Details: Tired of the one colored pixels? Want more detail in what you are picking up before you pick it up? Excited when you get a rare colored item drop in other games? Well, this mod might be for you.
Tiered Pixel Mod has now switched to a TIER system with the pixels in order to provide a more informative and visible upgrade between the game's existing tiers.
Essentially, each color represents 50 pixels or more.
Here are the color set previews:
Note 2: Plastic set's pink cube looks off. Another example of the scale change messing with the color and how it actually would look in game. It isn't that high of contrast, or at least it isn't noticeable.
Fantasy Set (Previously Light Contrast)
Scale: Gray - Gold - Salmon Red - Sapphire - Violet
Scale: Copper - Silver - Gold - Diamond - Onyx/Obsidian
Plastic Set (Previously Dark Contrast)
Scale: Gray - Yellow - Red - Pink - Purple
Gemstone Set
Scale: Diamond - Jade - Vermilion Topaz - Garnet - Amethyst
Rainbow Set
Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue
Rupee Set (For Legend of Zelda fans)
Scale: Green - Blue - Red - Purple - Orange
Starbound Set (Based on rarity tables)
Borderlands Set (By Battle Bee)
Key Features:
- Adjusted loot tables to accommodate the new colored pixels.
- Objects like capsules now drop the new pixels!
- All of the existing interfaces that use pixel sprites have been updated to be the gray variant of pixel, which serves as the base currency.
What it does NOT do:
-Make each color pixel its own variant of the main currency. They all feed back into the same pixel counter and they all melt down into the same thing. No confusion!
