I've noticed a lot of people out in the Quake world seem to be interested in RPGs too - like me. I'm sure all you people loved The Lone Gunmen's dragon, but felt something was...missing.   ::sigh::, you said. Another person who just sticks with a simple, fire-breathing dragon...Ah, well..

NO MORE!!!

   This is my first attempt at a Quake monster. Since I have no skill at model-creation (you can see my pitiful attempt in the death sequence), I have used the base model from TLG's dragon. This is based upon that. I just made the other dragon types, and wrote most (the ai and the cloud are all I didn't) of the code.
   There's a bit more here than just new monsters. I have written burn code, acid code (kinda like the burn, but easier :-) ), modified the monster's ai_whatevers so that they also burn, and I drew the skins, from TLG's base (aren't color replace tools handy?). There's also (really bad??) freezing code, and probably some other stuff I did too late at night to remember now.

Thanks go to: 
TLG, for the model and the AI
TSR, for the many memories this is based on
Id , for such an incredibly cool game and the sounds from Hexen
Patrick Martin, for writing the cloud code...it looks awesome!

For those of you who will use these in levels:
     There are five new monsters.
monster_rdragon (The red dragon, breathes fire)
monster_wdragon (White, breathes frost)
monster_bdragon (Black, breathes acid)
monster_gdragon (Green, breathes clouds of poisonous gas)
monster_bluedrag (Blue, breathes lightning like the shambler)

I haven't had any opportunity to test these with multiplayer, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work, assuming everything is set up correctly.

If there is anyone out there with model-creation skills, patience, and the desire to help a person with big ideas but without the neccesary skill to carry them out, please contact me about making models for me. Current ideas of mine include a Balrog (a huge demon-like thing, with wings and a big whip - from Tolkien fame), a beholder (much like the cacodemon of Doom, but with 11 eyes and a different power emenating from each), and elementals (powerful creatures made up of earth, air, fire or water). I could go on for days about ideas I've had. Just contact me if you're intereste
