How to Intro Swap / Moveset Swap / Fatality Swap + ModLoader

[thethiny]

Anyone know if it's possible to swap movesets outside of a "mirror match" setup? I.e., two characters with completely different movesets than whoever's onscreen/loaded in?

Modify the ini file

What do I have to do to pull that off?
Let's say I want to have Baraka with Shao Khan's moves outside of a mirror match. I assume I have to change something inside of MK11Engine.ini, but there're a billion things inside, and I don't know what to change exactly.

MK11Game.ini
search for [CHAR_Sindel.mAsset
that's all the information you need to know. Just copy it and rename it to whatever you want. For non DLC characters you can search for [CHAR.Template.mAsset
and you can see the info there as well.

Code: Select all

mPaletteKey Useless
mCharScript scripts + moveset
mCharScriptAssetPackage Useless
mCharCommonScriptAssetPackage should be same as mCharScript
mCharacterAssetPath Fatal Blow + Colors
mCAPDefinitionsPath Model
mAssetRootPath Fatality/Intro/Outro stuff, doesn't really matter at all
mDefaultPreset Useless, except for Krypt, it has to be PL1
mCAPPackages Gear, should have all
mCharPackages Assets, should have all

Hey! First of all, THANKS for all these tutorials and mods!

I'm trying to figure out how to swap a moveset editing the MK11Game.ini but it eludes me.

There are those DLC characters as [CHAR_xxxx.mAsset etc] but let's say I want to swap Jax -> Geras.

Do I create new lines there from the old ones?

Since using this I'm getting these weird lighting glitches, does anyone know if there's a fix?

Yes but remove the Char name (copy the CHAR.Template)

Hey Thethiny, thank you so much for the replies.

I feel pretty dumb cause I can't quite interpret what you mean, and nothing works for me.
Could you please provide us an example of a moveset swap between two NON-dlc characters?

We would appreciate it a lot, and it'd be way easier for us to just copy and paste, then changing what we need.

Thank you very much

[CHAR_Jax.mAssetDefinition]
mPaletteKey=ROB
mCharScript=CHAR_Robocop.mko
mCharScriptAssetPackage=CHAR_ROB_ScriptAssets
mCharCommonScriptAssetPackage=CHAR_ROB_ScriptAssets
mCharacterAssetPath=DLC.Robocop.Characters.CHAR.ROB.ROB_ASSET.ROB_CharacterAsset
mCAPDefinitionsPath=Disk.Characters.CHAR.JAX.JAX_ASSET.JAX_CapAsset
mAssetRootPath=DLC.Robocop.Characters.CHAR
mDefaultPreset=ROB_DefaultPreset
mCAPPackages=("GearAssets_ROB_ScriptAssets", "GearAssets_JAX_ScriptAssets")
mCharPackages=("CHAR_ROB_ScriptAssets", "CHAR_JAX_ScriptAssets")

Here you can see how to swap Robocop with Jax. Jax is non DLC why Robocop is DLC. Look at the difference in the names.

Here's the explanation for each row:
mPaletteKey Useless
mCharScript scripts + moveset
mCharScriptAssetPackage Useless
mCharCommonScriptAssetPackage should be same as mCharScript
mCharacterAssetPath Fatal Blow + Colors
mCAPDefinitionsPath Model
mAssetRootPath Fatality/Intro/Outro stuff, doesn't really matter at all
mDefaultPreset Useless, except for Krypt, it has to be PL1
mCAPPackages Gear, should have all
mCharPackages Assets, should have all

mDefaultPreset=ROB_DefaultPreset

Thank you so much dude, it usually works fine!
There're multiple swaps that won't work, tough. Is there a reason for that? Or a fix? Or that's just the way it is?

[thethiny]

[CHAR_Jax.mAssetDefinition]
mCAPPackages=("GearAssets_ROB_ScriptAssets", "GearAssets_JAX_ScriptAssets")
mCharPackages=("CHAR_ROB_ScriptAssets", "CHAR_JAX_ScriptAssets")

IT crashes because you have 4 here, you only need 3. If the model is Sektor with Sektor colors then mCAPPAckages should only be Sektor.
If model is Sektor with Subzero colors then mCAPPackages should be boith Sektor and Subzero.

For mCharPackages, it should be the character you're performing their fatalities right now or intros and outros

Updated version of the ModLoader in annex. I only use this for intro swaps and it is working properly.

[Samir_Dark]

hi thethiny is there an intro swap update on all characters?
my voice still does not work for characters

Yes _ix_ keeps an updated version every time the game updates.

Updated intro swap CT in this post.

I don't use the Moveset Swap, so I usually don't update it. In the previous game update the moveswap was crashing my game, so I did not upload it.

I'll update it later on tonight and if it doesn't crash the game, I'll upload it.

Attachment removed. See below

Here's the updated version with working Intro swaps and Mod loader.

Enjoy.

This saves a lot of time/work ix, thanks for making this!

As an outside user that knows next to nothing on the inner workings of how the Mod Loader (or any MK11 mods) work, I think it would be great if you provided some instructions on how the mod loader works assuming that it is updated. I was trying to follow the video tutorial, but only realized after about 5 minutes that I should have just skipped to 29:33. That all said, thanks for all the work you put in making the initial table and tutorial thethiny!

Thought it might be helpful posting this quick guide for other modding noobs trying to swap movesets:

1. Create a folder in the MK11 directory named "MKMods", and a second one in that folder titled "MKScript". You should have a path that looks like: \Steam\steamapps\common\Mortal Kombat 11\MKMods\MKScript
2. Go to the real MKScript file in the MK11 directory (\Steam\steamapps\common\Mortal Kombat 11\MKScript)
3. Scroll down to the .mko files beginning with "CHAR_", and copy the .mko file(s) of the character(s) whose moveset you want to give to another
4. Go back to the MKScript folder you made, and copy the .mko file(s) there
5. You now need to rename the file(s) so that it matches the character(s) you want, just make sure that the character's name is the same as what's in the original MKScript folder. This will now make MK11 think this moveset belongs to that character when using the Mod Loader.

(i.e. Swapping a .mko to match Baraka would be simply renaming it to "CHAR_Baraka.mko", but for Frost it would be "CHAR_CyberFrost.mko")

6. Launch cracked version of MK11.exe, as updated in this thread
7. Launch Cheat Engine, load the updated Mod Loader CT table (attachment is included with the post I'm replying to), then attach it to Mortal Kombat 11
8. Activate the very first option titled "Mod Loader - Last update: 03/10/2020", and there should be two boxes beneath already checkmarked

After that, MK11 should now provide those characters with the moveset files you copied over. I dont want to spread any false information, so if anything I typed is inaccurate I can change it.
