Of course. It is live now over Here.
Thanks for the amazing mod that defined my over thousand hours of Necrodancer experience!

Go for it! Just link back to this one so everyone knows who made the assets.

Hello, I love this mod and wanted to update it for the new DLC, Synchrony. It's merely a compatibility patch with no new graphics added. Would it be okay to publish it?

Frendship is magic... and magic is HERESY!

But.... why?

*Insert "Tom using a phone" meme here*

Nice, rlly like this mod

Huh. Not as many hate comments as I thought would be here.

no. just no...

@RhythmPixel All right, I tested it out (and that means I bought the DLC, so I can do future testing as it gets updated) and created a new workshop page for it. I'll see if I can convince my spriter to get me some sprites for the new character(s), but I can't guarantee anything yet.

Well here we go, this should hopefully be fixed for Amplified, and sorry if something breaks. You never know what could happen. Also I recommend making a seperate workshop submission for this, so that people without the DLC can use this one here and the other if they have it.

@RhythmPixel Oh, the Quartz Armor is the new piece of, armor.
I'll, take a look at the rest of the stuff as soon as I can. I'm sorry, I'm probably going to be busy with other stuff tomorrow.

@Salty Justice
Oh! Well totally not expecting that, definitely not my thing.
But hey, good on you for working on a project like that. It takes a good amount of effort and dedication to do that, so good luck!

Since you asked, you can find everything at this wordpress blog an/or Patreon:

Warnings: 1) It's an ecchi project (both links are worksafe) 2) It has nothing to do with ponies whatsoever.
If that's not your thing then that's okay with me.

@Cooly568
I hope you don't mind that I already got a working Cadance, except it's using the glass armor for quartz armor. Body [www.dropbox.com] and Head [www.dropbox.com]

Maybe if you figure it out as well we could split the work? Add me if you want to.

Also to the author, what's this project your team is working on? I'm curious about it.

Ohhh, I'll take a look at it then. Compare it against dimensions of files that do work with Amplified and see if I can get them patched, at least enough to run.

@Cooly568
What most likely happened was the sprite sheets changed dimensions (probably not names) because I noticed the loading routines for CotND do not check for out-of-range errors. I don't have the Amplified DLC yet, but the basic process for making a mod is:
1: Locate the original image you want to modify
2: Copy it.
3: Modify the frames.
4: Save the new copy in the mod folder.

Assuming Amplified uses the same basic code, it should be possible to get the new sprite sheets and just use the mod's frames for the relevant frames. New ones probably got added for the new equipment, in which case you could leave them as-is or recycle existing frames until we add new ones.

Don't hold your breath, though, I've got a lot on my plate since I just launched a patreon and took on a huge project with my spriter.

Any aspiring modders out there who want to fix it for Amplified have the team's blessing to do so, because the most important part of any game is being able to play it.

Sucks that Amplfied broke mods that didn't change Amplified content and stuff.
I'd look into fixing this mod myself, but, I have no clue how to do it.
There's probably a possible way to patch it, as the error is with the armor texture files, apparently, but, iunno.

@Hope Queen of the Lost
Im sure the creators will fix it in due time. Just be patient

I hope the creator of this mod fixes it so it works with amplified, or at least somebody else fix it so we can be ponies again. This was my favorite mod to use when I played.

also for anyone wanting to get the DLC Amplified. be warned. this entire mod will not work anymore.

Fair enough Salty. Tell him i said good luck then

Judging by trailer alone, her only screencapped shapeshifting reminded me more of Nightmare Moon than Chrysalis (and theme would kinda fit her original name I guess), but yeah, I'm too yet to get the addon and check it myself.

"More playable characters" to come it seems anyway, there's hardly any rush now :)

@Kandaro Steel Crescent
It's something I'll be looking into whenever I wind up getting the DLC. My spriter has a very big paid project on right now, and I'd hate to have to pull him away from it.

who do you plan on making the amplified character? A certain changeling queen perhaps.

> Bolt is now Rainbow Dash! That alone makes this mod great.
That alone makes this mod about 20% cooler.

And these are just for refining. You can just leave it. It doesn't effect anything.
delete vo_brd_hello_06_homeslice
delete vo_brd_iceslip_03,07,09 and replace 03 with 08
delete vo_brd_trapdoor 02 and replace with 03
delete vo_brd_ranged_01~05
delete vo_eli_hotcoals_04,06,08,11 and replace 04,06,08 with 09,10,12
delete vo_eli_melee_4_05
delete vo_eli_ranged_01~07
delete vo_eli_roar_01,02

And even more refining. (or you can call it my personal taste)
replace vo_eli_heal_01 with vo_cad_heal_03
replace vo_eli_hurt_02,03 with vo_cad_hurt_04,06
vo_brd_grabbed_01~04 is fine
vo_brd_teleport_01~06 is fine
vo_eli_iceslip_01~03 is fine
vo_eli_squish_01~04 is fine
vo_eli_trapdoor_01~03 is fine

I love this mod and I just want it to be perfect.

Here's something needs to be fixed
vo_brd_squished_01~05 should be renamed to vo_brd_squish_01~05
Because you renamed the files without matching one-on-one, some files are not played and some originals files are played instead. I can see that you did some of it, but it's not 100% done.

These are the files this mod doesn't have, in other words, plays original voices.
vo_brd_dig_06
vo_brd_hotcoals_08
vo_brd_hotcoals_09
These are the files the game doesn't have, in other words, doesn't play.
vo_brd_hello_06_homeslice
vo_brd_iceslip_07,08,09
vo_brd_trapdoor_03
vo_brd_ranged_01~05
vo_eli_hotcoals_09~12
vo_eli_melee_4_05
vo_eli_ranged_01~07
vo_eli_roar_01,02
(includes unused files (in game))

So what I did is
Copy vo_brd_dig_05 and rename it to 06
vo_brd_hotcoals_02 to 08
vo_brd_hotcoals_06 to 09
So that similar sounds doesn't play frequently.

Best Mod Ever!

I kinda wanna download this mod for a standalone version of this game. Any tips as to how I can?

@Salty Justice
Alright. It was just a question.
Besides, I don't think I could do it. Plus, all the voice lines, ugh.

@TheHappyUmbreon
We have no plans to change anything else. If you happen to find some lucky artist who really wants to redo it (mine are busy) then I'd add them in, but barring that, no.

I only have one thing to ask of: Are you going to change the necrodancer? It'd fit if the Necrodancer became Queen Crysalis, or if the Necrodacer became Terik.
Other than that, this is awesome!

Brilliant drawings, absolute 100% hit with the names (Cadence, Aria, etc.)
You guys are amazing! <3

Thanks to your entire team for all the hard work. Rarity is simply fabulous; I love the little nose-in-the-air pose!

Alright thanks.

@Steel Crescent
I don't care what you do with your own copy, but if you're going to do that, you made a mistake.
The sprite sheets use fixed sizes, and CotND knows what those sizes are when determining its sprites.

Cadence/Cadance has a "heads" sheet that is 96x48, which is 4x2. That means each sprite is 24x24. Coda/Sombra is 132x60, which is 33x30.

If you use the incorrect size, you will get that odd offset effect which causes the sprite to drift to the side. The solution is just to copy the original Cadence sheet's size, then reposition the Sombra sprites as necessary into it. You should probably make an underlying grid because that's what I had to do to reposition the changeling sprites.

Good luck in your endeavours!

@Salty Justice
Sorry about the Quality. haven't messed with bandicam in a while. but here. and im sorry if replacing some chars with a seperate folder is a no no with you. i just like doing it and i wanted Twily and Sombra in the 1p and 2p slots along with my OC (not my avatar) in as the bard.

@Steel Crescent
Can you be specific? I don't see any problems on my copy. Is anyone else having the same problem with those characters?

Sombra and Twilight sprites are broken. the animations do not play right and instead are all over the place.

Cool new changes.

This mod is delicious. It actually got me back into CotND. I sincerely thank you.

Cool

Fun fact, comrades.
Urimas has only to finish one character, and version 3 will be released!

If you didn't know, you can change the mainmenu image. If you seek for perfection, feel free to mod it.
mods\mainmenu\mainmenu.png (480X270)

This is the best mod in CotN! Keep up the good work.

This is one of the best mods i have had the pleasure of playing, keep up the great work :D

Beforehand I thought "isn't it weird that Shining and Cadence are supposed to be married to each other, yet the character's they're replacing (Dorian and non-pony Cadence, respectively) have a father-daughter relationship?"
Then I thought "hey well Octavia and pony Aria have no family bond whatsoever, that checks it out i guess".

"Dorian is now Shining Armor! Don't think about that too much!"

Yes, I should've.

I think just normal Twilight will do.
Also, gotta work on what daExile said.

@Hammer Bros
I completely forgot about Player 2! I suppose I'll see about putting something in the next (and final) update. Whenever I can get my spriter to work on it...

> replaces clones with the ever-popular Changelings.
You forgot to replace their "portrait" pic appearing in practice (:
