This mod adds retextured models with matching object icons for the EndurBoost and the ExperTech – so that they are no longer visually identical to the BrawnBoost and the SwiftBoost respectively. 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.

Now this I can get behind (if it looks good in-game).

66492f1789972

Nice one. I was going to do something similar to make anti-radiation hypos a deeper shade of green to better distinguish them from anti-toxin hypos (red-green color deficient here). I should get on that.

66492f1789add

and maybe integrate everything into one mod then? SS2 Recolored Inventory Objects or something.

66492f1789bd8

Good idea. Any other items that need it? I can't think of anything else that's a problem. French-Epstein Devices can be hard to spot at a glance, I guess, but not a big deal.

What about the organic implants? Is color the only thing we can use to distinguish them? What about shape? These are organs after all. Perhaps they should look like the organs they came from.

66492f1789faa

Several of the implants look identical.

66492f178a0e7

Maybe, different symbols in place of the lightning bolt, wouldn't help the inventory image but it'd be one more way to distinguish them

66492f178a214

Not sure if this would interest you, but made some test icons for a varied symbol on the implant for the world model. Tested by replacing SOFT2.pcx. Concepts for Brawn, Lab, and Psi boosts.

I can make more if these are useful at all.

66492f178a3a8

The lightning bolt icon means that they must be charged.

66492f178a497

That makes a lot of sense. Not sure why, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out why the bolt was there, even though I know those get charged.

66492f178a5c6

beauapropos do you have any plans to expand this mod in the future? Do you need any help? I think this taps into potential nobody really addressed before.

66492f178aa6c

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

66492f178ab91

wormblend needs to be made functional first. as far as SCP integration goes, no strong feelings one way or the other.

66492f178ac77

I think that's already done.

66492f178af26

I was under the impression it was already working, based on this quote

Quote by voodoo47:

2. no, it doesn't work, but we have a wip script that will make it work. it will be released as a standalone mod when complete.

I wonder how that wip script is doing...

66492f178b069

Yeah, what are you even doing all day, voodoo47?!

66492f178b13e

NOT scripting, that's for sure.

66492f178b20f

I don't mean it like that you guys.

66492f178b308

in any case, I've been kind of distracted by a lot of annoying things lately, and I really need to hop back into my SS2 shoes.

still not going to do any scripting though, as I suck at advanced stuff. once a grease monkey, always a grease monkey.

66492f178b46d

Got around to recoloring the anti-radiation hypo to a deeper green so it's easier to see for red-green color deficient ("""colorblind""") folks like myself. This could be merged with beauapropos' work for a Recolored Inventory Objects mod, just credit me or whatever.

There's one version of the pickup texture based on the vanilla anti-rad hypo, and one version based on SHTUP -- the comparison shot is using SHTUP.

66492f178b6f7

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.

66492f178b87b

Follow up to my other post, but I've been messing around with retexturing SS2 stuff and I figured I'd give a shot at editing the RunFast implant. Decided to go ahead and do the WormBlend implant as well, since it was being discussed earlier in the thread.

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

66492f178b9b9

Despite being unused in vanilla game, I had actually thought of doing exactly that but ultimately decided against it since some FMs utilize them and even have their own custom assets.
