Ripley Resprite

[Conflee]

About the PR

All sprites for the Ripley Mech, including recoloring most of the mech arms.

Why / Balance

The old Ripley sprites were very old, and no longer fit in with the rest of the mechs in the game. Specifically, their shading and outline style was dramatically different to the point of distraction in my opinion. However, the overall design was nice, so I kept that mostly. The mech arms and tools were also not colored the same as the Ripley, even before I reshaded it, so I amended that where needed.

Technical details

Edited change log. I probably won't bother crediting myself on this one if that's fine. (partially because figuring out how might be another hour but mostly because all I did was some shading and linework tweaks. Wasn't actually much) I'll do it in the future though!

I'd like to insist that you credit yourself!

(Plus I think the maintainers may block merging because of it, as we're trying to get a lot better with asset provenance/copyright verification right now.)

All you need to do is edit these 3 files to credit yourself (just append your name to the copyright text that's already in those files).

Alrighty done.

Ignore the failed labels test (they're kinda broken right now, outside of your control)...

[ps3moira]

I don't like the four orange lights on the back, it doesn't make much sense design wise. Could swap it out for a control panel look.

I don't like the four orange lights on the back, it doesn't make much sense design wise. Could swap it out for a control panel look.

They're meant to be indicator lights for if the machine is on or off. The unpiloted version has the lights turned off so it's easier to tell if it's occupied or not from behind.

[K-Dynamic]

Overall I like the resprite. I think the orange lights are cool but the shape/profile of the back is a bit too similar to the front.

It's not game-breaking but it's a bit hard to tell from a glance whether the ripley is facing north or south
