Description
This mod swaps the facehugger with a large spider model in both singleplayer and multiplayer. There are two variants of the spider included. The first is a black widow spider. The second is a brown wolf spider. Both spiders are larger than the default facehugger and are near the size of the alien runner. Each spider has matching spider sound effects, unique huds and unique vision mode skins to match the corresponding base skin. Both spiders will function exactly like the facehugger, with wall-walking, facehugging, etc. In order to prevent cheating and potential glitches, the spiders have the standard hitbox of the facehugger. So while the spider is easier to be spotted in multiplayer due to its larger size, the tradeoff is that they are a bit harder to kill as the spiders need to be shot dead center.
I was originally planning to release the spider model at the same size scale as the facehugger, but the model would warp when I scaled it down in size. Instead of scrapping it, I realized it was quite fun to be chased by large spiders in AvP2. Since spiders spawn from eggs, just like facehuggers, it works quite well. Give this a try on a lifecycle server or any singleplayer map loaded with facehuggers. I think you'll enjoy having a new enemy/npc. Have fun!

README
======================================================================== Spider Model for Aliens Versus Predator 2 ======================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Author: AVP2 game name: KingKenny Contact: [email protected] or at the website Website: https://kingskins.avpunkown.com Gamefront: https://www.gamefront.com/@kingkenny ModDB: https://www.moddb.com/members/thekingkenny Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/b1kingkenny Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/kingkenny/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) General Info: Zip Contents: SPIDER_BW.rez, SPIDER_WOLF.rez and the README.rtf (what you are reading). Version: 1.0 New textures: Yes New sounds: Yes New models: Yes New hud: Yes Known bugs: The new spider model uses the same size hitbox as the default facehugger. To kill the spider, shoot at the center mass of the spider. The spider won't receive damage if you shoot its legs. This is not a glitch, but the hitbox has to stay the default size to be multiplayer compatable. I tried increasing the hitbox for singleplayer, but then the spider ai would no longer use pounce attacks or jump. Therefore, the standard size hitbox remains. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Construction Info: Tools used: DEdit, ModelEdit, Paintshop Pro, WavePad sound editor and ResHacker. Base: Built from Arthur's Quest spider model. Resources: Some spider sounds from www.sounds-resource.com (various games with spider sound effects) and Arthur's Quest spider sounds.

If you dont have a custom folder, you must make one. *Hold mouse>Right click>New>Folder* B) Start AVP2.exe. Click "OPTIONS" on the launcher window with the picture of the queen. C) To run the spider model, type the following in the command line exactly as follows: -rez custom/SPIDER_BW.rez or -rez custom/SPIDER_WOLF.rez Note that you can only run one of the spider models at a time. So pick either the black widow spider or wolf spider command to run. D) Check "Always specify these command-line parameters." E) You will know if you installed the spider model correctly if you see a spider in place of the facehugger in AvP2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Special Thanks: A) Whatever site is hosting this mod, thank you. B) Ayleia for helping tweak the model a bit so that it caught on fire when burned by the flamethrower. C) RaptorRed for helping me brainstorm a bit in fixing the model. D) Belushi for some online testing.
