Legion Mod

[John Jr.]

Thanks, detourne_me!
That's exactly what I needed.
I'll try answer some points:

Spoiler

1- I wanted to use meshes and skins of a lot of different creators, as some kind of "homage" to them. I wasn't able to contact Firestorm (no answer to my messages, probably he changed his e-mail). You can see the complete list in the "Read Me".
I used VX Cosmic Boy and only changed Mon-El to a generic mesh because I needed a lighter download and the C6 skin for Male Cape Nobelt is just  perfect. I don't know Toxic J's creations, may you give me a link?
Thanks for the conversion tip, I'll fix it for part 2.

2- I designed the mod to be used with EZFX, like I said in the "Read Me". Once again didn't included the FX to make the donwload lighter, but I'll change it if it's a problem. Again, thanks for the tip.
I'm very glad you approved the Hero Files. I tried my best to make them right and made a lot of research.

3- I'm glad you liked the cutscenes and in-jokes, and yes, Nemesis was talking about Projectra (and if you read Legion in the 80's you know he will have serious problems with her...).
English is not my first language (I'm Brazilian), Benton edited the text for me (thanks again, pal!), but he couldn't edit Mission 4, so I apologize for my rusty English.

4- I made Bizarro more powerful than Superboy, but yes, he ended a lighter threat that I wanted. Amazo worked better as the final boss.
I tried use an escort mission for Mission 3, but couldn't script it right, so I changed it. I'm still learning to use EZScript.
I'm glad you liked the Missions. Hope you liked my "surprise" villain too.

5- Thanks! I believe the Mod is okay for a newcomer, but I'm still have a lot to learn.
Part 2 will have Supergirl, Dawnstar and part of the Fatal Five. Still thinking about the rest of the team and Tyroc is a good suggestion, thanks!

I haven't completed the mod yet but it's a lot of fun.

I really, really love your choice of character powers.. you made Phantom Girl good in the game!

I look forward to your next mod!

[Blitzgott]

Great mod! I'm stuck in the third mission, though... Can't stop those Supermen from destroying the things I have to protect. I'll get them next time!

In my first attempt at the second mission, I got utterly destroyed by Nemesis Kid. He KO'd Electric Lad seconds after the cutscene, and I couldn't damage him much anymore with the other heroes, because of his Adaptive attribute. He destroyed me so badly that, in my next try, I put Mon-El on the team. He wasn't needed, though, because this time Electric Lad didn't flop, and he and Firestorm managed to put him out quickly. Fun stuff. =P

I really liked your hero files. You balanced the powers of the characters in such a way that the mod offers a fun and moderate challenge at the intermediate difficulties. Some of Previsionary's mods, even though they're great, sometimes had me lowering the difficulty below normal to get through some of the harder parts (the second-to-last mission of the Crisis mod almost killed me). Your mod didn't have that so far, which I think is good.

Great job.

[John Jr.]

Thanks guys! I'm glad (and relieved!) you liked the hero files and the game balance.
laughing paradox,
I like Tinya a lot, so I tried my best to make her a good character, but faithful to comics. I'm glad you approved.
Blitzgott,
I'm glad you liked. In the comics Nemesis Kid can overpower any single character in a fight, but his powers don't work against multiple opponents, so I used Adaptive. If you get 2 or 3 different attack powers, he's less effective.
Hope you like Mission 4 too.

JJ, I'm going to try to give this mod a try this week. I figured I'd let you know. Considering how well your PCTales mission came out, I think I'll be satisfied.

Bah! I play hard, so I mod hard. Get with it, yo.

I'm glad you liked my "Red Moon" mission, Prev. Hope you like the Legion Mod too.

Since you are a very experienced player, you probably need bigger threats to feel challenged. I tried use as few "required heroes" as possible exactly to let the player set his own difficult level. I don't think you will recruit Superboy and Mon-El to your teams

Excellent mod. I have enjoyed very much playing this module. Sincerely, it is the best module that I have played for Freedom Force. The only fault that I have found is that it was short.

Thanks, Doc!
I'm glad you liked the Mod, I was lucky enough to get permission to use creations of some of our best artists, and it helped me so much.
I designed the Legion Mod as a two parter. I'm scripting Mission 5 now. I'll post screen shots when I'm done.

Excellant mod JJ. Looking forward to more missions in the future. Only dissapointment was no Bouncing Boy.

I'm glad you liked it.
I had to limit the cast or the download would be too heavy. So, I decided use only the active Legionnaires (and Supergirl). Unfortunately no Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel in this Mod (but I doubt this will be my last Legion Mod  )

Okay...I finished playing the mod, John Jr....Very fun!  I've never really been a fan of the Legion, but this mod was very enjoyable to play.

I'm glad you liked it, Dana. I was hoping the Mod was interesting even to players who aren't Legion fans. I'm relieved it worked.
And here is a Mission 5 pic, with Tyroc (by Vertex and C6) fighting evil SPs (by Tommyboy) in the Kaliklak forest map, by our cmdrkoenig67 himself.

I finally got around to playing your mod, JJ, and I think it came out well. Just something to keep in mind for the next episode, leaving the FF missions in the campdef.dat isn't necessary and it'd be best to just remove them so the game doesn't think the mod has more missions than it actually does. Also, I don't think you added an executive (.exe) to the mod folder, so you might want to consider adding one for those that don't know the how-to of making mod executable on their own.

All in all, very good effort for your first mod. I'm sure part 2 will be just as enjoyable. .

[John Jr.]

Thanks for the kind words and for the tips, Prev.
I'll try fix it for part 2.

[laughing paradox]

I really like the preview pictures.. I can't wait to play the sequel(s)!

[KombatKid]

 Hey I'm new here, do you know where I can download this mod? It looks really cool, and hopefully its compatible with Windows Vista?

Thanks! Sadly, though, it says that I need ot either save the file, or find a program online that can open it.  Any suggestions?

PS I'm a complete novice to this stuff, I cant even put a mesh/skin on to Freedom Force lol 

[John Jr.]

Try this:
1-Download the file (the Mod)
2- Extract it (with Wizip, Winrar or a similar program) in a folder called "Legion".
3- Place the folder inside your main  directory.
4- Make a shortcut to the mod or copy the  shortcut.
5- Add a -(name of mod) and a -log to the end of the shortcut's target. For instance: , "C:\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\ffvt3r.exe" -game Legion -log

Hope it helps!

Thanks, LP!
I having a blast making this Mod. When I see creations of guys like you, Tommyboy, Vertex, C6, JkCarrier, Housequake and others playing my Missions I feel like I had a Legion comic with my stories and art by Dave Cockrum, Curt Swan, Steve Lightle and others.
Sequels? Like one with the 80's Legion? Never heard about it

Ok, so I'm trying to extract the folder called Legion (which is the mod) with Winrar into C:\Program Files\Irrational Games\Freedom Force vs The Third Reich but when I try to it gives me this long list od errors!

[Previsionary]

What "kind" of errors? If your download is correct and you're using Winrar, it should go pretty smoothly. However, for future reference, the "list of tutorials" thread and the "FR wiki" can answer a lot of questions you may have.

[KombatKid]

 It says the system cannot find the path specified. The errors are like everything. Custom_Characters, FX, and all this other stuff. Anyways, thanks for your help and I'll take a look at the mod installation tutorials!

Keep in mind that when you're extracting stuff, the folder you're moving the files to needs to actually exist. Is Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich installed in that location for you?

I'm not sure. It shows up immediately in the E: drive but for the C: I have to click program files/irrational games/freedom force vs the third reich. Soooooo could that be it?

EDIT: I try to extract it to E:\Proram Files\ irrational games\freedom force vs the third reich\  and it gives me the same list of errors! 

[Previsionary]

I feel like I'm taking over JJ's thread. Sorry, JJ. .

Kombatkid, without knowing the exact error (post a screenshot or something), the only things I can suggest to you is to redownload the mod or to try extracting the files to your "Desktop" and then moving it into your Freedom Force folder.

It gave me a total of 5118 errors! I dont know how to put up the list of errors (man I hate being stupid).  Idk, me vs technology=technology wins
