[benmachine]

I volunteer to have a go at coding this, but I can't be confident that I'll be able to.

[==Troy==]

Id helped with some physics of the flight of the model, since its not a lot of coding (just formulas) but I am sure if the code will be written, this part will be very simple.

[rojo11]

im not gonna let you guys forget this idea...

hurry up and finish it!! xD

2 evolves 50 hp bad deal does less damage then dretch worse!
unless its half the size of a dretch its hp is to low.  
if you wont to have 50 hp then make it the size of a granger and make it able to turn invisible.  it would be fair

[Shadowgandor]

dretch attack=high imo .
Atleast headbites

Onoz I broke the chain Now get back on topic!

I'd vote for it to have around 50- 80 HP, with similar damage as the dretch to make up for the more difficult controls (if any).

"If any."

Please explain.
So, are you suggesting that this alien is autopilot?
"NO!!!! Go LEFT!!! I SAID LEFT!!!! AWW!!!! FFS!! U MISSED HIM!!! TURN AROUND!! HES RIGHT THERE!!! NO...THERE!!! RIGHT!!! NO NO!! LEFT A BIT!!! Oh, well done, now were dead! Feel happy now, computer? eh? Happy?"

[The MC Horton Crankfire]

Whatever you initially set the HP to won't be too big a deal, as it'll have to be playtested to perfection no matter what.

Only idiots say "stupid" as an insult, so therefore...

[Redsky]

xD dont call others(and yourselfs too) idots, "who is an idot" is not the topic
sorry for not posting- been sick, been lonely, been away from PC

==Troy==, benmachine: i will send you PM this weekend to tell you more things that you should know and to discuss some things...

and about hp and so on... it may change while testing it so no big worry.
The MC Horton Crankfire is right
PS: i think it wont be smaller than basilisk(im talking about walk mode not flyight mode)

[Shadowgandor]

hey now, don't get sick before you have finished this project :O

[Redsky]

Ye-s! I finaly manage to finish animations
I will put download link to demo video later(whan i will do a quick painting), until then i will just tell you about frame layout:
1-31 walk forward
31-1 walk backward
32-62 walk to the left
62-32 walk to the right
63-83 jump
84-104 float(normal jump)
104-124 landing(after jump)
125-135 attack1
136-146 attack2
147-191 gesture
192-233 die
234-274 standing
275-280 change from walking to flying mod
280-275 change from flying to walking mod
281-291 flap wings
292-302 attack3(in midair)
303-343 gliding
oh, forgive me my ortography and language - im so enthusiastic about it.
Now I can say that 50% or more of this project is done.
(bold text-means animations that are not ordinary)

Sweet

[rojo11]

this is gonna be so cool!

i understood none of that xD

it still souns cool though

[Redsky]

Ok, so i did video
If you want to see it(who wouldn't? )than click HERE to download it.
I used olo89's mapping. Enjoy!

PS. i have sended PM to Troy and benmachine hope thay will answer me quickly
(if you cant play the file than click here)

[CreatureofHell]

Cannot play file  :cry:

[E-Mxp]

Looks Sweet, I don't really like the somewhat bright texturing. It just doesn't look like the other aliens, but other than that, Sweet!!!
Keep up the good work!

[CreatureofHell]

Still does not work  :cry:  This time it is to do with the .zip archive

[Redsky]

=.= boy, im not even sure how to send it to ya... oh well... ill try .rar
(try here)

Yes, mapping is not ready... but for now its ok. You can be sure that it will be playing on changed mapping. Glad to hear you like aniamtions.

[The MC Horton Crankfire]

Still looking great, thanks for all the work you're putting into this. But... are you seriously going to call it a Vandal? That just makes it sound like a juvenile delinquent, lol.

Oh, and shouldn't it need a mid-air dying animation?

[benmachine]

Your file upload service seems to be clipping bits off. Try uploading it to www.mercenariesguild.net/files

Yes, I got your PM, but it's quite long :P I'll reply later

[Redsky]

But... are you seriously going to call it a Vandal? That just makes it sound like a juvenile delinquent, lol.

Yes i will . Vandal goes good with marauder, anyway it could also named Harpy(as it goes good with basi and rant), but im not sure for now...

Oh, and shouldn't it need a mid-air dying animation?

nah i dont think so... even if you need it than its just mod change animation+death animation and wont be a problem... oh well... nvm ill check it whan it will be more playable.
uploading done. benmachine, here's a link

[Lakitu7]

Wow, you've finished something concrete that took some effort. Nice. Maybe this will get off the ground.

[UniqPhoeniX]

Nice model, keep up the good work! Animations look pretty nice! :eek:

No for an Adv. version having 8 legs - other Adv. aliens look very similar to normal versions and all have 6 legs.
Maybe give it an electric attack like Adv. Mara, it would be great against jetards.
It should also have a touch damage if high speed/depending on speed like Dragoon's pounce (headbites at high speed ) and
unlimited caustic spit 2-4x damage of Adv. Granger (but about as inaccurate as shotgun and doesn't fly straight).
It should fly much faster then jetpacks (almost as fast as spectator, faster with speed boost and/or diving), otherwise it would be very easy to shoot at and could barely get to jetards before killed.
Walking doesn't have to be fast as this alien is supposed to be used mostly in air (but it would be great to fly through tunnels with pounce ).
Wallwalking... IMO it should be slow. Toggle if fly is off with c.

On ground pounce should give more speed right away while in air you have to gain speed by holding boost for a few seconds. Both could use jump.

About glide... I think it should glide in the direction you were last moving (if flying is enabled) with the speed you have gained, and if you press a button then it turns that way (if look down and press+hold forward then it "dives"; will lose speed with fast turns). If flying is disabled it would fall like other aliens, otherwise it would be a bit difficult to stay on the ground.
IMO, noise should be caused only by walking, pounce and speed boost.

So, basically: LMB is main attack, RMB is electric attack, MMB is caustic spit. F is gesture.
on ground: moves like dretch (even wallwalking) except holding jump works like goon pounce (+noise).
in air: Exactly like as spectator except won't stop by itself, hold S to slow down (min speed is not 0) and starts to lose height with slow speeds. Gains speed with flying down, so diving with speed boost is very fast.
(moving mouse turns left/right, looks+aims up/down;
WASD fly forward(where aiming)/accelerate to normal speed, glide to side, slow down;
jump makes moving/acceleration faster (+noise).)

I also like the name Harrier most.
