evan_online's Booster Content Pass 3.1

A new follower, the 4Kids Flag, has been added to the Guests category.

It's been a while! I've been working diligently on new stuff for a few months. To folks who play on my server, The House of Cream's Mom, none of this stuff is new. But I haven't done an official, final release in months, partially because I was hoping to finish a few more things. But I'm stalling out a bit, and I need a break! (And frankly, I was starting to have trouble remembering what I've released or not!)

WAVE 3 CHANGELOG

* New characters!
* Sparcky
This new animal friend is a tribute to my own beloved dog, Sparky, who passed away in July.
* Reni Milchstrasse
The winner of my character poll tournament on Bluesky, Sakura's stoic teammate joins the race!
* Tulip.dmg
Tulip the Cat's personal computer assistant might seem scary, but in truth, they're a total sweetiepasta.
* Lem Korplog
From the Sega-published Planet 51: The Game comes Lem Korplog - the undisputed loser of my character poll tournament on Bluesky! Haha, that's so cool!

* New followers!
* Ducky Boat (Beta category)
Your Chao would have loved this thing!
* Hip Hedgehog (Guest category)
Your brother would have loved this thing!

* Funky Dancefloor has recieved a layout overhaul to better accomodate the new mechanics of 2.4! New staff ghosts are now available.
* Individual file updated to V2.

* Evan the Fox has been cleaned up and their sprites now use outlining that is closer to the base game roster's art style. The character has also been updated to use the built in custom gibs support added in the 2.4 update, removing the need for lua present in previous releases.
*Individual file updated to V2.

* Columns III Guy's sprites have been cleaned up to use outlining that is closer to the base game roster's art style, and he now has custom gibs.
*Individual file updated to V2.

* Tulip the Cat's default color is now Pomegranate.
* Individual file updated to V1.2.

* Slight update to Pizza Stage Live sprites.
* Individual file updated to V1.3.

THANKS TO:

* KellyGoblin for support & assistance on Reni's sprites
* Jill Katze for providing ripped voice assets from Sakura Taisen Columns II for Reni
* platinumtulip for assistance with Tulip.dmg's voice lines, and for being Tulip
* BIGFAKE for ripping the voice assets from Planet 51: The Game

* The staff ghost suppliers: casual koopa, platinumtulip

See you in 2026! (The trailer might give you a taste of what I still have in the works...)

With the reveal of the 2.4 Release Candidate, there are now two downloads: the previous 2.3 version is still available, but a 2.4 compatible release is also now available! This adds checkpoints, a KKD Medal, and a new Time Attack spawnpoint to Funky Dancefloor Zone. (The individual file for Funky Dancefloor is also updated.)

The previous incompatible staff ghosts are removed and have been replaced with a single new one - but the dancefloor will someday be filled up again...! I am expecting some proper design changes to happen to this track based on how 2.4 feels, but there are some other things I'm working on first.

(After the proper release of 2.4, there will only be one release. The reason I'm doing it like this is because the Time Attack spawn significantly alters things, but the track kind of sucks to TA on if it isn't changed...)

REALLY fixed the casing on Tulip's name now in the collected pk3 after a regression in the last update. (It was still fixed in the individual file.)

Fixed a regression to Evan the Fox's previous rivals list before the Tulip update.

From T.01 to T.1 as the version number! T.01 was just a small bugfix so it was a smaller decimal, but this adds a new feature so it's a full T.1!

...No one's going to get that. This is Version T.2.

• Tulip the Cat's name and realname were reversed; this meant that when racing against a CPU Tulip, their name wasn't properly capitalized! This is now fixed.
• Evan the Fox now has a lua script - their glasses now serve as a gib upon death instead of being attached to the death sprite, courtesy of FAVman33's gibs script.

• Removed duplicates of Pizza Stage Live sprites that were harmless but causing the addon to load with errors.
• Added the new Tulip staff ghost to the individual file for Funky Dancefloor.

Version... T?! That's right, T for Tulip the Cat! Not a full-fledged new wave of content, but just one new character and some fixes!

NEW
* Tulip the Cat (my friend platinumtulip's Sonic sona) joins the race!

Funky Dancefloor

• Tulip's REAL staff ghost has hit the dancefloor!*
• Added a few extra item boxes in the opening stretch to allow more players to get items.
• Added Terrain file to exclude a few sign textures from Encore remapping.
• Fixed minor texture errors.

Columns III Guy

• Fixed turning sprites so that they are properly asymmetrical.
• Made his large icon face to the right like everyone else's, instead of left.
• Updated XTRAC0 to bring it in line with other characters.

Sca-Kuma

• Fixed Sca-Kuma's feet layering weird with the kart.
• Updated XTRAC0 to bring it in line with other characters.

Evan

• Changed rivals.
• Changed neutral sprites to remove mouth, bringing the appearance more in line with base game characters.
• Slight change to XTRAC0 to bring it in line with other characters.

Pizza Stage Live

• Changed speed of hitconfirm animation.

* Due to an oversight, the staff ghost has only been updated in the collected pk3 and not in the individual file. This will be addressed in a later update.

At some point the Encore palette for Funky Dancefloor broke and it took me all this time to notice.

Also fixed a glaring misaligned texture in the starting area... oops.

I am so sorry to hotfix AGAIN but I don't have any further updates planned at the moment and thus I don't know when I'd fix this.

It was pointed out to me that the box for Sca-Kuma's portrait isn't properly closed and this would have BUGGED ME AND HAUNTED ME IF I DIDN'T FIX IT IMMEDIATELY. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
