In Response To: Re: Eternal X Alpha 4 (PI)

: Incredible how Eternal X changed from Mark V ! Especially the textures
: changed from ugly to fine (mostly pfhor textures).

: Weapons : - I think the Fusion Cannon needs some graphic update, still is
: ugly.

I'd love to update the weapon graphics, but I lack the skills to do so. Any volunteers?

: - The Grav Blades come in late and hold a long time - do they really need a
: usage bar or is this an engine restriction ?

Engine restriction; also, consistence. You can, in theory, run out of ammo with them...

: - How come the ammo is so restricted ? I would like to gather a little more.

I could increase the ammo, but I don't know what everybody else thinks I should do? I kinda like having ammo tight, especially since you get ammo every time you kill anything.

: - Sometimes I don't get grenade updates, only bullets when I gather another
: pfhor rifle weapon.

This is an unfortunate and unavoidable bug in the way that I had to implement the Havok rifles.

: Aliens : - some enforcers switch from M1 to M2 appearance and back

Damn, I thought we fixed that bug...

: M1
: enforcers shouldn't be used at all since all pfhor have the same
: appearance in all pfhor time and you would have an extra weapon slot you
: could use, when only 1 enforcer weapon is used.

I'm considering switching out the M1 enforcers with Blayne's modified hybrid ones (M2 body with M1 weapon); but one way or another we're definitely keeping both types of weapon in there.

: - the aliens appearing in 'the manipulated dead' look a bit like old spooky
: ghosts and not sf-like (energy-amoeba,mutated cyborgs,etc.). Shadows are
: ok, but why cloaks ? Are the new monsters already fixed in their
: appearance/graphics ?

Those are the Banshees from PiD. They are, in effect, "ghosts".

: - the hi-tech future S'pht'Kr look out of place on ancient Lh'owon. They
: don't come via cybernetic junction and the S'pht'Kr of that time just
: looked like the older S'pht clan cousins. Could you replace them with
: normal ancient S'pht ?

Those aren't just S'pht'Kr; they're S'pht DEFENDERS. What you see as "S'pht'Kr" in M2 are S'pht (of the 'Kr clan) in battle armor. What you see in chapter 3 are ancient S'pht of various clans... also in battle armor. Not all of them are 'Kr. Inside those suits are the little brain-guys too; and the little brain-guys you see floating around are mostly 'Kr themselves.

: - How does the Drinniol look like ?

Drinniol = Hulks.

: - Why do the 5th chapter monsters look more like PiD creatures ?

Because they are. It will make more sense when Ch5 is done.
