Ant Lion Color Scheme

McFly · Jul 17, 2004

well, in the recent flashlight pic, we noticed that the ant lion colors are now green and purple, yet in this pic on the official site,
http://www.half-life2.com/news.php
we have a dark orange or red.
This may be an old pic, but if i remember correctly, the older pics were a lighter orange.
So are there simpl different colors of ant lions?
I hope this is the case. This way every model of them wont look the same.

guise · Jul 17, 2004

perhaps they look a different color becuase theyre having a torch shone directly in their faces

DiSTuRbEd · Jul 17, 2004

Those pictures are OLLLD, back from may 2003, don't worry about it

McFly · Jul 17, 2004

DOnt worry? About what? I want differently colored bugs! I wantses blues and purples and yellows and weds and pinkses and even guacamole colour!

Estevan · Jul 17, 2004

but we can still have different kinds of ant lions. "Look! there goes the rare blue ant lion!" It will be like pokemon without the wierd names

McFly · Jul 17, 2004

lol^^^^^^^^^

It looks as a big possibility that there are many kinds of color schemes for ant lions as you have noted. Or maybe they were just jerking around with the textures still I think the "normal" ones will be thelight orange ones like the ones on Bugbait vid or the prision pics.

Mabby there a diffrent type of ant lion!

gunstarhero · Jul 17, 2004

i would hope so.. I hate playing a game aganst a bunch of clones

Eat Fresh · Jul 17, 2004

They're yellow or orange with small purple highlights. Note the COLORED LIGHTING and the DARKNESS in the room that the screenshot was taken in.

Mechagodzilla · Jul 17, 2004

Yeah, it looks green because the light is blue. Blue + yellow =green.

ant lion > pokemon

shaggy2039 · Jul 17, 2004

guys, lets not turn this into a flame thread...you see, it's really simple to explain this phenomenon once you've had the chance to talk to valve about the ant lion species...it breaks down like this, into 3 classes...

1. the "spotted fickel-tailed" ant lion - basically the orange/red ant lion we've all seen...
2. the "rainbow backed triple-beaked" ant lion - which is basically the yellow and purple one the poster is refering to...
3. the "quad gilled 7-toed" ant lion - which has yet to be seen, but is apparently all the colors of the above ant lions, excepts he's got the ability to burp and rub his tummy at the same time when he's attacking gordon...

glad I could clear this up for you guys...

KagePrototype · Jul 17, 2004

Or they could have just changed the Ant Lion skin all together a few times, couldn't be bothered creating new screens for their website, and there's only one type of Ant Lion in the game.

KurtCobain · Jul 17, 2004

They could be old pictures of different tpyes of Ant Lion....perhaps the reddish ones breath fire......J/k

AJ Rimmer · Jul 17, 2004

Ahh... I can still remember the text to that red ant lions picture in the first HL2 article in PCGamer.

lans · Jul 17, 2004

The new antlions are discoloured, but I think it's just because of the lighting. Otherwise, they look awesome - the normal mapping on their skin is pretty good.

Brian Damage · Jul 17, 2004

Yeah, it's the bluish light...

I reckon that new screenie is ace...

Jimlad · Jul 17, 2004

It all fits into place! HL2 is really a rip-off of Pokémon! Think about it.. he goes around with his supah-hott female sidekick Alyx (Misty), battling this giant evil organisation combine thing (Team Rocket), befriending these weird-ass aliens (Pokémon) and when he throws his pheromone (Poké) balls and shouts "GO ANTLION!", his antlion pals suddenly appear and kick the bad guys' (Team Rocket's) asses. And, he helps out the scientists who are always researching the aliens (Pokémon), like Dr. Kleiner (Professor Oak). And, he's like, training up to become the world's greatest materials scientist (Pokémon master), or something. So yeah, TOTALLY UNORIGINAL!

sroom2 · Jul 17, 2004

VALVe is probably making different color schemes that depend on where the antlions habitat is...

Too bad the shadows are horribly incorrect. The flashlight effect isn't anything special either, but I am spoiled by Doom3's flashlight. Oh this thread was about the color of the bugs. Right. Well, they look yellow to me.

Doom3's flashlight effect looks similar to the one in Halo, except that you can clout people over the head with it. And besides, it depends on the type of lamp that the two people have (they produce different illumination effects)

pssst. Doom 3's flashlight effect is nothing like halo's. Half-life 2's flashlight on the other hand looks like Halo's. Doom 3's flashlight has a small black dot in the center and strictly illuminates only things within the the yellow prenumbra, as seen in the xbox trailer.

Yes, I know I can genrate a lot of fear amongst HL2.net members...Muhahaha.

nc17 · Jul 18, 2004

I believe they just changed some of the antlion art

The latest antlions (in the flashlight pic) are normal mapped and obviously have a new skin

I liked the old orangeish skins but thye lacked normal maps
