This mod aims to add rare variants to the slimes of the game. when a slime spawns it has a chance to randomly spawn as a shiny, appearing a different colour and having an internal value that identifies it as a shiny. at the present moment shinies function identically to the gen 3-8 Pokemon games when compared to their original counterparts... they just look different. this however is intended to differ later on in development.

as it currently stands, here's a list of current features in the mod.

• All slimes (should include modded) may spawn with a shiny value set to 1. any slime set with a shiny value of 1 will look different from its counterpart with a value of 0. the odds are currently a 1/2000.
• Slimes keep their shiny value between play sessions and even through the vacpac. they keep their colours with that shiny value as well. (later updates that change a shiny's shiny form will be released in a set of 2. one that replaces all previously obtained shinies with their updated appearance, and another that leaves them be.)
• Every slime except for golds and pure sabers may spawn with a different appearance
• special event skins for special occasions are possible.
  

Here's a list of current features that aren't intended, aren't technically bugs, but will be removed/fixed at a later date.

• secret styles in general don't present as they are intended to. while they do function, they just aren't what they are going to be when i get a chance to get them working the way i want them to.
  

A list of planned features, since why not.

• every slime having a shiny form coloured (and not just set to null on every colour)
• inter-mod communication so other modders can add shiny forms to their slimes to be used by this mod (and not just get permanently locked into null colour)
• largos being shiny based on the slime that was fed the plort (2 shiny forms for every single largo...)
• unique palettes for secret styles, separate from the normal palettes, meaning a shiny secret style will have its own unique appearance similarly to its normal counterpart.
• unique icons for the vacpac to present if you have a shiny in a slot.

Commands:
one command was added, even if only temporarily, being skinspawn. it functions almost identically to the spawn command, though requires a second argument with an optional 3rd. the syntax is as follows. note there is not any autocomplete made for it yet.

skinspawn <slime id> <skin type> [count]

accepted skin types are EVENT, SHINY, DEV. anything else will return a normal slime as if using the spawn command.
