OMG! That is so win!

Seriously though, is that going to be in 1.2? Or just something interesting you're working on?
Title: Re: Alien inview weapon preview.
Post by: mooseberry on March 07, 2008, 02:53:02 am
Umm.. Really cool, but is it actually always going to be like that or just when you attack? Hopefully the latter because I do not want those things in my screen the whole game.  ;)

But great work.. again.

Heh they look cool :)

As long as you can turn them off its fine with me. Personally I always stick with "hide weapon" or whatever its called, I really dont need to see what im carrying to use it, also there's no blind spots.

Nice pic though lol

Post by: Stannum on March 07, 2008, 03:18:24 am
Yes, this is for 1.2
No, they aren't in view all the time, only when attacking.
No, there is no video yet, have to fix some frame issues.
Yes, you should be able to turn them off. If not, ha ha ha!
Title: Re: Alien inview weapon preview.
Post by: ODDity on March 07, 2008, 03:25:36 am

All the best.

Watch an old person in a grocery store.  You hit a certain age, and you get eyes in the back of your throat.  That's the only possible explanation for holding things up around mouth-level, tilting the head backwards so the mouth falls open - the eye in the throat has better vision and needs to read the label.

Well, 1.2 is coming out at the same time as Duke Nukem Forever, which means there will be at least a beta by the end of this year.
1.3 is coming out right after Duke Nukem Forever: The Hefner Expansion Pack comes out.

i prefer the mara + basilisk claws, this goonleg is looking quite "fat", little bit too 'round' for my taste, but if it fits to the model, ofc it's cool. some rather "edgy" style would fit trem best imho.
Title: Re: Alien inview weapon preview.
Post by: Lava Croft on March 14, 2008, 11:18:33 am
The Aliens in Tremulous do not really look like walking switchblades... They are quite cute, certainly compared to the fugly critters from Gloom. I think the curvey shapes complement the organic forms of the Alien models.
Title: Re: Alien inview weapon preview.
Post by: + OPTIMUS + on March 14, 2008, 11:27:58 am
well it's all about taste of course.
in my eyes curvy and roundy is quite a difference (while both can happen in a good and bad way). curves what the mara/basi has are neat, while still organic. like organic sickles. the goon chomper is looking quite... 'bulby'... <.<

on the other hand, are those goon chompers going to be visible? or are they going to actually bite?

If not, we can at least drool over the models and screenshots you've shown so far.

SVN doesn't have any models. Media isn't really under version control.

I compiled it and ran it. You get a series of errors on mapload and then it behaves pretty much normally.

IMHO the goon is a somewhat more heavy and brute creature then the agile marauder and sneaky basilisk. It's large front legs look more like clubbing weapons than sharp claws. I think the slightly rounded, "beefy" look is rather suiting for this.
