Overwrites nearly all of the original textures for Lea with textures befitting of the Ninja Skin DLC. Requires DLC to work properly. Please note that I am not at all a professional pixel artist, so some of these textures could use some more work. In any case, if you feel you want to make some changes, you absolutely can.
This is a simple mod that tries to better integrate the Ninja Skin DLC into CrossCode. Almost all of the textures have been paletted over to fit the style and general theme of the Ninja Skin. This even includes facial expressions, all of which have been redone. There is also some modifications to dialogue that reflect characters' reactions to Lea's skin. Please keep in mind that in the mods current state, not every texture is replaced -- there are a few, predominately from the "A New Home" DLC that still need to be done.
Obviously, I can't just give all of the files from the Ninja Skin DLC for you to download and use. Although that would be more convenient for installation, that would also be piracy. As a result, you will have to supply the main "entity/player" files from the main DLC in order to get the full experience. There will be a guide below on how to do that on Steam; the process should be fairly similar if you own the game from another digital storefront. All it requires is locating the game files on your PC.
You're going to need CCLoader to install this mod, unless you want to manually inject each and every file (including the code changes) into your game's directory. If that's what you would rather do, then more power to you. But for the rest of you, install CCLoader using the installation guide below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY3_C2D2gDA
For all intensive purposes, I recommend using CCLoader to save time instead of installing all of the asset replacements.
You also will need a file archiver program, such as WinRAR or 7Zip. Chances are you likely already have a program like these on your computer if you have ever downloaded a .zip file before.
_STEP 0: Make sure you have CrossCode and the DLC installed!
1. Clone / download the .zip file from this repository under the 'Release' section.
2. Extract the downloaded file to somewhere you can easily access it, such as your desktop.
3. Locate your CrossCode directory. On Steam, you can do this by right-clicking on the games' listing in the Library section, going to Properties, clicking on Local Files and finally pressing the Browse..._ button.
4. Navigate to the following directory within the folder you just opened:
assets\extension\ninja-skin\media\entity\player\skins
You are looking for something like this:
5. Copy the two files listed in the image above.
6. Next, go back to the .zip file you extracted, and navigate to the following directory:
assets\media\entity\player
You should see something like this:
7. Paste or drag in the files from the Ninja DLC into this folder.
Note: For the "A New Home" DLC, you will also need to add the sleeping.png file in this folder as well.
8. Rename these textures to overwrite the move.png and throw.png respectively. You want the name to be identical to what these two files are. Your going to have to remove the original files you're replacing before you can do this step.
9. Drag the entire folder of the mod into the following directory in your CrossCode folder:
assets\mods
And you are done!
Optional: If you want to give this mod file a .ccmod extension, you can do that by right-clicking on the folder, clicking "Add to Archive..." and changing the extension in the Archive Name to .ccmod.
Of course, in order to prevent piracy, please do not share your finished product of this mod with anyone else, unless they own the Skin. Radical Fish is an indie studio, so let's do our best to support their work in the future.
That's it! Enjoy!
