Shellscrew Pack 22.1

Hi! Wow! 2.4 Release Candidate 1!

So here's the thing. There's some new followers. There's also a resprite of tsumugi! you can see them here.

Now, here's the thing. There's probably gonna be at least one, if not a few, mini updates like this coming up. Owing to theres probably several little changes I want to make, and right now it's important to me that my public pack is as up-to-date as it can be

Because of this, I'm not gonna release the split packs for a little while. They'll be back eventually! I also should tell you as a matter of courtesy that you can still find them in the history tab, although I'd rather you didn't host them... I can't stop you, but I would like my publically available work to be with all my fixes and stuff. If you really want one of the minipacks, I guess contact me on discord? And I'll put one together for you.
While I'm at it: This pack is not open assets, but I'm not entirely unwilling to make personalized trimmed versions of the pack for servers that want to host it consistently. If that's you, let me know, and I Maybe! would let you do that

That's all I got. but please bear with me if i need to do more, smaller updates! It could happen! Indeed it probably will happen once i learn how to give the koopalings a custom kart husk

Big update this time! First and foremost: Minipacks! After a year of deliberating over The Individuals Question, I've decided that True individuals are probably never going to be my style, but I do actually care about making my work easier for people to run. So I've included a zip file sorting my characters into 5 groups and followers into their 2 categories, based on their series of origin. There's various reasons for this: general convenience for the user, the fact that my previously combined follower category was about to hit the cap, I don't want to mandate everyone running my characters to have to play 30 hours of THL first. This is POTENTIALLY subject to change if 2.4 introduces some reason that this would become annoying, but in all likelihood this is how it's gonna be going forward.
With that said:
NEW CHARACTERS:
Marcia from Path of Radiance
Agnes Tachyon from Uma Musume
Eito Aotsuki, Whose Default Turnaround Is Normal But Whose Other Traits Spoil The First Playthrough Of Hundred Line, Which Is Why His Minipack Effectively Quarantines Him With Tsumugi. But Like I Don't Think It's That Big A Deal, I Just Want To Be Polite And Stuff

Spoiler: Eito

And two new followers from Bowser's Fury! Giga Cat Bell and Fury Bowser Shell

Also Marcia has a new palette called Wish. It's a LITTLE specific but it should work Fine on basegame characters. Any palettes that aren't associated with a character or follower have been put in the Miscellaneous Characters minipack

As is usually the case for me, this update means I'll be going on break for a while, but it might be Especially long since I have university starting up again. But like. I'll probably be back eventually. I've come back 12 times now lol

FEATURING:
Kevin and Ries from Trails in the Sky 3rd
Robo Mario from Mario Kart Arcade GP
Miku and Teto followers from Animal and Ultra Trailer

AND!!!!! okay so i lost my more detailed update logs so I mightve fixed some other little things but Anelace now definitely has more anti-aliasing on her face. and the back of her outfit is corrected. and she has a facial expression on her lookback. we love anelace

It is probably back on break for me for a little while! But I may return... at some point... at this point I think I am gonna stop trying to predict The End of the pack and just see what happens

Hi!
So, usually I don't like to pepper in the little fixes and cleanups I find over time, I like to drop them alongside a real update unless theres something dire. But I might be taking a break from RR modding soon, and I want to leave the pack in a good state in the meanwhile. So! Here goes
- The darkest outline of tsumugi's kart's wheels used to be recolorable. No longer!
- Many placement icons are now antialiased and some have other tweaks; tsumugi's is outright redone
- casual koopa's minimap icon is redone; mikoto's is a little nicer
- The red pixels on anelace's clothes have been remapped a little, so that she now plays nice with my intentionally over-the-top two-tone palettes
- speaking of:

seven new palettes! I might consider splitting these off into a separate download at some future point, because I am conscious that my pack now has A Lot of palettes, but for now I just want them to be out there and available
That's all for now. Thanks for bearing with me!

In which I realize that I forgot to check the double kart template for the "doesn't have wheelshine on a few states" problem, inherited from the normal asym template. Sorry!!! Also, in making the trailer, I noticed that some of my follower names were lowercase. got to that. I know my thousands of loyal muu kusunoki fans were all dying to see her last name put in the game

It's been a long time!! Here is the list of changes:

New character: Estelle and Joshua!

Several characters have received touchups, but Casual Koopa's are particularly substantial

Three new followers! These are:
- Tsuki, an actual close friend of mine. The outfit is from miitopia
- An Actual Burger I Made
- Crown Flagpole from Special 8-Crown in SM3DL

I have condensed all of my followers into one "MechaKoopa" category!! This should hopefully make my pack easier to host. Please

And various other bits of cleanup! missed pixels of outlines, palette remapping, that sort of thing

This pack is still not over yet! I have obligations to bonuschars to return to after this, and I do want to play Other Things, but this isn't the end. The end of the pack *is* approaching, though! Presently I think its gonna be somewhere between one to four characters left. We'll see!

The Trails in the Sky trilogy is quite good!

- Adds Anelace Elfead and her S-craft follower!

...is the primary thing. But there are a few other changes!

- Casual Koopa is now 3, 7
I decided it was silly of me to keep restatting Literally Myself to be the stats i actually play. I can commit to just being those stats

- You'll notice this is now a lua pack!
Presently, this is only for one thing - if you use 3D models, all of my characters that have models now have custom trick animations thanks to Simpler AnimaL! If you don't play with 3D models, the only change is that tricking left/right will use neutral instead of lookback, on account of how the lua works.

That's all for now! I miiiiight go on another break - I want to get to the Other trails games - but I'm also conscious that I'm closing in on my projected final goal of 17 characters, at which point I'm likely to call the pack completed. So that may happen! at some point!

Adds Profreshional! Stats are 3 Speed, 1 Weight. He also comes with 4 new palettes - Grizzco, Kaiju, Crowned, and Pulse.

This could be it for me for a while! I really wanted to get my main promo image to stop having that one-character-sized hole in it, and now it's filled. I do want to make more 3D models, which you can find here https://mb.srb2.org/addons/c-koopas-3d-models.7847/ , but those are way less commitment and I think I might even want to take a break from that. I don't think this is the end of the pack forever, though! I will be back eventually. Probably. I think. All I'm saying is I'm not putting up the FINAL UPDATE sign just yet

Okay so here's the thing. Let me level with you. I've been working on 3D models for my characters and followers, and I'm just about to release the first batch. You won't see it right away, because it needs to be approved, but it's on the way. Which is cool! However, I beefed it when making one of my very first followers, and it ended up using two freeslots instead of one, which is Really Inconvenient for 3D models! So this update just fixes that. Once the separate 3D model post comes out, I'll link to it! And while I have the opportunity to fix this incredibly minor thing - one of Mikoto's rivals has been changed from Cream to Maria. This one's for you, singular Alouette fan on the SRB2 message boards

Hi!
I'm pretty tired! I have other hobbies id like to try and more university things to handle, and even within ring racers id like to try different things. I've been sitting on the mole knight release for a while for sake of waiting until I have another character, but it's been long enough i'd like him to be out the door. He's animated! That's cool! This is not the end for this pack, but it does mark "I'd like to take a break and not be arbitrarily holding onto my already finished work"

here he is! big fan of mole knight. shovel knights a great game
