MrSocks · March 2005

it was always kinda hard to see when an egg was dead or not, kind of thing where you would shoot it again just to make sure. the old death animation was just the egg sort of deflating if i'm not mistaken, this could help quite a bit ^_^

edit:// applying fadelook texture ftw

Obst · March 2005

Open the ns.ps with a texeditor.
Main NS dir.

Quaunaut · March 2005

Yay! I hope the NS devs implement this. I've been wanting it forever.

Necrosis · March 2005

Going to do this for the egg from the Alien films?

Drfuzzy · March 2005

I think I'll add all these effects to the alien models, someone host the aliens movie models and I'll do it for them too <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Necrosis · March 2005

I've already got them hosted in nice places, all hail my sig.

Hey actually, if you do it, send me the zip, I'll shove your name on the ever growing credits list and I can release it as my aliens pack version.........eeerm.... six?

Otherwise, no stealing my precious packses!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

It's fine by me, go right on ahead.

Ooh... exploding...

Drfuzzy · March 2005

This post no longer needed.

Necrosis · March 2005

Cheers fuzz.

Was kind of hoping to keep them secreted away until I could update my readme, password the pack, etc.

You know how funny I am about pay sites getting the work and all.

NINJA EDIT -

The Alien Egg is on armlab and t2k iirc.

Tell me, whats this acidrocket for??

Necrosis · March 2005

I've got it.

Just need the Alien Egg done, and its not really under my guardship, hehe.

I haven't figured out whats wrong with the Drone/Skulk. Same with the Hive, it HAD been fixed but appears to have unfixed itself.

Much tinkering is needed, I need a free weekend to go through all the anims comparing... which first means I need to get a copy of the normal skulk/hive as I don't appear to have made a backup, for once.

l0tus · March 2005

could we get one that 'bursts' when it successfully hatches, as well...?

Pithlit · March 2005

I would think that the splat when the egg is killed is too large, you donßt kill it with nades everytime, but the splat looks like it. make it smaller, mabe 1/4 of that, and 1/2 of the current if it hatches.

Necrosis · March 2005

Anyone doing this for the default aliens btw.

I'd love to but atm I'm fixing my Aliens ones because the skulk death anims are completely borked. I think I must have uploaded an old one that I'd been tinkering with.. doh!

PRTe · March 2005

finally got around to trying it... i thought the splat would be bigger but heck it rocks.
it would be interesting if this were implemented for all the other aliens. but i currently use the default alien models which are edited to move their mouths when the player is using voicecomm like in cs and i don't wanna lose them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

This would probably require dev intervention. There's no 'hatch' animation, and without that, there's no way to link in an event.

It's really easy to add a 'death effect' onto any model you want (whether they are custom or not).<ol type='1'><li>Decompile</li><li>Open up the resulting QC file</li><li>Find the line(s) for the death animations (such lines probably include death or die or headshot in the names)</li><li>Add <span style='color:snow'><b>{ event 7000 0 "ChamberDeath" }</b></span> to the end of each of those lines (ChamberDeath for a small splatter, HiveDeath for a big splatter, or experiment with other effects, which can be found inside the <span style='color:aquamarine'><b>ns.ps</b></span> file, in your NS root folder)</li><li>Recompile using the revised QC file</li></ol>
<span style='color:gold'><b>edit:</b></span> Two versions of the splattery egg are now available. Wide-area splatter version (the original), and a reduced splatter version (for easier post-match clean-up).
As an added bonus for both versions, egg_die.wav will now play when the... well... egg dies. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />
(the WAV file has always been part of the default NS install, but it normally doesn't play; probably just a trivial oversight by the devs).

File's getting too bulky for forum upload. Leech the file from <a href='http://sjc.edu.hk/~verthandi/eggsplode-v2.zip' target='_blank'>here</a>.

When ever i download the original egg explosion, the zip is empty. Even when I download it from nsa.

l0tus · March 2005

that's a problem on your end. firewall, or something...
