Their The Pulse Rifle Firing Sounds(i think ya want to use BlackPanthers Pulse Rifle Model)

    I have 3 NS folders, sort of.
    I have 3 copies of the models, sounds and sprites folder.

    Heh, that's a good idea, for easily switching between replacement packs. I do agree the skins look great, but maybe put a little blue in their tint.

    nah...silverish blue or bit brown in the chest area and head would be nice..

    Anyone not like the animations? Odd, noone said that in my thread with their original release.

    By the way, for those of you with chronic vision problems, get a friend with 20 20 vision to use the convenient search function to uncover my full pack which includes working alien v models and player models for ALL alien classes.

    That'll look a bit nicer than the normal kharaa models until such time as the improved pack is released.

    I like the little ridges on the back of the models now, nice touch. Shame the runner is black, I prefer the one coloured like the AvP model. But thats me. Gorge inner mouth is a bit bright compared to it's v-model (both yours and mine).

    I think I'll be using these now on, except the runner (because I'm a sad man who loves the red runner). Hehe, actually I've hackjobbed my v models already, since they just use the runner teeth and hands in most cases!


    Good job!

    I bet you could just switch the textures over, although I don't see how you can possibly like a brown alien along with the other black ones.

    Just seems too out of place in my opinion, and the only brown one I've seen in the movies is the one Ripley sort of produced in Resurrection. Her genes anyways.

    Great contribution to the topic man!

    If you look really closely, near the end of the movie (when his carapace hardens and slime recedes) Alien3, the Runner Alien is much more reddish-brown than a normal alien... however, the lighting isn't great and he's not reddish brown for long enough for you to notice. But he's definitely not as red/brown as the one in AvP2.

    Also, I hear that skulk footsteps are a real pain in the arse? I'll host a pack right quick for footsteps u can hear. Give me a few.

    Edit:

    Here are the louder walking sounds. They are 400% louder than those ripped from AvP2 so it should be loud enough, but not too loud as to give away the position of a skulk (unless the sound it drowned out by something else). Tell me if it's still too quiet.

    Also, the new skins are 5% brighter and +5% blue tint (last time there was 0%)

    Just an update on my progress.

    Also, I fixed an annoying transparency glitch on the Drone model where a line along its chest would appear transparent.

    Great work Hitman. For my part, I have no trouble hearing the footsteps. I hear them just enough. I think they greatly enhenced the atmosphere for when I'm playing marines. With the originals sounds and my headphones, I could pinpoint EXACTLY the location of the skulk. Now, it's sounds more "vague". I get so stressed when I hear "fipfapfipticfapticfap" HISS ! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    What would be great to add in the sounds is the queen breathing (instead of the current hive sounds). If it was replaced already, it's possible I didn't notice, but I'm pretty sure it's the normal hive sounds.

    To do list : maybe add mp3 to the music folder (alien music).

    On the models : great work. I especially like the onos. Very well done. The queen hive is good looking too. The only one that bothers me a little is the fade. He seems to "tight" if I can say. I don't know if it is possible, but do you think animating the tail is possible ? Not just going a little back and forth, but making circles and big 0. I don't know if you can picture what I'm saying.

    Continue your work. I and a lot of other people enjoy them.

    P.S.
    English is not my first language. Don't bother pointing out the errors.

    I honestly didn't even notice!

    I didn't necessarily like the default Drone animations, either. I wish it were more crouched and more like the one in AvP2 but I just skin, I don't animate. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> However, I still have to give Daph daps on being uber leet and converting it all.

    And yeah, I will be adding hive sounds (a.k.a. ambient sounds) later on, and even official AvP music! Very, very high-quality music, too, so I will probably include it in a different file than B2 itself.

    An upate coming along: I've reskinned every model but Gorge and Onos... after a quick break I will tackle them. I've centered the head skin on all models, as well as added 5% (10% in some cases) blue tint to all textures, fixed Drone chest glitch, and fixed up a new head skin that suits the contrast/tint better, and looks really neat (still not a final version, though). Also, all models are 5% brighter so you don't find yourself seeing a black blob running accross the screen, you can see a lot of the exoskeletal bones/bluish tint in some dark areas.

    Edit: Also, I made the egg darker and a bit bluer, to look like it does from Alien and Aliens.

    Hehehe...
    I was hiding in one of the combat maps (rebirth, I thin).

    Tempest was playing in the background as I walked slowly, looking around, listening for sounds.

    Not a damned thing.

    Then I went trough some doors that lead me into a very dark room with a neonlight turning most of the room blue.
    Behind some walls in a pitch black shadow I hid.

    I heard some alien footsteps, held on tight to my mouse and didn't move an inch, trying to spot a potential cloaked alien walking towards me.

    Not a damned thing.

    As I breathed out in relief, A sudden "CRACK!" followed by a hiss struck me through my head, as I just died to a runner who bit me from above with a focused bite.


    I don't know whether I should hate you, or love you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I love you.

    Brig's models go awesome with marines and this, makes it feel like a corss between the AL|EN Marines and the TSA Marines (sorry thats a lil advertisment) but anywho Awesome pack, i love you.

    now all's we'd need are all the sprite replacements, right? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    you know, AL|ENS x-hairs, minimap, maybe replace the 3 hives sprites with alien queens, and a nice HUD with health displayed as a blue shrinking egg-bar like in AvP/AvP2 (O.o) and weapons displaying proper AL|EN wps...

    too much you say? naaaaaaaaaaa... ye think?

    You can find a pretty sweet AvP2 soundpack <a href='http://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/games/nofrag/ns-fr.com/customs/autres/Soundpack-AvP2.zip' target='_blank'>here.</a>
  • BloodySlothBloodySloth Join Date: 2003-08-27 Member: 20284Members
    it would be awesome if you made the transparent "cowl" on the aliens' heads like in the first movie, with a skull underneath. I dunno if its possible to do that without making it look like its glowing though.

    well, let's see what's in store for the beta2 version...

    I wonder if the AL|ENS' mouth from AvP2 could be converted? You know, when you point at a victim's head, and the mouth sticks out? and maybe the attack anim could be the "mouth lunge"? <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I have a CD of like 10 or 15, so I'm going to chose random ones from that that suit the Aliens atmosphere.

    But thanks anyway, I always like contributions.

  • Hitman047Hitman047 Join Date: 2003-05-23 Member: 16646Members
    Not even close to done with the marine pack yet, man. However I do have a sweet pulse rifle sound.

    Also, update on Beta2, It's skins are about 75% done, sounds are about 10% done... I'll add it to my signature.
