Nail Grunt (Skin)

[Amon26]

I had this idea for a while, you might have remembered this doodle from a few years back.



Hah, see? I CAN draw

Well, using Raven's compiled skins for Qrack I did some work and this is what I've made so far. I might try and do the maw in the abdomen.. but that would be tricky!

This would ideally be used for someone who is making a Mission pack and wanted a modded grunt with a different appearance. But If you're liking the idea of shooting a different looking grunt, give it a download too!

Is that the stage between a grunt's transformation into a shambler? a Grumbler?

[Amon26]

Could very well be! Maybe he should shoot lightning?

[Trickle]

I love it

[Trickle]

it should be a completely new monster, if you get to close to him..he growls fast and sucks you into his chomper stomach..then you gib! of course he'll shoot nails as well

[Amon26]

Ohh god, if only i could do coding! Anyone up for taking a crack at this?

[Amon26]

Maw has been stretched open a little more, for that "permanent scream" appearence. Armor has been darkened and given a greenish/tint.



added abdominal maw. nomnom. Still needs some work tho

[Trickle]

what else would make this eerie bad ass is if once he spots you, he makes a killer scream! =]

nice update, now his teeth face stands out from the shambler one

[Trickle]

ok, I even made a scream that I think would match this. I got the source from http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/soundfx/human.shtml. its called annoying.wav, its like a chick screaming mad loud. I of course edited it and heres the version I made. http://www.box.net/shared/gogaspj8k8

to make it more freaky and to match with the sound better. I think this nail grunt should run 4x as fast as a regular one at you.

I am going to go talk to Avirox about this monster, he could probably code it. I bet he would even want to add it to the MegaTF coop server on Quakeworld!

also if thats really the case, there should be another skin for the model with the teeth chomped(if we are going to do the instant gib up close chomp attack).

[Amon26]

Woah, way to make a sleep deprived man pee all over himself!

Great wav tho! Would you mind if I play with it a bit? I like the shock value, but the shrill might get a little grating if you had to take on more than one of these at once.

But yeah, if he wants to add it to MegaTF that would rock soo hard! I didn't even know skins could animate on q1 models (regarding the 2 frame biting)

hmm maybe slowdown the scream so it is a deeper male voice? as in-game if i had to play a level and hear that constantly, i dont think i would play that level anymore

long droning one, creepy but maybe too long

http://rapidshare.com/files/97625463...ream3.wav.html
a short version, used maybe as an "alert noise"

both are less shrill, but maintain the same eerie effect. I hope you enjoy

[Amon26]

This is fun!





Still playing with this. Faceless scrag. Maybe THIS one should shoot lightning? But for a shorter duration than the shambler? (less damage)

[Canadian*Sniper]

There's unused frames from the grunt and scrag mdls. New attack patterns could be implemented. Maybe the eyeless scrag dive towards locations where players made sound. If the scrag touches the player, BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

go right ahead, yeah. q1 models can have more than one skin and can be coded to switch to the second when something happens. =]
