Description
From the author, in the original language.
NEW: Ash-Greninja version. A second download swaps in Ash-Greninja's head (Ash's red and black crest, red eyes) and the big water shuriken on his back. Install only one of the two files.
What it changes
- Model: Greninja (Smash model) fitted to Yamato's skeleton, so every animation, hitbox and the camera work as normal. The tongue scarf is simulated cloth and the tail fin swings.
- Weapon: the swords are gone; Greninja holds a water kunai.
- Alt fire: throws a spinning water shuriken.
- Ability 2 (Flying Strike): the grapple is a water kunai on a water-colored rope.
- Ultimate: renamed Shiny Transformation. Greninja turns into its shiny colors (black body, red scarf), with a shuriken symbol overhead and a Poke Ball on the ground.
- Effects: all of Yamato's red effects are recolored to water blue.
- Voice: all of Yamato's voice lines are replaced with Greninja's cries from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Abilities 1 and 2 have fixed cries on windup and release.
- Icons and text: new ability icons (kunai and Greninja silhouettes), the hero is named Greninja, "sword" reads "kunai", "Shadow" reads "Shiny".
- Hands: the left hand is open (no scabbard to hold), and the kunai hand grips properly on the zipline.
- Hero select (new in 1.1): Greninja pose, GRENINJA name logo, painted Greninja portraits and roster tile, tags Protean / Shinobi / Water-Type, blue background, blue tags and ability circles.
Install
Put the .vpk in Deadlock\game\citadel\addons and rename it to the next free pakNN_dir.vpk (for example pak01_dir.vpk), or add it with Deadlock Mod Manager.
Notes
- Client side only. Every Yamato in your match looks and sounds like this to you, including enemies. Hitboxes are unchanged; Greninja's limbs are thinner than the real hit areas.
- It replaces many of Yamato's animation, particle and text files, so a game update that changes Yamato can break it until it is rebuilt. If Yamato looks wrong after a patch, remove the mod.
- English text only.
- Conflicts with any other Yamato model, voice or effect mod.
- The preview images are Blender renders of the mod's model.
I'd be happy to add features that people suggest. Leave a comment with your ideas!
