Zombie with a Gun

[MoscaTnT]

Was this zombie once part of the National Guard Regiment on Paradise City?

I supose he was, I based the unit on this request:
A zombie with a gun dressed like the national guards showed at EFZI
but only EFZI team know it.

I tried it could be used as mutant too, I remenber that Stormrage needed a mutant or something like.

Great job on the second zombie you are developing quite a library of units for yourself.

 

[Stormrage]

Thanks for keeping me in mind, Mosca

Very Good MoscaTnt...this will make a great upgrade for the Zombies

...
I've used a diferent skin for the icons, that skin didn't work fine for the Flics... red and magenta became enemies ...

You don't have to use magenta as background. Look at aaglo's recent Keeper of Secrets, for example, he had such problems, so I suggested to him to use green background instead, that works too.

Good looking unit!

If you use green should it be 0, 255, 0?

 

[MoscaTnT]

If you use green should it be 0, 255, 0?

That's very interesting, I think that the palette must be changed too, the forviden last two rows, am I right?

 

[Plotinus]

That sounds fiendishly complicated and a recipe for disaster, in my opinion. You would indeed need to change all those colours, since they are currently varying shades of pink, used for shadows and highlights. It probably wouldn't be enormously hard to change it all and ensure that it all matches, but I bet it would be very easy to make a mistake and screw things up, and there wouldn't be any point at all because the unit would look exactly the same in-game anyway. Plus, of course, you would probably have to avoid using any of the "new" colours in the unit itself. The reason they use magenta is because no unit is likely to use that colour.

 

[mrtn]

Well, there's no need to change the background unless you want to use magenta tinged colours in the unit.
If you have photoshop you can change those two rows in the palette in five seconds, so I wouldn't say it's "fiendishly complicated and a recipe for disaster". However, you should know what and why you are doing.
And no, it doesn't have to be (0, 255, 0) (though this was the green I meant, for the ugliness reason), you can make a unit with blue background if you want.

Hehe, "fiendishly complicated and a recipe for disaster", that somehow seems funny to me, .

 

[Plotinus]

[mrtn] I'm just used to things that ought to be simple turning into fiendishly complicated recipes for disaster!

 

[MoscaTnT]

Palette issues are alien for me , I'll try to touch the palette only if it's much needed (or if I'm man enough )

"fiendishly complicated and a recipe for disaster" sounds wonderfull!
I'm used to use expressions like that in spanish... now I'm sorry about not being a native english speaker .

 

[Lord Malbeth]

MoscaTnT, are you going to make anymore zombie units?

 

[Cloner4000]

MoscaTnT, are you going to make anymore zombie units?

He and KA discuss about the Alpha Zombies and Radioactive ones

 

[MoscaTnT]

MoscaTnT, are you going to make anymore zombie units?

Yes, I'm currently working on the nuclear zombie and WWII russians.

 

[Chris85]

Radioactive zombie! Sweet!

 

[Lord Malbeth]

That's awesome!

 

[MoscaTnT]

This a preview of the radioactivity effect:

I have to fix it but I like the glow

 

[odintheking]

Heh, is his weapon Uranium? .

 

[MoscaTnT]

I'm working on it, but now the uranium green it's very similar to the zombie skin, I'll like to add some kind of improvised radioactive weapon.
