Shiny Pal Adventure - Tri

[center]I set out to find a good, up-to-date mod that would retexture Lucky Pals, akin to "shiny hunting". I found [i]three[/i].[/center]
[center]And they all looked fantastic! But, I only [i]needed [/i]one, and it was impossible to choose.[/center]
[center]Then, I saw someone mention that the .jsons for those mods could be edited to use/not use certain textures.[/center]
[center]I started to experiment for personal use, and before long it snowballed into a full blown project.[/center]

[center]Welcome to Shiny Pal Adventure![/center]
[center]-[/center]
[center]Please note the installation requirements! While this page may be flashy, this 'mod' doesn't actually do much on it's own.[/center]
[center]It simply mixes and matches the absolute [i]best [/i]textures from each of the required mods using some .json trickery.[/center]
[center]-[/center]

[center]A few screenshots are available here on the mod page to highlight some of my favorites.[/center]
[center]For full documentation of every Pal available with this project, click [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XgjRCGB03BFKOTNFowwcL_PYdl-_0AF3fSp8t6x9QOk/][here][/url] ![/center]
[center]Each screenshot is accompanied by an explanation of what textures were used for that Pal, and from which mod.[/center]
[center]-[/center]
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/eCczCG0.png[/img][/center]
[center]This [i]should [/i]be compatible with [i]most [/i]simple .pak recolors that target specific non-Lucky Pals.[/center]
[center](The Lucky Pals should still spawn as their shiny counterparts.)[/center]
[center]If you [i]do [/i]notice an incompatibility with one of these .pak mods, it is most likely due to that mods author changing the[/center]
[center]names of the file paths within their mod, and is something that should be mentioned to them, not reported here.[/center]
[center][/center]
[center]Since this 'mod' only changes some .jsons, any additional compatibility is dependent[/center]
[center]upon the required mods, primarily Altermatic, UniPal, and UE4SS.[/center]

Every pal that carries the "Lucky" passive should now spawn with it's cool new shiny skin!
This applies to both wild pals as well as those bred down with the "Lucky" passive.[/center]

Absolutely NO AI was used in this project whatsoever.
Each and every texture combination was coded and tested one by one![/center]

[center]as well as in the documentation provided in the 'screenshots' section above.[/center]
[center][/center]
[center]Absolutely NO textures are being redistributed, and none of them have been edited directly.[/center]
[center]Any 'new' recolors offered by Shiny Pal Adventure are created by manipulating which materials Altermatic loads via .json.[/center]
