Marvel Adventures Vol. 2 - New Release!!

[spydermann93]

Benton, I'm guessing that in my short time back, you're the only modder left?

OrWolvie's making a mod, too!

I do think the Squadron make an interesting challenge.  They really are like the JLA, so they are a real tough fight for the Avengers.  I actually modeled them on my DCUG Justice League.

I was actually going to ask you that, but I figured that you did since the Squadron were meant to be JLA analogues. I still can't wait to see them in action!

Heck, I'm just excited for everything in this update! So much new content to browse through and so many new missions to play and test out!

[BentonGrey]

Thanks CB!  I'm glad to hear that you are so excited about these guys.  I have to say, that's one of the bits I enjoy most as well.  I loved those classic Avengers stories too!

Yep Shazam, as Spyder said, Or has taken up the modding adventure as well.  Otherwise, yes, I'd be the last, I believe.

[OrWolvie1]

Benton, I'm guessing that in my short time back, you're the only modder left?

OrWolvie's making a mod, too!

More like I'm attempting to made a mod. Still giving me fits though, but I'm nothing if not persistent 

[spydermann93]

Attempting or doing; you're a modder either way

[OrWolvie1]

Attempting or doing; you're a modder either way

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Spyder...i think

[Shazam]

I guess that means I'm a modder too. Shame mine has been lost forever 

[BentonGrey]

Sad Shazam!  That just means you should recreate it! 

Okay guys, Marvel Adventures needs you!



I am making great progress on testing and polishing up the remaining missions, and I've got almost all of the new characters ready to add.  What I don't have is a year to test the balance on everything.  I've been doing minimum balance testing so I can focus on getting the darn thing done.  What I need is a few brave souls, preferably relatively big Marvel fans, willing to play a bunch of rumble room sessions, throwing different combinations of characters against one another, and letting me know what needs tweaking.  This isn't even testing missions yet, as they aren't all done, but I figure I can have some testing going on while I finish up and save some time that way.  Is anyone willing to help me out by socking Hitler (or the Red Skull) in the jaw a few dozen times?  I should have a build ready for testing by the end of this or next week.

[spydermann93]

Spyder is ready, willing, and reporting for duty, Sir!

[Cyber Burn]

It's been so long since I've actually played, I would LOVE to throw down in the Rumble Room! Count me in!

[BentonGrey]

You guys are awesome!  Alright, I'm going to go full speed ahead on getting the last characters built in and working properly.

i cant wait to play this one and i made a skin for sick alice hobgoblin i dont kow if im aloud to release it but any way cant wait for this game spider man an his villains r my favorite in marvel

[earl of bronze]

Ok I installed this a few weeks back and played and loved the Avengers& Thor campaigns. However problems with the FF.

First Mission game crashed during  Wizard's dialog so I deleted my folder and reinstalled with the one form the first post. Still didn't work so used Mission_Win()
Second mission was fine.
Third mission screen was totally black and stayed that way. So was the 4th mission.

[BentonGrey]

Howdy EoB, I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the Avengers and Thor campaigns!  I'm sorry that you're having trouble with FF.  I THINK I fixed those problems in the new version which is out to testers.  Spyder, can you confirm?

I'm working on the last touches for a release of version 2.0 with the expansion.  I've just got to write a zillion string entries, so watch this space.

[earl of bronze]

Ok great, I will try the Invaders campaign.

[BentonGrey]

The bad news is, I've grown to HATE writing string entries, so I'm going super slow. 

[Jimaras8]

Benton i'm afraid the FF campaign hasn't been fixed in the newest version. I am able to play the first 2 missions but the third one is completely black.

[BentonGrey]

Bah.  Well, back to the drawing board.  It's black, hmm?  I'll see if I can't figure this out.

[BentonGrey]

Okay, I THINK I've sorted out FF mission 3.  The terrain file wasn't in the mod folder, so if you didn't have it in your Data folder, the mission couldn't load properly.  The mission itself runs fine for me, so I'm hoping that's the only issue.  I'll upload a new version for testing shortly.

[Jimaras8]

This could probably be it. Also benton i have figured out the Sunfire issue. he just needs keyframes . Put him a generic set of vx_male kfs and he  works fine.

[spydermann93]

I thought that the sun fire issue was fixed a while back ago? Or maybe I'm just remembering things incorrectly, lol

I'll check out the FF mission when I get home, tonight.

[Cyber Burn]

Yeah, I though the Sunfire Issue had already been addressed as well. Did it come back?

[BentonGrey]

Yeah, Sunfire is fixed in the latest build.  I'm guessing that was an old version.

[spydermann93]

Good, then I'm partially crazy

[BentonGrey]

 

I just want to add a quick 'thank you' to my testers who are still being awesome.  You guys have been a tremendous help!

[crosspotts1.0]

i wish i could of been ur tester but i cant wait for this mod

[earl of bronze]

Finished the Invaders campaign, enjoyed it thoroughly.

[BentonGrey]

Glad to hear it, EoB!  Interestingly enough, that's the story that began it all.  Originally, that's all there was going to be, but as my projects tend to do, this one grew exponentially. 

[earl of bronze]

In that case I am surprised you didn't have Spitfire there as well. On to GoTG next.

[BentonGrey]

Well, I had actually never read the Invader's stories until AFTER I wrote that campaign, other than cameos in books like Avengers.  I actually meant to add Spitfire in afterwards but never got around to it. 

Keep in mind, GoTG is just a mini-campaign.  If there were world enough and time, I'd do a full-length one for them.  I'm hoping that some folks will build on my work and tell some stories with the characters I didn't get to give much attention.

[BentonGrey]

Urg!  I've spent the entire day writing string entries.  I thought, 'I've got to be almost done,' only to realize I still have all of the Spidey villains to do, plus who know what!  If I never see another string entry again, it will be too soon.
