The Bug & MAS Mods (Server coming maybe)

[ArmyUnit]

Server is now up again.

Okay then.
When we are finalizing things, we can set it to a hardcoded value, but i did that global variable thing to modify it easily for you when hosting.
I only forgot to mention it. >_<

Ah, ok. :S

I might be a little late joining the server today. Unless the server ends up starting an hour late.

The server was fun as always.

Well, I learned much about the balancing of things this weekend, like zappers being OP if spammed! :D

Things that will hopefully be ready by next week:

-Rebalanced Bug zapper
-Cicada
-TremorMite updates (maybe)
-Exo-Suit Updates (also maybe)


I've been thinking keeping Mod6 private might be a bad idea. The Firefly and SandParasite are both quite unique in terms of gameplay, and it seems odd to not release them at some point (especially the Firefly).
The TremorMites will probably become the same way once they are completed.
(If I do decide to release the Firefly, I'll move him to Mod 2)

With the way things are going, Mod 5 might replace Mod 6 as the "Beta bugs" mod.

I'm still undecided on this though, so I'd like to hear what you guys think.

I never have been much of a fan of private add-ons in general.
But indeed.
The firefly has these cool things which i am sure, many people would like to use as well.

As for BM5 becoming the betabugs, that would be okay i guess.
They are just boss-like bugs, not basic-like bugs. :)

Overall, i still dislike private add-ons, so by all means, i would be okay to not have any of them private, but i can live with BM5 becoming betabugs. :)

[16-Bit]

How about a escort the queen like gamemode for the bugs?

If I ever do release Mod 5, I will probably release it as a set of gamemodes, since most of the boss bugs need a specific build or setting to be workable. Most of them won't even do well in a 'boss battles' situation.

That would technically make (mostly) no sense at all, because queens don't usually relocate IRL.
But I really like the idea, so it will probably happen. :)

But what if MAS is hunting them down or something, like hive diving to try and assassinate one.

:o I like the idea anyways.

Host Nao please

Bugs don't mutate into giant bugs IRL either

[HanHan13]

Bugs don't mutate into giant bugs IRL either

If that did happen we would ether be fighting to stay alive or we would be dead by now. :/

Anyway, will there be anything new this week on the server?

True, but I'd still like to stick to real bug behaviors where possible.

The Cicada will be included on the server.

Also, I've been trying to make the Firefly look more like real fireflies:





If you looked at the reference image, real fireflies actually have red and black on their heads, along with the orange/yellow. I tried to replicate this, but it looked odd, so I went back to only the orange.

[lordician]

It looks more lovey now. :3
The head shape has mainly been changed if i am correct.

Also, what part of the firefly (if any) is recolorable?
If i may make a suggestion, i would make these orange parts recolorable if you would be planning to add it.
The brown part would be a bit too much i think, though so far, a lot of bugs have like their whole body recolorable. :/

Anyway, looking good.
I think the firefly model is one of my favorite bug models so far.
Even though the FIREFLIES have been quite annoying in the servers due to their bright lights...
WHO INVENTED THESE LIGHTS, THEY SHOULD FIRE HIM!
Oh wait, i am kind of responsible for the blinding effect... Well never mind then.

Progress report on anything...
None, sorry, i have been lazying around and doing either school stuff or random other stuff. :/
Don't tie me up in a chair and keep a firefly in front of my face, constantly blinding me with it's bright light.
Please. :X

Currently only the wings recolor, but I am planning to make the orange recolorable.

And what would you consider worse: a firefly constantly blinding you, or a noisy cicada sitting right next to you?
Speaking of the cicada...

[lordician]

Is that particular Cicada coming to my house to punish me now? :X

[ArmyUnit]

He's just going to say hi.  :)
