It's Paul Bunyan's blue ox! =) [img:2hfjqxgw]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/PaganRaven/DOOM0011.jpg[/img:2hfjqxgw][img:2hfjqxgw]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/PaganRaven/YKTRA1.jpg[/img:2hfjqxgw] You can also see him in action in my GZDoom WAD: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://rapidshare.de/files/6497629/Yakotaur.WAD.html">http://rapidshare.de/files/6497629/Yakotaur.WAD.html</a><!-- m --> If you need GZdoom... well... do a search on google or look around in the Zdoom pages cuz i forgot where i found it. Zdoom .97 makes him look like crap so don't use that. So holy mods, if you guys think he's good enough might you include him in scattered evil somewhere or somethin? ... okay, i understand. I am lowly filth and i will never deserve to be even a tiny part of something big

No ports for me. Warun all the way! <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> BTW how did you achieve the colour scheme? Did you swap the RGB channels?

I put a maulotaur sprite in photoshop and experimented a bit. Eventually, I did Layer<LayerStyle<ColorOverlay<ColorDodge Since I exported it with a Cyan transparrent (0,255,255), the color dodge effects everything except the transparrent color =D I was trying to make a white one, but it wasn't really working out, but I found that awesome blue scheme that didn't really change the blood and belt and loin cloth noticably and I was all "Man, that looks so awesome =D" The color is #83C3F0 (131,195,240) So I went through the process of doing the same thing to every sprite, which actually took a grudging two hours (if you guys tell me there is a way to do a single function to multiple images I will scream). Then I brought him into my WAD using WXE and went through a couple days of trying to perfect his script and now he's near golden. I kinda wanted the Icicles to spawn still in front of him but I could only have them sit stagnant from the sides of him rather than front and back, so I settled for having him shoot the icicles across the ground instead, which still is not bad. He has 1/3rd the HP a normal maulotaur has, but I noticed that he'll kill you pretty easily, especially when the floor is ice! (unless you are using uber arms such as the wraithverge) I'm proud of the guy. Sadly because I think it's the best/most complex thing I've done with Hexen other than that WAD I made where you could buy items with the sapphires in a shop and there was a bank where you withdrew more sapphires which get deposited in there by killing monsters (and I lost that wad ='( )

Looks good, if Firebrand runs it through internal QA and finds it OK, it'll be in the game. p.s. you can run effects on multiple images in Photoshop, Fireworks and other professional imaging apps by running a batch command.

Nice one, but I'm kind of curious about that Tome of Power in the middle of the status bar.

i'm betting he made a second minotaur summon thing and quickly snagged heretic's tome

I like those sprites, nice work PaganRaven <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->, let me check the attacks and see how they work, if they are useful, maybe it will be included. I'll download it and make a quick test of it.

Yes, I think it can be made easily for SE <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->, but the damage values are a bit to rough, even if you think the enemy as a boss, heh! <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->, anyway, nice work!

*screams* Yeah feel free to tweak health, damage, it's firespread, etc. a little bit if it becomes a necessity <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> Oh and that tome of power well... I just put it in there to see if I could, and I did. There's no dual-fire for any of the weapons, of course. But the shadowsphere and the map works which is sorta cool. Yay!

Yeah, it will take quite a while to code all the extra weapon options for the Tome of Power, but by far the hardest part is actually coming up with some decent ideas (my favorite is probably the powered up Arc of Death).

I've got some Ideas (Not sure if they're good ones). Like, the fighter would have really strong gloves (duh), possibly throw axes or use halo2's sword melee lunge toward his target with his axe, either make a deadly earthquake with the hammer (have no idea how to get this to hurt the monsters and more importantly not hurt the user) or do the maulotaur's attack, and with the quietus spin around constantly while holding down the button which shoots all around him and bounces projectiles off him and meleeing with this is virtually an instakill. The Cleric would throw his mace some distance and it comes back like a boomerang, also doing double the damage. The serpent staff would be the hellstaff's hellrain, except green. The firestorm would do the arch-vile's fire attack and be a near-instakill unless the other guy slips out of his site before it detonates, either that or do the phoenix staff's flamethrower. And finally his wraithverge would do the Crusader's tomed meteor staff tornadoes (using the Lich's twister sprites at 2x scale, also dealing much more damage than the Lich's twister <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> ) The mage's blue wand would turn into the red wand from Kmod. His frost shards would turn into a machinegun version, which shoots possibly 8 shards at once very rapidly which would really hurt (and eat up his mana!). His arc of death would turn into something pretty similar to quake's lightning gun/like the demonness's powered 4th weapon. His bloodscourge would be a BFG attack, launching a big red blob of destruction with a vast splash radius upon impact. .......... yeah, I pretty much have no life <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

AAAHHHHHHHHH! You discovered my alter-identity! errr... i mean, that's obviously a completely different pagan <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->
