This is my activities mod I have started working on, it is an attack of the Parasite we all know and love, the flood (Yes, from halo). I will also need help on this, but not so much.

Features: I decided to make it feel like the flood are infecting your bodies so the infected coming down will be infected Coalition, and Ronin.
Infested Drop ships, and balls of flesh will rain from the skies containing swarms of parasites and Infected. There will be a specially evolved flood enabled with digging powers, since they would need to evolve that way in the cortex universe.

EDIT: I do not need any more help at this moment, I could later though.

I decided to show you a preview sprite for the coalition infected:



Note: I also realize this post is short but there isn't much I needed to explain here.

Check Azukki's templates for wounds.
It is possible.

Also, this should be in mod making.

I seem to have misplaced it! How would I go about moving it?

EDIT: I'll just wait I guess.

Wait for a moderator.
Or PM one.

Fixed...

Why would you hate the flood? I find them quite fascinating organisms. Maybe you could hate them for infecting your fellow marines in halo and trying to eat your face off, but that's just their nature. Well, if you hate them so much prepare to blow their brains out until they over run you, and kill yours when I release this.

I hope you don't half-bake this like some other mods have been. This could work quite well, good luck.

I hate the flood because I hate that there a total rip from a book by Christopher Rowley. In fact, the entire halo universe is. The humans vs the covenant. different names, same fight. Halo rings? Nope, it was a different ancient artifact floating in space, it was like thor's hammer or some crap. but it did the same thing...

The flood. Yeah, they where in it to. Different name, but described exactly the same. Not to mention that huge weapon they found (Halo/hammer) existed purely to destroy this race. and this books race(s) that turned into the covenant... yeah, they worshiped the weapon and the ancient races as god-like.





That-part aside, The flood is just Bungie's attempt at making halo, a FPS Action game, also double as horror, to compete with half-life, which came LONG before it.




I'm not saying this is a bad idea, I'm just saying the statement was kind of.... blah...

Know and love my ass. The flood are a rip-off of 2 different things, and exist JUST to tack 'horror' to part of the game. That and all the references to Alien(s). it was cool the first 1-3 times they did it, but almost every other name and event is a reference to something else and..... the whole halo universe is just to campy for me. Yes, I had fun playing it, but I kept complaining about how tacky it all was.




Nothing personal... Its not your fault, its bungie's and microsofts.








Also Wounds are easy.

you create an AEmitter, and then in the object recieving the wound, Wound = AEmitter.

You can make them bleed acid, that can't hurt them, but hurt the map and near-by enemies. Not that that's true to ANYTHING but the xenomorphs in alien(s) that NOONE has bothered to make... EVER...






Sorry for going on a rant.... I've just been having one of those days.

Dude, Halo had its own books too. You don't have to hate halo because it "copies stuff" Infecting parasites are a general idea same with human vs alien warfare. That's like saying cocoa puffs copied Captain crunch because you poor milk into both of them, and their both cereal. Trust me, you dont want to get in a fight with me over ♥♥♥♥ like this, I always win because I am stubborn and I never quit. Most people only demonize halo because its popular, everyone demonizes popular things just for attention and Its really pissing me off. Oh, and why the hell did you put so many extra lines between sentences! ♥♥♥♥ man, you raped the page already!




I don't half bake anything I work on, its the first law of my modding code.

im willing to help..... of course ive never done anything then change my shotgun so it raped anybody......

i love halo so yeah ill help if i can.

whens it gonna be done? im a halo fan. (not fanatic, i just like the games.)

The books by Christopher rowley are from the 80's.

And it wasn't about "Infecting parasites" It was about "Small foot-ball sized things that attach to people, and either kill them, or bring them back to the dead, and they spread like some weird fungus that buds and spores off of people" If I was going to complain about all parasite aliens, i'd be complaining about face-hugers in aliens, but I just complain about how obscene they are (H.R.G. was a pervert)

But my Halo Bitching aside, how are you going to go about giving them weapons? IE Which Halo are you going by (Since the flood where a bit different in each)?

count me in. im a pretty decent spriter so if your havin trouble with something ill give tips or fix it my self.

on the head. doesnt quite seem floody enough, add tendrils and more brown. also ideas!

-instead of infected dropship have infected covenent dropship(or both)
- add lots of gory attachables that leak yellow/brown goo
-make some that change shape(could do it with an abomb that exploded instantly killed the unit carrying it and then spawned the next one)
-infected crabs!
-lua scene(if your feeling up to it[underground flood caves would be awesome!{remember to do flood parasite eggs}])

there should be a flood drop-craft thats just a crashing infected ship, or giant spore containing flood. you could even make regular flood, those popper things, into grenades that pop into acid.
