well we are coming into a new year with all new ideas.my thread is for easy,simple ideas we can all share to extend our game play.something that pops in your head and you want to share with everyone!i cant skin,mesh,or map BUT i have a head full of imagination.here's a few....1.) daglob's red skull skin on housequakes calus mesh at NPI in the insider's section for a armored red skull.(poor old cap). 2.) c6's doc doom skin on ren's prof. hulk mesh.it's my thing-buster armor.even has a gun for cheating.(clobber him ben!). 3.) ever wonder what the leader would look like with the hulks power?throw either of c6's leader skins on ren's prof. hulk too. also...glad you liked my spiderman idea zivon.thanks for hooking us up!ALL ideas are welcome!!! :thumbup:
cool hulkbuster skope by jp huh?until a suitable skin comes along for it( hope soon ) try Blkcasanova's ironman skins from his latest tommyboy ironman skope.it pretty well covers it for now.
dont know if anyone knows yet but johnny p has released 2 diff.male_heavy scopes at his sight.suggestion....ips's new beast kf's and any classic hairless beast skins on MH_Scope_1. perfect guys!
anybody remember the sparkle effect given off when the old capt.mar-vell would fly? take gren's male_basic_fx,put a cap marvel skin in the skins folder,take the fx tga-s from AA's mr.miracle mesh( his first one ) and place in the cap marvell folder.now instead of flames he has cosmic sparkles.
well,i dont remember seeing the brainiac-bots ever released so if you still want a big b-bot or just want your brainiac big try this...its awsome!go to alex's freedom fortress to the skins section,go to c-6's site,go to his DC skins and get his brainiac.then go here and get the apocalypse_newarmor hex http://www.fxforce.com/HEXEDMESHES.html change the male_basic.tga's in the brainiac skin to male_heavy.tga.put the skin in the skins folder.i use ips apocalypse kfs.looks very good.let me know if you like ANY of my ideas.have fun guys!
Your ideas are certainly food for thought.
I enjoy reading them; I still haven't tried any yet (the Balck Bat one is definitely on my list), and , as you know, I did a Red Skull skin for the Noman mesh after you suggested it (and Renegade has a Skull mesh in the works-maybe in 2009?). Maybe you don't get a lot of feedback because everyone is too busy using the mixes in combat? Or it could be that right now it's the holidays, and everyone is busy with other stuff.
what little i do its my way of saying THANKS to all you guys\gals who's talent makes this game so fun!you guys are the ones that get the credit! :thumbup:

Personally, I'm really glad that this thread is here. It's encouraged me to try out different combos with skins/meshes. So thank you.
And too add to the mix - n - match, if you put FLASH22798's Box skins on either Grenadier's Male_Hulking_Brute or Renegade's Hulk_Professor meshes, you get a pretty cool Box.
any body want a big doom-bot with red eyes?take C6's doc doom skin and put it on the Darksied_V2_basic hex here http://www.fxforce.com/HEXEDMESHES.html . cant have enough doombots!it uses the darkseid kf( i think comes with it ).
stumbled across this mix up but take inks imperial guard tempest mesh and throw in the skins folder bobby 69's standard iceman skin and grens standard human torch skin.they would make good elemental twins of fire & ice.i gave the fire twin tempest's yellow hair.
Souix City Dynamo did a scope of Sparky from The Crusaders (basically DC's version of The Invaders). You do realize that this is a kid sized Human Torch, didn't you? I've put a couple of Human Torch skins on him so as to have a kid-sized Toro, and put Afghan Ant's Kid Miracleman skin on him with the fire file from The Big Blue Bananna himself. Put a Classic Iceman skin on him and you have Bobby Drake as a kid.
cool!ive got the sparky but havent tried any combo's.i will now!
There are a lot of other possibilities for the Human Torch mesh and the Male Basic Effects mesh that is designed so that different effects can stream from different parts of the body. That's how I did Equinox, and have him emmiting both fire and snow. I'll probably release a Sunspot soon that emits black dots. I did the original Captain Atom skins for the Human Torch mesh so that they would have atom symbols around them.
Take C6's Redtornado skin(normal not redesign), listed on Alex FF, and put it on the Timm_Superman mesh. This is the closest i've gotten to the JLU Redtornado. Now for the whole flying tornado thing... :blink:
captain marvel looks good also on the timm_superman.only problem is the capes.caps cape skin only covers 3/4 of the super m. cape. another idea is the skope rev did of rens martian manhunter mesh.take the disc's off its chest and it makes a VERY good vision.

rofl didn't say squat about mine. Not everything I talk about has to do with meshes I've made :P
well guys, try it out and see what you think.i thought it looked pretty cool.i put one of c6's skins on it.all ideas are just a matter of each persons opinion.some like them,some dont.i just do what i can do with my forrest gump skill level.these are all just extensions of you guys' super ideas.i have nothing but the highest respect for everyone here and would NEVER want to offend anyone.its nice to see an idea come to life.
I can see where you are coming from on the Vision/Martian Manhunter thing. He was drawn with a much heavier frontal lobe in some of his earlier appearances. Although that could just be my fading memories of childhood perspectives. :)
Martian Manhunter started out with the big heavy brow (http://idol-head.blogspot.com/2008/02/detective-comics-227-156.html) in the '50s, which was replaced by a more normal-looking face (http://idol-head.blogspot.com/2007/10/house-of-mystery-146-1064.html) in the '60s and '70s. Then when they brought him back in the '80s, they reinstated the big brow (http://idol-head.blogspot.com/2007/09/justice-league-of-america-annual-2-1984.html). So take your pick. ;)
the vision being an android, i thought the brow gave him a not-so-human appearance.i still think it looks cool.oh well....time to move on to some other idea.
anyone wanting a bwana beast without hexxing weapons off look here...http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ToxicJ-M-skins4/files/...i gave it tj's gremlin kfs at NPI and he looks cool running on all fours.kennx has another skin on his original bwana mesh at alex's ff.anyone want to make another skin?
one of your best finds yet! Great work! :D
here's a skin/mesh combo that works good for a rock monster,the stone guy from the world war hulk series,or throw on the thing_mk2 skin for an original thing look.use atomic robots ar_clayface_2 skin on S. city dynamo's magma mesh.the magma mesh has nif's without the fx also in the folder. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/atomicrobotskins/files/1.%20Batman%20Skins/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dynamicdesigns/files/ i gave it diff. fk's.i think grens MHV_Juggernaut kf's.looks cool.let me know what anybody thinks.
oops!its the thing_mk1 here....http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/characterobscura/files/
i like getting a skrull skin and adding it to renegade's martian manhunter mesh to get a Skrullian Skymaster.
cool!if your in the market for a skrullian skymax heres one...http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Fusionmeshes4/files/ and if you check one of c6's sites he has a squadron skin pack with an excellent skin for that mesh.
I thought this fit aquardly well.

The dr manhattan from rorschach's yahoo group on the male mr incredible mesh. It looks kinda good!A great cartoon look at least(hense the quote).
Oh my gosh that is awesome!
heres one that looks cool.put the c6 maddog skin here...http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Courtnall6_skins2/files/ on the shadowhawk mesh here...http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dynamicdesigns/files/ havent tried it yet but tj's gremlin or AA's wildchild kf's might work good with this combo.
ooo, where can i find the mr incredible mesh? thanks.
right here my friend...http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/hitmansuperskope/files/
thanks, i'll check this out.
ok,needed some kf's for the pinstripe_nogun mesh.thought oh what the heck i'll throw a male_heavy kf in it and see what happens.it worked.i used grens ironclad kf's and it's perfect.this mesh also comes standard with a kingpin skin.sweet!!!then i remembered seeing ben grimm and mr fixit skins for it but couldnt remember where.frustration set in.then...BOOM!!!...i remembered!go to fx force in the skins section.go to soulmania and you'll find them!also heres where the pinstripe mesh is...http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/capnwighexmesh2/files/
was playin' around and came up with a cool hulkbuster ironman. 1.)go to REDHEXES site and look in file:character meshes hexed.get his crimson_dynamo_nohelmet hex. 2.)go to c6's 2nd site and get his ironman current armor file. 3.) go to gren's 9th site and look for his ironman MKVII mesh. ok, take the c6 skin and place in the hex's skin file.make sure you change all the male_basic.tga's to male_heavy.then in the MKVII ,remove all the mk7_extras files and place in the ironman file you just put in the crim.dynamo hex.change the mk7_extra files to dynamo_extra files.on the hex nif file rename it just character .find a set of good male_heavy kf's and there you go.looks very good!if anyone tries it out,let me know what you think.also, heres were you need to go to collect everything. http://yearbook.freedomu.info/yahoolist.htm
modern armor on left and hulkbuster on right.heres what he looks like. http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww276/herodad1/PB130067.jpg
love vamps avatar!if it didnt have the toe thing going on this is what it'd look like with batmans skin on it.really looks like a bat-man now. http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww276/herodad1/PB150065.jpg

Cool, you do know you can hit prtsc and go to paint to create screenshots right?
ive tried but it doesnt work.even the suggestions before didnt work.i have very limited know-how when it comes to computers.batmans skin does look cool on vamps avatar though.

This intrigues me... I might be experimenting with a certain bat-clawed hero when i get home. :) Nothing extreme, but if the skin looks good, we might have a potential skope. Not from me ofcourse, but this certain character has gone to long unskoped.
ok, ive got a cool combo but i need help with it.i put grens radioactive man mesh's skin on his male_heavy_fx mesh.it gives him the effect of radiating radiation but the problem is i cant find a fx that works.everything is purple ive tried.i was thinking green or yellow but not an over-powering effect.his little tunic thing is optional.looks good without it but better with it.

are you on a laptop if so it's fn+prtsc or cntrl+prtsrn
no regular old computer. *blows dust off 1970 keyboard*.
ok, this is a simple little change but really suits the character.using the m25 keyframe transfer,take the idle animation from the MAXX character and replace the idle in inks stronguy.if anyone tries it ,let me know what you think.like i said, its a tiny change.
I did a little kittbashing and took the chest straps, boots, belt and cuffs from the red minutman skin and placed them on the normal minute man skins to make a Blue Minute man. I like it alot. I also did other mix'n match of minute man skins. I can only show these of course, but you already knew that.
Spoiler
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm227/docdelorean88/Minute%20Men/Minutemen.jpg)
those look nice doc!
Thanks! Like i said basic kittbashing, but i really like the look of the all blue.
Also found a neat FX Mix. If you take the pumpkin bomb starting and core nifs and throw the end inf from the clown bomb in there, you get the Pumpkin Bomb from Spectacular Spider-man!
ive also been mixing up fx's. i made heat vision using the red eye beams but replaced the end nif with the red end nif from the red flaming fist fx.made solar beams the same way but used orange.
OK, this idea is as simple as swapping kf's but when i saw it i thought of two heavy weight boxers that needed them. gren's flashback kf's melee_idle animation looks like a boxer's movements.fists up, foot shuffle, with head moving side-to-side.i gave them to my copy of ren's wildcat and bobby 69's male_muscular_points mesh with murs's daredevil skin on it.to me it hollers boxer!if i had any skills i'd throw a billyclub on the daredevil's leg but alas...i cant.anyway, give it a try and let me know what you think. yo, adrian!
if you want some really cool looking doombots throw c6's old doc doom skin on gren's new Box mesh.look out ben grimm...its clobberin time!
Glad to see this thread moving again. It's always been enjoyable.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder what an Ultron skin would look like on some of Gren's newer meshes (Box or any other armor)?
thanks for the kind words cyber! bet ultrons skin would look cool. been mixn' some eye beam fx's from the ff2 fx pack at alex's. took the red and orange(for now) eye beams and replaced their end nifs with the same color end nifs from the flaming fist fx's. heat vision and solar beams. also took the taunt fx of liberty lads in game fx, copied it two more times and named them start and end and made a passive defense for daredevil called none other than radar_sense. also (on a roll) replaced the net_beam end nif's with the end nifs from the rad_bolts of the same color also. one more thing. anyone looking for some more fx's. inks drone meshes all come with custom fx's in the same mesh file. have fun! :)
ok, just messin' around here and had an idea. will take a little face plate change but gren's box mesh...put his ironman mk32 faceplate and standard skin on his box mesh and it would make a cool hulkbuster armor. would be super cool to add warmachines mini- guns/rocket launcher too. just a crazy idea. :)
OK, to give gren's Hela some dead warrior's get beardinlairs zombie mesh and take its skin and place on zulu's viking warrior_no horse skope here. theres another zombie out with another cool skin but cant think at the moment. the skeleton warriors are cool but this just gives another flavor. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/zuludeltaffskinz9/files/
some fx:
1. for speeding bullet use flying el diablo.
2. take the pistol.nif from the ffx and use it as the start with core and end being the thug's bullets. place the start nif on the right forearm. with the proper ranged animation it looks like he is pulling a pistol and shooting. sometimes the pistol fx stays past the animation.
gotta try that. i love fx mixn'! :thumbup:
here's a fx i did for Tom Turbine when he powers up. take the end nif. from man-o-wars ball lightning fx and copy it. rename one start and the other core. make a file named power_up and place them in it. in my ffeditor i made it attack type: special , left attack sub type blank. on start and core they are both pelvis. it looks cool in game. when he powers up he's surrounded by electricity.
hey that would work for flash!
also if you go to the templates tab and find atomiccage and replace the Example nif with this:
library\fx\ffx\tornado\core.nif
it looks good. it's almost right, i just can't figure out how to get it to animate properly.
does anyone know what ffx_tornado is used for? in the Example nif it says:
custom_characters\ffx_tiggot\character.nif
which leads me to think it is an animated elemental or something. something the weather wizard might summon, if i can figure it out.

is this the way it looks for you? really awesome, thank you!

There is a THUNDER Agents' villian called Whirligig that might use that effect also.
sitting here bored and just messin' around with crazy ideas. since ive developed the low level super power of removing things from meshes i took gren's guardian mesh and removed the man and left the aura. cool! then i got bobby 69's whirlwind, took its twister nif in the skin/standard file and changed it to aura.nif, copied the standard in the guardian mesh and replaced its aura with the new one. now it looks like what the predator looks like when he's semi-cloaked. could be cloaked assassin's now or something. dunno?! :wacko:
here's a couple ideas i had. took gren's mauler mesh, removed everything, and put a ionic wonderman skin on it. i like how the energy looks when he hovers/flies. http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww276/herodad1/P1060057.jpg
one more. i'm a stickler when it comes to heighth / proportions of characters in game. in the marvel handbook luke cage is 6' 8". again using brother gren's meshes i took his Thor_v2, stripped it down and added c6's Luke Cage skins from ren's meshes to make a bigger luke cage. example with his standing next to Daniel. http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww276/herodad1/P1060056.jpg
ok, was playin' around and came up with a good skope for one of flash's rogues...mirror master! took ewzzy's beeman skope, removed everything but his belt and hand buckle thing and put a mirror master skin on it. what i like is his defense moves where he activates his buckle or holds it out in front like he's using a mirror. the buckle is yellow also so it works when he fires a yellow cone fx. http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww276/herodad1/P1130057.jpg
that would be awesome. does it work for :ff: ?
have no idea. you can find him here. http://www.freedomforce.ewzzy.com/
give all the bad guys extra dimensional. then make spiderman's ranged attack power be exile, with the fx set to a web tangle, give it an very high stun and swap out stun for cyrstal prison, with the crystal prison fx being a large web ball.
