The Bug & MAS Mods (Server coming maybe)

[lordician]

Transmission received loud... err, just clear. Yeah.
Also yeah, molotovs are kind of a pain in the bugs.
Also, it is hard not to camp the spawn if the flag spawn is right next to it. ;)

Molotovs being too OP also means we gotta think about the acid spit's working.
Don't worry, we are not yet planning on scrapping it completely.
We are just gonna think of ways to make it work right.

The unannounced server is now closed.
I must say, it went MUCH better then yesterday.

[HanHan13]

I didn't see any difference, though you know the MAS stuff and the bugs better than I do anyway.  I had fun yesterday and today playing on your server. your servers are always fun no matter what.

Most of the changes aren't easy to notice. Here's a copy/past from by to-do list:

_ = not done
+ = done
~ = in progress

~Rebalance the Scarab-Wasp:
   +Increase the size of the Scarab-Wasp
   +Reduce the firing speed of the ASN zappers
   +Reduce the running speed of the Scarab-Wasp
   +Nerf the jump height of the Scarab-Wasp
   _Add damage effects
   _Tie the zappers to energy
   _Nerf the running speed just a bit more


+Slightly shrink the bounding boxes of the Scorpion, Worm, Caterpillar
+Slightly increase the jump power of the Worm and Caterpillar
+remove jumping delay for Jumping Spider

Also bonus copy/past:

~TrenchDig Build Update #2:
   _Add info bricks to spawn rooms (will tell about capping areas, mission objective, etc.)
   +Remove extra upperboundary (it failed)
   +Class Changes: Remove Molotov digger class, remove Firefly Flash weapon for now, give the poor Caterpillar more pills!
   _Update Team colors to brighter versions
   _Fix MAS spawn area display collisions

   _Create a whole new trenchdig area, but keep the MAS Base
      _Bug Hive should be high up, but overall depth should be the same.
      _Add healing areas to both teams
      _Add more capp-able rooms to both teams: Spider Den, Bug nest (earwigs and Fireflys),
        TremorMite area?, Exo-Suit area?, MAS Vault?
      _TremorMite Spawning area will be very deep
      _Premade underground caverns for water areas
      _Main bug hive will be easier to find (larger area, air vents, maybe lights?)

I would have never guessed that you have changed all of that. It looks like you have more stuff to work on than stuff that is already done.

[ArmyUnit]

Yeah, I also put those up so you could see what I have in store. The Scarab-Wasp changes are only apparent if you play as one.

[HanHan13]

Cool, can you show a picture of how different it will look or will I have to wait and see for myself?

[ArmyUnit]

You mean the new build, yes? Sure I'll post pics.

[HanHan13]

I was talking about the scarab wasp but some pics of the new build would be cool.

[ArmyUnit]

oh

There's nothing new to look at for that. It's just getting script changes for now.

[HanHan13]

Ok. Will you give us more info later on stuff that you have completed?

[ArmyUnit]

Yes, also this happens to be a hint:

EDIT:

Guys, this is a queen "meat eater" ant:



Imagine that as eight feet tall and trying to eat you.
(she is digging a nest btw, not eating dirt XD )

[HanHan13]

I would love to see a 8 ft. tall killer ant in Blockland. That would be AWESOME! Maybe you could make different ants like you made different scarab wasps(idea).

[Mushroom man]

Aweshuuum! Suicidal ant-sposions?

Multiple ant types are planned, yeah.

Yup.

Also, boomer inbound!


Closest to the camera is a Boomer Bug (Triangulation and funny lighting will not show up ingame)

In case you were wondering, it spits acid and explodes in your face! Boomber bugs should always be recognizable buy their brighter appendages.

Yes I know, the model looks somewhat rushed. I did attempt to add more detail to it, but whatever I did looked funny. If you have any ideas, please let me know (no, adding warts is not an option).
