VictiM Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hey! Wondering if there are any working Christmas Mods, specifically looking for cosmetic ones. Christmas Trees, Christmas Lights, Santa, Reindeer, etc. I've looked around a bit but can't quite find anything. If there are any developers active here maybe someone could create a simple one? I would be interested in helping / beta testing the mod but can't offer much insight into the coding as I don't know how to code at all. :/ Thanks!

Mobbstar Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I'll help with the coding, sure. And as you said, it should be more decorative, we have the Santa Boss of last year anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanAzej Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I think that "Christmas mod" idea is better suited for DST (because there you can actually trade gifts with each other). I could make some cool graphics for a mod like that, I guess. Depends on what it would include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobbstar Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 There's already a "festive" mod for DST. 35 minutes ago, PanAzej said: you can actually trade gifts with each other Actual gifts would be amazing! Cannot be opened by their maker, but the loot gets worse each time the same person gifts to the same other person, just to avoid "grinding" and promote sharing. Of course, this will reset at in-game christmas night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, this will reset at in-game christmas night The mod could introduce a few different festive packing paper patterns. Players could use it to wrap their items in it. And maybe a new prototyping machine that will let players build new festive decorations. Any maybe a new boss battle, with a magician of sorts that would spawn ice boulders around and transform them into ice-y hounds/pigs/monkeys? Or better, Ice Lobsters Their weakness would be fire (yay for Willow buff) Players would have an option to quickly mine some of them to not be bombarded with too many enemies. Or something.

Gifts are definitely a cool idea, ideally made from stuff available during Winter too. Maybe there could be player-made ones, cheaply crafted and filled with an item of choice, and "karma" ones by Nicholas, obtained for being a good child and containing random nicknack?

Or a gift that would kill the guy that opens it with an explosion. Classic. Sure, why not. What items would obtainable from them and how would 'choosing an item' be handled, though?

I guess the player would craft present paper in the colour of their choice, which is a container with one slot and doesn't accept stacks. Once given an item, it can never be opened again without destroying the present. As for game-given presents, I'd say unique items are the way to go. We all know you love to make random stuff, say, a nutsmacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gift falls on a small cute parachute from the sky near a player on one of winter nights or something? xD Game-given gift would be labeled with player's name, and could be opened by only that player maybe?

Good ideas, I agree on all points! We're a good team Now to actually code this... Maybe later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlesienne Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 You could possibly use the concept of Cute Survival Plushies for gifts. That can work in either game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cute, but I'd like 'useful' stuff a bit more. How about a 'sweet' pinecone inside a gift, that grows into a sweet-looking tree? Or a walking cane that is a candy cane?

I'd rather see some reskins here and there, and that gift system sounds pretty good, but new items like plushies just sounds like a waste of inventory space. No offense to Arlesienne <3 It would also be super cool if you reskinned Krampus as Santa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to Arlesienne <3 It would also be super cool if you reskinned Krampus as Santa! Reskin like that would require unpacking Krampus's anims/build, since I'd have to have bigger space to work with. Not everything can be unpacked and packed again without animations breaking, so I can't say that I would be able to make a reskin like this. Krampus sack reskin sounds cool. Not sure how it would be implemented, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what could be really cool about Santa-Krampus? His hissing replaced with bells jingling. Or upon opening the gift you would hear the bells and Krampus would spawn for you. Or Krampus would jump out of the gift in some way? Not too sure... I think I could try making Krampus's reskin without actually extending drawing space. All of this sounds like a TON of work, though!

I know this is a small thing but you might've noticed how the chains on the krampus sack makes a rustling sound when you have it equipped. Well maybe you could replace those with some jingle bells that make a jingling sound when you walk around. I know this is a very small thing, but I'm just a sucker for small details like that. 6 minutes ago, PanAzej said: I think I could try making Krampus's reskin without actually extending drawing space.

This is actually far simpler change than hissing sound. Quote Great!

Arlesienne Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just now, Ninjanemo said: No, please do enlighten me though These plushies I mentioned as a sensible gifts - they drop with a moderate chance from mobs - have various functions. For instance varg plushies increases the chance of getting a varg. Hugging spiders gives one silk every few days. Pigmen plushies befriend pigs. Deerclops increases the chance a visit. There is a lot of them and I use them for Webber, Wendy and Abigail in Project Rosebud. They're not overpowered, just cute and with a little perk. They do make players be more adventurous though. Finally they count as pig king trinkets. My reason to mention them was gifts from drops after doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
