Title: Arcane and Bestiary mod
Post by: doudley on July 03, 2017, 05:51:40 am
(https://vgy.me/5mkLwz.png)

A modification to the Arcane Stats Panel, making it a dual purpose journal for the arcane and bestiary by adding new stats and creature types killled entries. Each entry but not all has its own artwork and/or lore.

New stats like "Critters Squished" are from Unearthed Arcana mod by DeeZire.

Creatures from Synergies (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=136232408), Human Enemies (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=199661313), and Logan's Gifts (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=876422751) are fully supported.

Special support to Darkthan's Path of Torchlight (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=806910563) and its Part 2 (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=975268387), including both mod's unique creatures. New bestiary artworks added!

This modification is also included in my Torchlight II UI (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=931832809) mod.

Artworks and Lores are from or based on the works by
Monsters of Torchlight II (http://runicgames.com/blog/torchlight-ii/page/24/)
Torchlight 2 Creatures (http://runicgames.com/torchlight2/)
Michael Franchina (http://aphinc.blogspot.com/)
Kyle Cornelius (https://www.artstation.com/artist/ziedrich)
DarkTails (http://forums.runicgames.com/discussion/39396/tl2-beastiary-project)

Mod Icon is based from

Oh this is great! Shame, the images are flatten. Is it possible that you still have the creatures without the background? I still have some creature types that doesn't have artworks.

hey @doudley thanks, i can see clearly what artstyle u want. Also, you're very skilled with 2D art!

If i find the un-flattened captures, i'll make a few samples to show u - u can tell me if they're good enough :P

These are the ones I'm having trouble with:
Elementals
Grand Regent
Mimics
Spiders

Loading elementals in meshviewer will only show me the model and leave out their particles, so I can't really capture them at their actual state.

Loading mimics in meshviewer render them with messed up texture, so I can't capture this too.

Grand Regent and Spiders, I think I can manage, we'll see.

hey @doudley thanks, i can see clearly what artstyle u want. Also, you're very skilled with 2D art!
Thanks! 2D is the only thing my borrowed laptop can handle and the artworks I've done are mostly rushed, its really shameful to see them upclose but in-game, I think they're good enough.

The trick i learned capturing screens of monsters with their particles is to view them using the unit editor in GUTS. Once youve selected the monster in the editor, just use the "view mesh" tool (magnifying glass) ;)
