been reading comments, still can't figure out what this mod does, is it just a decorative block?

Gopher - Great job; that would be fantastic. Anything you have would be awesome. Let me know when you can.

Mr. Bann@noo - Zu diesem Zeitpunkt bin ich noch sehr beschäftigt mit meinem Vater und obwohl ich Ihre Ideen absolut liebe, werde ich wahrscheinlich bald keine Zeit mehr haben, daran zu arbeiten. Sogar jetzt habe ich aus Zeitgründen jemanden, der für mich am NPC arbeitet. Vielen Dank für die tollen Ideen!

I might have some source files still if you guys would want them.

Last I remember doing with the mod was make animations for it - it was ready to go, but I never made a mod out of it.
I'll check around on other hard drives and flash drives for the source files.

Feel free to add me on Steam or catch me on discord with Chipstix213#7332

Disappointing; I had hoped that Gopher would be well on the way towards a working NPC by now. However, I see no reason why Chipstix213 shouldn't pick up the torch and carry on at this point. Chipstix213, can you forward me an e-mail so we can move forward? I would be happy for you to work on this project.

Arrakis, Gopher retired and pulled all his mods for some reason. Chipstix can take up the task but they need your source files and permission.
MR Ban@noo 21 Jul, 2020 @ 8:41am 
Wünsche auf jedenfall gute besserung Ihres Vaters. Achso vieleicht kann man auch ne version machen wo das Alien sich auch bewegen könnte sowie auch eier oder sogar die Queen selber das wäre mal nice. Oder noch ne Idee mit Türen aus den Alien Filmen. Würde mich sehr freuen sofern sie dann die Zeit haben. Und nochmal Gute besserung.

I think Gopher has retired from SE modding but if he's still working on this it would be great to get an update
Arrakis Spice Co.  [author] 21 Jul, 2020 @ 8:03am 
Thanks all for the comments; Gopher; any update on the NPC progress?
Arrakis Spice Co.  [author] 21 Jul, 2020 @ 7:54am 
Chipstix213, I do have someone else working on it at the moment; let me check in with him to see if he would like some assistance. I think it's fantastic that you would like to help. As I say, my dad has been ill for quite some time, and although I have been planning to do it myself, I just have't had the time, so I am thrilled that there is so much interest in getting this project off the ground.
Arrakis Spice Co.  [author] 21 Jul, 2020 @ 7:47am 
Es tut mir sehr leid. Mein Vater war lange krank, deshalb hatte ich keine Zeit, daran zu arbeiten. Es wird wahrscheinlich eine Weile dauern, bis ich dazu in der Lage bin. Vielen Dank, dass Sie mich informiert haben.
MR Ban@noo 20 Jul, 2020 @ 11:44pm 
Müsste wieder mal Aktulisiert werden. Kann man leider nicht mehr nutzen. :/
Chipstix213 9 Jun, 2020 @ 6:52am 
I can help with NPC if you like
Dsyelxia 31 May, 2020 @ 10:47am 
Still waiting for anyone to make an NPC or playable character version of this. It would fit SE so well! Good job on the model.
Arrakis Spice Co.  [author] 14 Mar, 2020 @ 11:00am 
Perhaps. That is the plan. We will need to be patient and see how it develops. I absolutely agree that it is a most exciting proposition, however, and look very forward to seeing and playing the final result!
Pro_gamer29901 13 Mar, 2020 @ 5:52pm 
if not.. maybe.. update and add NPCs with the mod???
Pro_gamer29901 13 Mar, 2020 @ 5:52pm 
question.. is it an NPC like the spiders and wolves?

it would be great for a server RP if it is :)
Arrakis Spice Co.  [author] 27 Dec, 2019 @ 7:10pm 
Thanks guys. I'm so sorry about your father, T. Sapien. It changes your world, to be sure, going through an illness prior to losing someone, and certainly afterwards. And Gopher, regarding that Alien; I'll be anxious to see him creeping around one of my planetoid bases someday soon as the result of your efforts. :)

My dad would like that; as a matter of fact, when I was lying on the couch sick one afternoon as a teenager, he brought a couple of movies home for me to see that he thought I would like that I had never seen before: Alien and Predator. Naturally I fell in love with them and now have Aliens (and Predator and other sci-fi) memorabilia all over the house... including a full sized replica of an Alien egg with Facehuggers coming out of it that lights up... pulses, actually in various colors!
yellow51 27 Dec, 2019 @ 1:21am 
I hope your father gets better soon, Arrakis.
I'll start working on the NPC as soon as I can.
Tanya Sapien 25 Dec, 2019 @ 2:15pm 
hey, it's fine if you can't work on it. I lost my dad back in october this year and I know the importance. you do whatever it takes to make the time you have with him precious because life's a bitch and it'll pick the moment you least suspect to steal people from you so you never get a chance to say goodbye.

That being said, 12/10, massive thanks you're willing to let somebody else carry the torch. Modding belongs to the community, content comes before fame and I respect that.
Arrakis Spice Co.  [author] 24 Dec, 2019 @ 8:17pm 
My apologies for the late reply; I've been terribly busy. My father has had 7 trips to the OR in the past month and he remains in the ICU. He has been ill for quite a while, so unfortunately I haven't had the time to devote to modding or even responding like I used to. Hopefully at some point I'll be able to again, but for now and the foreseeable future, I have to be content with simply playing a game here or there when I can catch a couple of hours at my desk or on the laptop.

In the meantime, Gopher, why don't you take the Alien as you had requested and make it into an NPC mod for SE? Since I don't have time to do it right now as I have been planning, there isn't any reason everyone else should be deprived. I would be more than happy for you to do it. Please take the model from one of my very favorite movies and finish the job for me. It'll be a team effort! Fantastic idea, Gopher & Orthopaktis! Do me proud!
Orthopaktis 11 Dec, 2019 @ 6:18am 
You should have really considered working with Gopher to make this into an NPC mod :lunar2019deadpanpig: I feel like we are losing out on so much potential and quality that your mod would offer in games!
yellow51 16 Oct, 2019 @ 2:50pm 
Mind if I use this in a NPC mod for SE?
Tanya Sapien 23 Apr, 2019 @ 4:05pm 
r/whoosh.

great model though
Snurg 18 Oct, 2018 @ 8:25pm 
It's a xenomorph from the Alien movie series.
CTH2004 3 Apr, 2018 @ 9:39am 
Perfect!

This is from Dune, right?

Well, I've haven't been active with modding for a while, to be honest because my father has been requiring quite a bit of care unfortunately, but someone commented recently that the textures need updating on one of them so I may need to try and find some time to look at updating some of my mods again. It may help take my mind off of things a bit with something I enjoy that would give everyone else a bit of a smile also.

I can't promise anything, certainly, but I'll have a look at my aliens again while I am doing it to see what I would have to do to make it work and how long it would take. Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. :)
Orthopaktis 3 Sep, 2017 @ 3:33pm 
Has your father gotten better? Do you plan on replacing spiders still? I would really like this idea.
Lillian NZ 6 Jan, 2017 @ 2:11am 
Can someone make a character model of the alien? Please?
Sausage 15 Dec, 2016 @ 9:04pm 
That's bad news and great news. Hope your Dad get well soon :)
Arrakis Spice Co.  [author] 24 Nov, 2016 @ 9:57am 
I have been planning to do it myself but my father has been ill so I haven't had much time to relax and work on things; I'm hoping I'll be able to devote more time to it soon.
TremorousCawkasaurus Rex 21 Nov, 2016 @ 10:05pm 
Can i copy this model to replace the spiders AI?
JaggedJ 3 Jul, 2016 @ 12:57am

Moon Muppet 22 Nov, 2015 @ 9:58am 
Player skin? Animate that thing and throw the saberoid AI behind it. I want those things flying at me out of cave walls, and giving me nightmares for weeks.
dark_mift 21 Nov, 2015 @ 7:54pm 
I would LOVE this as a skin!
Soulkeeper 21 Nov, 2015 @ 7:48pm 
YES please a player skin like this with a short tale
Sasha Mason 21 Nov, 2015 @ 4:34pm 
Ples make it a player skin. I BEG YOU ;_;
Arrakis Spice Co.  [author] 21 Nov, 2015 @ 9:09am 
@Darth Biomech: Doesn't sound too bad. I will have a go at that shortly once I have resolved an error I am getting with my newest mod: Exception occured: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Many thanks for the direction.

This is a great mod. Did you take my idea for the gatling handle?
