GLFattyTheGorge · February 2004

OMG <3 WELL WORTH THE WAIT

Hitman047 · February 2004

yup I was talking about this in the construction thread... I just recently got Necrosis' permission to use his fade hands in my next version... which I will make with more sounds and more models/skins (i.e. fade "drone" claws) once I get enough feedback.

BAshh · February 2004

hmm lotsa black. might try it though.

Hitman047 · February 2004

Yeap... the point was to make 'em black. Because (on average, and based on Aliens the movie) they're pretty much colorless. They're completely black and only shiny or chromed on slimy areas (I don't have like 9 years on my hands to make a cool slime-effect, however). So I made them black to look as real as possible. If in the movies they were green or red I could do that, too, but they're black so it also adds to a very creepy effect if there's not 1,000 players on a server. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

textures could use major improvement. those things might as well be greyscale...and hardly greyscale if that. it's all black and white ;cept the teeth. depending on what programs you have at your disposal you could try setting up a scene and adding at least some light in and then baking the light + surfacing tweaks into the texture. nothing is colorless

ya ive been here the whole time you never noticed? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

finaly this thing is done TRYING NOW!

Hitman047 · February 2004

I started out with a very colorful texture, but I removed it all and make it black on purpose... yes I could make it more light, change color, make it purple, blue and cyan with chrome and transparency and weird crap all over it, but the aliens from the movies are basically greyscale as well... again Photorealistic is said for a reason... because it looks like the movies. I'm not concerned with making it all flashy and colorful with crazy textures, I'm concerned with making them look like they do in the movies.

BAshh · February 2004

i do agree with it being photorealisitic but with NS maps being dark enough as they are... meh

Hitman047 · February 2004

I don't find them very dark or scary... but hey we're here for feedback so I've taken in all your suggestions so far (though few) and am contemplating what is gonna be changed in B2. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> Thanks!

NSASil3ntdeath · February 2004

i love it.
bah to the haters..

Hitman047 · February 2004

<3 @ S1L3NT

BAshh · February 2004

i dont hate it. just would make my game that much worse

"hmm i dont remember that part being that dark- **_____ (bit) Bashh**

BloodySloth · February 2004

very cool. The v_model for the skulk seems a bit.. odd to me though.

SWAT_Pointman · February 2004

Hmm I might use GJ anyways.

frostymoose · February 2004

i\ the carapace is more of a medium-dark grey with a touch of blue. everything inbetween is about the same with less blue. The least you could do to create a more realistic effect is make the black lighter especially on ridges on the carapace so the model is more receptive to lighting changes. I'm not complaining, bashing your pack. I'm trying to give suggestions as to how it would be more accurate. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

edit...again: this doesn't apply to the whole thing. Mosts obvious is all the heads and pretty much the whole onos. teeth should be bigger and not dirty looking. they're actually very clear and looks a lot like foggy glass at times

Bigwig · February 2004

Just tried your pack, and all I have to say is that it's AWESOME. Can't wait for the marine stuff now <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

BloodySloth · February 2004

actually, the alien is black in the first movie, turning slightly grey as the movie progresses. The costumes were black in the second movie, and the puppet/suit was brownish black in the third and fourth movie. The bluish tint in Aliens is due to lighting.

Crowe · February 2004

Beautiful. /me uses. Now all we need is a decent colonial marine pack. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

5ive · February 2004

just amazing. the player models are beautiful. i dont bother with the v_ mods though, lol. they're a little silly if you ask me ^_^ but whatever! gg releasing! <33333 w00teh time to play >:F

edit: unless i'm trippin out again, the v_model for the fade is the standard one...hrm....MISPACKAGED OHNOES!%)&!)(*! FIX FIX!

again...it could be me trippin out ^_^ whatever.

editx2: and the sounds are fsckin awesome ^_^

Pharcae · February 2004

At last!
Downloading the lovely models.

ctx · February 2004

I like it for the most part.

The only thing I dislike really is that fact that the v_models are basically the defaults, just with some carapace skin that doesnt look that great on some of them. I really love the Skulk v_ model though. Sounds are great. Goodjob overall.

Here's another mirror, if you update the pack i'll update this mirror as well.

NzNexus · February 2004

Nice Alieens! Nice dark skins!! Omg..Donwloading!

Dillinja · February 2004

You should make the black parts a bit brighter couse dark is allways a bit hard ,or maybe try a very dark blue it will look better ingame couse these are a bit hard to see.

I allready have these models but with a bit coloured skin.

Dark_Soul · February 2004

as said before, i'm not a fan of these "photorealistic" and too dark textures
I prefer the original AVP2 skins, those have more contrast and you can see the detail that's lost on the photoskins

anywayz, it's still a lovely pack and i'm gonna try it out tonight

cyani · February 2004

Gatta question, fade hands are teh standard ones ? iS that an error? or just done on purpose.

nope, ur right. lemme get ready first, then il host mine, or link u at least. bbk in 10

[EDIT] well this'l be faster. ANYONE who wants the alien matching hands click <a href='http://www.thrill2kill.com/ns/alien/alien.shtml#2' target='_blank'>THIS LINK</a> and download the 'fade hand replacement #1'. this mdl is black, the other one is green if that tickles ur fancy.

erm well tbh, i was was gonna mention that they look exactly the same as the ones i already got, so i opened them both up in HLMV. my older ones seem to be browner looking <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /> , compared to the new ones, which have more of a silver sheen to them. tbh i think these new ones might be more visible to the old ones. but then again u might not have the same modles as wot i have/had.

soz for double post peeps <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
