Lobotomy Trials

DISCLAIMER

This modification provides absolutely no in-game advantages. It is not a cheat or some cunning macro. The mod does not affect the balance in any way, does not break mechanics, does not allow seeing through walls, and so on. The mod was created purely for fun and conceptually gives no advantage, as the whole point of the mod is customizing already existing files: changing colors, textures, text, etc.

Furthermore, I want to emphasize that no one is forcing you to install this. If you want to, install it, but it will be strictly your decision. You lose absolutely nothing if you decide to play without this mod. This guide is written purely for those who want to have a laugh at silly things. Everything is entirely voluntary and done only at your discretion. You won't be banned for the mod, of course, but anyway, keep this in mind.

Moreover, the mod does not aim to offend anyone. Any teasing of "personalities" in the game, etc., is a joke and carries no negative context, and any coincidences, as they say, are accidental.

The guide itself contains a brief overview of the mod, as well as an installation guide (and an uninstallation guide).

TEXTURE CHANGES

Actually, the whole mod started with me just wanting to change the poster textures, and then things escalated. So, we'll mention that first. In general, the mod was planned to be much more massive, including the localization of assets into different languages, but given the lack of free time and more important matters, unfortunately, I am releasing a raw version for now (meaning without massive changes, without 3D model changes, and so on).

POSTER TEXTURES

Almost all posters (except for the 3 basic ones, probably) have been changed. Instead, various memes are now depicted.

There is a total of 15 such posters in the game (3 for each asset). They have all been changed to a unique meme.

PRIME ASSET TEXTURES

I also added a couple of details to the main assets. True, so far only to Gooseberry and Coyle, as this is a temporary solution since, again, a 3D model replacement was originally planned.

GOOSEBERRY

Gooseberry received smiley faces on both sides of her shirt. Well, to keep things positive.

COYLE

Coyle was dressed in a gay British uniform. The rest of the details remained unchanged. For now.

EFFECT CHANGES

ADRENALINE CHANGES

Adrenaline is now prettier. Literally. It is now pink. Don't ask why. But actually, it looks quite beautiful in the game. It personally hooked me, even though I didn't expect it to.

EXHAUSTION CHANGES

It's the same thing, just repainted pink, identically to adrenaline.

In general, as said above, I did this purely for fun and didn't expect to get so hooked on it. After an update, I rolled back the mod and, unfortunately, regular adrenaline literally made me sick. Well, anyway, this is a matter of taste, so decide for yourself.

HUD CHANGES

MAIN GAME SCREEN

Well, if Lev did change the game icon, he did it quickly, without pleasure, purely for the sake of having it.

Overall, it looks cool, though due to its size, it takes a little while to load (about a second). But I didn't think about optimization, so I didn't compress the image. I might do that later.

MENU BACKGROUND

The player background on TAB was also changed to pink. It's the main theme of the mod, after all.

TRIAL ARTS

Well, I also tinkered with them quickly. All the text on the main location arts (in the same TAB screen) was changed from English to Russian, in accordance with the joke localization (which is mentioned below).

The only thing is that I messed up in some places with the font selection, but I am not going to kill a ton of time searching for the right one or drawing the font/inscription by hand (because I'm not a fool), so it is what it is. It looks decent enough, especially in the game, which means it's fucking awesome.

JOKE LOCALIZATION

RUSSIAN

Most of the inscriptions in the game were replaced or minimally altered (around 7k out of a total of 10k).

This also includes objectives for many tasks (both MK and trials), as well as many side quests, text chat messages (on the left of your screen), item names, and even some signs and TVs (their changes are especially visible in the break room). Basic buttons, accordingly, also received joke localization. I don't promise that you will like it, as there are a lot of inside memes, but nevertheless. And, just in case, I remind you that this is all at your discretion. If anything, there are different versions of the mod available on Nexus Mods / Google Drive; they will be discussed slightl
