Freedom Force X Attributes

[Baron_Mondo]

Hey y'all,

Just recently re-purchased FFvTR via Steam for nostalgia's sake, downloaded Freedom Force X, etc.

I'm a total novice, never really done modding or anything of the sort, so bear with my ignorance here. I want to take an attribute installed by Freedom Force X and modify it slightly (basically I want "Private Army" to spawn dinosaurs instead of cops/whatever it typically spawns). Does anyone have any tips on how this could be accomplished? It seems like it'd be fairly simple, and any input would be appreciated!

Also, been having trouble with some of the attributes on the mod. Some (not all of them) that involve effecting the environment (Puppet Master, etc) don't seem to play in the Rumble Room. The hero with the attribute just has a new option when you click anywhere that reads "Look Commands." Selecting this option just changes the view (i.e. suddenly zooms in very close) and doesn't actually do anything related to the attributes in question.

I know this is a lot, but if anyone could help me answer either of these questions I'd be super grateful. Thanks!

Howdy Baron! Let me first recommend that you check out the Freedom Force community at www.freedomreborn.net.

There's a humongous store of knowledge and awesome stuff for the game to be found there, as well as one of the greatest communities on the Internet. You'll likely get much better answers to your questions there.

Now, the Private Army attribute can be tweaked by editing the attribute entry itself in the Missions/Scripts directory. I forget which file it's in, but it's one of the FFX ones, I should think. You can also just customize it for any character using it by running the FFX Control Center, selecting the character, and selecting the options you want.

Incidentally, that is probably the answer to the second question you have. A lot of attributes won't work properly unless you run the Control Center which "brands" the different characters so that the game can recognize them for custom stuff.

I hope that helps!
