Post subject:  Stealth Crabs
After NickFury666's incredibly useful Barbed Crab, i decided to make a useful crab too. The stealth crab is extremely hard to see against their specific background (Vegitation, BunkerModule, etc.), and as a defence they bite enemies that get too close, and can be very useful in multiplayer matches.Images:

You know, I actually said something about this, too.

I also made it, but Paint.net fudged the sprites up, but I never felt like fixing it.

No, lol, it's fine. I really couldn't care less.
I just thought it was kinda funny.

Oh wow, that looks good, cricket. You should finish it, and package it with Oobagoo's.

Very nice, I'll use this to..
actually it's not very useful, considering you won't need to spy on people really.
Downloaded anyway.

now i'm working on a vegitation- blending sniper, but he needs a rifle. if someone could supply the code i could make the sprites.

wouldn't it be easier to just make the sprite for the crab mostly null pixels and then it would just be invisible?

Very nice looking Oobagoo - I'll try out the crab ASAP

What kind of code do you need for the rifle? I could probably help.

@ Kigail - Yes, but bullets would also pass through it (i think...) Also, camouflage looks better.

I'll probably need offsets, near-weightless rounds (i cant get the rounds to weigh next to nothing :-( ) and such. i can do pretty much everything else. i'll tell you if i need anymore help. will post a sample sprite soon.

Pretty good sniper sprite. Maybe needs to be a little more mottled. I'll do somethin with it when I get home.

It's stilish but kinda useless cause the AI can actually see you >_>
Would be useful you made a crab with high join strength that have a mass emmiter on it's body pointing upyard, so that would keep the crab on the floor and even give him the capability to walk on walls and even roofs :D
Upsidedown walking crab would rules :3
