Raph's Character Pack R3.1 - Blake, Lyrin, Ness & Vaquero

- Updated the BikeMod script to latest version.

The file download has been overhauled once again: RCP is now split into "Main" and "Lite" editions: The "Main" edition contains both the BikeMod script itself and Gemma's support script [containing BikeMod.AddBike()] while the "Lite" edition only includes the latter, for those who wish to have RCP and BikeMod loaded separately and as a futureproofing measure for future updates to BikeMod. Due to the SRB2MB's attachment limit and realizing how redundant it is, I am no longer attaching standalone packs of StarChars and IwaflorChars.

After like, a year-ish of work and procrastination, I'm proud to announce that RCP R3 is finally here!
We got some resprites as well as new racers!

First off, let's start with the resprites:

Here's uhh... "myself". My sona, Raph the Bird, got a complete redesign to reflect my current PFP. I also re-recorded my voice lines of "myself", too.

Gemma got herself a new look now based on her new look in SRB2. She got herself a new bike, made entirely from scratch rather than being based on minenice's bike template. She also now utilizes RetroStation's BikeMod code, so you'll also notice some differences in controls to make her control more like a bike.

Not only Zella got a new fresh coat of paint based on how I draw her nowadays, She also has her stats changed up as well. Her weight, originally 7, has been bumped up to 8, to emphasize her being a "tough lass" Her voice has also been changed as well, no longer using Feli's (Puyo Puyo Tetris) voice clips and instead uses Neera's (Freedom Planet series), to emphasize her being more of a stoic, serious person.

Frostiikin's Gale the Snow Leopard's spritework is now based on her still-in-progress/paused SRB2 counterpart. No changes in stats or even voice.

Starlight's Willo has been redesigned completely, now based on his current design. his voice has been changed from from Killua (HunterXHunter) to Naota (FLCL).

With the resprites out of the way, Let's look at the new racers!

Blake the Tamaraw
Gemma's childhood friend/best friend/totally not boyfriend who possesses umbrakinetic powers, allowing him to conjure apparitions of animals out of darkness.

Lyrin the Squirrel
Gemma's tag-along "science pal" born paralyzed/crippled from waist down, She possesses a high IQ and a knack for technology. She wears a robotic pair of leggings she created to circumvent her inability to walk by herself.

Ness the Frog
by Starlight
Willo's froggy friend.

Vaquero the Rabbit
by LonelyFoxz
A grey cowboy rabbit of the Maple county.

One other change is that Logan8r's Flame the Dragon has her skin name simplified from "flamethedragon" to just "flame" as nobody seems to have claimed the name yet according to the Chart of Characters.

Besides that, that's all this update has!

This will be the final release of Raph's Character Pack specifically for SRB2Kart v1.x, as the inevitable takeover of a certain egg-shaped man is upon us...

I hope you enjoy this update as much as we did making it, and thank you for sticking around.

See ya in Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers Dr. Eggman's Mega Drivers, I guess.
I BELIEVE IN JAPANESE SEGASONIC SUPREMACY!!!

Hey, ya'll. been a while (in the Kart side, anyway).

With SRB2Kart's incoming 4th anniversary this month, I thought now's the time to show y'all a few previews, details of current progress and other plans for the upcoming Release 3 of Raph's Character Pack:

Gemma has been completely remade from scratch, now based on her current "v2" look in SRB2, featuring an entirely new bike also sprited from scratch, now moving away from minenice's (rather dated) bike template. She also now sports a different hairstyle from her vanilla SRB2 counterpart, as a sort of a "futureproofing" measure for the upcoming formerly-SRB2Kart-v2-now-a-separate-sequel Dr. Robotnik's Eggman's Ring Racers (excuse my Japanese Sonic purist side) as it will feature a ChrispyChars-esque "neck" component of sorts that allows racers to turn their heads. I thought Gemma's usual "braid" hairstyle would clash with it unless I make the braid into a separate follow item or something, so I decided to change her hairstyle exclusively for Kart and the upcoming Ring Racers. Yeah, her tail is already getting in the way as seen in her A5 sprites, but honestly, her tail is probably gonna be the only "follow item" she will have in the future. Her stats and voice will remain unchanged.

Starlight's Willo has also gotten a resprite, now based on his current design. His voice will also be replaced with the voice of Naota from FLCL. Outside of that, his stats will remain unchanged.

A resprite of Frostiikin's Gale is also in progress. Frostiikin is also thinking of replacing her voice clips, as she felt that Sash Lilac's voice doesn't really fit her very well, but nothing is set in stone yet, so she may keep this voice for a while. Outside of that, there will be no changes in stats.

I'm also planning to resprite Zella, as well as my sona, Raph the Bird, as it no longer reflects my current PFP since I redesigned him in early 2022.

Other than those 5 resprites, 4 more new racers will also be added, 2 of mine, and 2, once again, from my friends. You'll find out who they will be soon, maybe.

Anyways, that's all from me, I guess.
