    Behold, the new and refined pony (and much more) sprite pack for Terraria! I won't call it "HD pack" for I didn't change the resolution technically, just moved graphics from 2x2 to 1x1 pixels but... whatever.
    All is packed into 1 single entity so you won't need anything but pack itself (and TCCL for the 2nd variant) to have it fully operational.


    Installation:

    Old style pack:
    1. Navigate to Terraria's main folder.
    2. Make a backup copy of the %Terraria-Directory%/Content/Images somewhere
    3. Move the LeOldeStylePonyPack.zip in the main Terraria folder.
    4. UnZIP it there and confirm to overwrite the files.

    TCCL:
    1. Navigate to Terraria's main folder.
    2. UnZIP the TCCLPonyPack.zip in the "Custom Content" folder.


    So how come it started?

    Well one day I was tired and bored so I decided to toss sprites from the Desktop Ponies into Terraria and see what happens. It wasn't hard by any chance and funny enough the result was quite amusing. After having a couple of laughs with a friend after toying around with the new model and town NPCs, we left that idea be for some time and moved on.
    Eventually 1.1 Terraria release has arrived and with it, tons of new stuff. Some of it broke the old pony pack quite badly but in the same time added a lot of neat possibilities like not full body armor. Time passed but no new pony pack version arrived. I made new armors literally "on the knee" to at least continue using the pack with a friend and even sent those to JackBread so he could ease up the pressure on him by releasing a quick-fix for the problems 1.1 brought. Eventually I learned that he could no longer continue his work due to tragic events in the family.. :(
    And so I started my work as the pony pack dev. That's pretty much it.


    What's up there?

    Pack includes:
    -> Lots and lots of pony things for pony fans amusement.
    - Armors and vanity stuff
    - Enemies
    - Bosses
    - NPCs
    - Items and accessories
    -> No stone left unturned, no ingame sprite left in 2x2, the only exception are backgrounds as they refuse to convert to 1x1 and instead turn gigantic.
    - All items are resprited or even redesigned into 1x1.
    - Non-pony mobs also got a bit of love and have their appearance lined up with the rest of the things.
    - Quite a lot of imporved tiles.
    - Updated UI
    -> A small mystery :p

    Working on it was fun, I won't deny that. Despite the fact it started as a pure "pony" pack, I couldn't resist making other sprites too to avoid clashing of styles and other negative effects. And the result is interesting no less. I will leave it up to you to decide whenever was it successful or not. :)

    The pony pack is out!

    (Come on someone had to make this joke)

    Iv'e installed the TCCL texture pack and got some play time with it.
    First thing i noticed is that the overall texture pack looks GORGEOUS.
    details that I especially like are the bunnies looking like AngleBunny, and the PC's trotting animation.
    also the PC's horn glows whan he uses objects.

    Bugs and problems:
    • There is the minor problem of the PC's muzzle, tail overlaping with walls if you are too close to them. But that was a problem in the original pack as well and IS a small thing.
    • The part of the "Player hand" that supposed to be the telekinetic field don't fit right alot of times, this is especially apperent when using torches.
    Requests, Recomendations and Nitpicks:
    • Princess Luna as the guide? Personaly i prefer having twillight as the Guide, fluttershy as the Madic and Luna as the Dryad.
    • Once you have all the resources for Female PC pony, you can relise a mere varient of the pack, this should let people insrtall the pack best suited for their character and play female looking pony until the tConfig mod is ready. this is especially good for TCCL users, because they can switch pack ingame.
    • The tail is attached to the color of the eye, why not attack it to the unused undershirt, or the hair?
    Overall Great pack, this got me back into terraria. maybe i will whip a quick tConfig mod that will give NPC's their names from the show.

    Yeah, cramming all the pony details was rather hard on its own and I couldn't avoid that effect with a hitbox shaped to fit a standing human unfortunately.

    Alright, I will check on that, thanks for the report :)

    Luna as the Guide has its own meaning due to WOF. Her fall to darkness to say + she guided Scoots in S03 (even though I placed her here before S03 even aired XD ), besides my friend won't forgive me for putting Twi as the NPC with the highest lethality rate XD
    Twilight as the medic makes sense due to how she tried to heal Philomena. "Pillz and no excuses!", Fluttershy just doesn't have the nerve for that work tbh.
    Fluttershy and the nature. Really, they come so well together :)

    Well I will try my best on this one. Armors/suits might need a rework for that though.
    Simple.
    If I attach it to the hair, tail will vanish when player puts on full armor helmet.
    If I attach it to the undershirt, tail vanishes when player puts on any body piece.
    Eyes are always there. :)

    Sadam_Sandler
    True, didn't notice that myself. XD

    Macbuk
    Thanks for the addition :)

    Sn3ky
    Woah, talk about speed. Thanks for the concern though.

    LightningAce7, GabirilosGR
    Thanks for the kind feedback :)

    Marshmallon
    Well, it's not this easy to do now indeed. But hey, it at least puts on some moral weight on a player instead of "Imma go drop a doll in a lava, haha" :p

    Awesome work, EvilChaosKnight! Your mod made me start playing Terraria again :)

    @ender1200: I made a female head pack to the mod for my personal own use, I could upload it if anyone wants it.


    Edit: added a couple screens. 'Tis nothing special, just a quick fix for those who want a more female looking pony until EvilChaosKnight have time to add it.

    Watch the shock content plz.

    But in any case, ponies are awesome. I won't bother you with "try yourself", but isn't the fact that they brought me here on it's own a proof they are worthy of something? :p

    Great pack, looking great so far. Although I have always used the beard hair and i kind of miss it. I would like to know how you created the xnb files. I have been looking around in the forum but I cant find how to create a xnb file. I have tried the tccl version but i cant get tccl to run for some reason so I'm using the normal version otherwise i would just have edited the png files.

    Anyway great pack, it has given me a reason to play terraria again

    Lets try today. ;)

    I do NOT want not will I allow to occur a return to the "MLP wars" of yesteryear.

    Clearly, that isn't your intent here (as you appear to be a fan of the mod lack in question - someone enlighten me if I am incorrect).

    However, understand that things can and will be taken out of context.

    I'd ask that you at the very least spoiler that image and consider how others that may not understand the context of your intent might perceive things.

    As folks know, I'm no MLP fan...though im fine with folks expressing their fandom... but I have to insure things don't go down "those" roads again.

    I hope that makes sense.

    Cheers!
