Alien base needs some of this

maybe buildings older than 1 minute would start to spread this shit arround? Would be cool and look better than low res unanimated gray "stuff" texture.

[Combat Jack]

woah thats some crazy stuff... but i disagree w/ u

[Rippy]

Sorry, I like my creep. But those caterpillars are freaky o_O

[Caveman]

hrhr, when in Sweden it's better to walk than to ride a bike *G*

[reinie]

arghh i am all itchy now

but i agree a litlle i think places around alien buildings should slowly turn black (like it is under eggs) so when a base is standing on place for long its all alien style

You want creep all over the place so the alien base looks like the hive in film "aliens"? ...and so the humans can say things like "it looks like some sort of secreted resin" and, a little later on, "THEY'RE COMIN OUT OF THE GODDAM WALLS!!"

[Odin]

Yea, it'd be a much better "creep area" effect, like the Zerg have in Starcraft. When you build structures as the Zerg, the creep area increases around the buildings, covering the terrain. Why isn't the creep in this game more like that? It would help builders know how far they can build.

As for the Humans, this idea can be used as well, except, only when you have a construction kit. If my idea is implemented, if you have your construction kit out, a transparent sphere is drawn around the reactor and repeaters, to show how far the power is going, like the Protoss Pylons do, in Starcraft.

[Caveman]

"sphere" made me think about "sphere of influence"
Why not go a step further and lower the chargetime for the builder when the sphere increases?

[kozak6]

Expanding creep sounds interesting.

But would it damage framerates?

[Caveman]

I think not as I think it would be a texture and not another polygon model.

now it is a flat model with a texture on it, you can see it by placing for example acids on curved surfaces, sometimes "creep" grows on curved surfaces, sometimes it just sticks out like a piece of paper

thats excactly what i was thinking off caus this game is like totally alien style

[Basilisco]

"Dude, where's my bike?"

[Lava Croft]

Goddamn junkie caterpillars!

[Howitzer]

Please tell me that was a plague and that doesn't happen every damn summer
And the creep would a bit of a bad idea since it would alert humans there are alien structures nearby faster...

[KorJax]

I just wanna flamethrower all that shit  


Oh wait, we have flamethrowers in Trem eh...?

Lets make it a feature now

Yes, because it isn't already hard enough to find the Human structures...

[trigger happy]

You could try to make a level with somthing like that. Sweet pic BTW.

I am SO on that. I want to see Hicks say that in-game..... *laughs*

[DIGI_Byte]

i have that on the alien base its a purple organic stuff but it doesn't move

[StVald]

Maybe add some damage from the creep as a trade off for the visibility? This can also be a solution to egg hunts.[/quote]

[DIGI_Byte]

how about a texture that worms its way from the overmind to other structures like a vien or somthing that runs off a script and a human walking on it gets hurt and/or slows down slightly

this is exactly what I had in mind. A DYNAMIC texture with worms that slows humies down, granger spit should slow hummies too, and should too have those worms

[Mwa]

Those pictures are more than slightly disturbing. XD

[Nux]

Heh.. it took me a while to figure out why you wanted more snowy white trees in tremulous.

Freaky worms.

[Paradox]

Those are tentworms, they are everywhere, and you get rid of them by burning the web they make.

Very fun.

[Odin]

I can imagine... Is it anything like burning steel wool?

I think the crep slowdown humans. I have played a few local games, only me against me, and walking near eggs and other stuff make you slooow. So seems that slowdown you. Anyway I have not check that in real games.

[DIRKDIGGLER]

Now THAT is FREAK-KAAAY. Man that is right out of a Steven King novel!!

[Howitzer]

Imagine you lying in that pile.
Now imagine they're infesting your whole house.


Bye bye
