Aliens Mod: Development Thread

If you look for "alienstc" with google, you'll find links to some Duke Nukem 3D pages. They have new gfx of aliens, facehuggers.. Maybe you will find something there that'll interest you.

The graphics and sounds in one rar seem to still be too big for your computer to want (inbox or something limit?) so I'm trying just the graphics this time. If this one doesn't work the only thing I could do would be to put it on rapid share or rip out all of the new sprites and put them in their own wad.

EDIT: I think this one made it! Just less than a MB and it's in there.

Okay, whatever works.

@Antares: I did that, and didn't come up with very much. I've been looking for that DN3D mod, and I can't seem to find it. However, I did find this ominous little page: http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~nv91-gta/quake/

@Phobus: I haven't gotten your file, but I think I'm going to use the graphics from this Duke mod instead, so don't trouble yourself.

@Antares: These things rock! Thanks for the link; this'll really bring up the quality of my maps.

Well it took it's time, but in the end, yes it confirmed that it didn't send. Oh well, the duke mod ones are better anyway.

I have that TC and I have played it for a short while (because it sucks). The sprites there looked like crap. The queen AFAICT is ripped from the Doom TC, the basic alien is just a recolor+slight edit of NEWBEAST and the other 2 aliens I've encountered (the jumping one and the predalien) sucked as well in both spriting and animation. Maybe there are some other monsters that I didn't get to meet but I really can't imagine how they could 'rock'.

Seems to be. I think the Alien Queen in the original TC may have been made using photos of an Alien toy. At least it looks quite like an Alien toy I have.

I think all the graphics were from toys. Look at the way the regular alien sprite seems to tilt and balance.

Dah! I have that same Alien Queen.

I have that figure! Tell me Enjay, is he supposed to squirt water? I keep squeezing the back of his head to no avail.

That's precisely what Justin Fisher says that he used for the Queen sprites.
