Status Effects

Color

This plugin color tints the materials in the scene, meaning any color choices you apply will almost always darken the object. In order to lighten an object, it is necessary to replace the texture. For example, most of the winter objects are texture replaced meaning any color choices you make won't be used.

Global Keys

• season_winter
• season_summer
• season_spring
• season_fall

Custom Textures

The plugin allows to use of custom textures by adding png files into the designated directories within your configuration folder in bepinex.

File structure

BepInEx
 - config
  - Seasonality
   - Textures
    - Beech
    - BeechSmall
        - spring.png
        - summer.png
        - winter.png
        - fall.png
    - Birch
    - ...

The names of the png files must follow the summer.png syntax in order for the plugin to recognize it.

Notes

Come find me on OdinPlus Discord in order to share texture files and learn about what the texture needs to look like.
