Dude that is so friggin AWESOME.
It would be best I think to make the smaller bugs super-weak and super-cheap, that way people could have fun doing mass blitzes with em and crushing em all XD
Be sure to get some good *crunch* sounds for the death, yeah that would rock. As for the giant fire beetles I'd give them some decent aromor though..

Dude these are just amazing :cool:

i didn't planned to make them as a new side, just an enhancement for the very few tiberium monsters.
Thats why they all have no remaps.

I gave them cost=0.
The Bugs have only Strength=50 and Armor=none
The FireBugs: Strength=350, Armor=heavy
Bugs are Infantry
FireBugs Vehicles

i have the DVD Starship Troopers, so i hope, i can extract some good sound effects too. But maybe you already have some or know where to find some and share them here. This would take some work away from me.

Is "fire beetle" the official name? i would really like to know them. if someone has a list?
In the movie making-of scenes the director called him "Tank Bug" if i remember right.

what i already have is
the Bug
the FireBug (my name for the fire beetle; btw the FireBallLauncher works great for this )
and work on
the Plasma Artillery Bug
the Brain Bug
what i dont think to do
the Flying Bug (because jumpjet logic is messed up, and the tiberium flyer logic isn't the best)

the Bug Fire-Death Anim:
the FireBug Walk Anim:

right now i have a problem with the Plasma Bugs Fire-Anim. Maybe you can help me.
As you may know the Plasma Bug fired with his back. he blowed up and then fire the plasma ball from his behind (quite disgusting :biggrin: )
Ok, my problem is.
Should i make in the fireanim a turn-anim too? because it has to turn for 180° to fire, it could look quite stupid, if it just flips around.
But if i add a turn-anim, the whole anim could last to long, so every target can simply escape before this thing fires.
