Make the gibs come back to life and chase the player around and jump at 'em

Nothing like a Dead monster head bittin your arse!
It always gives me the creeps when I shoot a monster and it turns into 10 little creepy crawlies... hmm what game was that?

Better yet, make an Arch-Vile type monster that is relatively weak normally, but turns corpses / gibs into projectiles to attack the player with.

/me imagines killing all the monsters in a room, then suddenly the GibMaster teleports in giving the player just enough time to go "oh shit!" and then gets killed by a dozen gibs all converging on his position from different locations at the same time

And / or he casts some spell that sucks in gibs and corpses into a swirling mass right above his head and then he chucks the giant fleshball at you.

Could probably even make him a semi-boss monster by sticking him in a room with gib fountains or something.

Heh, my monster pack released in one of the QExpos had an archvile-healer monster (don't remember the name I used to it, uses the trog.mdl). Feel free to scavenger the included source code, it was a real SOB to defeat.

Have successfully broken earthQuake compatibility with everything but Darkplaces, there may well be skin/coding solutions to drag it back to FitzQuake, I'm keeping a log of all the problem stuff. May fix later.

Bit of an update on my DSTrek side project:

http://tlb.slipgateconstruct.com/PICS/m ... S_Test.png

Yes it's not finished yet. But this is a screenshot taken while using an emulator.

Note I've made some sprites for Vor'cha, Bird of Prey, D-13, Prometheus, Intrepid, and Akira.

I tried to do the Sovereign, but that thing is too damn long for me to make one that actually looks right within the constraints of 16x16 pixels, so I decided not to use it. Besides, a little fanship tweaking of the Prometheus into a non-multi vector attack mode PMV variant should be more than enough to cover what the Sov would offer anyway... (i.e. just give it a Sovereign style undersaucer torpedo turret and put something like the "All Good Things" Galaxy Dreadnought Heavy Phaser Cannon where the original pulse-fire QT launcher is and it should be good to go for the "balanced" type Super Cruiser upgrade)

I must admit, I'm having a blast making sprites and learning what works with this little project.

Sounds similar to http://youtu.be/jyyJ2EbZvaY and change voice bite to "This isn't piracy, it's archeology!"

Not quake related! Honing my old school 2d skills, working pretty much perfectly.

Currently working on a tutorial for QExpo that will, among other things, explain how to make monsters use coffee_move()

It is a navigation routine of the tutor bot by coffee, hence coffee_move.
