Xenomorphs and more, just need someone to implement!
« on: June 15, 2017, 09:13:41 pm »
Hey Fellas..

I know that most of you don't like Xenonauts for some reasons.. but i gave my 2 years to mod it to create a huge mod X-Division. It's about 4.5 GB now.. lol.. anyway...

The game visual style is just as same as UFO because it's a ufo clone (as the camera angle and such) and as an 3D animator, i created many new creatures for it.  Those includes nearly all main xenomorph types, robotic dogs, strange space animals, cyber rexes :)..

Here you can see a screen shot of xenomorph mission at Xenonauts.

So these creatures got all the sprites for 8 directions with all the moving/attacking/death animations. I thought that we can use them at Xcom. BUT i am not so good at working so little images and transfering them to the Openxcom format. So if there is someone willingly, i am ready to share all the sprites with anyone.

I made an example image for creatures with UFO palette used. I got much more better resolution versions of them so it could be maybe much better under a good editor at transforming for xcom format and size.

I guess that there should be some people who wants to fight against xenomorphs here :)

Here is the download link for Xenos and robodog... robodogs are special to me because i want to use them at our side too!

Hey,

Wow, 4+Gb, that sounds like a lot of work.

So if there is someone willingly, i am ready to share all the sprites with anyone.

Just share it and keep it accessible to anyone. Someone will come by and make something out of it eventually. Besides, this way it won't get lost when inevitable happens.

Defo post a link to the files :)

From the sprites you posted it looks like they may not fit within the 32x40 pixel frame limit for a single unit but could fit in an HWP one?

How did you model and rig them to begin with?

I will upload them somewhere and will put the link here soon.

I did not model them, I animate and render.

Drages I've watched a couple of videos today and I must say it is very impressive!

For xenonauts does it use sprites and if so are they stored as spritesheets in the mod files? If so we could take a poke around :)

Yes it's all sprites. I got the original sprites without sheets. I got more then the mod have because I could not add all to the mod.

So had a quick crack at this tonight ...

Needed a reduction of .35 to get the sprite down to 32 pixels wide.
