The guy making the voices sounded kinda whiny, but perfectly understandable. It's cool, because EVERY OTHER GAME has guys who sound like they are actors or singers, not regular people. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

for future refernce, I would recommend you do the Alien training the way it was done in starcraft, where you are subtly guided by the hive mind.

Meat_Popsicle · October 2004

lol someone else can do that, the marine one alone was faaaar too much like hard work >.<

Scribbles · October 2004

The sounds need to be less <i>"This is a skulk, it's is agile and deadly"</i>, and more <i>"THIS SUCKER IS CALLED THE SKULK. IT MOVES FAST AND EATS YOU EVEN FASTER. KILL IT ON SIGHT."</i>

They're marines, not scientists. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

I had a script like that with the gruff marine voice, but the forum decided a regular speaking voice was better. The script had to be changed a little to accomodate that.

Besides, You're only hearing a small snippet of the entire thing. Not all of it's that dull. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Forlorn · October 2004

HOLY DAMN This is good. Normally I like to critize stuff but this is way above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. Looks great, the commander sounds real, it just looks perfect. I can't wait to play this.

The only thing this map needs is pimpage!

im_lost · October 2004

Great work.

eXo · October 2004

Dude I just have one thing to say!

Aswome work <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Now we just need to wait for The NS team to implant the map into NS "turtorial" : )))

Anpheus · October 2004

Tell me how you did the skulk in the first place.

I fail to see why you can't just rotate the skulk model with a func_rotating.

Could you please elaborate?

Carti · October 2004

That is one awesome trailer.

The siege placement with the sprites on where to place them is nice..

Very nice work <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

well the skulk is a cycler entity, and func_rotating's can only be tied to world brushes, unless theres another way to do it that i dont know about

It's not possible. The only way to get it spinning is to make a spinning animation for the model itself.

Looks great Meat. Great job till now. If you consider an international set, i may help your sound squad in translating it in French.

lol, which was exactly what i originally said

and while yes it wuld be easy to make the rotating models it wuld add to the file size a fair bit (4 aliens and 4 chambers remember) and its not like u can't walk around the projector anyway ya lazy gits <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

tommyd · October 2004

wow this is really cool. i love the style you are going with. you fit the NS story and theme into the map quite well. how did you do the 'build here' sprites? i assume its custom ents.

will there be an alien tut as well?

Meat_Popsicle · October 2004

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> the 'build siege here' things are actually just funk illusionarys or something set to be visible from just the comm chair, with trigger prescences detecting when theyre actually dropped and a multisource to check when all three have been dropped

A_Boojum_Snark · October 2004

Well as long as you need them new entities, why not get the devs to add in a rotation animation to all the models you need. That way it wont add any noticable file size if its included in the default models <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

the devs havnt actually said theyll do anything specific to help yet, just that theyll "pass the information on to the others" but i dont expect them to add rotating models tbh
