Hoss. The Characters that I grew up with just aren't the same now. It makes me want to pull out some of my old books just to remind myself of why I've spent most of my life as a Comic Fan.

CB,
THAT is why I mod. It's also why I collect old comics, but mostly, this is why I tell my own stories. There isn't much for me in modern day DC or Marvel. Instead, I try to create a worlds that are more heroic and welcoming.

But I just sent you 3 different Juggernaut Meshes, 3 Silver Surfer Meshes, Tigershark, Doctor Strange, and a Terrax.
The only Diablo Mesh I know of is by the Beyonder: http://www.alexff.com/skinmesh_gallery.php?creator=Beyonder&category=%&logo=BYD
And Tommyboy has a Blastaar and a Baron Mordo here: http://tommyboymeshes.freedomforceforever.com/Marvel%20meshes%20B.html
Ninja'd by Hoss. :lol:
Aw, for crying out loud, Benton:
Blastaar - Tommyboy mesh: http://www.tommyboymeshes.freedomforceforever.com/Marvel%20meshes%20B.html

Semi-ninja'd by Cyber :lol:
Don't forget about Detourne_Me's Kang! http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/dm.php
:P
As for Kang Minions, there were quite a good number of them in the Great Hunt mod of old, where Kang the Cantankerous was the main baddie. I'll have to dig that mod out and send you the minions.
EDIT: Oh, boy! I actually have an Awesome Android for ya, Benton! Tommyboy, I think.
I'll e-mail him, promptly!
Haha, you guys are awesome!
Two more:
Klaw
Black Tom (I remember a relatively new mesh/skope, maybe by Gren...)
Consider them both sent!
Btw, the Black Tom mesh is by INK. :P
EDIT: Is there actually anything for the Mad Thinker? I haven't dug out my external hard-drive, but I don't seem to have any meshes or skins of him on hand.
Here's a Mad Thinker by JKCarrier: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/jkcfreedomforcestuff2/files/Marvel/
I'll send you an Awesome Android that I have. It was created/skoped by Johnny Patches. It may need a completed skin, I believe.
Oooh, could I get that Thinker Android, as well?
I have one by Tommyboy and Bearded (I think?), but I didn't know that JP made one.
I would like to add Benton that i have also sent you Baron_Mordo_Gren since i didn't see anyone mentioning that :D

I have a Skope for Klaw based on one of my Skopes for WyldFyre. It may need some extra Animations added in (Which is a little above me), but if you want to take a peek at it, I'd be glad to send it your way.
Thanks guys, y'all are the best!
Here are a few follow ups:
Which do y'all use, MHV_juggernaut or male_hulking_juggernaut? The proportions of the latter seem a bit more accurate to me, but what do y'all think?
Are there any other skins for VX_Klaw?
How about for Gren's Silver Surfer? I know here's a few for this, but I don't remember who all has done them.
Who all has skinned male_hulking_Juggernaut?
What skopes are there for Kang?
Is there another skin for Malekeith? I seem to rememeber something a little different?
Spyder, thanks for the Black Tom by Ink, but I remember seeing a newer mesh that was the classic, non-spinity version:
http://www.writeups.org/img/fiche/3277b.jpg
Maybe Gren made him in his latest batch of meshes?
What variety is there for Mr. Sinister?
:EDIT: Ohh, and would someone be so kind as to convert the skins for Dormmamu to .DDS for me? If I do it with a mass convert, the flames will be messed up. If someone could convert the flames via Gimp or Photoshop, individually, I'd appreciate it!
-Same for Firelord
-and the fire effect for C6's skin for Ultron 69
-and vxHuman_torchII

I switch back and forth, it's pretty much mood depending, they're both really great, but proportion wise, I do agree, the "Male_Hulking_Juggernaut" is probably more accurate.
How about for Gren's Silver Surfer? I know here's a few for this, but I don't remember who all has done them.
For Gren's first "Silver Surfer" Mesh, TUE has a Skin at HeroForce, and LP has one at Force Of Paradox. I'm not sure of any for Gren's updated Surfer though.
Who all has skinned male_hulking_Juggernaut?
Gryphon has one here: http://www.chynaman.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/FF/XMen.html
If you just want variety, then try the one here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FLASH_22798_Back_Up_1/info
What skopes are there for Kang?
Detourne_Me has a really nice one here: http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/dm.php
I have an old one that I don't think I ever released, but I would want to re-do it before letting it go public.

To my knowledge, an actual Mesh or Skope has not been released for that version.

Ink has a Mesh at HeroForce, and C6 has a Skin at Alex's Freedom Fortress.
Why do I have this feeling that BG is going to hit me up for even more skins?!?
Thanks CB!
I'm almost positive I've seen a Gren Black Tom...hmm...
DJ, ha, I will never turn down a DJ skin, but I don't want to get greedy! :D
Here's another one:
Thanos and proper minions therefore.

Not sure about minions though.
Benton dod you have the megalist? You can type the name of the character you want and it will display available meshes instantly. I can send it to you if you don't have it.

I typically end up using MHV_Juggernaut. I don't know why, but I just like the look of him a bit more. Perhaps it's his posture? He's taller and still has a good amount of width to him, so he isn't a tall yet lanky Juggernaut (which I think would be pretty funny :P)
Are there any other skins for VX_Klaw?
I'm not too sure. I'll have to see what I have.

Cyber answered these pretty well for you.

Which one are you referring to? I know Gren had a Malekith up on Champions, which I have. I'll be able to send him your way, tomorrow.
Spyder, thanks for the Black Tom by Ink, but I remember seeing a newer mesh that was the classic, non-spinity version:
http://www.writeups.org/img/fiche/3277b.jpg
Maybe Gren made him in his latest batch of meshes?
If there is a non-treelike Black Tom, I would love to see it. I haven't seen any pop up anywhere, and I don't recall Gren mentioning him at all. :(
What variety is there for Mr. Sinister?
I think that I have a few Mr. Sinisters. I'll send you what I have along with Malekith.
:EDIT: Ohh, and would someone be so kind as to convert the skins for Dormmamu to .DDS for me? If I do it with a mass convert, the flames will be messed up. If someone could convert the flames via Gimp or Photoshop, individually, I'd appreciate it!
-Same for Firelord
-and the fire effect for C6's skin for Ultron 69
-and vxHuman_torchII
--Wonder_man_iconic
All of the above, I shall include with Malekith and Mr. Sinister. I don't know if I have "wonder_man_ionic", but I'll be sure to check.
Thanks guys!
Jim, I don't believe I have that list.
I remember some skopes/skins for Juggernaut without his helmet. Does anyone have that?
Thanks Spyder!
I actually prefer Abdul Brown's Juggernaut. It's a really unique mesh and has custom animations (although they are limited). After resizing it and doing some keyframe skoping i feel it's the best Juggy out there, just for it's uniqueness.
I really love the MHV Juggernaut, too. It puts him just a bit bigger than Colossus and there are more keyframe options than the male_hulking_juggernaut.
Gren's Silver Surfer has been skinned by MANY people: C6, LP, UE, ZD, maybe more? Personally I like LP's latest skin of him.
Other than my Kang, I believe only Tommyboy and C6 have skinned him.
Hey, Benton.
I sent the meshes that I promised you, via e-mail.
They are:
Dormammu (by Texas Jack)
Dormammu_Val (by Valandar)
Firelord (by Grenadier)
Malekith_VXGren (by Grendadier)
MHV_Juggernaut_Gren_nohelm (a very simple skope)
mrsinster (by Ink)
vxHuman_Torch_II
I did not have "wonder_man_ionic", unfortunately.
Thanks Spyder! I've got them all, and they are a big help!
Here's a new one. Which Yahoo group is Gren's new Count Nefaria?
FR isn't letting me post the Yahoo Group Link, so I'll just send it to you.
Thanks Spyder!
On a different note, I can't seem to convert the Blackcat_LP skin. Whenever I do, it gets very shiny and metal-looking. Does anyone have a .dds version?
Consider her sent. ^_^
In case you need it, here's where to get Gren's new Count Nefaria (it's titled LLeg_Count Nefaria_Gren): https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Champions_of_Freedom/files/
I just downloaded the BlackCat_LP, converted it, and am not having the "shiny" issue that you are. If using .dds files doesn't do the trick (which in this case, I'm not sure if it will), let me know as I think I might see the problem. The skope has 8 unassigned NiTextureEffect nodes attached to the Scene Root that contain lightmap files that are not used by the skope and are not included in the skin folder. Removing these nodes from the skope may cease the "confusion" the skope is having determining which lightmap file to use. I would have tested this, but I'm not having the "shiny" mesh problem that you are. Also, being that I don't think this issue has cropped up for anyone before, it might be a graphics card problem on your end (just for this skin/skope, that is).
I have Wonderman Ionic, maybe two of them, but I know one for Male Muscular FX. That's pretty well useless, since I don't know when I can send it to you.
Murs47 has a version of Wonder Man Ionic here: http://forceofparadox.yolasite.com/murs47.php
C6 also has one in his Wonder Man (5-Pack) at Alex's: http://www.alexff.com/skinmesh_gallery.php?creator=Courtnall6&logo=C6&category=Marvel
Thanks guys! I've got Wonder Man and Black Cat is working.
Now I need me some minions:
First, I need some Mindless Ones:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindless_Ones
I also need something that can serve duty as demons. I think I might like multiple flavors of hellspawn.
What do y'all think would be good for Kang to summon? What flavors of futuristic robots would fit?
I believe that I have some Mindless Ones, hanging around.
As for Daemons and Robots, I'll have to look around. I'm sure that I have something around here. Somewhere...
Also, remember that Kang can pull from ANY time period, not just the future. You could use the historical warriors that RandomDays and Cyber were working on (perhaps Egyptian, mostly, since he ruled over them for some time, or at least, another him from another timeline did), some Dinosaurs, as well as the aforementioned futuristic robots.
Thanks Spyder!
Good idea! I'll definitely have him summon some dinos! You're right, of course, and historical warriors would be fitting, but I don't think I could realistically make them too much of a threat to the Avengers level threats Kang will face. :)
I think three different time periods being represented by his three different summons would be interesting. Dinos for one, robots for another, but what for the third? I'll have to think on that. Dinos for melee, robots for melee/ranged...maybe something that flies?
:EDIT: Ohh, and I almost forgot. Does anything exist for sound creatures Klaw might summon?

:EDIT: Ohh, and I almost forgot. Does anything exist for sound creatures Klaw might summon?
The "Ancient Warriors" could boast some advanced tech. Like blaster rifles or something? I know that would require some skoping, but it's a thought.
As for sound creatures, I
think that there is something around for them (I think Taskmaster mentioned them, before), but I'm not too certain.
If you give Klaw the Plasma Sculptor attribute, there are pink objects in the Plasma Sculptor pack that was put out years ago. As mentioned by Spyder, TaskmasterX had created these along with a necessary dat file to merge into FFX, so they could be selectable in the FFX Control Centre.
If you decide to use the Summoner attribute, I have created skins and corresponding hero files for an Eagle, Gorilla, and Wolf. I used to have a Lion, which I know he has used, but for some reason I didn't include it when I had to remake my hero files. I could whip one up for you, if you'd like. I'll use BigCatVersatile.
My Klaw actually has both of these attributes.
Spyder, neat idea! Ha, I could definitely see some Roman warriors with blaster rifles or the like. I need to dig out my Avengers DVD and check out those Kang issues.
Hoss, ahh, I thought something like that existed. Would you mind sending me those sound creature skins/meshes and the Plasma Sculptor objects? I think the three that you've already got should be perfect. That's a good mix of minions.
Which Gorilla would you prefer to use, Gorilla_Grodd by Grenadier, Gorilla_TJ by Texas Jack, or the Gorilla_TJ_Brute hex by MikeB7? Actually, the same skin might be wearable by each without adjustment, but I thought I'd check first.
Edit: Never mind. I'm going to make a skin for Tommyboy's gorilla_man_tf. It more resembles a gorilla rather than the gorilla/human hybrid represented in the other meshes.
I think the gorilla_tj_brute hex would be the best fit, wouldn't you?
I'm going to hate myself for this, but BG you do know that Kang had his own team of fighters called the Anacronauts, right?
you could push DJ's point a little further. since I note that one of the Anacronauts is from an alternate future, you could have alternate version of past, present, or future heroes and villains. Here I am pointing this out and I may be out of the skinning biz for awhile...
Ahh, I'd never heard of those guys before. My Marvel experience mostly ends in the 80s. :D
I don't have any definite plans for Kang at the moment (though I'll probably do an Avengers mission with him eventually), so I really just need some generic minions for the Conqueror to summon. Of course, if you want to skin them, DJ, I won't say 'no!' ;)
Daglob, we always welcome your thoughts man, even if you aren't churning out awesome skins! :)
Anyone got any ideas for the robots and demons?
For the Robots, maybe something could be done with Valandar's Transformer Meshes or Syn's Robot Meshes?
Someplace I picked up a robot mesh that looks something like these guys:
http://mrmercury.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=148857844
... and there is always Robbie from Forbidden Planet.
Benton, pages 12 and 13 of this thread have some posts on the location of some robot meshes. Getting old is tough, huh? :D
I had sent you JFoam's Robotman_FVT, a hex of a Tommyboy mesh, a while back (August, I think). It takes male_basic keyframes.
Tommyboy also has an awesome Human Robot mesh, complete with extending arms, here: http://www.alexff.com/skinmesh_gallery.php?creator=Tommyboy&logo=TB&category=original
For demons, I had also sent you the Balrog hex done by Valandar. It is the Irrational Daemon mesh with a different skin and flames added to it. I had put the original skin along with it because you were looking for fire demons at the time. Irrational's Subterrestrial and Shurale meshes might do well for demons, depending on what you're looking for. They may also serve as minions of Thanos, also. I keep thinking back to the old Jim Starlin days. There is also the super cool Gargoyle done by Bearded, located here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Beardedinlairmeshes3/files
Or BG could just use the machine trio I sent him some time back for the Iron Man mod he never made...hmmm....
Benton, what's your address? I've got a a bottle of Ginkgo Biloba with your name on it.
DJ, I guess you haven't played my mods! :P Sorry my friend, but not only did I make that campaign, it's already released! The Robot Reserve were in the first release of Marvel Adventures. :D
Haha, Hoss, getting old while going through a PhD program is even tougher. ;) My memory isn't great under NORMAL circumstances. :P
Thanks for the recommendations guys! I'll start exploring them soon. :)

I'm not able to make a commitment right now, but as a friendly suggestion, you may want to post pics or links to what you want. It may help get your request filled.
^I have some troubles linking pictures here.Anyway the one from Darkstar and Winter Guard mini series.Ill try uploding the pic again,thou.

Also thats CM XIII,my bad.
(http://covers.cbrd.info/character_28675_f.jpg)
Howdy guys, would anyone be willing to skope some more kicking attacks into Batroc's keys?
Sure BG! :thumbup:
Check your email, Benton. I was able to skope on the kicking animations from Gren's Iron Fist. Sorry, DM, I just did them and when I came back, you had posted. I'm sure if you use other animations, Benton can choose which ones he likes best and throw them all together.
I think the only way to settle this is to fight in the mud topless :D :D.
Benton i sent you some e-mails a few weeks back. How is your modding going? Do you need any help? You know i can report for duty in a second.
https://www.mediafire.com/?gf4p987a3orpuih
Well, shucks. I just saw your message Hoss.
I finished up these Batroc specific keyframes featuring keys by Grenadier, Valandar, and Texas Jack.
He's all legs this guy.
Leaping animations for running, cocky power and idle keyframes, jumping dodges, and about 25 different kicks.
Awesome! I have an embarrassment of riches! Thanks gents! :D
:EDIT: These are all great guys! You've given me a ton of awesome stuff to work with!
I'll have Tombstone finally done by the end of the week, BG...sorry it took so long...other stuff has been eating my time.
Ohh man, awesome timing DJ! I'm just starting to have time to work on this again. :D
Howdy guys, I need DS's Swamp map. It seems to have vanished from my computer!
I'm pretty sure I have it. Give me about 5 minutes?
Ok, Benton, you have Mail. I'm pretty sure that it's the one you want. If not, let me know, and I'll keep looking.
Thanks CB, as always, you're the man!
You know me Benton, if I can do it, I will.
I might even do it with a smile too. :P
Howdy guys, I could use someone with some basic photoshop skills and familiarity with FF textures. I want someone to help me tweak the textures on a map. It should just be a matter of mixing and matching, checking texture names, and creating a new texture folder. Anyone interested?
I still need someone to help me out with tweaking maps. It will be a job that should be pretty simple, it will just take a little time and patience.
In addition, Kk has taken me up on my offer to write independent stories for the Marvel mod, and to that end, I'm going to request some resources for some more characters I need to add.
So, for a possible Adam Warlock campaign, I would like to know what exists for:
- Adam Warlock
- Drax
- Moon Dragon
- Star Lord
- Groot
- Rocket Racoon
- Gamora
- Pip the Troll
- Magus
- Thanos
- Church of Universal Truth minions
- Clowns
- Huge Space Monster
- Generic Alien Civilians
- Judge: something alien but humanoid looking
- Matron (A normal female human mesh/skin will do, preferably in something that looks religious and/or 'cosmic'
I did a Modern Adam Warlock and a classic Moondragon.
I'm sure Podmark did modern Groot and modern Rocket Raccoon. LP did a classic Gamora. I'm sure C6 did a classic Drax, Adam Warlock, and Magus.
I'm sad to see no plans for Phyla Vell... :(
Thanks AA, that gives me a good start! I couldn't find LP's Gamora on his site, though (maybe I'm dense?).
I have to admit, I didn't actually know what that was, AA, so I had to look her up. I'm afraid she's a bit after the timeline I'm working with, but you never know what the future may bring. :)
Gamora can be found here (http://catman.freedomforceforever.com/pages/marvel.html) and here (http://forceofparadox.byethost31.com/hoss20.html) (look under "Marvel Heroes" for Pip AND Gamora! :D)
Thanks Spyder! Unfortunately it looks like the Gamora link on Force of Paradise is broken.
Oh, yep! You're right!
Let me see if I have her on my backup drive. If I do, I'll send her to you.
Thanks Spyder!

Thanks guys! :D I'll sort through these and update my list soon.
In the interim, I seem to be missing some textures for the stormbreaker throw fx. Can anyone send them my way?
:EDIT: Also, can someone skope count_nefaria tvlite to give him a flying melee?

I want to say that someone else was having issues with the "Stormbreaker" FX, Jimaras8 maybe? I seem to remember that I had adjusted the FX for him, which, if I'm remembering correctly, let me see if I can find it for you.
Got your Back Benton, give me about 5 Minutes or so to give it a touch-up, and to adjust the Text File, then I'll send it on over.
Yes CB you remember correct. The hammers's texture is a little shady and lacks the yellow hue of the effect that follows it. I assume it's easy to fix. The only issue is with the color, at least it was for me. Benton if i remember correct Gren also did a Count Nefaria and C6 skinned it. Do you want me to send it your way, i am certain it has a flying melee.
Sorry Benton, kept dozing off while I was working, tomorrow.
Benton, I sent you my Gamora skope w/LP's skin and a copy of Gren's Count Nefaria with flying melee animations added to the keyframes. It has the standard ones along with the super speed flying melee. It's really late here, so forgive my email for not having any pleasantries, just the files.
Thanks guys!
I've got a new one for y'all. Would anyone be willing to skope a bite animation (or something that can pass for such) into Tigershark69's keys? I'm missing a readme for the mesh, but the keys look like standard male_basic, so it should be pretty simple. Alternately, can anyone send me existing keys with such an animation?
:EDIT: New stuff.
What kinds of futuristic robots are out there? I want something medium sized, not gigantic.
What kinds of futuristic planes are out there?
I'm thinking of minions for Kang, and I've got a plan; I just need the right resources.
I remember the "Battle_Armor" mesh being a cool looking Robot that you could use.
It will need reskinning because it's a guy wearing armor, but it's still cool!

Gren's "Male_Basic_Fighter" Keys have a headbutt type animation (I think it's those ones, I'm kind of dozing off here). https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Grenadiermeshes11/info
I just sent you keyframes with an added headbutt animation. As I mention in the email, throw a "CHOMP" FX on it and you should be good to go.
Thanks Hoss!
Alright guys, just a quick question today. What types of skins are out there fore Cable? I've got C6's and AA's new skope, both of which are awesome, but I'm just curious about what other looks of his have been done, if any.
Here's an unrelated followup. Can anyone send me Val's Eldar Hover Bike? I think that will serve as a nice minion for Kang.
Actually, I found a nice skope KSsaint did for me for the DCUG mod. Would anyone be willing to toy with his skin a bit (he gives permission in his readmes) to make it fit Kang? Changing the coloring and the symbol on the bike should do it just fine.
On a similar vein, would someone make a sci-fi skin for the Raptor Rider skope? Just using the same skin from the hoverbike should have a nice effect.
:EDIT: Here's another one, are there any purple-ish skins for animals or monsters that might serve as summoned minions for Klaw?

Are we talking Atlantean "Kang"? If so, and if Daglob give's the ok (Since it is his Skin), I might be able to do something with that.
On a similar vein, would someone make a sci-fi skin for the Raptor Rider skope? Just using the same skin from the hoverbike should have a nice effect.
Is this for the MA Mod? I have those Atlanteans that Daglob did such amazing Skins for. I don't know if it's within my Skoping ability to put these Atlanteans on the Hover Bikes, but I would be willing to try.
:EDIT: Here's another one, are there any purple-ish skins for animals or monsters that might serve as summoned minions for Klaw?
While I haven't seen any Purple-ish Skins floating around yet. If you could find Versions that were Skinned by someone on the Kitt-Bashing Permissions List, then we could do a simple re-color for this.
Hey CB, thanks for the response man!
1) This is for Kang the Conqueror. I forgot all about his Atlantean namesake! I should have clarified. KS does give full permission for use of his work in his readmes, though, and he was a huge supporter of my mods.
2) Ohh, I definitely have your Marvel Atlanteans. They're awesome, but this is for the OTHER Kang. :D What I'd like is for someone to take the male_basic skin that they tweak for the hoverbike (basically, just giving him blue skin should do the trick), and drop him into the raptor_rider folder. I think that's pretty much all that would be required.
3) I'll look into the KB list!
CB, as always, you're the man. :D
:EDIT: So, it looks like Zuludelta's Big_Cat_Versatile skin gives permission for KB.
The others that would be best would be TJ's gorilla and the eagle mesh, but I don't think they can be KBed.
:doh:
Sorry Benton, I'm not quite there today, you typed "Kang", and I read "Krang". Definitely my bad.
I don't have any straight "Male_Basic" type "Kang" Skins that can be Kitt-Bashed, but, Detourne_Me has a "Kang" Skin/Skope that might be workable (Plus DM is on the Kitt-Bashing List), I'm a little rusty, but if you send me KSSaints' Skope, I'll see what I can do.
There are a good number of Kang minions in the Great Hunt mod for :ff:
I'll be able to pack them up and send them to you later, if you want, Benton ^_^
Thanks Spyder, I had forgotten all about those guys!
Howdy folks, I've got another request. I want to brighten up my Galactus_v2 because he's a bit dim in FF2. The mesh works fine in game, but he won't open properly in nifskope and gives me an error message.
Quote
"failed to load block number 217 (NiSkinPartition) previous block was NiSkinData"
"failed to load nif from 'C:/Program Files/Irrational Games/Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich/Custom/Art/library/characters/Galactus_v2/character.nif'"
I can't save him after I make alterations either. Could an experienced skoper take a look at the mesh and either lighten it or fix it so I can do so?
:EDIT: So, apparently this was caused by running the Python Ghosting fix. I can't edit at least several of the meshes I ran it on in Nifskope! What do I do?
Thanks!
Just run him through the EZNifConvert again. I get this problem very rarely, and running him through the NifConverter always seems to work.
Thanks Spyder!
Howdy guys! I've got a new request for my Marvel mod. I've got an excellent skope of a Superskrull with the powers of all the X-Men, but I wonder if someone could help me with KF skoping. This fellow has nice keys for his Wolverine and Colossus powers, but he would really benefit with a Cyclops type ranged animation or two and a Nightcrawler teleport animation. Anyone willing to help me out?
This might be above my Skill Level, but if no one else jumps in, I'd be glad to give it a try.
Send the skope my way, Benton, or let me know where you got him. I know Daglob has one and I thought Johnny Patches had made one with all of his Skrull creations, but didn't see it on Alex's site.
Thanks Hoss! I appreciate the help!
So, I've got another request. What is out there for Baron Strucker? Actually, let me add a few more things:
Modok
AIM troops
Arnim Zola

Well, I have several AIM meshes, and I know that Alex has some as well, under C6 I believe. I also have several AIM vehicles that I've acquired over the years. I'll have to look to see what I have for Modok and Arnim :)
Cyber Burn has a AIM thug someplace too.
There are several Baron Struckers, one by C6, one with the Satan Claw, and I did one of him in powered armor. He's also the standard of Johnny Patches' Big Wheel2 at Alex's Freedom Fortress. (and I just had an idea for a scope of him...)
There are two MODOKs that I know of, one by Valandar, one by the Beyonder.
Someplace I have a copy of Arnim Zola for FFv3R. Bearded made a more recent version, but I have had a devil of a time skinning it.
I'm using the AIM_TJ mesh, and I highly recommend it. If I remember right, it has multiple rifle and handgun animations, and I think a grenade throw. The only downside to the keyframes that I recall is that all of the gun animations are multiple contact, so beams are very expensive; I had to go back & change them all to projectile.
Quote from: daglob on March 08, 2016, 05:23:46 AM

The AIM Skope that I have is by Flash_22798. He left us before it could be Skinned or released. Daglob was kind enough to provide a Skin for it for me. I've been planning on messing with the Skope to give myself a wider variety of Cannonfodder to knock around, in which case, I'd be glad to send what I have your way.
Well, unsurprisingly, y'all are awesome!
DG, would you mind sending me those first two Struckers and those two Modoks?
Hmm, I could have SWORN I had AIM_TJ, but apparently not. Would someone be so kind as to send that my way?
Here are a few more:
Someone in the last few years put out some particularly great New Mutants skopes and skins, and I thought it was Pod and Windblown, but I remember there being more than I can find. I've found Cannonball and Sunspot, but I can't find the rest. I KNOW I've seen more. What is out there for these?:
-Karma
-Magma
-Mirage
-Warlock
-Wolfsbane
On another note, I'm looking for:
-Classic Nick Fury, Agent of Shield (I seem to remember a modern-ish skope)
-Forge (same)
As for Nick, I have several. One by Grenadier with a cigar and rocket pack, one that goes on a Taskmaster mesh, and I think I have some for Male Rifle and one (or more) of the Punisher meshes. I think I have some for Male Belt Guns that I have changed to go on Phantom DX.
Whatcha want?
And Force, Struker, and the AIM guys are on their way.
That Gren one sounds perfect DG!

I believe WB did do a NM set, but I only got the males. I think he was going to collaborate with someone else on the rest.
AA, LP, and myself have all done NM sets in the past.
Have you gotten the "AIM_TJ" Mesh yet?
Yes indeed, thanks!
Pod, that sounds right, but I can't find those characters. I know I've seen them, though.

I don't believe they were ever completed or released. WB will know for sure.
Thanks CB! I didn't see them on LP's site.
Pod, I've contacted him. Thanks! Also, your Cannonball skope/skins is/are freaking beautiful. You've made my life very difficult, as I have to decide what version I want to go with for the mod!
I've made a few New Mutants skopes for the women, kittbashed from AA's work after he gave permission. I kind of stopped working on them though after I saw the amazing stuff Windblown was doing for his skopes, I could send them your way if you'd like.
Hey BG, I've skoped these New Mutants:
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Windblow85/NewMutantsv3-2_zpsc53c1771.jpg)
Here they are in action:
- Karma, Mirage & Magma. (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Windblow85/media/NewMutants_zps5a176694.mp4.html)
- Cannonball (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Windblow85/media/Cannonball_zpsxaxtf6bq.mp4.html)
- Sunspot (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Windblow85/media/Sunspot_zps3yfaljoy.mp4.html)
- Wolfsbane (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Windblow85/media/Wolfsbane_zpshvulptnx.mp4.html)
- Magik (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Windblow85/media/Magik2_zpshlcuk5mg.mp4.html)
- Warlock (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/Windblow85/media/Warlock_zpsda4fcc8f.mp4.html)
Most of them weren't released yet. AfghanAnt has all of them but I think he still didn't finish of skinning them (most of the skopes have several bodies so they'll take him a while). Magik and Cannonball are AA's skopes with new animations added btw.
The only released ones were Cypher and Sunspot, both of them skinned by Pod (I think his Sunspot is not on the last version of the skope though).
Ahh! That's where I've seen these guys! I knew it! Ha, those are, as I believe I've said elsewhere, amazing! Warlock is particularly impressive. I definitely need to get my hands on these skopes and see what I can do with them.
Darn it AA! :D You've got to finish these skins!
Thanks DM!

True.
Hey guys, I know that Tommy released a Helicarrier object, but did anyone ever make a Helicarrier map?
No reason. :rolleyes:
I think Tommy did, and had it hovering over NYC. Check his site.
Ahh, got it! Thanks DG!
Here's a new one, did Gren make any SHILED agents other than Sitwell? What is out there for Sharon Carter?
I've got a bunch of SHIELD Agents, most scopes of that Nick Fury I sent you, but others Female Versatile and maybe Tom Versatile.
On the topic of SHIELD, you are aware of C6's SHIELD skin packs, yes? For the tm_basic_belt_holster mesh (or maybe just tm_belt_holster). He had skins for Nick, Sitwell, Dooley, and Bridge, as well 6 random SHIELD agents.
Just sayin'.

Unkoman has one at HeroForce: http://heroforce.freedomforceforever.com/unkoman.html
I believe Zuludelta also made a number of shield agents. Some generic ones, Dum Dum Duggan, GW Bridge, and a few others. I believe they are in uis yahoogroups, or accessible through NPI wayback machine.
Thanks guys! I like Unko's Sharon Carter a lot. I think I'll use that one.
DM, ah, I have found those guys.
I seem to remember a more modern Dum Dum in the classic blue and white, but maybe I'm imagining that.
Did anyone ever make Clay Quartermain, especially in the blue and white?

http://forceofparadox.byethost31.com/grenadier_one.html
Under "Avengers"
There's also a skin by LP in his section (same name)
Thanks Spyder, and thanks to DG for sending me a great pile of stuff!
Can anyone send me male_basic_rifle keys?
Didn't someone make an updated Forge not too long ago?
What's out there for Sunfire?
So, no ideas for Quartermain? Anyone willing to take a crack at him for me?
http://comicvine.gamespot.com/images/1300-86896
I'd like a version of him in the classic SHIELD white and blue.
I've also got a skoping request. Is anyone willing to skope ZD's Dum Dum Dugan skope to provide him with a heavier weapon and the keys to use it?
here's a quick one, what do you think BG?

That sucks, AA! I've lost a lot of my own work with similar mishaps, so I can relate, here. :(
DM, that is awesome! I love the mini-gun, very cool.
AA, oh no! Now I'm bummed too! That's terrible. I'm sorry man, I can imagine how frustrating that must be. I'm still smarting over the DCUG campaigns (Green Arrow and others) I lost some years back.
Give me about 5 minutes or so, and I'll have some "Sunfire" Skin and Mesh options sent your way.
Edit: 2 Meshes, and a few Skins sent.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/kfy3q6v65u2unib/Dugan_tv_Jik_skope.zip
Here's a link to that Dugan skope.
It's based on Jik's XCom_male_light_rocket, Tomato's Male_Football_basic, and Tomyboy's Male_Versatile, The skin is by Zuludelta and the standard skin for the gun is by Jik.
SQUEE!!!
You can hex that particular mesh down to Male Basic and stick one of C6's Punisher skins on it, too...
Is it my imagination, or did someone make this version of Arnim Zola?
http://www.marveldirectory.com/pictures/individuals/a_1d/arnimzola.gif
I sort of thought Gren had done it, but I'm not seeing it on Force of Paradox.
Well, if it's Arnim Zola you're looking for, Bevo did his classic look available here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/suttercain50/files
At the risk of being a smart-alec, you posted a picture of Baron Strucker.
Ha, bah! I even realized that and thought I had fixed it! :P
Thanks Hoss! I thought I remembered there being another one. Is that the only version of his classic look out there?
There is a skin for a mesh, I can't remember the name though. Big, ugly sucker with an eyeball on a stalk.
i want to say thatit was called the mindjammer, or mindhammer, or something like that.

What is out there for Ms. Marvel in her classic red and blue costume? I see AA's beautiful skin, but the skope she is on is very limited in keys.

Also, what skins are out there for Forge?
I have AA's Ms. Marvel skoped onto the Ms. Marvel LP did, if you want that.
As for Forge, I haven't a clue.
There is one based on either Cable or The Punisher.
I've got a few "Forge" Meshes/Hexes/Skins that I could send your way if you're interested.
EDIT: I went ahead and sent the "Forge" Meshes that I have, and I got your E-Mail, I'll see what I can do with it. :D
Thanks guys! As always, you're awesome. I've got a new set of questions and requests following:
Spyder, please do send me that skoped Ms. Marvel!
Folks have mentioned having some Hydra and AIM vehicles. Does anyone have anything they'd like to share with me?
I'm thinking I'll throw the Serpent Society into the mix. I've gotten everything LP has, but I'm missing a few that I know I've seen someplace.
What is out there for Death Adder?
How about Eel?
Also, I've got a request. Would anyone be willing to skin Blastaar on Tommy's Blastaar_thv?

Very much appreciated PG, thank you. :thumbup:
Uh uh, PG, I'm retired pretty much on the skin making. Not going to get me back in the game that easily.

I sent you the Blastaar that I've been using for quite some time. It uses a hex by Captain Wigster of the male_skirt_sash_hair_beard mesh with a skin by Plankton, I believe. I really like it and it should reduce the need to create anything new.
Thanks guys!
Here's a new one. I'm working on Arnim Zola, and I see that he tends to have summoned genetic creations that he uses. What do y'all use for such creatures?
There are a lot of meshes with multiple arms and heads, spikes, tails and such. I have a skin for the Hunchback mesh with Lon Chaney Sr.'s face, and Boris and Bela on the Double Header mesh...
What about some of Val's D&D meshes, reskinned & repurposed?
Thanks guys! DG sent me some great stuff that I think will work.
I've got two more pieces I need help with.
First, what's out there for Princess Python? I apparently don't have her.
Second, I have LP's Bushmaster skin/skope, and it is beautiful, but apparently very limited in keys. I need some more melee keys to work with. Can anyone help me out?
Actually, that was the first skope I ever made for LP. It was quite some time ago. We had talked about giving him an update, now that I've become reasonably proficient in skoping keyframes. I believe he asked me to make him a bit taller, as well.
:doh:
Well, what do you know? I just checked him out while I was posting this and I had already added some appropriate melee animations (like a year and a half ago, yeesh). I just need to reorient his base position and we should be golden.
For Princess Python, I have a vx_hex by Zuludelta with a skin by him. It comes with two snake skins for Bearded's snake_small mesh, but unfortunately, she doesn't have the python draped over her shoulders. Aren't there some snake or serpent FX that you could maybe use for that? I'll send her your way along with Bushmaster.
Quetlcoatl has a snake power that actually surrounds the enemy, so that should work for Princess Python somehow.
ALSO: Now you tell me you updated Bushmaster? ;)
I think Zuludelta's is the only Princess Python out there. I wanted to skin her when doing the other Serpent Society members but she wasn't really a member for a long time.
...and Bushmaster has been updated. I made him a little taller and replaced the melee animations with ones that can actually be used in combat. :thumbup: Benton, I sent him your way along with the Princess Python that I had mentioned.

God, this is embarrassing. I just went through my library of skins and meshes that I've accumulated over the years, from a vast variety of sources, and discovered, to my surprise, that i don't have one single version of Blastaar. I, for one, Hoss, would be interested in seeing that one myself, if you wouldn't mind sending it to me :)
It's on its way. I used your Yahoo email that I found in a previous post. If you don't get it, let me know.

Hey guys, are there any male VX keys that have biting animations or things that can fake it?
VX_Morbius maybe? Or vx_Baron_Blood? That's the only two I can think of.
You could use one of the headbutt animations as a potential bite attack...is an idea.
Thanks for the recommendations guys! I though Baron Blood or Morbius might be good options, but Blood at least doesn't seem to have any bite anims. Do any VX meshes have headbutt anims?
Here's a new one, guys. I'm having trouble editing AA's new Vanisher's keys. I'm trying to do something really simple, just edit the number of contacts on an animation, but for some reason, the keys stop working after I do it. Would anybody with more skope-fu than me be willing to give this a look?
Whoops, I just was saving the files wrong. I've got it now!
AA's new Vanisher keyframes? :huh:
Did I miss a download, or was this a personal file?
:wacko:
Woah! Another release on the horizon maybe?
Personal, but AA previewed the skope/skin, and I'm sure he'll release it eventually.
Just to be clear, these are just the keys that came with AA's Vanisher. I don't know that he did anything custom with them (though he may have).
I'm going to have some really awesome AA work in the Brotherhood who will feature in a new X mission for the Marvel Mod.
And here's a different request, one that is probably pie-in-the-sky. I've got Super Skrull set up, but I'm a little limited by his keys, especially when it comes to his stretchiness. I'm working from AA's Super Skrull skope, and I'm wondering if there is anyway to get some stretching keys on him, or him on a mesh with stretchy keys.
Also, is there anyone out there who has at least some light photoshop skills, some spare time, and want to help out with the mod? I'm toying with the idea of creating some custom loading screens from classic comic covers, but I'd like to work with someone to do that so I don't get distracted from the business at hand.
:EDIT: I also just realized that I need a new ranged animation for the Skrull Ossus skope. He needs a Cyclops-esq ranged anim, anything that looks like an eyebeam attack.
:Edit 2: Anyone want to skin Tommy's Death_adder_tvlite for me?
https://greyzealot.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/deathadder-ohotmume-a.jpg
Can anyone help me out?
And here's another one. Can someone send me the snake and snake_small meshes?
I can do some keyframe skoping for you. Just send me the AA keys and i'll see wha I can do. As for the Skrullossus skope. Is it male_heavy based? Or based on Beyonder's colossus? Ive got a few ideas for keyframes for eyeblasts. Gren has a few male_heavy keyframe sets that might be useful. And if its based on Beyonder's work, i think his Darkseid keys might be compatible (or at least not cause much stretching/warping of the mesh.
Awesome, thanks DM!
I'm not sure about the base for Skrullossus, as he doesn't have a readme. I'll send it on to you with Super Skrull.
Daglob has generously offered to do Death Adder for me, and he sent me snake_small.
I sorted out the keys for Vanisher (I realized that Nifskope was just saving the files wrong).

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I though Baron Blood or Morbius might be good options, but Blood at least doesn't seem to have any bite anims. Do any VX meshes have headbutt anims?
What could work is the melee_4 animation from VX's brute_keyframes. It is a headbutt animation, but being a VX mesh, the mouth opens during the animation and it can definitely pass for a bite attack. I believe these are the default keyframes for VX_male_muscled mesh. I think I may have added it to my Baron Blood and Morbius keyframes a while ago and forgot that the animation did not come with the original keyframes.
Ahh, would you send those my way Hoss?
Some new things:
First, what's out there for the Starjammers?
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/6/64/X-Men_Spotlight_on_Starjammers_Vol_1_1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20071030015142
Does Mastermold exist?
Are there any keys for the FFcar mesh?
I think i have all the Starjammers. Have to look. Hephzibah, I'm pretty sure.
I also have Master Mold. He is on his way.
Thanks DG!
So guys, I've seen a reference to a 'corsair_ink' mesh in a HF, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know of such a thing?
I've got that one. I think it was released without keyframes, but I don't remember. Not at home, but have access to my FF stuff. PM me your e-mail again and I'll send it your way.
DG just sent it to me, but the keys don't seem to work. If you've got working keys, send 'em my way: username@yahoo.com.
:EDIT: I've got it, and all is well.
So, I just need some keys for FF_Car_02 if any exist.

The Original Zip File is located here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/webridermeshes1/info
It's by Webrider, which I believe means is off limits in regards to Skoping. The "FF_Car_02" Mesh only has 3 Animations, "Idle", "Land", and "Take-Off".
Ahh, I thought it might be something like that. Thanks CB!
Maybe Tommyboy's Avengers' Quinjet, or one of Valandar's Vehicles could be adapted for what you need?
Thanks CB, but I think I can make the car work. :)

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with Nifskope, and I need a bit of help for something I would normally do on my own. If I try to copy an animation, the keys stop working when I save it. Would someone please copy ranged_gun_2 on AIM TJ and make a one leave_hand anim?
And a last minute request for two folks I forgot, what do we have for Lorna Dane, a.k.a. Polaris (X-costume) and Dazzler?
Ink did all the X-Women I'm pretty sure. Which version of Polaris do you want? I'm partial to the Steranko version, but I'm not sure there is one . And which Dazzler?
For Polaris, I think Matrix was pretty thorough: http://web.archive.org/web/20050219100422/http://newpowerinc.com/matrixpages/matrixms4.htm
Also has a couple of Dazzler Skins as well.

I had done this already for Ren's AIM_Handgun_TJ. I was able to take the animation and plug it into the original AIM_TJ keyframes. I've sent this to you along with the VX Brute_keyrames and my Morbius keys, in case you want to just take the already added and renamed animation from there.
A gift for Benton's Mod. :)

More to come....
She looks lovely, AA! :thumbup:
Oooo... purty.
Man! How lucky am I? I ask for a little, simple update to an already lovely skin, and what do I get? Not only does the man himself gracious consent, but he creates an all new GORGEOUS skin! I love the colors on her, AA. The highlights really make her pop. I also really like where your face work has evolved to. :thumbup:
Thanks for all the various skins and keys, guys! That was all very helpful! :)
Thats beautiful :)
wow :wub: She is perfect, the face is fantastic (I really like her nose). It's great to see the evolution of your skinning, you're an amazing skinner (and I already liked the original skin!).

And a last minute request for two folks I forgot, what do we have for Lorna Dane, a.k.a. Polaris (X-costume) and Dazzler?
I've put flight and forcefield effects for dodge to AfghanAnt's Polaris. She's at my section in freedomforceuniverse if you want to check, not sure if that costume is ok for you, but I can skope the one that you want (I like the character a lot). The same for Dazzler (I´ve been working in a skope for her for a bit), if you can't find the costume that you want I can skope something for you, you should find somebody to skin it though.
I actually just downloaded that one WB, you and AA did a wonderful job on it! :)

I'm in a Marvel mood and trying to power through Windblown's meshes he entrusted in me already. If you need skins for Polaris and Dazzler, we should team up.
FYI. I finally finished skinning Wolfbane's wolf-form it is all downhill from here...until Warlock. Don't even know how to begin with doing him justice yet.
Ha! Yeah...Warlock is a unique challenge, both for the skinner, and for the modder. I'm not entirely sure what to do with him myself.
I've got a really nice Dazzler of LP's, and I've got your excellent Polaris, so I'm set on those two. :) In fact, I'm just about 100% here, minus whatever updates you throw my way. :thumbup:

Yay!! Can't wait to see what you've done with them :) And I'm sure your Warlock is going to be great!
It is pretty cool to have the dynamic duo of Windblown and Afghan Ant teaming up to create awesome stuff for my mod. :D
On a different note, I just remembered that I still need some red, 'sound' type skins for Klaw's minions.
I'm thinking one for gorilla_tj, one for wolf, and one for eagle. Anyone interested?

Im working on a Blastaar skin if your still wanting one?

I still need to re-do the collar as im not happy with it but its almost finished.
Ohh, he's looking really nice, Deanjo! Daglob created one for me a while back, but yours looks pretty great! :)

I would probably work with the existing animal meshes, alpha enable them about 75%, add a FX texture. Probably about 1 week worth of work TBH. Do you have this meshes on hand Bent? BTW I was considering doing a giant lion for that Pyro I did for you and just never got around to it. I should have some time this weekend.
Wow, sounds like you want to do something fancy for these skins. I'm not entirely sure I understand, but it sounds pretty cool. If you're interested, I'll send the meshes to you.
I do need to add some minions for Pyro as well. Darn it! I keep forgetting things! There are a lot of moving parts in this mod. :P So yes, a flame lion would be awesome. I think there is already a flame bird around someplace, right?

I don't know if there is. I mean if I skope together these sounds animals it wouldn't be much to reskin as fire animals. Same idea. They could be used for any energy manipulator Quasar, Songbird, GL, etc. I'm really surprised no one has done this before.

I've got a basic re-color of the standard wolf skin that I use for my Klaw file. I can send it if you're interested (although, it sounds like AA's is going to be much fancier).

I believe Pyro has a Flame Bird, and a Flame Gargoyle. But I think whatever AA is planning would be more than welcome here. :thumbup:
AA, I think I still have the Zip File that has Pyro's FX, if you want to take a look at it, I'd be glad to send it to you.

Looking very nice, dean! :thumbup:
From my testing thread, here are a pair of requests:
Does anyone have the textures from Gren's Stormbreaker FX?
Can someone skope me some flying melee keys for Gren's Count Nefaria?
Here's Stormbreaker:
https://www.mediafire.com/?22y88fb130l82ag
Just plop "_textures" and "generic" in your MA/Art/Library/FX folder
Thanks Spyder!
Here's a new one. How many skins are out there for the Wasp, female_tiny_alpha?
Sent something your way...
Thanks DG, that is perfect!

Quote from: BentonGrey on July 10, 2016, 05:10:26 PMHere's a new one. How many skins are out there for the Wasp, female_tiny_alpha?
I've got 16, not counting the Standard.
I think I've got what I need for the Wasp. I don't know how I lost all of those skins...weird.
Thanks Hoss!
Okay, here's a bit of a weird one. Does anyone know what texture(s) the little hammer-type weapons in the Palace map take?
New one: What is out there for Doombots? I've got the awesome multi-minion skope CB did, but I'm wondering what other Doombot flavors might exist.
There is the Doomguard with the morphing hand.
Hmm, I don't know that one, DG.
And here's another. Just out of curiosity, did anyone ever create a Fantasticar mesh?
And one more. I need something to serve as a Negative Zone denizen/monster. Suggestions? I could either go for small, alien type creatures the types that serve Annihilus and Blastaar, or I could go for a larger, more bestial monster.
There are a couple of Fantasticars, one a scope by Johnny Patches. Your best bet for it would be to get it from Alex's place.
Doombot's on his way.
Hmm, thanks DG! That skope is pretty fantastic! (pun unintended, I swear!)
What else is out there for Doombots?
I'm a little torn on which type of Doombot to go with. On the one hand, I like the chunky, weird design of the Kirby-era ones, but on the other, it makes fairly good sense that Doom would build an army of robots in his image.
Do Doom with Russian Doll, and have each one be the "real" one until that one is eliminated, and th new one shows up. Give one (or more) the ability to summon the Doom Guardbots. Let chaos ensue.
Haha, yeah, that would be hilarious. If this were the DCUG, I would probably do exactly that. :lol:

Send me a reminder, and I'll try to look into that one.
Hmm, I'm still not quite finding what I'm after in the way of Doombots. DG has sent me several items, but I can't find something quite right. What do y'all think, should I just use the same mesh as I'm using for Doom and go the 'the Doombots look exactly like Doom' route?
:EDIT: Okay, I've created a simple skope of my Dr_Doom_Gren mesh that I'm relatively happy with. That just leaves my negative zone cannon fodder.
Also, no suggestions for Negative Zone creatures?
Also also: Does anyone have an FF2-compatible copy map of FF1 mission 6, where you meet order for the first time?
And this is why I'm happy that what I'm currently doing isn't part of BG's Marvel Universe mod...I'd have to hussle it out instead of taking time to tinker with it. :P
Doombots: I've always made my Doombots look exactly like Doom. They are often indistinguishable from him. At least, that's how I've always known them.
Negative Zone Creatures: This one was always an issue for me. I could never find any really good pictures of his Minions, so I don't really know what to pick for them. TaskmasterX's hero files uses the Daemon mesh with a "Radioactive Daemon" skin for it (I don't know where to find that). I do recall, however, that in the FF game from 2005, Annihilus' minions were insectoids, so maybe reskinned "Soldier Ants" would work?
I don't know about Blaaster, honestly. Maybe he could have the Daemons and Annihilus has the bugs?
You need to check the Guardians of the Galaxy book (the one with Star Lord, right after Annihilation), the one where they bust into the Negative Zone prison to save Quill and gain Jack Flagg as a member (Issues 8-10, mainly 9 and 10). That one arc showed quite a few different..beastly...minions that were part of Blastaar's army. Might have a pic of them somewhere..let me look.
Okay...got pics..they aren't perfect but you can get an idea of what his troops mainly look like. Tinks for them follow...

The first link had the Tyannan (sp) and explained where the life in the Negative Zone came from. From what I gather, just about everything is fair game.
They seem pretty varied, then.
Maybe reskins of Jik's XCom enemies? :P
Haha, yeah DJ, we're in the home stretch now, and I am way past ready to have this sucker finished!
Great resources guys, thanks! Yeah, it looks like NZ life is pretty varied. I think just some generic monster type materials would be fine, as I don't think these need to necessarily be comic accurate. Is there something out there sort of vaguely insectoid or beastial along the lines that would look fitting? Are there any generic skins for the Aliens Xenomorph mesh?
I think the Twisted Earth yahoo groups have some Xenomorph skins that might be useful.
As for more bugs, the Chryssalids from the X-Com mod (or Jik's Yahoo groups) would fit well, I think
Ahh, good suggestions Spyder, I'll try those!
Can you provide a link to the Twisted Earth group?
Nevermind.
As an aside, I had no idea that there was so much content created for Twisted Earth! Was there ever a mod? Wow, just look at all of that cool stuff!
Can anyone send me Gni's alien mesh?
Here you go: https://www.mediafire.com/?39fahfk74atoeba
I'll be deleting the link tomorrow. My Mediafire account's getting cluttered :P
Thanks Spyder, I got it!
Haven't forgotten Union Jack, haven't had much PC time, but you should have it by Friday if that's alright.
When I think generic, non-specific Negative Zone monsters, my imagery tends to drift towards Cthonian-type creatures: multiple tentacles, multiple (paired or non) eyes, potentially multiple nasty looking mouths, spikes, slime, wings, etc. An un-restrained Jack Kirby. Shuma-Gorath could be a good example of what I envision, so could a Beholder (if it wasn't so well known). I have *no* idea what kinds of meshes would even exist for anything like this (other than the Beholder mesh), and I know that tentacles aren't the easiest thing to do keyframes for (I think Beyonder lost a few San points trying to get ol' Doc Ock finished), so that kind of limits possibilities.
I feel bad throwing out my two cents without any concrete help, but it might spark a memory in someone else.
There are a few "Male Basic" meshes with spikes and tails; I have a couple of noseless body types that could be dropped in on a couple of others. Tommy Male Heavy has a tail and bat wings (I think).
If someone has a generic "Male_Heavy" Skin that they want to donate for this, I may still have some Skopes that could be used, if I don't still have them, then they're easily re-creatable. I had some with weapons, some without.
I made a Sabaac skin years ago. He was like a demon anti-Shazam, you could easily repurpose the skin if you want. I think he had a pinkish hue and nyst like a demon face. He should be up in my yahoo group.
Ohh man, a lot of cool ideas and good suggestions here. I've got a nice, serviceable Negative Zone monsters using those Twisted Earth skins for the Alien mesh at the moment. If I wasn't in such a rush to be finished with this behemoth, I would gladly take y'all up on your offers, though. :D
So, I've been working on my FF campaign, and I decided that Mr. Fantastic could use a bit of a tweak. He's on Tommy's amazing mesh, but his idle animation has a bit of a twitch to it. I'm wondering if it is possible to add a different idle to that mesh, and if so, what is compatible? Secondly, in general, is there any way to speed up animations, make them play faster? Tommy gave Reed a really cool stretching ranged attack, but it plays a little too slowly to quite match up with contact.
Once upon a time, someone fixed the little robot factory map for me, the one with the big chasm in the middle. Someone made it so that characters couldn't fall through anymore. If you remember who you are and could resend me that file, I would really appreciate it.
how about idle_b for Reed? that's the one I switch it to.
I think it would be possible with some skoping to speed up keys. just change all of the time signatures in a set i guess. gotta make sure they all line up, and it should work.

I fixed the twitch in his idle animation. Which ranged attack did you want sped up? I would say, it's either ranged_15 or ranged_3 as the other ranged stretching attacks move at a decent speed. I have an idea on how to do it in Nifskope and will give it a shot.
D'oh! I thought this one didn't have alt idles. Thanks DM!
Hoss, there are a lot of them that are close to the right speed, but not quite there. Ranged_9 has a nice, straight trajectory, so that one and ranged_15 could both be useful. Ideally, they'd visually make contact about the same time as the normal speed invisible beam would.
:EDIT: I don't know what's going on with me and this mesh. I was tweaking ranged_9, only to discover that it was actually too fast! Anyway, I slowed it down some, but I can't hit ranged_15 right.
Anyone have any wisdom to offer about that map? How would one plug that giant hole?
I figured the map out!
:EDIT2: So, I've been screwing with animation times in Nifskope, and I'm pretty sure I'm not actually changing anything. I can change the leave_hand or contact time, but that's really it. If I change the end time or the like, the animation still plays out the same. Perhaps Hoss will have better luck with this than I am. I'd love to tweak the speed of some of Mr. F's anims, and some of the Torch's as well.
Okay, I have been screwing with the animations of Mr Fantastic, and I think I've got everything just about where I want it. The only niggling thing left is the run animation. I like the stretchy one, but it is a bit too much. I think I'd rather just a regular run animation. The default one is a bit awkward. Is there any mesh I can import animations in from?

Maybe male_basic's run animation will work? I tried plopping the Plastic_Man_TJ run animation in, but no dice. There will have to be some bone adjustments for it to work.
Using any rstandardun animation from a male_basic keyframe set will work with tommyboy's Mr F. The problem is there may be some visual glitches if a player makes the character do something immediately after running, instead of waiting for an idle or melee_idle animation to play, 'reseting' the mesh.
The run from Plas definitely wouldn work as it requires a whole other set of nodes to call upon.
I think the best way to get what you want BG is to take a standard run animation, then add the niKeyframe Controllers from all of the other nodes mr. F. uses in his normal run animation to the standard run animation.
I believe the same adjustment I made to fix the default idle animation can be used on the run animation as well. I'll give it a shot and let you know. The problem is that the mesh does not end up in the same position it started and because the animation is looping; it causes a flicker when the animation starts over again.
Howdy guys, can anyone send me the keys for vx_sunfire? They apparently didn't make it into my Marvel Adventures folder...somehow, and I deleted the originals.

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Vertex_Meshes_06/info
The Sunfire mesh doesn't come with Keyframes, but any VX Keys should work.
Thanks CB.
Curses...what I need are the same keys I had in that mesh...and I'm not sure which they were. I don't want to have to mess with his character build that much.
What if you drop a set of Keys in the Folder and see whether or not the Character's Point Value changes? If it does, then switch to another set of Keys. Would something like that work?
Try the vx energy projector kf. I think those are the right ones.
Thanks guys, I figured it out. I couldn't find the keys he had, but I managed to find some close enough that I could make them work by adjusting.
