Zaero's Monster Pack

Custom enemy models that can be used to diversify your enemies more than normally possible! These enemies originate from "Eclipse," "Fatal Experiment 2," "Solo Trials," and "Redemption" if you would like to experience their originally intended use. Otherwise, use them as you please.

Note: these models do not come with the special abilities the enemies are intended to use. Those need to be set up in EnemyData and/or EEC.

Current available models: "Brawler," "Giant Brawler," "Bleeders", "Grapplers," a tank variant, "Crystalline," "Bloody Mass & Infestation," and "Withered"

Current available textures: "Withered" (mtr_NesterR7), "Afflicted" (mtr_AfflictedR7), "Hallowed" (mtr_Hallowed), "Bleeder" (mtr_strikerflesh), and "Infested" (InfestedA, InfestedB, InfestedC)

Important Notes:

• Brawlers: You will need to set the head scale to 0.1 or less as this model has an entirely custom head model. The head is considered a "weakspot." Recommended to use on the "Striker_CB" model due to limitations in color variance.

• Bleeders: No changes are needed to your enemy model, but the claws and spikes have a bloody texture, so it is recommended to use EEC to override the enemy's material to ""mtr_StrikerFlesh"," for the best results. This material is included in this asset bundle pack.

• Grapplers: The size of the tentacle VFX are static and can not be changed in game, so you will need to resize the enemy using "SizeRange" for the best results. The VFX are also designed to match the color scheme of the "birther" texture which would need to be set up with EEC.

• Bloody Mass: The VFX have the same restrictions as grapplers so you need to adjust the enemy SizeRange. This enemy is intended to be used with EEC's "FullyInvisible" feature or it will also have a normal enemy model and look stupid. I recommend checking the Custom/Model.json and EnemySFX from Redemption if you wish to use the original version of these enemies.

• Tank Variant: You can only change the tank's textures if you use EEC due to this being a model customization, otherwise the main tank texture will be the default vanilla one. This customization only affects the weakspots.

• Crystalline & Withered: I have not tested these on the Shadow Striker, Birther, Tank, or Pouncer models. I don't see why they wouldn't work. They have been tested to work on Striker, Shooter, Charger, and Hybrid models. Both are intended to be used with EEC to change the skin texture to "MWP_Crystal" for Crystalline and "mtr_NesterR7" for Withered.

• Crystalline "spikes" act as an armor hitbox. You can edit this in EnemyBalancing and set the armor multiplier to whatever you want.

Recomended "SizeRange": Grappler 1.2 to 1.4, Big Grappler 1.8 to 2, King Grappler 2.2, Emperor Grappler 2.4, Bloody Mass 1.25 to 1.35, Bloody Infestation 2.4, Hallowed & Hallowed B 1.4, Hallowed C 2.0

Custom Texture Setup

Texture set up requires EEC's Model.JSON. These can be applied to any model. "From" is the original texture. You'll need to fill in the original yourself. The "To" will be the custom texture. Below is an example.

    {
				"From": "striker",
				"To": "mtr_AfflictedR7",
				"SkinNoise": "KeepOriginal",
				"SkinNoiseTexture": ""
	}

• For Withered texture: mtr_NesterR7
• For Afflicted texture: mtr_AfflictedR7
• For Hallowed texture: mtr_Hallowed
• For Bleeder texture: mtr_StrikerFlesh
• For Infested texture: InfestedA, InfestedB, or InfestedC

How to use

1. Install the mod.
2. Set the "ModelCustomization" to the any of the above prefabs.
3. (OPTIONAL) Use EEC (extra enemy customization) to assign the enemy's base skin, otherwise they will use the default skin.
4. Spawn them as you would any other enemy.

Check the Custom/model.json folder from "Redemption" to see how the textures are swapped if you don't want the default skins.

Contact Project Zaero#9999 on the discord if you find any issues.
