Looking for a few good monsters...

[Dr. Shadowborg]

soldier.mdl resknis as "new monsters" is pretty old, beaten and tired excuse of making new monsters like that overrated "goblin" or so

Actually the goblin was also resized to be a midget. But anyway, variants like these do qualify under the Guide to Mutants section as mappers and modders may want a nice skin or something for their theme, or simply are tired of looking at the same old grunt.

EDIT:

Reskins are an excellent and also standard way to denote differences in monster performance from the expected in game. LTH's grunt and enforcer reskins are a good example of how to do it right.

Palette shifting in general, or a mild skin change, works regardless

Look at all of Diablo/2 afterall... you encounter several types of Fallen One, but via color alone they used the same artwork. Also alpha if it uses an engine mod can denote another ability... or make it glow to denote another... Simple stuff that allows for more variety in combat.

About KiU:

Has the "vore", that is a shalrath withouth chest and head, and looks very alienish to me. Theres even a "metal" skin for a "robotic" vore.
You can redo that "monster" with qME simply deleting the torso of a shalrath, and coloring the removed section. Also scaling up all the frames (qME function) will make a excellent "shambler size" monster with a spider alike feel.

Darkplaces allows the .colormod shit too

[Dr. Shadowborg]

Tei: Actual creation of new monsters is somewhat beyond the purview of the mod at this time. Think of this mod as a Custents only for monsters rather than general mapping / brush / train stuff.

Darkplaces allows the .colormod shit too

That's something this mod will never EVER do if it can avoid it, as I would prefer to keep it as flexible as possible in terms of widespread engine compatability. (not to mention this is intended to be a mapper resource as much as anything, and I haven't seen that many mappers make a map for DP only.)

You'd be surprised. Especially considering that we've seen him before from a different perspective in PerQuake.
