    Correction, look at Spyder! Killed 3 times! (actually, only once, but 3 shots of it) <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, and by a *tripmine*.  Spyder, were you sleep-wallclimbing or something?  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Wow, looks awesome.  Go action shots!  One question, what's with all the dashes before the player names, as in "--------SpyderMonkey"?

    Names were buried on the left side of the screen. We had to push names and text to the right some. So we used dashes.

    "Ok - well, I don't have time to fix it right now, just add a couple dashes on it or something."

    I see that blood. It's good that the gore isn't being <i>completely</i> removed from the game. Keeping with the realism is a good thing.

    Here's some more shots from this weekend, for you hungry NSers.

    <b>MonsieurEvil and his power-mad TSA team make sure the aliens can NEVER build a hive in the engine room again.</b>

    Ph34r m3h!!!

    Those bubble icons are from hivesight and parasite: the white ones show your alien brethren in hivesight, and the yellow/red ones show marines that have been parasited by a Lev1 on a scouting mission and can now be tracked.

    Awesome hud <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->  Do the icons on the alien hud have any kind of special meaning?  The bars on the far left and right seem to be some kind of meter.

    Yes, they do...

    Alien HUD still very work in progress. But you will see a lot of progress on this very, very soon. Stay tuned...

    Lol funny stuff Silverfox, funny stuff

    I'd just like to comment that bob looks absolutely amazing in-game!  THIS is what we're to expect for bobs everywhere.  By the way, is that his finalized size, or will he be getting smaller?
    Off Topic Disagree Agree Awesome
  • MonsieurEvilMonsieurEvil Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 4Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Smaller. Think about houndeye height, a bit longer. right now his viewheight is low, but his model will shrink (and stop hovering).

    is the alien flayra is using BOB? Thought that is the builder.
    Or did i oversee some BOB? <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    The alien that Killtoy is in the action shots is Bob. Flayra in some of those shots is a builder (like the one with the two lasers), and I don't know what he is in the others. You can't tell by the arms, because that's the same weapon model for every weapon in the game for the aliens (for the moment only).

  • KilltoyKilltoy Join Date: 2002-03-28 Member: 358Members
    And another bit of info for those new to NS is that the congregation of builders around the nozzle in Flayra's screenshot are all in placeholder garb. When complete, they will be using the models for the level 2 "Pudgy" that can be seen...   well, here. (I couldn't find an exact location to point them to, so I linked.)
