Description
v1.07 - Fixed Palette 3 showing incorrect colour for Barry & Leon skill

Note: All screenshots/gifs on this page are still from version 1.0, unless specified otherwise. Some changes, such as further improved skill speed + foot alignment + arm fix have been improved since 1.0.


Ringmaster – Animation Tweaks

A streamlined animation mod for the Ringmaster class by TheHolyChicken. Shorter, cleaner, and better aligned with the minimalist style of vanilla Darkest Dungeon.


Overview
The fantastic Ringmaster class by TheHolyChicken is full of quality and amazing art. However, I found some of the long, fluid animations clashed with vanilla Darkest Dungeon's fast, 1–2 frame skill effects.

This mod simplifies and refines the most animation-heavy skills, speeding them up if needed and aligning them more with the game's default pacing. Also alters the Walk animation.


What This Mod Changes

NEW: ARM FIX
• Ringmaster's missing arm during IDLE/WALK Animations along with the fur piece in front of it have been retextured + reanimated for all pallettes so it's more obvious that the arm is behind her back. No more floating half-arm!

WALK ANIMATION
• She now walks smoothly and the mace moves a bit more naturally.


FOOT ALIGNMENT (Walk, Idle, Combat Sprites)
• Ringmaster's feet are no longer below the 'ground' line - ie. her feet are now on the same level as other heroes, instead of slightly below.

SKILL ANIMATIONS:


Flummox! (Puppet Throw)
• Faster and cleaner: puppets now quickly strike the target without floating or wiggling all the way there.



Last Laugh (Mace Bash)
• Shorter windup, better impact sync. The mace now lands when the hit sound plays - no more awkward delays.



Barry & Leon (Puppet Stress Heal)
• Puppets move less - the animation is snappier.



Fan Favourite (Spotlight Buff)
• Dimmer spotlight that still flickers visibly
• Less screen domination
• Tossed roses have minimal float and get to the point - literally



Grand Entrance - Fixed palettes B through E being jumbled up
• Shorter windup, better impact sync.
• Slightly less swinging motion - still plenty of movement to achieve the same epic feel of the skill


Requirements
You need one of the following Ringmaster class mods:

Ringmaster (Full Version)
Ringmaster (Lite Version)

Load my mod ABOVE the original Ringmaster mod in the load order.

It does!

looks awesome! Does this work for ringmaster lite though? I don't like the ringmaster stuff purely on her camp skill so i have a different one for wagon

@wonderboy

Thats the exact one I used!

That guide doesn't have any info on actually making the animation of course (just importing/exporting), so if you have any questions at all let me know. Dragonbones and I are very, very acquainted by now. And its hard to find info elsewhere lol

Did you use the method here https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2200465472 to do all of this? Because that's great! Now I have a guide to finish the animations for my mods.
Sir Fartzalot  [author] 15 Aug @ 9:41am 
Fixed!

And my pleasure!

Yeah I love the duelist vibe shes got. Great poses for the sprites too.
Could definitely adjust the shading and colours to better match the dirty grungy look of DD1 tho, could be fun

Of course, thanks again for the mods! Thorn is definitely a fun and unique class, so check it out if you've got the time.
Sir Fartzalot  [author] 14 Aug @ 8:33pm 
I really appreciate the heads up! I’ve been testing so many other tweaks that I haven’t actually used her in a while, woulda taken ages to notice lol.

Thorn looks sick I’ll have to mess around with that one
