SS2 X-mas mod

Tags: °DML stub °object °SS2

This mod will add a bit of holiday cheer to the corridors of vonBraun. Santa hats for everyone, and most AIs will wield or shoot candy or ornaments. Wrench and shotgun are now candycanes, all booze is eggnog. Will work with the Shock Comunity Patch (recommended because of all the extra effects) and vanilla (SS2tool patched). RttUNN fan mission is also supported. All the changes are purely cosmetic.

Install: load the mod with mod manager (highest priority), start the game and disable music in the audio options. The background xmas tune can be disabled by deleting the SND folder. Remember, if using the Rebirth version, the Rebirth mod needs to be loaded as well (lower priority than the xmas mod). Rename shock2.gam.dml to shocksec.gam.dml if using Secmod (3.2+, untested).

fondly reminds me of tyrian's xmass mode.

oops - attached an incomplete Rebirth archive somehow. fixed - if your Rebirth xmas archive is smaller than 1.5MB, you better redownload.

Christmas event imminent - please move this mod to the top of the mod stack!

Pity there's no way to mod the mall to be more festive, or xerxes's 'x days til christmas' message to reflect the season.

[663f8b5ee9c45voodoo47]

I'm pretty much only limited by the availability of (xmas themed) resources.

Hybrid drunk-staggering at you with a giant bottle.

...are you sure they're actually zombies instead of just piss drunk?

[663f8b5ee9e14voodoo47]

yeah, the grenade hybrids are genuinely hilarious - especially the Rebirth ones.

more cheer has been added. note that by nature (spawning attachments en masse), it's pretty much impossible to set everything to look 100% correct - some positioning oddities are bound to happen.

but now you can kiss a midwife under the mistletoe.. with a candy shotgun.

a rather annoying bug has slipped in - fixed and reuploaded as 1.02.

Good job on this.  Very nicely done and very festive
