Bionicle Heroes: Tohunga Flavor 1.0 Release!

Hey everyone! This is a fun side project I whipped up before going on holiday, taking inspiration from the Tohunga color schemes. The reason I made this a full mod page is because it's very comprehensive - with GUI, HUD, logos, and .exe icons all modified as well - and I plan to perhaps do more for this mod down the line in regards to weapons and the like. For now, though, let's get into what's in this aesthetic refresh!


Visuals

-Replaced Toa colour schemes with Tohunga colours - The bread-and-butter of the mod, all Toa have been retextured with their Tohunga colors. For some, like Hahli (who also has a partially transparent mask), the change is noticeable but a little lesser; for others, like Jaller or Nuparu, the new elements are immediately distinct.

-Replaced HUD icons with revised versions according to each Toa - In the interests of total comprehensiveness, every HUD icon - so that's saves, the HUD, and also the changemask icon - has all been changed to be consistent with the new Toa. These were done by photo-editing, not re-rendering out the heads.

-Made HUD icons consistent in the Hub level - As the last bit of comprehensiveness, the actual level file for the hub has been modified to contain the new HUD icon textures.

Misc

-Added new .exe icons - Seeing as the original .exe icon is Jaller's face, I took the liberty of replacing the icon for the .exe with the revised yellow-headed Jaller icon instead

-Added new logo to the main menu - All mods benefit from a logo, and Heroes makes it pretty easy to slot this logo right into the main menu screen!

-Replaced splash screen with credits - The splash screen can also be used to help give extra personality to a mod and since someone else gave feedback whilst I was making Tohunga Flavor, I wrote them in on the splash screen as a credits screen too.

Conclusion

Tohunga Flavor is not a revolutionary mod - not a total conversion like DV, a definitive edition like MOVN, or a character addition like Voriki - but I enjoyed making something a little more laid back, and adding more options for players to enjoy the game, or any version of the game this might be compatible with given it's only a visual change.
