Aqua's Dice Pack v5.0 - Slime Time

Update v5.0 of Aqua's Dice Pack is here.
It's slime time. Sorry folks!
This is a smaller update that only includes two new characters, but on the other hand, it includes a lot of polish that I wanted to include from v4! You could think of it as an extension of sorts.

New Characters
This update only adds two new characters, but you may get a kick out of them!

• Added Friv.
  • His rivals are Diggle, Redwood and Fav.
  • He is in Class B; his stats are speed 4, weight 3.
  • A lua script is bundled with him that causes him to spin when dying; this is a nod to a certain series...
• Added Gooey from the Kirby series.
  • This is a commission from Galactice! Thank you!
  • His rivals are Chuchu, Big and Flicky.
  • He is in Class B; his stats are speed 4, weight 2.
  • A lua script is attached that makes him spin while dying, along with playing an appropriate noise when doing so.

Changes
While this update might not have any newer characters, there's quite a few changes in store!

• Placement (XTRA) icons have been tweaked because they've been bothering me personally. All of them have been tweaked, but to name them all...
  • The Dark Prince
  • Tangle
  • Shahra
  • Ringo Ando
  • Astro
  • Lilac
  • Johnny
  • Minty
  • Mimic
  • Gunvolt
  • To help illustrate this, a comparison gif has been provided.

• New dialogue portraits for Ringo Ando have been added.
• The Dark Prince's signpost has been resprited. Check out his new flare!
• Certain characters have been patched to remove stray pixels, along with adjusted drifting frames. These include:
  • The Dark Prince
  • Lilac
  • Johnny
  • Gunvolt
• One of Astro's rivals has been changed. (Sora -> Sackboy)
• Other changes include...
  • Forgot to include Lilac's portraits in her individual file. Sorry about that!
  • Unused content has been removed.
  • DiceMisc has been merged into DiceCompanions. This is due to an issue within the game currently that causes the game to hang if more than 32 categories are present.

Other notes
This might not be what people were expecting, but don't you worry! More is in store for the future... Think you can piece together who's who?

• An agent yearning for the surface
• A girl trying to recover her diamond
• A boy involved in a murder case
• A very impatient rival
• A human in a world full of demons

Okay, that's all. Go nuts!

Update v4a of Aqua's Dice Pack is here.
I knew I missed something important.

Changes

• Fixed a regression in Mimic's code that affected Heavy Magician instead of him.
• This was fixed in 3.2a, but I guess something must've happened when I was developing v4 that I didn't notice the code going back to its previous self.

That's all! The individuals aren't affected, so continue using them as much as you want.
An individual download for the main character pack has also been attached since I forgot to do that.

Update v4 of Aqua's Dice Pack is here.
This update does not contain everything I wanted to do for this update, but I've held onto it for long enough... Have fun, everyone!

New Characters
Several new characters make their debut!

• Added Tangle from the Sonic IDW comics.
  • Her rivals are Lanolin, Mimic and Whisper.
  • She is in Class A; her stats are speed 3, weight 1.
• Added Shahra from Sonic and the Secret Rings.
  • Her rivals are Sonic, Ring, and the Erazor Djinn.
  • She is in Class A; her stats are speed 2, weight 3.
• Added Ringo Ando from Puyo Puyo 7.
  • Her rivals are Tee, Arle and the Dark Prince.
  • She is in Class D; her stats are speed 2, weight 4.
• Added Astro from the Astro Bot series.
  • His rivals are Aigis, Sora and Parappa.
  • He is in Class D; his stats are speed 1, weight 6.

New Followers
New followers also appear, along with a restructure on how they're sorted! Companions are based on things such as iconic characters. ...The miscellaneous section is not.
Companions:

• Navi (The Legend of Zelda)
  • Simple, but cute! Goes "Watch out!" whenever you look back!
• Puubot (Puyo Puyo)
  • Coming from Puyo Puyo Quest, this cutesy companion can give you a hand during your spacetime investigations!
• The Helirin (The Kururin series)
  • Watch out, it's fragile! Kururin communicates with you whenever you hit someone, but it starts to break when you get hit!

Misc.:

• Adam Lyon
  • im sorry
• Stawberry
  • A commission from Cole! also sorry

Alt Voices
Alt voices are new to V4, with certain characters having them. Upon loading the extra file, these voices will be applied and used by the characters!

• Added Ringo Ando's alt voice.
• Added the Dark Prince's alt voice. (Thanks, AJ!)

Changes

• Existing portraits for the cast have been replaced with newer ones, rather than being edits of their signpost art. These include:
  • Minty
  • Lilac
• Certain working designs have been resprited. These include:
  • Minty
• Certain characters have been patched to remove stray pixels, along with adjusted drifting frames. These include:
  • Minty
  • Mimic
• It is worth noting that there will be updates in the future to patch out the other stray pixels along with adjusting existing characters' drift frames. I wish to complete the other portrait sets as well; I just don't have it in me at the moment to do so.
• Dice Followers has been merged into Dice Pack as of V4. The original page for the follower pack will be retired.
• The internal naming scheme of the followers has changed to include a AQ acronym representing the pack. This is an attempt to help avoid the chances of a conflict occurring.

Other notes
The lua-less version of Dice Pack / Mimic is being discontinued. There's a few reasons why this existed in the first place, but it's nothing really that big to talk about here.
While the original Dice Followers page will be retired, this does not mean that a download for only the followers will no longer be available. Dice Followers will still continue to be updated, but the download for it will be offered here rather than the old page. The main Dice Pack file now loads both the followers and the characters together; if you want one or the other, you can simply choose to download the individual files instead.

And, finally...
I genuinely cannot thank all of you enough from the bottom of my heart. I've always wanted to make something that people enjoy, and I suppose I've hit it with this. Even with all of the hardships and some of the begging and "Where's Tangle?", I'm happy to be able to present this for everyone to have fun with.

Thank you all, and please have fun with V4! - Aqua

...P.S.: Thank you to you all at Kart Krew as well. Ring Racers was something I looked forward to for years and it probably has become my favorite racing game, period. You guys ROCK!

when i updated the script i forgot to change the check from heavy magician to mimic

as a result heavy magician didnt have a box while mimic did

i love coding



if i missed another thing i will be so disappointed in myself

Update v3.2 of Aqua's Dice Pack is here.
An update is not necessary, but prevents potential warnings from showing up in the console when playing with other IRONMAN characters that use Mimic's script. (I also thought I might as well push this out now instead of putting it off for v4.)
As such, only the Lua file is labeled as v3.2.
Fixes

• Updated Mimic's transformation script.
  • Script version is now 1.1. Now checks to see if the mobj is valid before running the script.

That's all!

...While this might have not been much, I do hope you look forward to v4. There's some interesting stuff on the table.

Misc.

• Removed the .bak file that was present in the Extras folder in the individual download.
  • This was me making a duplicate of the Lua Mimic file and removing the Lua from it. I somehow didn't see that there was a .bak file leftover.

Since this is an extremely minor update, a file update isn't really needed except for the individual download. Sorry! Hope everyone's been having fun.
its 3:30 am i should've released this at a time where i would've had more time to make sure stuff's correct

Update v3.1 of Aqua's Dice Pack is here.
Fixes

• Fixed Lilac's death sprite not having gloves. (Oops!)

That's all!

Update v3.0 of Aqua's Dice Pack is here.
Additions

• Mimic has been added to the pack!
  • Has a prefix of AQMC and a skin name of mimic.
  • He is an ironman character meaning he shares the same gimmick as Heavy Magician! When racing as him, he'll transform into other faces.
    • In the Lua version of this mod, there is a script that removes the Heavy Magician box from him to make the transformation more immersive.
    • There is also a patch file included if you wish to patch out his gimmick. (His stats are 5, 5 otherwise.)
• Lilac has been added to the pack! (Thank you for commissioning me!)
  • Has a prefix of AQLI and a skin name of lilac.
• The Dark Prince has been added to the pack! (Thank you for commissioning me!)
  • Has a prefix of AQSA and a skin name of satan. (lol)

Have fun with this! I tried to work hard on this update.

Update v2.0 of Aqua's Dice Pack is here.
Additions

• Gunvolt has been added to the pack! (Thank you for commissioning me!)
  • Has a prefix of AQGV and a skin name of gunvolt.

Fixes

• Fixed sprite inconsistencies with Minty.
  • When modifying the template, I forgot to account that multiple frames use the steering sprites rather than just the standard we're all familiar with. This fixes that.
• Updated Johnny's anti-aliasing on his portraits.

Have fun with this!

Minty's properties.txt file is modified specifically for her. I forgot to account for the signpost... Meaning her signpost was her on a kart.

This update should fix that, LOL
