Mimics!

Description
The dreaded Mimic comes to Darkest Dungeon!

Feeling especially masocistic? Add some mimics into the mix! They'll be sure to catch your party at the worst time! Remember though, as annoying as they are, they hold great rewards!

================
What's in this mod?
================

This mod adds mimics! These shapshifting creatures take the form of heirloom chests and lay in wait to ambush your party! Mimics are a 'mini-boss' of sorts which spawn when interacting with a new curio called a mimic-chest. Mimic-chests look almost like regular heirloom chests though a keen eye may learn to tell the difference!

In addition, this mod adds a new trinket! A reward that has a chance to drop from killing mimics! Just one of many treasures dropped by these annoying creatures!

Mimics will spawn in all dungeon difficulties and in every dungeon except the Darkest Dungeon and the Courtyard.

=============
Compatibility
=============

This mod should be compatible with pretty much any mod out there. Only issues you would have are any mods that add/remove curios or edits the spawn chance of curios. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to edit the '.props' files and make them compatible with other rmods that edit those files.

============
Bugs/Issues
============

The only main issue that I've come across is an interaction with the "clear all room battles" quests. Untouched mimic-chests will count as an undefeated room and you will not be able to complete the quest until you activate the chest and fight the mimic. As far as I'm aware there is no way to fix this. But let's be honest, you didn't download this mod to make things easier on yourself.

Only other thing, the summoning of the mimic isn't smooth at all. There is an annoying delay from when you activate a mimic-chest and when the mimic appears. If any vetern modders have any insights behind how I could fix this, I'm all ears.

==========
Feedback
==========
Always looking for constructive critisim. Do mimics spawn too often? Not often enough? Are the fights too hard or too easy? Are the rewards even worth it or too good? Does it even work or does your game just endlessly crash?

Art done by me...poorly. If you're an artist who'd like to take a shot at making an eldritch mimic, hit me up. I can create custom skeletons for your art, animate it, and throw it in game!

Sound by Tyler Hoffman he does great work and is the only reason the mimics in the mod don't fight in awkward silence! If you like what you hear and need some sound effects commissioned, hit him up!

I don't recommend this mod to anyone. If you open up a mimic, it forces you into the encounter with NO way to escape, And the Mimic gets 2 turns per round, none of his attacks proc riposte against him, and he stacks riposte. Overall it puts your people in a situation where it's incredibly unfair to fight due to unfair design choices. You can't counter the ripost by forcing a stun because it has over 100% Stun chance. You can't attack it or you're punished. If you let it attack you you can't riposte against it. Overall this is a 0/10 mod.

I found 1 issue with mimics it's small but kinda an issue.

So keys will show an icon at the bottom saying they can be used for a chest. They don't show for mimics.

I'm having that problem I saw most people are saying about the mod, the mimics don't fight back, they pass their two turns and just let me kill them.

Keep hearing people say that mimic's keep passing turns yet I never have this issue even right now im playing and just fought a mimic

Same problem. Mimic doesn't fight back. Just pass turn.
Maybe this is mod good, but I can't rate it because of this problem

Another bug that I've never seen before: My quest to do all room battles was completed early because I killed a Mimic. There is 1 more room battle to do, which I scouted immediately after finishing off the Mimic. Maybe this is related to the Mimic Passing?

This was working fine a few months ago. Suddenly it just passes every turn. Maybe something broke?

So the mimic chilling out forever is a common problem?
