« on: 10. July 2023, 03:11:16 »Nah, they're all good (with this mod's changes).
EDIT: I missed the post with the SCP recolors. I definitely prefer the current mod version. SwiftBoost is the teal one to my brain, since it's the one you find first (and in greater quantities). Maybe you're thinking it should be blue to match the speed hypos, but then again the red BrawnBoost doesn't match the purple strength hypo either!
Why not just leave the current mod available even if SCP does change it? Maybe will need an update to keep the world colors consistent, I suppose.

« on: 09. July 2023, 23:33:31 »Should ask @RoSoDude to chime in since he has actual colorblindness rather than just wanting implants to be distinct from one another. I hope the new colors aren't a problem.

« on: 09. July 2023, 22:11:58 »how odd - to me, "the blue one" was always SwiftBoost, or at least that is how it was interpreted by my brain. it also somehow made me believe ExperTech (inventory icon) was (a bit) teal, and that EndurBoost had some orange tint going on. all not real, but made real now.
so right now, the SCPb5 implant color changes are;
-ExperTech inventory icon is teal, matches the vanilla world object now
-SwiftBoost world object blue now, matches the vanilla inventory icon
-EndurBoost orange now (not lemon-lime)
-PsiBoost world object made more purple to match the vanilla inventory icon
not going to be changed, but was indeed curious whether this would feel wrong to someone (and if so, why - I kind of have a reasoning behind this).

« on: 09. July 2023, 20:45:14 »so, this undoubtedly is a good idea, however, when I tried to play with this mod, it actually made the issue worse, as it changes the colors in a way my brain deems incorrect.
SCPb5 will be using different colors, and I'm thinking once it's finally out, this mod will probably be retired, as having two mods doing the same thing in an incompatible way probably isn't for the best. ideas on the current setup? attached.

« on: 08. February 2021, 21:58:41 »tiphares4That would be because I'm dumb and apparently renamed the mod archive and uploaded without actually testing it in BMM. The name was too many characters for the modfolder, as per the error message.
I've reuploaded with shorter names; should work now.
EDIT: or maybe the longer name worked in an older version of BMM? I updated between the original upload and now IIRC, so maybe it's not entirely my fault. My memory for this stuff is poor.
EDIT2: I'd recommend against using Stackable Snacks with SS2-RSD, as the latter's expansion to the Pack Rat O/S upgrade conflicts with the former (that is to say, the effect of Stackable Snacks is already integrated into SS2-RSD and balanced around Pack Rat). Also, you should generally make sure to load gamesys mods first, then asset replacement mods (models/textures/sound), then gameplay DML mods like mine on top.

All credit goes to Beauapropos, I just copied his DML and retextured his ExperTech implant to get RunFast working.

« on: 24. September 2020, 03:25:02 »These are honestly some of my new favorite mods for this game, as small as they are. Anything that makes the inventory more colorful to look at is pretty great and needless to say it really helps identifying what an implant does visually instead of having to check if you're looking at a Brawnboost or an Endurboost. Same thing with the Rad Hypos that RoSodude made.
I know it's not really a thing in vanilla ss2, but the RunFast implant shares it's icon/model with the ExperTech and AgilityBoost implants when you spawn it in. It might be worth making a different texture for it as well considering some FM's, namely Christine's uses it. I might do it myself if I can get around to it.

« on: 30. July 2020, 16:40:49 »This is awesome! I suggested this on the scp beta suggestions document, good to see someone has finally done it!
Would it be possible to get a unique wormblend too? It looks the same as one of the other worm implants.
Obviously it's not used in game, so I understand if you don't consider if worth spending time on. I think someone said the word blend was fixed meaning mods and fan missions should be able to use it - it having a proper model could be good too.
I think this would make sense going into SCP directly as it's basically fixing an oversight

I can make more if these are useful at all.

The distinction should be rather subtle yet discernible enough at a cursory glance.
This mod should also be compatible with SCP, Secmod, and generally all fan missions. //note - SCPb5 (and newer) now has its own version of this integrated, hence, this mod is no longer SCP-compatible. do not use.
