EarthBound Zero: Ninten

Description
THIS IS A PORT OF THE DON'T STARVE TOGETHER MOD BY YOURS TRULY.
Be sure to give it a look!


The Original


The main protagonist of EarthBound Beginnings, Ninten is a young boy with a knack for baseball, penguins and being cool. In his game, he sets out to discover the origin of his psychic powers and save Earth from alien invasion, but now his skills are put to the test against the threats of the Constant in Don't Starve!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perk Overview
Ninten gains extra sanity from wearing clothing items, as well as the ability to craft his baseball cap and coat: both highly valuable items. Along with that, he possesses the ability to use the PSI techniques PSI Shield and 4D Slip, potent abilities that can be upgraded as he progresses. However, Ninten preferring style over safety means he will refuse to wear armor, and he also suffers from asthma, a condition that can flair up from being too active or failing to dress appropriately for the season. Be sure to keep it under control as it can become life threatening, although he can fall back on his trusty inhaler if it comes down to it... assuming you possess one!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4D Slip

  • Teleports Ninten to the selected location
  • May be upgraded to 4D Slip Omega, which increases Ninten's run speed by 50% for a short period of time after teleportation

  • Requires 2 purple gems to upgrade (shadow manipulator)
  • NOTE: to cast shield on yourself, equip the item and then right click it again. This is due to a limitation in Don't Starve that disallows spell casters to target themselves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Bugs
  • THE MOD IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH VANILLA DON'T STARVE (No DLC enabled), THERE IS VERY LITTLE I CAN DO ABOUT THIS. I apologize for the inconvenience, I may look for a resolution in the future but right now this is a won't-fix.
  • If a Beefalo rider has a Powershield and the Beefalo is hit, they will reflect back damage to the attacker even though the Beefalo is the only one to take damage. This effectively means you can stack the effects of Powershield with the Beefalo and reflect 160% of incoming damage back.
  • *This is not precisely a bug but the mod adds Ninten's Inhaler to the 'The Sty' Oddities Emporium (I have yet to see it ingame so please let me know if you do), but because of how the code for shops is structured, this WILL cause issues with other mods that edit the item list for the same shop. Apologies but it's out of my hands. If demanded I can remove this feature.
Please let Lucas know if you find any issues. This port was quite extensive so it's entirely possible something was missed. Please be descriptive, I'm not a magician I can't magically know what the problem is, thanks in advance!

Also, the mod is configurable. You can change his stats, sanity costs for PSI or even turn off his asthma if you find it too intrusive. Constructive feedback is nevertheless appreciated.

Insulating clothing items lower the risk of asthma attacks from physical exertion (walking, chopping, mining, hammering, digging, hacking, fighting). The risk depends on the type of exertion, walking is the lowest risk, fighting is the highest. The higher the insulation value (think Breezy Vest vs. Puffy Vest), the better the item is at preventing asthma. Ninten's Coat should be all you need to get through the first season without having an asthma attack, but seasons with more severe weather will require better protection.

Ninten can experience asthma attacks from rain, but again only via physical exertion. You can also mitigate this with clothing that protects him from getting wet.

Risk of asthma attack will go down slowly if Ninten is not doing anything at all, and it will reset completely if he skips the night via sleep. When Ninten warns you that his asthma is acting up, stand still if you can and wait until he says he's feeling better. If you need a complete refresh, sleep.

@Gami. I'm glad the mod is enjoyable, but I apologize the difficultly in managing Ninten's asthma. The design of the inhaler is to be a last resort option, you want to prevent asthma as much as possible so you never get to the point where he has an asthma attack in the first place. There are actually ways to mitigate asthma, I'll divulge how the system works and hopefully that'll help with working with it. If you still find it too cumbersome, asthma attacks can be disabled in the mod's settings.

está muy entretenido de jugar pero el Asma es el mayor problema por ser unicamente tratable con el inalador ademas de lo ligeramente dificil de hacer...

I apologize, but I'm not sure I quite understand your question.

@Leonidas IV We used the the same Extended Sample Character for DST. To get the boat symbols working for it I simply edited its SCML based on information in this thread here [forums.kleientertainment.com] to add in the missing boat symbols, which I retrieved from the Shipwrecked version of the Extended Sample Character.

Hopefully that helps clear things up, and thanks!
