AliensINV

Oh yeah, heh... forgot about that... How much slower do you want them to be? ATM i think theyre at 660 groundspeed, ive lowered it to 515 and theyre a bit easier to avoid (though they still pounce at light speed) but if youve got a good number in mind ill go with it.

 

[barnEbiss]

Well as long as I can keep a good distance between me and a horde of them I am happy , also can you make there leap a little less far? I have been having them leap at me from over 30 feet away

Looking forwards to seeing the next version

 

[EvilDrWong]

Oh yeah, no problem. I forgot to make gibs pop off when you dismember them, so i fixed that and its a bit easier to tell when youve done some good damage. Im thinking about making custom animations for em, but it seems like thatd be a bit of overkill for just one monster... so in that sense i was thinking of making a few more 'subspecies' of aliens... any ideas, or is that just a stupid idea?

edit: Attached a new version. Slowed em down a bit (maybe too much?) and fixed up a few minor things. Any suggestions?

 

[Dirty_Ape]

I have not tried the new slow version yet but the one I have has the aliens with arms still in gun-holding positions,which does not look too clever.They do kind of look like they are cradling an invisible baby.

Shame since other wise they look superb.If you want a hand animating them ill give it a go,when im not doing Zombies.Male Zombie now being weighted.

Ill watch Aliens a couple times to get a good feel for what it should look like, then ill go ahead and give them new walk/run/attack anims (probably new crouching/crouch attack anims as well, since they seem to love to crouch for some reason ) Ill also give em a Krall styled 'I have no legs' crawling type animation, for when you pop their knees off (right now they just die if you blow their legs off, but its always been a goal to add a crawling anim instead of instant death)
But, TBH, im a crap animator, so itll take me a while

Hey, I just tried the latest version and had an awesome match. Great work, keeps getting better. Using the pulse rifle against those aliens is very cool

Also, you should make a new post about it on the official User Maps & Mods forum, if you want, so more people can try it out and make suggestions.

 

[EvilDrWong]

Ive wanted to register at INA for a while but sadly, i cannot because they frown on my hotmail account If you want you can make a thread there and if anyone suggests anything i can try and take care of it in a timely manner

 

[adv1]

Yeah, I can post it. Send me a PM, with anything you want me to put in the post - ie. description of the mut, screenshots, instructions, links to the necessary files, etc.

Then I can make a new thread about it (and I'll put a link to this thread in as well).

 

[EvilDrWong]

heh, i was kinda kidding. Anyway, id rather the people here like it than have to deal with the incessant bitching whats commonplace over at INA.

 

[adv1]

Er...OK. Shame though, 'coz it means most people will never know about this cool mut except the few who look at this thread.
You could put it up on some of the big file sites like UT2003HQ and UT2003Files.com, that way you could get lots more people to download it without having to deal with forums etc.

 

[Dirty_Ape]

adv1 is bang on.It would be a great shame for this to slip past without as many people getting to enjoy it as possible.

Thats what the on-line community thing is all about.

It is a great mut.The slow version plays really well.More fun than official Aliens games.Just blow away endless hordes of the buggers.I love it.

Everyone likes to kill Aliens.Its genetic xenophobia...or something.Get it out there.

 

[barnEbiss]

If it gets to big it might get “FOXED”
I think just let a few people who want to blast alien bugs in Ut2k3 know about it

 

[barnEbiss]

You know what would be great get the queen added in
She should show up as the last alien in the wav and be really hard to kill “that is if you don’t have HE” and should spawn with a primal shriek

 

[barnEbiss]

Last night I took a break from working on my mod, and decided to play a little AlienINV I had killed all the aliens but for one that was hiding somewhere on the map. Then when I came over the sand dune I found him practicing kicking. Strange never seen this before I paused a short bit in my bug hunting to take a screen shot before I blew that bugger away

 

[adv1]

What, you never saw an Alien do kung-fu before?

Nice pic. I gotta say, I'm playing Alien Invasion every day now and I just love it. Great mod.
Alien Invasion + realistic weapons (eg. Remote Strike mod) + Sentinel cannon + UT map remakes = just awesome

Also, I like the idea of a Queen, that would be cool. Imagine if it was the size of one of those flying warlord-things from normal Invasion, and you ran round a corner and found yourself facing one of them

 

[EvilDrWong]

barn: just kicking?! What the hell? were you running Kakutou or somethin? Thats nuts... if i knew they could do that, id make them goosestep around the level, cause that would be humorous.

edit: If I add the queen, itll inflate the filesize a bunch... is the tradeoff worth it? I mean... a big ass alien queen that... queens around... all queeny...

 

[barnEbiss]

Yah go a head add her in
I would love to be able to fight her as the last alien in the wave
And fix those pesky face huggers also so that they really work

Oh and no I did not have Kakutou running I think it was just karma setting in

 

[EvilDrWong]

do this, do that, do my homework. Who am i, your bitch? Id love to fix the facehuggers, but they have no skeleton Ill see if i cant get ahold of EE and try and get the original models off him, and if so, ill try and rig the face hugger.

 

[adv1]

I just tried Alien Invasion with that NightHunters Flashlight mutator on the DM-NH-Asbestos map, and it was damn scary, try it if you dare

 

[barnEbiss]

And here we see aliens doing synchronized swimming
