I think i'm changing the art direction of the mod . To a more realistic feel

[John.d.h]

Err... isn't the art like halfway done already?

[Fluffy203]

Nothing i can't redo , i want it better looking than what it is and to do this would have to have more detail which requires the realistic prespective or i would stay with what we have 

[John.d.h]

Okay, for everybody still interested in helping, here's what we have (at least partially) done:

• Drone
• Extractor - not sure what this is for
• Factory
• Generator
• Invader
• Invasion Base
• Jumper - scrapping this and using it to make the Crawler
• Killbot
• Mothership
• Space Port
• Tripod
• Skimmer - needs texture
• EMP Bomb - still need to finish the texture

and here's what we still need to do:

• Exo Suit - alien in powered armor, armed with a flamethrower or similar weapon
• Reclaimer (rename?) - alien with an energy bazooka
• Examiner - medical unit with a toxic needle attack
• Crawler - mechanized artillery unit
• Weapons Center - researches upgrades
• Sounds
• Icons
• Some animation/texture tweaks and improvements
• Destruction models

[Fluffy203]

Extractor - not sure what this is for

There is a bug right now with units that are biger then 1 cell map, they can't harvest resourses unless the top left corner is tuching the resourse.

This, and other size > 1 worker bugs, have recently been fixed in GAE.

I'll take a swing at the exosuit(sounds fun!).

Cool.  What I'm picturing in my mind is kinda like a cross between this and this, but with more of a spacesuit-like helmet.  You're free to use your own imagination, though.  I'll PM you a link to the files we have so far.

Edit: Okay, sent. /Edit

So these are humanoid aliens?

Not like things in Crysis? Those would be cool, their exosuits(also called Hunters) are so awesome!

[John.d.h]

I've never played Crysis, so...

Take a look at the "Invader" unit in the archive I sent you.  That's what they currently look like.  However, I'm thinking of redoing that one and going with a more traditional "abductor"-type alien look (i.e. gray skin, big head, big eyes, yadda yadda).

I've never played Crysis, so... Look

Then you should. By FAR the BEST FPS GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED! Great storyline too. I recommend wearing headphones for the awesome and realistic sound/volumetric effects!

(Sorry for OT...)

I'll be taking a nice detailed look through everything in that archive within the next few days.          About the hopeful new alien "abductor" look.....................................

[ElimiNator]

Is it free... Or not.

[Gabbe]

seriously crysis has been the best graphical game for years and you haven`t even heard of it? it is sold at stores but it has been pirated sick.

I have already posted in the "report games" topic, OT end

[wyvern]

Is this mod/faction dead , i finished most of the priest model

[ultifd]

Hmm...well, Fluffy hasn't been here much for a long time...and the last few posts were of OTism ...
Probably not dead, but... well I am  on this.

[John.d.h]

It's... hibernating.  Basically what happened is Fluffy decided to work on something else, incorporating the WW2 humans and a different set of aliens, but I still have the alien models from this project, and I'd be glad to finish it up with some help.  There are really only a few models left to do before it's done.  I'm just a bit too busy to do any modeling/texturing/animating or anything like that.  If you want to pitch in, we could have the faction done pretty fast.

[wyvern]

Are there any models or xmls to do, those are the only things I know how to do, the ww2 humans are off then

[John.d.h]

Yeah, we still need models for (I think) four units.  Two are humanoids, one's a vehicle, and one's a structure.  I'll send you the files we have so far and some concepts to work with for those if you're interested. (By the way, do you know how to do shape keys?)

[wyvern]

I'll do the vehicle or the building, I'm not quite confident with humanoids , what do you mean if I know how to shape keys and will the humans stay a faction or not, if they will I'll send over the priest model soon

[John.d.h]

Fluffy's working on the humans as part of his mod, but I don't really know anything about it.  They're not a part of GLADE's project anymore, so you'll have to ask him if you want to help with that.  I think I'll do the vehicle tonight myself, since I just got a really good concept of it, and I'll PM you the files and the two building concepts.  (Yeah, it's two now.)

Edit: Sent.  You've got mail.

[wyvern]

Thanks I got it and the models should be done soon

[John.d.h]

Okay, cool.  I just finished modeling and rigging the vehicle, so I should be able to finish that up within the next couple days.  Whenever you finish something, just PM it to me.  We're trying to keep everything a surprise for the moment.

[wyvern]

Sure
