<div class="IPBDescription">to replace karraha</div> omg, i've just thought of sumthing gr8. how about machines instead of aliens, like AI droids designed to evolve, kinda like those spider things in stargate: sg1, that r made from tiny bits. egg could be a mass of wires, hive could be a bunch of complex machinery. fade could be terminator, onos could be a ramming tank gorge spit could be a little shard of steel, they could bleed oil.any takers

Yea, I thought of replacing the aliens with robots after seeing the matrix reloaded <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

This would require a massive pack with new models, sounds, and sprites. Even then it would still seem kind of funny with organic wall textures surrounding on the wall next to a machine hive.

That's where someone creates replacement wads for the default textures. It's kinda easy I think. Replace the textures in the wad with what you want, and give it the name of what you want to replace.
The organic wall texture (say, "organic1") would be replaced with a machine looking texture, and named "organic1".

i could reskin the originals to look metalic but hey what a waste of time when everything else is the same.

That would be the greatest conversion pack ever made, as long as a fade is a Terminator. That would be sweet.

Actuall thats the next big project I'm going to work on after I finish the Zergling Im doing right now. I've been planning it for months so I've got 99% of the design work done. I'll try and put up a teaser at some point in the following weeks.

Mr_Headcrab · June 2003

I always thought, with some tweaking, the Jinroh marine released a while ago would make a cool fade.....

Heck, I'd lend a hand, I have tons of mechnical "things" lying around! with some tweaking, the Bipedial Forklift would make a wicked Onos...

This whole robot thing sounds great!

You could also make a robo-scorpian that hovars without flapping!

I was actually thinking about this the other day, but there are a few problems..

For a start, it would represent a <i>huge</i> amount of work to do it right, you'd really have to replace <i>everything</i> on the alien side, I mean, think about it..5 player models, the v models, all the buildings, projectiles, sprites even. You could probably still use the original animations just fine as long as the replacements were modelled to roughly the same shapes, but still, thats a helluva lot of modelling and skinning to do...

Secondly, the green organic infested textures wouldn't really fit.

Someone suggested making replacement wads ( yet more work ) but I don't think it would be as simple as that. Anyone remember ages ago, someone tried to make giger-esque wads to fit with the Aliens pack? I seem to remember that some of the textures are actually embedded in the maps themselves, so it worked fine in some areas , and not at all in others.

Still a good idea though, I reckon and done right, could be very cool indeed. I'd be tempted to avoid Terminators and the like and try and keep it somewhat original, but then I'm not making this so...
