Original Mod: Darce's Drifters

 

Hate getting one-shotted by those tiny drifters because their coats are slighty different colors? This mod fixes that!

Darce's Drifter's Redone is a rework of Darce's Drifters, overhauling the textures and animations of the original models, as well as many unique animations including completely new ones for compatibility with Gerste's Cats!

Special thanks to Darce for giving me permission to upload this mod and its original models, and to Tenth Architect for getting me into VSMC and hopefully using this as a jumping off point for future projects.

Changes:

 

  • Overhauls the appearance of all Drifters, making them more distinct and recognizable in combat. Hitboxes are accordingly scaled.
  • Retains Combat Overhaul compatiblity patch from the original mod.
  • Tweaks of Darce's animations for added detail, such as a noticable wobble and swing to the double-headed drifter's heads, and some other minor details to others.
  • New and unique worship animations for Gerste's Cats fitting the appearance of each drifter.
  • Texture changes: Texture anomalies have been patched, and color palletes have been switched closer to shivers and bowtorns. More naturally rusty with more dirty colors. Additionally, drifters now have hanging skin from their head and abdomen.

 

Changelog:

 

1.2.0 (Drifters Redone):

  • Hanging flax skin from the head and abdomen of all drifters, similar to shivers/bowtorns.
  • Surface drifter variants are now given shiver inspired color schemes (Vanilla grey tone, sickly skin tone, and dark rotten tone)
  • More metal spikes and spines for aesthetic synergy with shiver/bowtorns. Deep drifters are closer to recent concept art. Spines are returned to the nightmare difters.

 

1.1.1:

  • Fixed missing attack animations for the corrupt and double headed drifter for Combat Overhaul players.
  • New chomp attack animation for the double headed drifter (Combat Overhaul)

 

1.1.0:

  • Altered textures to better match the color pallete of shivers and bowtorns. Less saturated, more natural, dirty and "colorful".
  • Visual rework of the tainted and double-headed drifter. The tainted drifter has a bludgeon hand that swings back and forth, and the double headed drifter is a bit more menacing now.
  • Some UV fixes and alternate textures for deep and tainted drifters.

Known Issues:

 

  • Unscaled hitboxes for crawling drifters; they still have the 1x1 hitbox from default drifters. Because this cannot be patched through JSON, I can't do anything about this until someone with knowledge of coding offers a solution.

merryclefairy I'm aware of it, it was an issue with the original mod, but it has never caused any trouble i'm aware of so I never bothered to investigate it. I'll check to see what exactly is causing it

hello, i noticed this happening in console log just briefly so there may be other creatures affected:

General_JOE I keep forgetting about combat overhaul lmao. Will be a quick fix, expect the update in like one minute

💬 General_JOE, Jun 20th at 5:23 AM

I think that the new surface drifters are also lacking animations in combat overhaul haha

💬 LunaGore, Jun 12th at 5:09 PM

I catch myself shouting "Ayo what the fuck!" a lot, thanks :)

💬 Xozkov , Jun 12th at 7:04 AM

General_JOE Got it! Original mod didn't have the combat overhaul StandAttackSlash and StandAttackPunch. I added both, and gave the double headed drifter a chomp attack animation for attackSlash.

💬 General_JOE, Jun 11th at 10:35 PM

Testing with the new update rn and it seems like the attack animations (except rock throwing) for the corrupted and double headed drifters are not working. They just kinda stand there and hit you magically lol

Playing with combat overhaul, just to be clear

Toothbrush Do you have any more info? That seems strange but maybe there's an error somewhere

💬 Toothbrush, Jun 10th at 12:54 PM

Works on a solo world but makes game crash if on server.

💬 Xozkov , Jun 10th at 9:11 AM

Mokkel I'll check, but my partner and I just got off our world a few hours ago and it was working just fine. Can you tell me what mods you have? It's possible one of them might have some sort of conflicting patch that isn't on their mod page (edit: I can confirm it works on my end. Send me a client or server log if you can)

 

MarsTrimis I haven't heard of that one but if it only affects sounds, then it def should be. This mod only touches textures/shapes/hitboxes (edit: can confirm it works!)

 

JessBonklet Thank you!!

💬 Mokkel, Jun 10th at 6:05 AM

I can't seem to get this to work for 1.20.12 - not using any other mods that would affect drifters:)

💬 MarsTrimis, Jun 10th at 2:15 AM

is this compitble with scarier drifter sounds? 

💬 JessBonklet, Jun 9th at 11:25 AM

Great mod! 10/10
