Marvel Adventures 2.6 update RELEASED+ More Meshes

[Jimaras8]

Hey Everyone!!! I hope i find you all well and relaxed. I know i ve been MIA for some time but i have some persistent health issues that don't allow me to participate as much as i would want to. I have however worked slowly towards polishing and tweaking the latest version of MA just not on the pace that i would have wanted. So, today i come bearing GIFTS   !!!!

Here are both the latest version of MA 2.5 with a new character named Force (an iron man villain turned hero), new powers for mr sinister, Clea, Spider-man, Jubilee, Beast and some others, lots of new custom-made FX and tweaks for powers and FX. In addition as i see the old sites slowly coming down i wanted to upload my entire library of meshes for perservation. If sickalice or anyone else want to move the link to a megathread, be my guest. I have some meshes from the old yahoo groups which i think will be useful. Thank you all for your patience and please download the latest version. Its a work of love from both Benton and me and the more the file is shared, the more it will be preserved for new and old friends

Edit: Hey guys, i have uploaded a hotfix in my newest version as i have noticed that some FX paths aren't right so some custom fx i made might not appear for you.Also i figured out a way around to give Jean Grey a lot of her FF1 fx that couldnt be converted for FF2. I recommend downloading the latest version, it's in the exact same link as before. You can merge the dats or do a clean re-install.

Edit 2: Somehow Mediafire flagged the file as restricted due to "copyright claim". LOL, i guess i'm trying to profit off Marvel based on a free MOD for a 20 year old game      . If you have trouble downloading, let me know. I changed the mod link to direct to the folder instead of the file itself. Let me know if it works guys

Hey guys, i collected a bunch of fixes and additions and i uploaded the latest version of Benton's Marvel Adventures mod in my mediafire account. Unfortunately the latest version got flagged by Mediafire for reasons that are uknown so i took the liberty and put together a newer more updated version. Check the link and let me know if you can download it.

The 2.6 version includes a new hero which you might know if you saw the new Thunderbolts movie, Sentry plus new powers for characters like Venom, Polaris, Klaw, Rogue and various tweaks in FX for characters.

It's not letting me download it. I'll try again when I've got more time.

[WyldFyre]

Worked for me. 

[deanjo2000]

Working for me too now, I think the problem was my end.

[Jimaras8]

So,I spent a lot of time lately scouring my e-mails for any meshes and skopes i have missed since i'm seeing most of the old sites going down and so much content getting lost. I managed to find some more meshes that i don't think are in the Mediafire, at least most of them. A lot of them are modified and tweaked by great people here, some of them no longer with us so i think i owed it to them to save their work  .

I also included the latest version of MA 2.6 with the files. It has several minor tweaks and adjustments along with a couple new powers and a new logo. You can find a list of the powers, characters et al in the updated "Unofficial Expansion readme". If you don't want a clean re install you need to merge the dats and copy the fx/generic and textures folders along with the characters folders from the mod in your Art/Library directory since there are new custom fx and changes in the nifs. As always try it and let me know.

Edit: I managed to dig up some rare ones including a hex edit for songbird that the great late Daglob made at my request back in the day. There is also a murs Black Panther mesh and a Ka-zar and Fing Fang Foom, an updated AA Phyla Vell mesh that i think is lost plus Murs Winter Soldier. Enjoy and download FAST!

Happy New Year everyone  . I wish you the best to you and your loved ones and i come with a gift. I managed to find another 30 old meshes in my derelict e-mails from lovely folks like spyder, CyberBurn, Daglob etc and i think it's best to share it in order for them to not be locked in some deleted e-mail address. I also included the latest version of MA 2.6 which has more tweaks and powers (check the Expansion read me file) added that i had planned. I know, i know i have uploaded too many versions of the mod lately     but i don't know if my health issues will allow me to work uninterrupted on the mod in the future so i do it now that i have some time.

Howdy folks, thanks to Jim's great work, I've updated the official version on ModDB:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/marvel-adventures/downloads/marvel-adventures-26

I want to take a moment and thank Jim for all the hard work he's done expanding and improving this project.  He's put a lot of effort into adding new characters, testing, balancing, and finding and fixing my mistakes!  Thanks, Jim!

[Jimaras8]

Much appreciated Benton. So for everyone who has been downloading the updates from MF this isn't a radically different versions. Benton reversed a couple of the meshes to the ones he initially used for story purposes but the rest of the updates are there. Plus i added another god to balance Hela's wickedness in Apollo and i'm happy with he turned out. There are also visual and balancing tweaks and i couple of new powers. But mostly Benton wanted to give an official launch in Moddb which is more accessible to non FF members and they might not be aware of all the updated versions.

[Jimaras8]

Hey guys, today i have a gift for you. Benton has been realyl busy with his semester so i decided to upload an early release for Marvel Adventures 2.7 for folks here before Benton packs it for Moddb. Note that Benton will upload a version with some skopes being changed to the original version of the mod like Iron man and wolverine and he will also add a version without exe but other than that this will be the same update.

This update is kinda beefy as it streamlines a couple of things i wanted to address like:
1. EZFX 6.1 is fully integrated in the mod. In previous versions it needed to be installed separately otherwise certain fx wouldn't appear in the mod as their paths were there but not the nifs and textures.

2. I fixed the majority of projectile and area powers that had delay issues. This came from  FF1 nifs that coulnd't work properly in FF2. Now, the majority of the nifs have been fixed so heroes like Storm, Polaris, Cobra, jean grey, Kang, Klaw etc can use all their abilities without delay effects.

3. Even more new fx and fx fixes like new nodes and fixes to where fx should be coming from.

4. 4 new characters. Crossfire, Man Mountain Marko, Ammo and Shroud. Special thanks to deanjo2000, cranlox and Randomdays who came up with skopes in a very short notice and without me even asking them   
 
5. Almost 40 new powers to existing characters.

As always read the readme file to see what the newest additions are. The newest characters/abilities are always the last ones to be added at the bottom of the lists compared to the previous release.

very nice work, Jim! You're updates to and continuous support of MA have been really impressive. Really good stuff!

[Jimaras8]

Hey guys i also i have a question regarding attribute spelling. in the ffxmulti.py which is the correct spelling for attributes like grim resolve and level headed, "levelheaded" or "level headed"? Or it doesnt make a difference?

[spydermann93]

go with how the attribute it spelled in FFEdit's attributes tab. Though I thought the ffx3.py had them in there, too. Can't remember. The manual should clear it up, too. I always go with the FFEdit names, though.

[Jimaras8]

The reason i'm asking is cause some attributes in ffxmulti.py are written differently. "grimresolve" in the py and "grim resolve" in FFEdit.

And i'm worried that some attributes in the combos won't work. Is there a way to find out in-game? Some examples are grim resolve, level headed, shake it off

[Jimaras8]

Ok so this is important guys. I changed grim resolve to exactly how it's written in FFEdit and i got an error in-game about not recognizing the attribute in the "goldensentrysereum" combo.

So some attributes aren't wrriten in combos the same as they are written in FFEdit and it will cause an error. I think everyone should be aware of that.

[Jimaras8]

Hey guys, in case you didn't know Benton uploaded the official 2.7 version on Moddb

https://www.moddb.com/mods/marvel-adventures/downloads/install-marvel-adventures-27

Its almost identical to the version i put the link for in Mediafire but it has Kate Bishop in it and a couple new powers, fxs and fixes. Nothing major. If you don't feel like reinstalling you are good to go, i just wanted to put KateBishop in the mod since cranlox and RD came up with a skope very quickly and i'm happy with how she turned out. Cheers
