The Arch Heinous - Under Revision.

Post by **solarsnowfall** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 10:45

I was never entirely satisfied with how this turned out. I'm currently in the process of gutting and rewriting most of the Arch Heinous's attacks and behaviour. Asside from fleshing out a few animations, there isn't going to be a lot of new gfx for you "new sprites!" junkies. Other than the core properties (health speed ect) nothing will remain the same. If I can do everything I want with this, I'll have created something very special. Stay tuned.

[OLD POST]

This is an Arch Vile on steriods. He's a bit larger, and a lot tougher. Other than his initial appearance, he acts distinctly different from your typical Arch Vile. Features:

Long, medium, and short ranged attacks.

At long range he's got three attacks. He can "summon" a black hole, that showers comets at his unfortunate foes. He can hurl a huge fireball that sends a wave of fire in all directions on impact. Or, he can summon a huge slow moving seeker meteor, that can be shot down, wich shakes the earth on impact.

At medium range, he hurls a smaller/weaker/much faster meteor at his victims.

And at short range he can torch you with fire, freeze you with ice, or hit you with a noctious poison attack. All three attacks are acompanied with new sprites.

As a defensive feature, he can protect himself with a green force field/dome that reflects enemy fire.

And finally, he's accompanied with an unseen helper. It's an actor (with a unique combination of flags) that follws the player around. It's important for the use of the Arch Heinous, because it keeps the Radius Quakes (triggered by a few attacks) near the player at all times, so it is always felt/heard. This illiminates the need to keep track of pesky map spots if you want this guy to rome about your map.

I'll see about posting the Decorate entry here, when it's more complete. The decorate entry is a wopper, this is easily the most sophisticated monster I've ever seen/made.

Some screenies.

Two words:

HOLY... CRAP...

How on earth do you mange the frame jumps?? :S :S

Post by **solarsnowfall** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 11:57

Bloody trial and error for the most part. I've got a lot of simpler monsters, that have ranged attacks, so I went through most of the developmental turmoil with them. Started with the ranges, and the rest sort of fell into place. One of the funniest bugs it had, was when I was working on the shield. It has a small chance of repeating the shield routine, and when I first put it in, it would go straight to the death state if you shot it.

The real pain in the butt, was the ArchQuake actor (at the bottom of the lump). I had a more preferable set up, that did a better job of keeping the actor on the players position, but it would cause you to leave trails of blood decals on all the walls you touched.

I'm just about ready to upload the "final" version of the ArchHeinous, but if you want to play around with another monster I made with multiple attacks, you can check this one out. Even comes with a nifty demonstration

download doesn't work

EDIT: I tried it with IE, and it works. It just doesn't work with FF

Post by **solarsnowfall** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 5:29

???? It worked for me. Did you get a 404 or what? It's in RAR compressed format, so you do need WinRar

It appears as code: Using save link as works, though.
