Arsenalbound - Lastree Race Mod - Full Bright Eyes

Description
Don't use this with the "cuter" one.
They both alter the same things.

REMEMBER FUTARADRAGON'S PIXEL FULL BRIGHT SHADER. Use the page's download link and place it in your mod folder.

[NOTE]
This mod replaces the following Lastree-related items,
but only with a bit of an alpha/opacity adjustment:
- emote.png, femalehead.png, malehead.png
- pet and drone images
- most of Luciana's shop images (probably already fully lit and unnecessary, but it's just an alpha adjustment to eye pixels)

This is a quick mod for the Lastree race, to let them have fun with FutaraDragon's Pixel Full Bright Shader mod.

I altered only the alpha value of the iris, the colored part of the eyes (or optics, in the case of drones). Aside from being lit up in the dark while using the shader mod, everything will look exactly the same as usual.





====================
End-of-description reminder in case you missed it, because we all do that sometimes:
Remember, FutaraDragon's shader itself may not work properly just being subscribed to regularly, so download it from its page and put it in your mods folder instead.
====================
If you're interested in doing this sort of thing yourself...
feel free to use an unpacker like PAKit[pakit.ibraheemrodrigues.com] and see what this mod consists of. It's really simple, actually.

For the parts of an image you want to have show up in the dark with the shader mod, the pixels have to be adjusted so their opacity, AKA transparency, is 99.6%, which is equivalent to alpha value 254.

If you want to make color choices glow, the related hex codes(such as FF8000, which would be orange, for people not familiar with this), need to have FE tacked on to the end (so in the case of that hex code, it'd be FF8000FE).

The Fragments of Ruin equivalent of this might be a better choice to examine if you're interested in altering the color choices for a species, and need an example to see how it's done. For that one, I replaced the head images, and also included a .patch file that replaces the color codes.

Thanks very much, it's a wonderful concept and I look forward to seeing it on the cuter eyes.

🤨Interesting. The "cuter" mod covers people who want white sclera, and people who prefer the more original look.

I'll have to make my own altered version of its .species file. It could probably just be a .patch (and maybe I can do that sometime), but as long as this "includes" the original mod, it should override it.

Oh. The "cuter" eyes attempted to keep black sclera while also adjusting things. Alright.

Still, I do have other items.

Alright, I'll make a version that "includes" the Lastree and the cuter mod.🤔 It should replace the head, and add the glowing to objects and pet eyes, but leave everything else.

It might be a little odd if I leave their eyes white, unlike the classic black, so I think they should revert in that part. Also, I edited some extra things in this, so maybe I'll just make my own version.

Would you be open to making a cutebound lastree version?
