[1.4] Town NPCs by Deon - alternative sprites selection

[Deon]

This started as an idea of a few NPC tweaks, as I like the early game which feels like high fantasy and monsters, but the nurse and the painter stand out for me, with their modern look.
Now I use this thread to post variations of NPC looks, and you can suggest yours if you want.

Guaranteed:
- Works in game.
- TownNPC/generic/party sprites are done.
- Map icon/NPC housing icon is done.

These are three separate "texture packs" (technically 1 NPC replacer each), so you can install only those that you want.

Name: "NPC by Deon - Nurse the Nun"
Description: "Retextures nurse as a nun, for those who prefer a less-modern look. Nuns often assisted wounded soldiers, but I don't think any of them were as poignant as our nurse."

Name: "NPC by Deon - Dryad the Green"
Description: "Retextures dryad into a plantoid creature. Suits those who would rather see a magical plant-like girl than a green haired girl in bikini."

Name: "NPC by Deon - Dryad the Elf"
Description: "An alternative look for the dryad, which turns her into a purple-haired elf."

Name: "NPC by Deon - Painter of Olde"
Description: "Retextures the painter into renaissance-style clothing, for those who prefer a less modern look. Remark: A fancy beret and a set of uncommon clothing do not guarantee creativity."

Name: "NPC by Deon - Goblin the Grease"
Description: "An alternative retexture of the goblin tinkerer to give him a mechanic-like look and green hair, with a vibe coming from games like Warcraft."

Name: "NPC by Deon - Cyborg the T1K",
Description: "A skeleton-like mechanical cyborg version, dressed in a biker clothing for some reason. Come with him if you want to live."
P.S. His eye glows in the dark.

Installation instructions:

1. Unpack the folders for replacers that you want into proper folders:
- On Windows: "My Documents\My Games\Terraria\ResourcePacks"
- On Mac, open Finder and press "Go" on the top. Then press "Go to folder...". Type in ~Library/Application Support/Terraria/ResourcePacks
- On Linux, $XDG_DATA_HOME/Terraria/ResourcePacks

The correct path for reference:
C:\Users\Deon\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ResourcePacks\NPC by Deon - Dryad the Green\pack.json

2. Enable the desired pack in the Main Menu -> Texture packs.
3. Enjoy.

I'm liking the Nurse and Painter. Good work.

 

[Deon]

Thank you. The dryad is a bit of a lazy recolor + bigger flower, she just looks better like this in the new fully natural treehouse I build for her. I may come up with alternatives.

If you have an NPC that you NEED to have looking different, let me know and I will try to come up with something that is within my skill limits.

 

[Deon]

I've added an alternative look for the Dryad, which is based on Zilem's avatar.

 

[The Owler]

Neat.

Now that, that I like. Great job on it. Fits perfectly in the game, especially since I never liked her default hair.

(Also credit to Zilem for a cool avatar and sprite pack.)

Added a goblin tinkerer option:

Added an alternative look for the cyborg:

Name: "NPC by Deon - Cyborg the T1K",
Description: "A skeleton-like mechanical cyborg version, dressed in a biker clothing for some reason. Come with him if you want to live."

They are all really great, keep them coming. Using all of them!

 

[smeagolheart]

Say, any inspiration for the zoologist? She has two forms so it's a big order.

Or the Arms Dealer? I could see more of a darker colored trench coat on him and maybe a scar of possible.

 

[rhebok]

These are great, I really like Goblin the Grease and Nurse the Nun !

Now that, that I like. Great job on it. Fits perfectly in the game, especially since I never liked her default hair.

@Deon Any chance for another respite with her ginormous elf ears to be covered by her hair?

 

[♥Astolfo♥]

Dryad is just a plant sim

 

[Zero Crimson]

What about replacing the nurse with Mikan Tsumiki from Danganronpa? I tried doing it by myself but i'm really bad at spriting

 

[DeFrox]

These look great!!! Do you think you might be able to re-sprite the stylist at some point? Alts for her seem to be sorta rare.

 

[ZerKoma]

These resprites are amazing!
I really love the Goblin Tinkerer one!
I did see that the gore sprites weren't resprited, tho I don't know if there was something preventing you from adding those...
I might try creating some...

 

[smeagolheart]

Are there any other mods like this? I am having trouble finding others and I'd be surprised if the game has been out this long and there aren't other NPC resprite packs.

The only one I can think of at the moment is Slim Player & Female NPC Texture packs it makes all NPC's female and has an optional deer dryad

 

[Narananas]

For the last week I've been using most of these textures and they're wonderful! I'm really digging the fantasy/demodernised look.

 

[Gletch]

man this is really good! i like the cyborg and tinkerer sprites those are my favorites
