Aliens Pack

l0tus · March 2005

yeah, it has nothing to do with your work...but i have to agree: i dont like it. its the subject matter, i suppose. i'd rather see a proper version of that avp shotgun (one w/strap), because this just looks too plain. also, the mossy was hicks 'personal' toy that he kept around for 'close encounters,'...not standard issue. therefore, liberal use of artistic license might be in order... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

I would keep both and give the people who use this pack a choice between the two since you have already made it.

StarStarGrizzly · March 2005

I could rig up a shotgun on the bottom of the pulse rifle...but I'd like to try to make that the gl.

I dont really like that shotgun that was in the AVP game, besides as a skinning point of view Id rather not touch that mesh. Any other suggestions?

chubby · March 2005

I would stick with the one you already have if you don't want to do both shotguns.

Necrosis · March 2005

What I would do, as I'm a genius, is make the peewees all a rather generic shotty, and have the v weapon as the Hicks family heirloom.

That way noone else SEEMS to be using it, and you can tell yourself you're using the proper one.

Well, I thought it was clever.

l0tus · March 2005

i <i>wish</i> i had a generic mossy p_model. all the ones i've found share the same number of polies as their damn v_model counterpart. optimization, anyone?
one of the things i liked about the avp pack was that the p_models were actually low·poly -like the defaults- yet still looked good. all of these 1k+ poly p_models are a waste of my cpu's limited power...

NEX9 · March 2005

how about the wheel chair shotie in alien rez, looks pritty chuncky sort of like the Q2 shotie

also there's a lot of nice old guns in alien rez, things get mentioned like the drop ship they fly out on you know all the smuggler weapons are from around the same time as ripley fighting da queen

I'm to lazy to post a pic, but I've got a low poly pulse rifle modeled, weighing in at 98 polies for p and w's. I'll include a low poly and a high poly p and w model for all the weapons. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Lets just pretend that there was no aliens 4.... kthxbai (or avp for that matter ause if you want I could make a alien head shield and tail spear for the knife). Edit*

axman · March 2005

looks good for the shotgun, but the wood part looks sorta shiny like its metalic sorta

Chubbieboi · March 2005

StarStarGrizzly · March 2005

Is there anybody who could give me a hand with smoothing my craptastic vp70 i just cant seem to get it >_<

NEX9 · March 2005

yes i know there was no aliens 4 durr 1111!!!11IIIIone111

but was saying the weapons the mercs used were from the same era as ripleys mineing times

read the book, and yes in the book the alien does get down to earth, but its not that stupid half human thing

Necrosis · March 2005

Before you do the alien shield/spear, I would rather hijack you to convert the AvP pred weapons/hands to a more friendly HL format.

Yes, I don't want the nightmare of having to do a predator pack singlehanded.

StarStarGrizzly · March 2005

necro id give you a hand but I'd wanna finish with this pack first. I can be easily distracted, this whole pack started with a distraction of me skinning the pulse rifle.

Could i use this line on textures or just the hands

// 2 skin families
$texturegroup skinfamilies
{
{ "hands.bmp" }
{ "hands_black.bmp" }
}

so theoritically could have multiple skins for the pulse rifle, say changing the plastic colour like the hands are switched white and black

chubby · March 2005

That's a good idea...

l0tus · March 2005

if it works for the hands, i dont see why it wouldnt work for the gun...

Drfuzzy · March 2005

Hmm, but how would you add more than one skin to change? :o

And you can go ahead and send the pulserifle over griz, I got all today and tomorow to animate it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

slayerkl2 · March 2005

abd im bored and got a new gfx card so i can help more. If you give me a damn concept that is.

Black_Viper · March 2005

lol slayer, anyway, hope to see more development on this pack...

Necrosis · March 2005

I would wait til you're finished this one anyway before harassing you, haha.

nogoodnickname · March 2005

i want that nade

Crowe · March 2005

Oh man i'm excited for this....thank god a vp-70.....i have 1 suggestion for the player models....try to make the heavies look like vasquez and drake, you know, smartgunners...not they're faces obviously, i just mean they're armor was differant than the colonial marine regular....even if its the same armor just skinned black or something...that would be so sweet....oh and l0tus, i agree...alien resurrection and avp were teh sux...Oh, and i've been wanting a nade launcher that works from the actual pulse rifle nade launcher forever...man this rules...

Necrosis · March 2005

Drake as HA? The pair of them hardly wore armour, it would be ridiculous.

chubby · March 2005

No kidding, that would be very rediculos.

sheena_yanai · March 2005

extremely ridiculous

...cant even remember that one of them was even that big <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Hawkpulse · March 2005

Actually in AvP 2 they had the power armor called "Alice"

Crowe · March 2005

Well, i see you all LOVE my idea....

ppls had done this way back in 1.0

For drake HA...
My DVD's @ my friend't home so I can't check about it

I don't see any major different between smartgunner, nadespammer and Harrison <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' />
