Aliens and Monsters oh my!?

[[}{] Timur]

This is just a heads up to the lot of ya for a couple mods worth checking out, all of them sharing a few similar themes and all of them coming out soon. None of these are out YET, but all of them have a good amount of work done.

1)Pulse Rifle. Worth investigation, for sure, currently WIP but with good progress.http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=52377
2)Aliens! Check the back of the thread, and see the aliens from Alien in our very own KF! Currently only modedled and rigged, but worth keeping an eye on it.
3)Reavers. These little buggers have gone under the radar, but IF SLAVEK PERMITS IT, I say go for it. He made them for his mission map, and after just playing an older Beta, I can tell you that these would be perfect!
Now, I don't have permission to post pics of the beta here, but I have gathered that these are not top secret unmentionable, so I'll just leave the mention here.

Anyways, just a thought! Happy slaughter! ;D

EDIT: also, that new revolver looks like its worth keeping track of

that's awesome thanks for posting this! I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to KF mods so that is groovy. Also are the Reavers the bad guys from Firefly / Serenity or something completely different?

I'm not sure if I should post these, but since I know that this is not a massively massive forum, I think it's okay.
Also: THESE PICS ARE NOT EVEN FINAL BETA! I just happen to have an older Reaver version here, so lets find out ;D






I hope that clears things up! And, from my testing, I can tell you that these Reavers really have awesome appearance, behavior, animations, and overall quality in-game!

Also, Im in chat with Slavek, and just got permission, so just forget anything I said about that ;

wow Slavek certainly do a good job with that but sadly no firefly . I guess I'll have to go back to watching Dr. Horrible and Castle to see the Malcolm Reynolds. BTW how do they play? Are they like big crawlers or completely different?

they almost seem to play as a mix between gorefasts, crawlers, and something completely different. One noticeable thing, for example, is that they change posture and behavior depending on their targets and distances, which tbh leads to pretty big 'ahhhh shhhhhiiii" moments when you realize the pack is after you and getting into shredding position.
Their smaller elevation adds a crawler-esque feel to them in some ways, as do their pack-hunting (simulating the mission spawns i saw in his pics in that though, as slavek's only missing element is that the current versions don't have regular spawning code and must be summoned)
Their health was a little higher than a crawlers, and their damage was pretty significant. Altogether very balanced, especially if spawned in groups, and also very deadly (getting surrounded WILL lead to a good shredding)

I will plug it into the "this zed only" mut soon for further testing, and hopefully slavek will go full public and you can see for yourself just how awesome these buggers are ;D

Certainly sounds groovy keep me updated please

Long story short (my orig post was somehow deleted accidentally): I discovered a second version of the Reaver, thanks to Slavek. Unlike the other Reaver, which follows raptor-like movements and behavior, this new one creeps about with all four legs cautiously...and then pounces. Its called a Reaver Assassin, and I made the mistake of accidentally putting it into the 'All this Zed Mutator' (which is how I discovered it)
My first pic is an attempt to capture the stalking movement, but that is difficult due to the fact that the experience of watching them stalk you is VERY short lived.


This is an assassin mid-jump


And this is the "Oh FUUUU" image as I realize Im about to get dogpiled

Anyways, this other version I didn't know about previously looks identical to the Assault-Reaver, but the behavior, power, and movement is totally different. As for of you would want it on this server, I'm sure you could pick on, or the other, or both if you want to. Anyways, excellent job to Slavek ;D and I'll update you all if any more comes up

EDIT: note this is with greatly decreased graphics as well
