Fixed some graphical glitches, and made the tanks look better, final versions of these two rotations!




EDIT - quick size comparison

Dang, 75, these look amazing! And I love the signature image.

thanks!

that's the title pic of the game, along with its M_DOOM graphic

I'm loving the title screen.  Would you consider putting up a bigger version without the writing and Skulltag logo so that I can make it my sexy new desktop??

I'm desperate to try this out but I'm having problems with my net connection and can't seem to play any game, not just ST, online without serious lag... Feckin' corporate ISP's!

It should look ok in game

It's actually the one of the ending pictures from chex3.wad (the lump is called PFUB2). you see it when you complete episode 3. Here's the picture, it's pretty low-res, though.

I like it better the way you did it (When you flipped the picture horizontally)

I was looking through my old topic

If the hand gets better, I think this zorcher will be usable.

That's the plan!

Hand V 1.0



very simple

Hand V 1.1



Chexter no longer looks like he is a simpsons character, and I got rid of Chexter's amazing stretchy thumb (see the last one )

Hmmm... I know he's got gloves AND sleeves... maybe I should make his sleeves black since I made his gloves blue...

Unless he's going to the princess ball, I don't think I can keep his gloves like this, hmmm... maybe some fake blue leather?



Oh no! Somebody burned his oven mitt! Maybe the zorcher is really warm, so he has to carry it around like that. Real tough guy, I tell ya

hmmm... why can't I stop drawing oven mitts and boxing gloves? I think I know what the melee attack will be, though!

Oh no! Somebody burned his oven mitt!

drawing is so much easier for me now. It's amazing what you can do with a year of practice.

QFT!

*Slaps forehead*  I knew I recognised it!  Thanks for the heads up.

Epic flemoid!
but, what does it replace (or is it all new)?
Is it melee or ranged attacks?

[75]

it's a new one. It's going to have ranged attacks, but there's going to be more forms than this one.

It's probably going to be something like the mancubus. Its attacks will move very fast (I might slow down the quadrumpus' slime balls) and the slime will be powerful.

Another form will fire flem micro missiles and a ground hugging attack similar to the bruiser demon or QG's emperor ceruleus.

Finished my edits to the radsuit skin

Player.ColorRange 192, 207




It was crucial to recolor part of the sprite because there was literally no good color range for it; now the middle part recolors.


Also, I added some generic zorch pain sprites that can be copy/pasted onto any skin to add that zorch effect, and some clean radsuit skin pain sprites.

Nice Job!

I wish I knew how you do the magic that is the zorch effect...

[75]

It's actually quite easy

Start out by drawing some slightly dark colored pink, then draw some white lines for the sort of "lightning" it has, lighten up the pink background near the white lightning to make it look realistic. After you do this, draw a red outline around the entire pink area.

Something to consider - do not make the lightning curved, and be sure that both the red outline and the white lightning is always only one pixel thick. The more you branch the lightning, the better it looks.

Also, remember to make the zorch effect visible from all angles, you will need to be creative, even put it on the feet of the actor if you need to.
