Did you ever think, that some icons looks like stock images? Or why some skill descriptions are basically doing same thing in different way, but worded so... differently? Or why descriptions looks so bland at first place?
Colored Chat Support.pak needs to be loaded BEFORE the abkarino_ColoredChat_P.pak.

Have you ever noticed that some icons look like stock images? Or wondered why some skill descriptions are worded so differently? What about the inconsistency... being all over the place? NEW ICONS Over 200+ icons have been remade, drawing from my experience for SSO. Many icons are repurposed from it - with significant tweaks. I've tried to capture the essence of vanilla, but with improvements.
IMPROVED CONSISTENCY Over 5000+ strings has been rewritten to make them more consistent, flavourful, pleasing, and clear.
MORE DETAILS Heists, objectives, skills, armors, deployables, throwables, and tools now have detailed information in their descriptions, with hidden gameplay elements explained. MARKDOWNS This mod includes completely color-coded markdowns for descriptions of skills, loadouts, and in-game chat.
UI TWEAKS Interface have been slightly tweaked to create a more pleasant experience, and to fix bugs that present in vanilla.
FX TWEAKS Effects have been slightly edited to work in all environments and take up marginally less screen space.
This mod isn't limited to in-game use and is supported by the following tools. PD3.GG Script made by Jade A website for skill building, leaderboards, and more. With a browser user script extension like Violentmonkey, you can customize the site's interface using markdown and icons from this mod, which can be toggled on or off individually. WEAPON BENCH Submitted by Jade A supplementary tool for loadouts, with weapon stats, attachment details, and damage breakpoints and visualise the impacts of skills and attachments. Support for this mod is built into the site. You can switch between the vanilla and modded interface from the dropdown menu. Not compatible with any other mods that replace icons, even if they are just recolors - unless the mod is specifically tailored to work with this one. It is also not compatible with any other mods that replace locres files, which are mainly used for localization, like weapon names. Additionally, text-related features only work when the game language is set to English, though localization patches can be made by others.
