New Monsters
« on: July 25, 2002, 09:57:00 pm »

Anyone made any good monsters?  My gosh-darn internet connection is down so I don't have the latest editor.  I made a guy with a 2nd head made of steel with a copper eyeball in the middle of it's forehead.  Also tried to make steelman and in the process made all females of that race have steal hands and feet while all males were made of steel EXCEPT for hands and feet- They waded thru armies of kobolds until one stepped on thier feet and beat them while they passed out from shock.  Weren't able to kill steel-man outright though.

I made three races so far. First a larger humanoid race with four arms and more grotesque features, like haunched over, depressed cranium, etc.

Next, were centaurs. They're self-explanatoyr, but I gave them a rib cage.

My latest, I'm working on are hydras. More than dragon sized and three headed, they rip through kobolds towns quite nicely. Mwa ha ha ha ha!........stupid Kurtalmak

Well, I haven't actually *made* a new creature as such.. I've been working on a creature motif, a simplified tentacled cephapod. The body was to be divided into three segments, the head containing eyes, mouth, brain and whatnot, the body, containing digestion organs and stuff, and the tentacles, used for moving about and grabbing stuff. I used the time-honoured methods of looking at the already-created motifs and generally fiddling about, but when I tried to create a random creature from the motif, it only had one part, the body, which was invisible in the game's preview display.

Thus, I decided to try something more simple. I succeeded in adding an arm to a creature's chest, and I tried to add a second head. It appeared in the stance selection menu in the game, but was invisible. I tried assigning a model to it (the 'basic' one) and this crashes the game every time.

Harlander, you can feel free to send me any motifs if you want me to see what's wrong with them.  Seeing these things will allow me to document the editors better, and eventually make them crash-proof...  I can't really tell what's causing the crash from the description, but there are so many possibilities :)  Stupid editors...
