Description
Do you miss the spritework of Santer's Improved Tech Station Holograms? Miss no longer!

This is a reupload of the mod Slightly Improved Tech Station Holograms, which stopped working a while back. It has been restored, given a metadata file, and is reuploaded for your enjoyment!

Credits:
- Santer for doing all the spritework and originally making the mod. All I did was make it work with the latest versions of the game and reupload it. Seriously, full credit goes to him, and I am greatful he let me reupload it.
- All of you wonderful people still reading these credits. I love all of you, stay safe, and have a great day.

Original Description:
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬:

- 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥:
- The male and female versions now have more distinguishable silhoulettes (Broader shoulders for males, thinner jawline, waist and arms and broader hips for females).
- Made the lower leg a bit thinner to make the sprites overall far less clunky and blocky.
- Facial reconstruction to make females look more like females.
- Fixed some small continuity errors, like even out the height of the eyes and mouth and the Glitch's visor being black instead of a dark shade of blue.
- Changed some more very minor things like singular pixels being out of place.
- Adjusted a few things to my liking.

- 𝐀𝐩𝐞𝐱
- Made the "Unibrow" a little less visible and a little less exaggerated for females.

- 𝐀𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐧
- Changed beak shape and reduced beak size for females.
- Added some cheek fluff.
- Made the feathers on the forearms a little smaller for females (I don't really know why i did this either :^) ).

- 𝐆𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡
- Tweaked head shape so they look less like robotic mushrooms
- Made the legs thicker to better fit the rest of the sprites.
- Fixed a small inconsistency with the distance between the stripes on the legs.

- 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧
- Actually made a male sprite that differs from the female one. (If my game files are anything to go by then these two were actually the 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞. Not even kidding.)
- Fixed a small symmetrical error on the leaf covering the chest for females.
- Changed some of the lines on the arms and legs as well as reducing the size of the leaves on the arms for females (Again, nothing more to go by than that i thought it looked better :^) ).
- Adjusted the mouths to more closely resemble the wicked floran grin we all know and "love".

- 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧
- Added mouths. That was it (besides the general changes).

- 𝐇𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐥
- Tinkered around with the mouths a bit to try and get some variety.
- Changed the number of ribs(?) on the belly to 6 (Once again, i just think it looks nicer :^) ).

- 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐝
- Attempted to combat the overwhelming blandness of the sprites by adding the corresponding gender symbols as brands.


𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐈 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭, 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭.

Have a nice day.

There aren't any other versions of this mod that I know of, no.
Im pretty sure I made the Floran sprites the way they are because the actual player sprites are visibly distinguishable as male and female (which can I say is just really dumb? I do really like the idea of them being genderless but then why slap breasts on them? It just seems really half assed).

As for the Glitch waist, yeah i don't know whats up with it either. I created this mod almost five years ago now and if i were making this mod today I'd be doing most things very differently

Dang, I've always really liked this mod but there are a few very small tweaks I'd like to make and I have precisely no idea how to do them. I know a *little* about pixel art but actual modding is a complete mystery to me.

Do you know of a version of this mod that includes a Floran sprite that is a retouched version of the original but is the same for both "sexes"? I really like the style of this mod but I also really vibe with the detail that since Floran are genderless, their tech screens are the same no matter what you choose at character creation.

Also, is it just me or does the female glitch waist look... too small? Its a teeny detail but I can't unsee it lol

If you mean it was hard, I can't imagine, since all it took was adding "includes" : ["FrackinUniverse"] to the metadata file

I tried to make a Frackin' Universe version of this one time. You can imagine how that went.

never thought I'd want a slightly smiling floran hologram but here we are. Nice spritework by Santer
