<div class="IPBDescription">What's going on, What's gone wrong...</div> Well after ripping my hair out over eclipse and hera. it appears that the 2 maps have their main HIVE creep textures embedded into the bsp - therefore, totally ignoring the wad file. this will cause some interesting issues with the rest of the map.

there are a few textures in these maps that call out for the NS.wad to get Hive creep textures. so it is looking quite odd. you see the black shiny BIOMECH mettalic hive creep, then you see green. does not make for a fun ordeal in the 2 maps. but if you don't care. fine I will still go ahead with it.

please tell me what you think and what you would like done....

OK I have decided to complete it seeing is HERA is unaffected really and that small area in the maintance ares and one other is all that is affected in Eclipse

I think you guys can live with it - I hope HEHE

it is really too bad about this I created a EGG chamber wall image that would have been perfect for this room

    While its a bit of a pain I'd just suggest just releasing edit map specific wads along with the main one.

    Ooo, thats a pain. The new texture looks really out of place, seems 2 dimensional compared to the original for some reason. Are there any shots of levels with all of the new textures functioning? I think this could be a problem once the NS mapping community gets into full swing. The new maps will all probably have included textures. I bet you could find some mappers willing to make Aliens specific maps. Remember, unless you have black alien models installed then the creep won't work as camoflauge.

    That's cool, so this is going to replace the .wad that has the regular alien sluggish stuff, with Aliens same stuff? Schweet!

    ok...
    currently I do have pics of decent completed areas but as i take them and observe what's needed and where - i get back into the edit. remember that pic shown is not a good example of how everything will look I will show you a hive in a future post within the day

    yes this will replace your current wads. I will include both default version and alien version in my installer so you can just click it again and put back the default wads when you want

    this will be accompanied by a boat load of extras as seperate download. Merc's Aliens and a few others with Alien sounds, Hopefully the queen hive with her new sounds, and the set of ALIEN CHAMBER models. Work on the ALIEN egg is good I need to get it animated and then i can slap the skin on.

    currently this is not an available download when it is finished it will be posted here and on my website

    <a href='http://chaos.place.cc' target='_blank'>http://chaos.place.cc</a> - always under construction and not 56k friendly on the site - sorry bout that - workin on it

    PEACE

    WOW I can see why the site wouldnt be 56k friendly. Its barely T1 friendly <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . Pretty nifty site though. I will be looking forward to the changes. I dont think the jacked up textures on the walls is a big deal.

    Well I have to say.....

    with the advent of alot of new mappers coming up with new and exciting maps that have the textures Embedded into the map itself and do no call out to the wad at all. It seems pretty foolish to continue the WAD edit portion of the ALIEN Immersion PACK

    it will only be the current defaults and now even Eclipse is being reworked for the 1.1 CLient side release and I am sure that all the textures this time will be embbedded.

    So I find myself in a Dilema that only you guys can help me out of.


    what do i do.....

    looks like it needs a special version of each custom map.
    OR
    A special wad edit for each custom map that has not embedded its custom textures.
