Eclipse Skins — experimental playtest 0.1.0

29 individually selectable, unlocked skin drafts across eight survivors, including Acrid’s Bog Hopper frog. This is a playtest release with known visual defects, unfinished art and unverified runtime behavior. It is not a finished-quality release.

Install through a compatible Thunderstore mod manager, then select the skin under the survivor’s Loadout > Skin menu. No Eclipse completion or save edits are required. Each skin keeps its own identity; future updates add or improve individual skins without waiting for a complete set.

Included drafts

The table identifies the actual packaged revisions. Newer un-packaged modeling experiments are not included. Void Fiend and other concept-only or adapter-incomplete skins will arrive when technically ready.

Known limitations

• Bog Hopper/frog M018: eye/brow shape remains unfinished. Slash, FireSpit, Bite and Run may show folds or buried limb regions. Body and spine replacements are cosmetic; native attack/effect attachments remain. Actual registration, Animator/IK, shader response and skin-switch restoration still need testing.
• REX Prickly Customer uses unfinished flat palette materials and experimental cosmetic leg motion; burrow/terrain/effect alignment remain unverified.
• Other drafts retain open art, weapon, clipping, turret/alternate-mode, shader and animation findings. MUL-T Yard Salvager intentionally retains stock Power Mode cannons as a pilot exception.
• Existing offline mesh checks, compilation and scoped historical user feedback do not establish that every skin works in the current game. Current combined registration, skills, all loadouts, respawn, item attachments, performance and multiplayer are untested.

Avoid duplicate development plugins

If you already installed an earlier development copy of one of these same Eclipse skin plugins, disable the duplicate copy in your test profile before enabling this package. Stable plugin GUIDs are deliberately retained. The old independent Commando Collection is a different mod and is not bundled or overwritten here.

Useful first test

Check the lobby preview, stock → custom → stock switching, movement/jumping, repeated skills with both loadouts, death/respawn and representative items. For the frog, also check spines returning on the stock skin. Report package 0.1.0, the skin name, action/loadout, screenshot or clip, and relevant BepInEx log lines. Frog markers include ACRID_E1_REGISTERED, ACRID_E1_PART_READY and ACRID_E1_REGISTRATION_FAILED.

Only authored runtime plugins, meshes, textures and public documentation are included. Game assemblies, editable scenes and private development records are excluded. Dependencies are installed by your mod manager. No game or profile changes are performed merely by viewing or downloading this page.
