Playable Ripto

Major edit: It took sooner than expected to figure out. All of Ripto's spell weapons that are summoned from Ripto's scepter will now have a 50/50 chance of being the regular scepter or the Phantom of the Badlands scepter when crafted. Phantom of the Badlands Ripto from Crash Team Rumble also has a costume from the previous update. I also added Phantom wings to go with the Phantom outfit, even though Phantom Ripto doesn't have wings for this costume in Crash Team Rumble. The vampire wings are batlike, so I made the Phantom wings feathered. Ripto has new scan descriptions when he's either too far away or there is nothing there, more befitting of his personality. The crew now refer to Ripto as king and not captain. Finally, I added Ripto's radio, which plays all the AI covers I have done for Ripto so far. Listen to Ripto sing! I also have one more outfit that I want to add in the next update that was fanmade by me. Ripto's Phantom costume is crafted at Ripto's Magic Loom and Ripto's radio and Phantom wings are crafted at Ripto's Spell Table.

Ripto from Spyro: Reignited Trilogy (and the classic Spyro: Ripto's Rage) is here to conquer the universe! For fans that have always wanted to play as Ripto, this is a perfect mod. Ripto NPCs use an NPC version of Ripto's Scepter. The NPC Ripto's Scepter will fire a projectile that arcs more to correct an issue with NPCs aiming over targets' heads. You start off with a regular Ripto's Scepter found in the ship locker. Ripto's Scepter and NPC Ripto's Scepter can also be crafted at Ripto's Spell Table or dropped from Ripto NPCs. The scepter looks good used with Ripto's Magic Barrier and Orb Techs. Other spell weapons are cast from Ripto's Scepter, but have different icons to tell them apart. Don't dual wield them with other "Ripto's Scepters" or it'll look funny, put them in separate slots instead. Phoenix Spell is inspired by Terraria's Phantom Phoenix, and Ripto's Magic Wings are inspired by Jim's Wings and Nebula Wings from Terraria. Ripto's Scepter is a one handed weapon that uses alt attack when using Shift + mouse click.

Ripto's Wing Spell glows in the dark and it, the vampire wings, and phantom wings have realistic flapping animations. Recommend to use the flight spell tech while wearing them. Ripto ambush events were removed in an earlier update due to people finding hostiles too tough and/or disliking NPCs randomly showing up. Ripto and his minions randomly beam in while you explore on a planet. One ambush event is hostile, and the other is friendly. Event NPCs (also removed from this mod) will despawn when far enough offscreen if you don't want to deal with them. Like the non-event NPCs (still in this mod), there's regular and stronger variations. The stronger ones have custom stats and are more powerful, but non-event NPCs can only be spawned with admin commands. If you are playing as Ripto, NPC Ripto and his minions will think you're a clone. Show them who the real Ripto is! The addon for the ambush events is here. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2613588043

Orb techs function close to how they function in the Ripto's Rage boss battle. I also added two new orbs. Ice and Dark. Ripto's items are crafted at Ripto's Spell Table, Ripto's Potion Table, and Ripto's Magic Loom. Ripto's ship now uses "castlewalls1", "castlewalls2" and "cobblestonebrick" blocks for the background walls, as well as new ship objects. If you want a ship pet, use Purchasable Pets mod. Ships made before the new ship objects update will have the original walls, objects, and boosters, but you can replace them. SAIL, locker, and fuel hatch are moveable (except for ships created before I made them moveable), but the teleporter, captain's chair, and boosters are normally unbreakable. Use /admin in the chat commands, then put /entityeval object.smash() with the cursor over the object you wanna replace/move. Next, use /debug to see your ship dungeon ID. Use /debug again to turn off debug, then put /settileprotection dungeonIDnumberhere false. You can now place Ripto's new ship boosters after smashing the originals. Repeat the settileprotection command with true to reset tile protection outside the ship. Tile protection only affects the outer part of the ship and not the interior. The names of item name, including ship objects, is in the link to the discussion thread.

This 'race mod' focuses on Ripto and not his whole species. The only difference between the "male" and "female" slot is Ripto uses a different instance of him saying "ouch" when hurt. Spell armor and the EPP spell icons are based on the Nebula buffs from Terraria. Ripto has custom scan descriptions and special dialog when talking to another Ripto (WHAT! A clone of ME?!), and different dialog when speaking to other races. NPC Riptos are encountered through occasional ambush events (will be in an addon). The ambush events are spaced apart to feel natural, but Ripto clones and loyalists who think their Ripto is real is a possibility. There's no plans for dungeons. Ripto is just starting out gathering followers to help him take over planetary castles, abandoned or not. Ripto mostly stays in his castle ship. What better castle to keep as a permanent residence than one you can take with you across space to conquer the universe? If you want to spawn in NPCs and items, see this discussion here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2550120589/4312743731811422843/ Also, to those who play Terraria, I have made a playable Ripto mod for tModLoader. Check it out on the mod browser if you play Terraria!

There's other mods depicted in the screenshots and videos, most notably Castlevania, ITA Dragon Temple, Callistan, Draconis, Harpy, Primatex, Nostalgic Greenery, Monster Sounds, Warframe Parkour, Blood Mod Reduced, among a couple others I can't name off the top of my head. I recommend Combineable Augments mod if you want to attach combined augments to Ripto's EPP spell back item.
