Diving Suit (with "torpedo" launcher)

[Tsuga]

I recolored Smoking Mirror's martian riot cop to be a heavy underwater suit. Equipped with a torpedo launcher to fend off giant squid and hungry megalodons.

I also altered the speed for slow underwater movements. Sounds are used from the submarines and work well enough.

I recently re-played Dino Crisis 2, which has an underwater sequence in a diving suit similar enough to the martian riot cop. I've been working on a Dino Crisis mod (put those PTW dinosaurs to good use!) and this diving suit is used by the player as a single foot unit sea transport to access a strategic location.

Well, that's interesting unit
How are you using it? Only safe to be used in coastal water tiles - right?

 

[Samez]

Well good idea but the choice of colour is, let's say, "difficult".
You could combine this unit with neomegas pentagenisis terrain

I think it looks a bit better in game.

Tsuga... That's a Novel way to get this new under water unit. Does it use a torpedo animation in the attack?

 

[Bluemofia]

Instead of torpedo launcher (big and bulky torpedo), how about a harpoon launcher instead? (more plausible)

 

[Tsuga]

Ha, well, it still has the original animations and such, I just altered the palette, animation speed, and sounds. So it could very well be a harpoon launcher, I just used the 'torpedo' sound from the submarines as the attack.

You're right the unit looks much better ingame than on the magenta background!

It'd be pretty pimping if you did that with this guy, too.

Sorry for the bump.

It would be pretty awsome if someone made this to match the colours of darker water terrain mods, such as http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=246981
