Better Arcade Machines

Description
Earlier, I had several requests for a mod that made arcade machines usable. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make them usable with my current level of expertise. But I could certainly make them better... with a little help.

This mod replaces the textures of the "arcademachine," "arcadeblue," "arcadered," "arcadeyellow," "arcadegreen," "arcadepurple," "arcadeorange," and "arcadestarbound" items. Instead of the same boring two-frame animation of a blue screen on every single one of them, now they all show fancier three-frame animations of what actual gameplay might look like. In addition, the "arcademachine" item can be toggled on and off; I wanted to do this for all eight items, but the rest are set up in a different way that didn't play well with what I was trying to do.

All of these items can be found in hylotl underwater cities. Go find an underwater city. Chances are, there will be an arcade filled with them. Or, if you feel like cheating, you can spawn them in using "/spawnitem <name>" but replacing <name> with one of the quoted names in the paragraph above. Minus the quotes and commas, of course.

Now, I'm no good at pixel art. But Kenthria, of Tall Story Studios, is. She designed all of the images, and I just coded them in. Go check out her Facebook page at facebook.com/kenthria and give her some praise if you like this mod, because she really did most of the work.

Fellow Mac user here. Yeah .DS_Store files are vestigial files left over from the build on Mac.

It does nothing, it's just left over because I built the mod on a Mac. You can delete it if you want.

@Reyquiem what is this .DS_Store file on your mod on it?

Um... this seems to crash shipworld. Somehow.

I think the current flashes of light on the arcade machines are broken. Some parts of light seem broken and loop in ways it probably shouldn't.

No, just the contents.pak should be necessary. It's likely that my Mac added in some hidden files that don't do anything for the mod.

This mod has other files than the contents.pak in it, do those files need to be installed on a server as well? I'm sorry if I'm dumb.

Personally I just think the Grey and blue arcade machine's light is a little too bright.

This mod is crashing the science outpost for FU
