Nail Grunt (Skin)

[Amon26]

Your song is perfect Quake material!

The new nailgrunt scream is good, but still too shrill IMHO. *puts gauze in my ear-canals as i type this* maybe if the high end were lower and you added some nice chaotic filtering to it? Like the larynx detatched from the mouth, just bellaring out an agonizing, wet and gurgly cry from hell.

I have Ableton and FL studio so I'll be playing around with this a bit too. Please don't take my criticisms negatively.

I'm digging the idea of making some new kind of mission pack! Ive been playing Travail a lot lately and having a blast, it would be rockin' to get some mappers interested (Amon cant code/map worth poop).

I'll do everything I can

I also think we should all team up and make a new mission pack with these monsters included! theres actually a song demo I made a while ago that I was going to use for this other game called Egoboo. it was deeply inspired by the atmospheric sound Trent Reznor used to make the Quake soundtrack. I would find it most fitting with a new Quake map with a very dark environment along with the nail grunts. tell me what you think

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)

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

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!!!!!!!!!

[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)

long droning one, creepy but maybe too long

a short version, used maybe as an "alert noise"

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

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

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).

[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

[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

[Amon26]

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

[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

[Trickle]

I love it
