What does Darce's Drifters Redone add?
Original Mod: Darce's Drifters
Hate getting one-shotted by those tiny drifters because their coats are slighty different colors? This mod fixes that!
Darce's Drifter's Redone is a rework of Darce's Drifters, completely overhauling the original models, as well as many unique animations including completely new ones for compatibility with Gerste's Cats!
Special thanks to Darce for giving me permission to upload this mod and its original models, and to Tenth Architect for getting me into VSMC and hopefully using this as a jumping off point for future projects.
Features:
-
- Overhauls the appearance of all Drifters, making them more distinct and recognizable in combat. Hitboxes are accordingly scaled.
- Retains Combat Overhaul compatiblity patch from the original mod. (Please report any issues or oddities, as I don't play with Combat Overhaul myself)
- Tweaks of Darce's animations for added detail, such as a noticable wobble and swing to the double-headed drifter's heads, and some other minor details to others.
- New and unique worship animations for Gerste's Cats fitting the appearance of each drifter.
- Texture changes: Texture anomalies have been patched, and color palletes have been switched closer to shivers and bowtorns. More naturally rusty with more dirty colors. Additionally, drifters now have hanging skin from their head and abdomen.
What's New:
1.2.4 (For 1.21) and 1.2.4-pre. 1 (For 1.20):
-
- Many visual tweaks and additions. Larger drifters should appear less stubby, more spikes, spines, and blades.
- Corrupt and Double-headed drifter hitboxes have been readjusted to enter one-block spaces.
1.2.3 (For 1.21+):
-
- Hitbox fix! Crawling drifter hitboxes are now more appropriate, so they should be less annoying to fight. (1.21 only)
1.2.0:
-
- Hanging flax skin from the head and abdomen of all drifters, similar to shivers/bowtorns.
- Surface drifter variants are now given shiver inspired color schemes (Vanilla grey tone, sickly skin tone, and dark rotten tone).
- More metal spikes and spines for aesthetic synergy with shiver/bowtorns. Deep drifters are closer to recent concept art. Spines are returned to the nightmare difters.
1.1.1:
-
- New chomp attack animation for the double headed drifter. (Combat Overhaul)
1.1.0:
-
- Altered textures to better match the color pallete of shivers and bowtorns. Less saturated, more natural, dirty and "colorful".
- Visual rework of the tainted and double-headed drifter. The tainted drifter has a bludgeon hand that swings back and forth, and the double headed drifter is a bit more menacing now.
- Some UV fixes and alternate textures for deep and tainted drifters.
