Thor Ragnarok Roadworn Costume TC Backport (with variant)

Description

Behold! Thor, Odinson!

This is a replacement for Thor's Modern VU costume (ie, his default) to convert it to the Ragnarok Roadworn costume from the Test Center build, with Mjolnir's model replaced with a more accurate version of MCU Mjolnir courtesy of Marvel Future Fight. I'm not a big fan of any of Thor's existing costumes, so I ported this for my own use and figured I'd share for anybody else that might want it.

With my rather limited modding skills, replacing the Modern/default costume was the only option here. Thor's costumes in general don't play nice with the Mystique Metamorphosis function in Model Editor (it seems like it's an issue with the hammer, but I'm not 100% sure, I just know it breaks for most of his costumes save for the few that don't contain the hammer model), and the Ragnarok model was built with the default VU's skeleton in mind. That made the port fairly simple model-wise, thus making it possible with my limited modding skills, but makes it more difficult to put it over a different costume. This means it also has the effect that any icon changes will change more than just the usual icons. Namely, you'll see the Ragnarok icons for Thor's unlock splash and his synergy icon. Anything that uses the modern VU icon will change, basically. If it uses the old icon, or a bespoke icon (I think his unlock token would be an example here), it'll stay the old icon.

I've also included the version with the Skull of Surtur on his back since that was also based on the same skeleton. Expect some weirdness with his cape clipping through it in some animations. These costumes were unfinished, so while they may have been planned to have animations to account for the skull on his back, they didn't have them on the TC (and if they did, I don't think they'd be possible to import currently). I tested around a bit and I only saw one where it'd clip, so it may not be super noticeable.

Installation instructions

Install via Mod Manager. If you don't want to use Mod Manager, you can extract the UPK and replace the one in your existing install folder, but you won't get the icon changes or the string replacement for the costume name. If you do this, make sure to back up the original UPK in case you ever want to uninstall.
