They like to play in the mud, eat a lot of grub, and make cute little oinks and grunts. Who doesn't like a good pig around?


Piggy oink oink!

• I find it a bit strange that the pig just sits there doing nothing unless it first spots the player. It should roam from the start.
• The submission rules and templates have been updated , so you need to update the info and credits accordingly.
• You might want to look into optimizing the sprites or simply "palettizing" them. They don't need to be in true-color, since originally they were in palette mode anyway.
• A note: PNG is not a palette.

Yes, that was an oversight on my part. This has been fixed by removing the A_Look and having it go straight into its See state. Upon looking at my other submissions for population creatures I have also neglected to see this. I will be updating them in a patch later on with this fix.

The submission rules and templates have been updated , so you need to update the info and credits accordingly.

I did see this, or at least the title of the thread, and by the title I thought it was an update only for ZScript because of the way it is written. My mistake for assuming otherwise. I have updated the info and credits.

You might want to look into optimizing the sprites or simply "palettizing" them. They don't need to be in true-color, since originally they were in palette mode anyway.

Whoa! Ok, I must be an idiot because I didn't know that was a thing. Just looked up a tutorial online on how to do that. That saves so much space. Alright, adding that to the list of 'update my previous submissions' as well.

A note: PNG is not a palette.

Um... I guess then Existing/Global? That's what it says on the top of Slade3. I guess it doesn't matter now since that information is to be left out. :meh:

Since the sprites are from Hexen, and as long as they haven't been modified (color-wise), then the palette should be "Hexen".

That part of the rules is still in effect (see the template) .

Updated.

Ah, I see now. So then if I were to have modified the sprites color-wise then I would put Custom instead. Alright, thank you! I shall be sure to update my other uploads and submissions later on with this info.

Yes, if the sprite uses colors outside the game's palette, then put "Custom".

Edit: Just to note, optimizing sprites isn't a requirement; you do it if you want to.

Made a small update that fixed an issue with the sounds. I discovered that when using both the sheep and pigs together, the pigs would use the sheep's sight sounds instead. They now use their normal grunts.

Approved and added .
