[CS+PET] SplatIdols 64

[CS+PET] SplatIdols 64 v2.0

After a long time, I finally finished the previously-announced Squid Sisters + Off the Hook update for my [CS+PET] Deep Cut (Splatoon 3) mod, and honestly, this mod changed A LOT compared to the previous version, to the point where I had to revamp the whole mod, but here are the notable changes;

CHANGELOG​

  • Modified Deep Cut's models significantly, with added costumes based on Splatoon Raiders.
  • Smallfry no longer has recolorable hair, instead opting for 7 alts corresponding to the hairstyles in Splatoon 3.
  • You can now change whether or not you want the custom music to play for non-Splatoon characters in the options menu.
  • Requirement for Character Select/Widdlepets has changed.
  • Added Squid Sisters and Off the Hook characters, with their respective costumes.
  • Added Swim form models.
  • Added Super-Mario-Sunshine-esque diving, among other moveset options.
  • Custom animations have been added to make them distinct from Mario.

PROMISES​

Now, I have to be clear with you all, remember when I said I was going to add the idols' respective weapons into their movesets + the Inklings/Octolings (even though that wasn't confirmed outright)?

... I... uh... couldn't do it.


I tried, honestly, but I just felt like it was making this mod feel a bit bloated, and don't get me started on the ink mechanics; if I had more understanding of Super Mario Sunshine's goop code, maybe I could have pulled it off, but for now, I'm pushing it aside.

As for the Inklings/Octolings, I can't exactly promise much, but I definitely have... some ideas for a separate mod featuring them, so it's going on my probable-to-do list that I might come back to in the future.

COSTUME OPTIONS​

Anyways, about the costumes themselves, here's what I have for now;
  • Callie — Agent 1, Hypnoshades
  • Marie — Agent 2
  • Pearl — Octo Expansion
  • Marina — Octo Expansion
  • Shiver — Raiders
  • Frye — Raiders
  • Big Man — Raiders
Now, I know these characters have a lot more costumes than this, but I simply chose the more iconic ones, so let me know if you really REALLY want to see a specific one be added!

Anyways, thanks for waiting patiently, enjoy the fruits of my labor, stay fresh~!
It's been a while since our beloved Deep Cut made the scene on Peach's Castle, and I must wonder, whatever happened to the other idol groups? Y'know, the Squid Sisters? Off the Hook? Where are they? ... Well, they're on their way!

Introducing; SplatIdols 64!

(... or I could call it the "Now Or Never Seven Pack", either way, it's still a work in progress, I'll decide a new name once I'm done)

That's right, I'm making an update to this mod to add Callie, Marie, Pearl, and Marina as playable characters (maybe even the Inklings/Octolings...?), and not only that, I'm going to be adding a bunch of other new stuff to this already fishy platter;
  • [🔸] An extra move for when you press the [L] button, in which each of the idols get to use their signature weapon to help them obtain Power Stars!
  • [🔸] A total rework of the "extra faces" gimmick, giving the characters a TON of unique expressions + bringing back the unused directional eyes!
  • [❌] A rework of the Deep Cut characters, fixing Y-offsets and odd, buggy rigs! (looking at YOU, Big Man...)
  • [✔️] Semi-accurate hair physics! (Only for Callie and Marina)
  • [⭕] Hairstyles for Smallfry from "Splatoon 3"!
  • [⭕] Costumes (Hypno Callie, OE Pearl, etc.)
✔️ - Implemented / ❌ - Not Yet Implemented / 🔸 - Semi-Implemented / ⭕ - To Be Decided

I can't define a proper release date yet, but I have been posting updates through my Bluesky, so stay tuned!
So, with that being said and done... Stay fresh, and don't get cooked, stay off the hook!
