Sparkle Extended

Description
Note:
Original credit for this goes entirely to egocarib.

I sought out and received permission from them to fork and expand on their mod. If at any point they decide they'd prefer I take the mod down I will do so.

I also do my best to not change vanilla colours or models, to avoid taking too many artistic liberties with the developers' true vision for the game. That being said, I have changed a few colours where it makes sense for lore or consistency sake. I try to do this as little as I can, so forgive me if you're a purist.



This is intended to be a fix and an expansion of ego's original mod. It adds a nice sparkle to rough gems, and now does the same for other items as well!

Over time I'm hoping to expand this simple mod to include all relevant items. If it's shiny it should sparkle!

Current sparkles:
• Rough gemstones!
• Smooth gemstones!
• Gemstone figurines!
• Jeweled sandals!
• Ingots!
• Kaleidocera capes, krakows and muffs!
• Quartzfur cloaks, hats and gloves!
• Quartz Baboons, now just like their ethically-questionable, wearable counterparts!
• Mirrorshades, quartziferous mirrors, their shards, and even pet mirrors*!
(More to come!)


*If you don't have the Unpleasant Mirror pet, the mod will throw a warning into the log. But it's entirely harmless.

Okay, well I'll leave it for now, as this mod only swaps sprites, but if someone else reports the same issue I'll dig deeper. :qudeyes:

Hello, it happened the moment I pressed the number for how many I wanted to sell. Honestly no idea why it was happening. I started a new game and removed this mod and it didn't happen again. So tbh I'm not sure if it was specifically that save, this mod or some weird inter mod compatibility issue.

Strange. I've looked through the mod files and it's built entirely like the others. And nuggets are identical as well. So if one's giving a bug they should be.

All rough gemstones are managed by the same bit of code, so if it's one it's all of them.

I tested this with a spawned merchant and I don't get a CTD. When specifically does it crash for you? When you press a num(row?) button to add a count to the trade? Or after the trade is made (O)?

Its also not happening for things like gold nuggets and silver nuggets or the other trade items.

Also happens to agate & topaz

Yep confirmed. Any number. If I click it and it selects all of them no problem. Its only when selecting and then choosing a number to trade. I imagine the same thing would happen when trading with a chest?

I've got a super weird bug where while trading with a dromad I've tried to select 2 rough jasper gemstones and its CTD. Its also reproducible. So the crash happens when I've got it selected and I press 2 or I think any other number. Instant CTD. Very weird bug.

@Scar yep! I've seen no bugs, but let me know if you find otherwise.

As with previous game versions, you'll get an error dumped into the log about the Unpleasant Mirror pet if you don't have that pet mod enabled. But the error's completely harmless.
