RTCGO Holographics

✦ RTCGO Holographics ✦

Real holo cards for TCG Card Shop Simulator — shine that moves, bends and glows in each card's own colours.

◆ What is this?

RTCGO Holographics brings real holographic foil to your cards. Tilt a card in your hand, flip through your binder or pick a card up for a close look, and a band of light sweeps across the foil — bending, rippling and warping with the card's angle, exactly like a real holo catching the light.

The shine is built from each card's own artwork. A Charizard glows in reds and golds, a Gyarados in deep blues, a Golbat in greens — no white overlay, no one-size-fits-all rainbow. The effect only touches the holo area of the card, so the Pokémon art stays crisp and clean.

◆ Features

• []Moving shine band — a broad, soft band of light with a bright core that travels, rotates and bends as the card tilts. It never slides off the card.[/]

  []Own-colour holo — boosts brightness, saturation and punch using the card's own colours, for a vivid foil look.[/]

  []Works in every view — cards in your hand, on shelves and tables, on binder pages, and in the binder's 3D close-up view.[/]

  []Look-around motion — the card in your hand reacts as you look around the room, and stays where you leave it.[/]

  []Per-view tuning — set where the shine rests and which way it moves for each view.[/]

  []Per-card control — every setting can be changed for a single card in its own Settings.txt, or for all cards at once in GlobalDefaults.txt.[/]

  []Live editing — save a settings file and the cards on screen update instantly. No restart needed.[/]

  []Built for performance — foil textures stream in when a card is shown and unload when it isn't, instead of all loading at startup.[/]

  ◆ Requirements

  • []BepInEx 5[/]

    []Enhanced Prefab Loader (EPL) and EPL API[/]

    []Holo card packs made for RTCGO Holographics (e.g. the Real TCG Overhaul sets)[/]

    ⚠ Not compatible with Holographic Overhaul. Both mods take over the same card foil layers — please remove Holographic Overhaul before installing this one.

    • []Install BepInEx 5, Enhanced Prefab Loader and the EPL API.[/]

      []Extract this mod into BepInEx/plugins/.[/]

      ◆ Customising

      Every card reads its settings in this order:

      • []The card's own Settings.txt[/]

        []GlobalDefaults.txt[/]

        []The mod's built-in defaults[/]

        So to change one card, add only the lines you want to its Settings.txt:

        BandBoost=8. 0

        GlimmerColor=255,220,160

        CloseUpY=0. 1

        Setting reference

        • []HoloSlot — which foil layer the effect is drawn on (3 = art box, most holos)[/]

          []FoilStrength — 0 = original art, 1 = full effect[/]

          []FoilShine — per-card brightness multiplier (0. 6 = normal)[/]

          []UseGlimmer — turn the shine band on/off[/]

          []GlimmerColor — tint the light (R,G,B). 255,255,255 = the card's own colours[/]
