Description

A rather simple patch mainly focused on restoring all the intended game content that, caused by dev oversights, or, exclusivity contracts of that time, is normally unavailable. It also fixes some small aesthetic and harmless (but annoying) bugs.

To install, apply the xdelta patch to an unmodified ISO (USA version) of the game.

Changelog: · Ported all fixes from EUR version (characters, campaing and simulator) · Fully restored Colossus and Moon Knight (items, loading screens, mannequins...) · Restored 5 simulator missions (music fixes from EUR version) · Restored WW2 Captain America loading screen · Fixed Ultimate Iron Man loading screen not properly unlocking · Fixed Enchantress and Galactus loading screens not properly unlocking · Fixed Ms. Marvel resistances · Fixed Daredevil batons (playable and NPC) · Fixed Iceman Spiky and Bobby Drake effects · Fixed Moon Knight crescent effect · Fixed Uatu effects not deactivating when having conversation · Fixed Galactus lifebar not indicating invulnerability · Fixed Invisible Woman conversation with Black Widow in Attilan · Fixed Mr. Fantastic conversation with Triton in Attilan · Fixed Blade interaction with Gorgon bug after having the special conversation · Fixed Dr. Strange conversation with Doom at the beginning of Doom Castle · Fixed Thor statue lightning cutscene playing twice bug · Fixed quest order in questlog (by obj number) · Overhauled the Eye of the Shadow Queen quest (now it works the same as Pym's helmet quest) · Fixed Mephisto, Doomstark and Niffleheim missions not being marked as completed · Restored Skrull Empress quest on questlog (Skrull mission can be marked as completed now) · Fixed Colossus misnamed audio files · Fixed Black Panther simulator mission misnamed audio files

Known issues: Moon Knight causes a crash when he is added to the team, then exit and re-enter the team management screen, and finally try to swap him out/remove him or swap any other team member. Based on the tests performed, I conclude that the issue affects all of his three character models (4101.igb, 4102.igb, 4103.igb). At the moment, I don’t know how to fix it.

The crash can be reproduced in the emulator by enabling the “Pause on TLB Miss” option in the advanced settings menu.

I found the cause... It’s the character models, all three of them.

I think I found the cause… It’s the staff model. I’ll try replacing it with the PSP one, which I believe is compatible.

I tested it on PCSX2 and it works perfectly... I’ve tried exiting and re-entering several times, moving MK around, etc... It’s definitely some kind of memory error...

[QUOTE="lKakinho, post: 6214, member: 4349"] Is there any way to fix the Moon Knight problem? Every time you have him on your team and try to make a trade with him, the game crashes or freezes. Sometimes you can even make two trades, but it always happens... [/QUOTE] Hello… I tested it on my PS2, and indeed the game crashes. I went to MarvelMods, and besides seeing your post there as well, I found the original post of the mod that enables Moon Knight and Colossus, which dates back to 2008. The error was already happening back then, so we can rule out it being an issue with my mod, but there’s something curious… In that first mod, Moon Knight didn’t have a selection mannequin assigned, which was already the case in the unmodified game, so we can also rule out it being a problem with the mannequin model. From what you’re telling me, on PS3 it doesn’t always happen, or at least the game allows more slot swaps with Moon Knight, which I think leaves us with two possible causes. Either it’s a memory issue, or it’s a problem with the slot that Moon Knight occupies on the character selection screen. It seems more like the former than the latter… but it’s still strange…

Esse é o mod que eu sempre quis, ter o elenco original completo...parabéns mas tenho um problema em relação ao Cavaleiro da Lua... toda vez que coloco ele no time e vou trocar de personagem, no caso de tirá-lo, o jogo trava, não podendo fazer a troca mais de uma vez...

Nice! The archive is corrupted though.
