[request] Lots of terrorists!

[Enjay]

They aren't the best looking sprites right enough. I've considered using them a few times myself and then decided to look elsewhere.

[Snarboo]

Would people actually like a mod that has such cheesy-looking enemies in it?

Given the nature of the mod you're making, I'd say they'd fit the theme pretty well. :)

[insightguy]

hey weasel, im noticing a trend here:

First:
"Weasel presents: Nazis!"

Second:
"Weasel presents: Terrorists!"

What's next?
"Weasel presents: Polliticians!"

[wildweasel]

Oh, come on, what are the politicians going to use against the player? Harsh language?

But nah, this is far from being just a re-skin of Nazis, just in case anybody was afraid that'd happen...

[RV-007]

Terrorist could be quite a vague definition. Here are some ideas for sprite submission:

Spy vs. Spy stuff
Bio-suit creeping out of a barrel
Bio-suit creeping out of slime/poop/water
Fog-maker
Ceiling walker (I was about to do that with one of my projects)
Wall-jumper
Suicidal bomber (lol)
Grenade thrower
+Stealth operative
Mine pooper
Item thief
Item bomb (not an item) expert

I wonder if there will be a sprite theme that is considered far-fetched or fictional (e.g. Demons!, 1920s-1990s Gangstas! [good idea here], Jailbreak!, Tyrants!, Dinosaurs!, Pop-Culture!, Emos!, Trees!, Memes!, Pac-Man!, Alien Invaders, Atari!, etc).

[wildweasel]

No, this is as far as the naming scheme will be taken.

[Xaser]

Clearly you haven't read enough Sir Belfin. Politics is a powerful force.

[wildweasel]

Frankly, sir, I'm going to leave the Sir Belfin moddery to the experts. =P

[chopkinsca]

In this topic: we stereotype terrorists.

[Slax]

Speaking of politics...



Anyone wearing a tacky suit is a terrorist. There's an MP5k in there somewhere. Always.



Normalized zombies always seem to be a good fallback point too.

There's an old Dutch school mod with enemies, some in suits, who were meant to be the academic staff and so, forth wielding guns, if that's any help. This was a 1994/5/6 wad IIRC, maybe somebody remembers what it was called? I am sure the name was not obviously non-American/English.

EDIT: This one: /levels/doom2/p-r/phoenix3.zip The enemies are not always good, but if it's just the sprites required, some of them are OK.

The Pie in the Sky GCS came with pretty ideal balaclava'd enemies.

Some of them really are valiant efforts, especially for '95. However...
