For DOCKED WORLDS ONLY or C3 Standalone!

Modified from Arnout's aquarium patch.

Eliminates the drabness of those aquarium fish. Some changes are more drastic than others. The clownfish and handlefish, for instance, are barely noticeable most of the time. The neonfish, however, is quite changed. Note that these colours are not heritable like with the rainbow sharklings, and instead are truly random.

The rainbow sharklings, on the other hand, still have inherited colour, but a higher chance of mutation so that you don't get one homogeneous muddy colour after several generations.

Finally, this tweaks the orange and opal sponge, as well as the wysts, so that they appear in both the east and west tanks naturally.

EDIT: Sharks were broken, should be fixed!

EDIT: Just fair warning, overuse of the TINT command can be pretty resource-intensive and may slow down your game if your computer is not up to the task! Using the rainbow sharklings should be fine, though, because they're already TINTed.

ylukyun is correct. My computer can handle it fairly decently so I didn't think to warn anyone of it. I'll put in a disclaimer.

EDIT: Although you should be able to use the sharklings without issue because those are already TINTed.

It's probably due to use of the TINT command on so many agents. That is a resource-intensive one, unfortunately. The game is fairly constrained on how many resources it can use, even on modern PCs, so if you have something like this slowing it down it can affect performance, particularly if you have a lot of other agents and/or creatures in the world.

Hi! I really love these fixes and want to use them, but I noticed that after installing them, my game slowed down and I experienced a lot of stuttering. I had the issue in a newly-created docked world as well, and the issue resolved when I reverted back to the original .cos files.

Awesome! I haven't thoroughly tested the sharks yet so if it doesn't work properly, let me know and I'll take a look at it! Also, why did this get posted as food? Lol, lemme see if I can change that.

EDIT: And as soon as I go to look I find a typo. Way to go, me. Fixed!

Ooh pretty! I really like the look of the neon fish normally but I may give this a try for the sharks not always ending up muddy and more variety in the aquarium.
