New in-game HUD for aliens and maybe the game menu
« on: May 15, 2011, 03:27:55 am »
So i have started tremulous recently and found out how the aliens isnt what i expected. The aliens only have hud and no alien claw, teeth or even the tail. I have heard that the 1.2 update have marauder claw... but what i really want is the teeth for the dritch like in natural selection, you bite the teeth close and open, its like your eyes are in the mouth (like AVP2 chestbusters) The other thing i want is the menu hud thats like the hellrider's but without the mods button but that i dun really care. The other would be CLICK TO ATTACK. When i first started, i wasn't even sure whether i attacked a human until like i turn to max volume, i think this is the reason why people stick to humans :P So please add the weapon animation for aliens (i beg you). Thanks for reading and i hope theres other people out there who also support this idea :D

Thank you for posting in the right sub-forum.

Anyway, this is slated to be added in 1.2 when it's officially released. Please be patient.

I haven't seen anything about dretch animations, but if they are, that would actually be really helpful, like the OP said. So is Stannum planning anything for that? If he isn't, I could try to make them myself. I know there's audio feedback already (human groans in pain = you bit them), but visuals would still be appreciated.

ok, can you give me the tool thingy app that can code?

Thanks for your support :D If you actually want me to be patient for the 1.2 update. Lets think it that way, normal game: update 4-8 weeks. Tremulous: update 2-3 years. I think i will be switching game since the players of tremulous is getting lower and lower and natural selections 2 is like in beta phase :P

"Normal" game: not free.
Tremulous: free.

And then we can talk about normal free games, but...

1 year i think, i wasted one year to make the game engine and to use their own so total is about 2 & 1/2

They wasted this 2 years to decide which engine to use and finally chose spark

You say that like it means they've only spent 3 years on it. They spent 5 years on it. If they wasted two years, what does that tell you about their work ethic?
