Description
A stand alone mod that rehauls, redesigns and reanimates the original Ponies Crypt mod - featuring UI reworks, title cards and bestiaries unique to each character, all of which fully compatible with all the DLCs. Regardless, I still highly recommend buying ALL DLCs for the highest quality experience.



IMPORTANT:
If your mod has not updated alongside a recent update to the mod, please verify your game cache!!
Also make sure to have installed all of the required mods, otherwise you'll have mixed assets!

The animation base from the original mod has been completely cleaned up, tweaked and now features a much brighter and simplified colour pallet - the regular base was then redesigned to have a stallion variant, to which is then used on characters like Big Macintosh.

All the Photoshop files used to create this mod are included - Feel free to use and create your own!

For ongoing updates, please check the Change Logs, if you wish to suggest a feature or a QC issue, please inform me via. discord or the discussion board.

In that case, this might be a bug already fixed, as the changelings will be getting a redesign, alongside new offsets per character, for a standardised set of sprites, rather than the one in base game.

I tried describing a similar bug November 29th last year in this thread. The looping side to side happens with the changelings when using the Pinkie Pie character.

If you want to help debug the issue, add me and we can discuss more specifics.
Elybun Apr 24 @ 7:23pm 
Oops, thought I subscribed. Essentially, the sprite, rather than staying still, eternally moves horizontally in a loop on the square it takes up
Thea Vanherst  [author] Apr 16 @ 12:24pm 
I'm really not sure what exactly you're trying to describe.
Elybun Apr 16 @ 11:44am 
I found an issue as well regarding sprites. In essence, the sprites for AJ and Shining for Dorian and Eli respectively loop side to side. As well, Maud for suzu has a couple pixels that squeeze in, as she seems off center. Unsure if this is a personal error issue or something else.

I found a bug (literally)
The changelings in the second world continuously loop in the direction it's facing when the skin is Pinkie Pie. By that I mean the changeling pinkie pie sprite is continuously looping from one side to the other. I really don't know how to describe it well. It sorta makes her look 2 legged lol

I do not know how to change the voice lines without having to mess around with it for a large duration of time to which at this moment in time I do not want to do, unfortunately.
Midnight Sparkle Nov 25, 2023 @ 8:02am 
Something that would be really neat is creating matching voices for each character. I finally got around to trying to beat all the levels with each character and some voices really don't fit lol
Thea Vanherst  [author] Nov 7, 2023 @ 12:01am 
I'm pretty sure it's in relation to a DLC character like reaper, I couldn't tell you why but it shouldn't cause any issues.
