Animated and Improved Scarves v 4.0 Final ~ by Ashtar01



==============
 INTRODUCTION
==============


Since the game's release, I've been bothered by the look of Miriam's scarves. They were great ideas but were partially executed, unfortunately. From now on, no more!

All scarves have been animated and each has its own unique VFX. They were animated according to the item description or its attributes in the game.

"Animated and Improved Scarves" mod plus "Twin Mermaids Scarf" mod complete the change of all scarves in the game!


" Twin Mermaids Scarf v3.0 " by Ashtar01

The scarves that have been changed are:
 


"Bat Wings":


- The physics of the scarf was modified so that it did not cross Miriam's body.
- The original model of this scarf was too small, so I increased its size a little so that it was more visible on Miriam's back.
I added a VFX of a soft red glow that slowly fades and reappears.




 "Faerie Scarf":

- The physics of the scarf was modified so that it did not cross Miriam's body.
- The texture has been slightly modified.
- It was animated according to the "Thunder attribute" that the scarf has within the game.



"Fangshi Scarf":

- The texture of this scarf suggested that it would have a VFX but, for some unknown reason, it was not implemented by the game developers. I just reused the ready-made textures and made some adjustments, animating the scarf as it supposedly should
have been animated.
- The physics of the scarf was modified so that it did not cross Miriam's body.




"Flame Scarf":

- This scarf also suggested that it would have a VFX but, for some unknown reason, it was not implemented by the game developers.
- I made some adjustments to the texture and it was animated according to the item description which suggests that the scarf
looks like fire.
- The physics of the scarf was modified so that it did not cross Miriam's body.



"Talisman Scarf":

- I was forced to directly modify the mesh and physics of this scarf due to existing problems. It looks like it was created in a hurry. The ideograms of the masks were misaligned with the color map and it had problems with weight painting. It was laborious to modify this scarf.
- The physics of the scarf was modified so that it did not cross Miriam's body.




"Over the Rainbow":

- This was the first scarf that I modified but I didn't want to share it alone. Despite the existence of another mod which animates
this scarf, my version has a slightly different animation. Colors change in various directions, more precisely speaking, in two
different directions of the scarf. The perception of the effect is subtle.
- The physics of the scarf was modified so that it did not cross Miriam's body.



"Bunny Scarf": 

- I created a very simple VFX that oscillates the colors of the scarf between the original color and blue. It is not noticeable, unfortunately, but the white part flows in the colors of the rainbow. If I can adjust the effect better in the future, I will update
the one currently available for download.

- The physics of the scarf was modified so that it did not cross Miriam's body.



"Gunman's Scarf":

- New textures were created for "Gunman's Scarf". I added a VFX where the bullet marks glow red.
- The scarf physics was corrected to respect Miriam's body shape.



   "Scarf":

- I added to Miriam's "Default Scarf" a VFX that glows softly in a light blue color.
- The scarf physics was corrected to respect Miriam's body shape.



"Order-made Scarf":

- New textures were created for "Order-made Scarf";
- Added a VFX that displays a cloud of glitter that passes through the colored part of the scarf. The effect was adapted respecting the 24 available colors of the scarf in the game.
- The scarf physics was corrected to respect Miriam's body shape.



"Journey Scarf":

- New textures were created for "Journey Scarf";
- Added a VFX that displays an alternating blue and gold lighting.
- The scarf physics was corrected to respect Miriam's body shape.



Hope you enjoy and have fun ! :)


Ashtar.

UPDATE:
========

► 2022-09-15 - About "Update 1.4" and the new "Journey" DLC:

-
After "Update 1.4", the file named "RequiredtogetJourneyScarf_999_p.pak" is no longer needed to activate the "Journey scarf". Only use the main file called "Ashtar01AnimatedScarvesJS_p.pak"


► 2022-06-14 -
Update to game version 1.31 and Inclusion of "Journey", the last scarf so far:

- I just updated this mod with the inclusion of the last animated scarf for the package: "Journey Scarf";

- To activate the new scarf in the game it is necessary to keep the file "RequiredtogetJourneyScarf_999_p.pak" together with the file "Ashtar01AnimatedScarvesJS_p.pak". After obtaining it as indicated in the image where I show the location of the chest where you get the scarf, save your game.

 - The physics of all the scarves were readjusted to respect Miriam's body shape in the best possible way;

- "Animated and Improved Scarves" mod plus "Twin Mermaids Scarf" mod complete the change of all scarves in the game!



PS: Before anyone asks, VFX are disabled for most items within menus and conversation scenes. I don't know why but the developers decided that. So I'm sorry I can't do anything about it.



==============
  INSTALLATION
==============

1 - To avoid mess and confusion with mods, create a folder (for example, "Mods" or "~Mods") within the "Paks" folder in the game directory. It can be any name because it makes no difference.

2 - Copy the file "Ashtar01AnimatedScarves_p.pak" and "RequiredtogetJourneyScarf_999_p.pak" into this newly created folder.

================
  UNINSTALLATION
================

To uninstall:

1) Delete the file "Ashtar01AnimatedScarves_p.pak" and "RequiredtogetJourneyScarf_999_p.pak" located inside the folder that was created to place the mod files inside the "Paks" folder in the game directory.
