Description


Numerous edits and adjustments to the Tech Station Holograms, aimed at improving them. Originally created by enewyn, reuploaded with permission, and now maintained by myself.

As stated above, this was not created by me. This is a reuploaded version of the mod Slightly Improved Tech Station Holograms, which I was given permission to repair. I do not take any credit for this mod or its changes - I am simply here to continue maintaining it, and make sure it does not get overwritten by any other mods. I hope you enjoy!





General Changes:
  • The male and female versions now have more distinguishable silhouettes. (Broader shoulders for males, thinner jawline, waist and arms and broader hips for females).

  • Made the lower leg a bit thinner to make the sprites overall far less clunky and blocky.

  • Facial reconstruction to make females look more like females.

  • Fixed some small continuity errors, like even out the height of the eyes and mouth and the Glitch's visor being black instead of a dark shade of blue.

  • Changed some more very minor things like singular pixels being out of place.

  • Adjusted a few things to my liking.

Apex Changes:
  • Made the "Unibrow" a little less visible and a little less exaggerated for females.

Avian Changes:
  • Changed beak shape and reduced beak size for females.

  • Added some cheek fluff.

  • Made the feathers on the forearms a little smaller for females (I don't really know why I did this either).

Glitch Changes:
  • Tweaked head shape so they look less like robotic mushrooms

  • Made the legs thicker to better fit the rest of the sprites.

  • Fixed a small inconsistency with the distance between the stripes on the legs.

Floran Changes:
  • Actually made a male sprite that differs from the female one. (If my game files are anything to go by then these two were actually the exact same. Not even kidding.)

  • Fixed a small symmetrical error on the leaf covering the chest for females.

  • Changed some of the lines on the arms and legs as well as reducing the size of the leaves on the arms for females. (Again, nothing more to go by than that I thought it looked better).

  • Adjusted the mouths to more closely resemble the wicked Floran grin we all know and "love".

Human Changes:
  • Added mouths. That was it (besides the general changes).

Hylotl Changes:
  • Tinkered around with the mouths a bit to try and get some variety.

  • Changed the number of ribs(?) on the belly to 6. (Once again, I just think it looks nicer).

Novakid Changes:
  • Attempted to combat the overwhelming blandness of the sprites by adding the corresponding gender symbols as brands.

Please be aware that this mod, together with all of it's changes, were modeled after my own liking, so please don't request for me to change this or that or anything. I most likely won't, unless it's some mistake on my part. Have a nice day.

  • enewyn, for creating the original mod and doing all of the spritework. Full credit goes to them - I am only maintaining it.

  • All of you wonderful people who take the time to read these credit sections. I hope you're having a great day.

There aren't any other versions of this mod that I know of, no.
Im pretty sure I made the Floran sprites the way they are because the actual player sprites are visibly distinguishable as male and female (which can I say is just really dumb? I do really like the idea of them being genderless but then why slap breasts on them? It just seems really half assed).

As for the Glitch waist, yeah i don't know whats up with it either. I created this mod almost five years ago now and if i were making this mod today I'd be doing most things very differently

Dang, I've always really liked this mod but there are a few very small tweaks I'd like to make and I have precisely no idea how to do them. I know a *little* about pixel art but actual modding is a complete mystery to me.

Do you know of a version of this mod that includes a Floran sprite that is a retouched version of the original but is the same for both "sexes"? I really like the style of this mod but I also really vibe with the detail that since Floran are genderless, their tech screens are the same no matter what you choose at character creation.

Also, is it just me or does the female glitch waist look... too small? Its a teeny detail but I can't unsee it lol

If you mean it was hard, I can't imagine, since all it took was adding "includes" : ["FrackinUniverse"] to the metadata file

I tried to make a Frackin' Universe version of this one time. You can imagine how that went.

never thought I'd want a slightly smiling floran hologram but here we are. Nice spritework by Santer
