Slugcats as a Species

[Erisfiregamer1]

Description

I've wanted to add Slugcats as a species for a while now. I found myself unable to sleep one night and hastily coded this proof of concept. Please don't merge this for the love of god it is coded terribly.

Why did I pull request this? Mostly just having a record to rant about nonsense I encounter while coding it without clogging up the Discord. I guess you could also review it to maybe help me code less shit.

Credits to Floof for the sounds, sprites, etc as they were all taken from them so I could make something remotely functional.

if you're going to force commit this like everything else at least add back roundstart skeleton first

i dont see any major issues with this so if you could take a review at it and check how badly coded it is that would be Very Nice

Any species unique actions or specialties? Also wouldn't they be entirely mute as shown in rainworld?

From what little we know, they can make SOME vocalizations, so I just locked them to a language only they understand.

As for species unique actions, I haven't thought of anything specific yet. At the moment they are simply a hard-mode species by default, dying far easier to most things.

Still a few outlying yaml issues

no clue what integration tests are saying though.

.wav files for the wawa_exclaim.wav wawa_question.wav and wawa_statement.wav should be converted to .ogg format

Alright, found the issue... It's breaking the usual format of going into species/parts.rsi as it doesn't have the location.


While it normally looks as

So the scug probably needs to be seperated into parts and stitched together properly, else the shitmed won't work either and the said scug will have no hands/legs.

Alternativelly becoming simplemob.

This was hacked up within 24 hours and I wasn't able to sprite anything (and I am Absolute Shit at spriting anyway). Once I sprite it I'll add the proper files.

These really shouldn't be roundstart, especially when their main feature is "Oni melee but only spears" they fit much better as a kobold/monkey alternative. If you really want you could make a pun pun style ghost role for cargo or something. You should also try to just use monkey displacement maps for slugcats, it would probably work.

Yeah no I did not intend them to be roundstarts. They're only roundstart for testing.

That is also true, I just found it easier to make them a species (and funnier)

If this is even considered to be merged, maybe.

Already do.

Each day I look at this PR. Really looking forward to it.

While they aren't coming as a (roundstart) species, I could probably add them as a base mob :)
