woohoo, ive started making bits and pieces of progress on addons again. while i probably wont be updating my older addons due to how much of a mess they are, i might as well just remake them.

current basically finished addons:
- tyranid nextbots
- floppy headcrab snpc
- alien swarm nextbots

already planned out:
- pikmin 3 snpcs
- actually fixing up and polishing that one old pikmin addon that was abandoned



just really tired right now but yeah ive dipped for ages because of how life's been for me. for quite a long time i lost interest in doing things i would normally do every day due to what happened, but im very slowly getting out of the pit of emotional mess and regaining the passion to continue addons. i guess all the pain i went through during that time may help me deal with things better next time, but i wouldnt want to find out. anyways yay

An official 'trailer' for the nextbots that I've been working on. Featuring everything from my old addon plus fully ported models, textures and improved particles and behaviours.

At long last, my morale to continue making addons for Gmod has risen once again. I have nearly finished the next update for the Splatoon 2 Salmonid SNPCs, along with the progress of an Antlion King SNPC.

Salmonid SNPCs
This update will include:
- The Flyfish. Support class Salmonid that sits behind the lines and fires barrages of missiles at enemies. The missiles fly to the target's position, but have a very weak homing system that makes him easier to dodge than a regular homing missile. They can be destroyed by either throwing a grenade into the missile pods when they are open, or by firing an AR2 alt fire ball at the main vehicle.

- The Mothership. The first special boss Salmonid that is being added, the Mothership deploys waves of Chinooks that drop down containers holding Chums. The Mothership can be destroyed by throwing a grenade at it when it is deploying Chinooks or when it decides to suck golden eggs from the basket.

- The Snatcher. Basic Salmonids that should've been added in the initial release, the Snatcher steals golden eggs and scurries away. Fairly simple.

- The Griller. The second special boss Salmonid in the coming update. Grillers are machines that use a laser to target enemies. They will drive to the marked target and can instantly kill any NPC that comes beneath the shower of ink. They can be destroyed by shooting the exposed Salmonid in the back.

Along with the addition of new Salmonids, the ones that are already present will receive a few improvements:

- The Stinger's pot tower will decrease in height as it takes more damage.
- Steelheads can only be killed by destroying the bomb on their head that inflates when attacking.
- Steelheads can fling enemies that are too close, dealing significant damage and throwing them back.
- Scrappers have armored cars that actually block damage coming from infront, and can only be harmed if damaged from behind.
- Better animations for all Salmonids overall.
- The Drizzler's missile has its own model.
- Drizzlers will flip over upon firing their missile, leaving them open to being attacked.
- Most Salmonids will briefly grow in size as they take damage, similar to how they are in game.

Yes. Exactly as it reads. I don't have the botherment to format this or make it look neat because I'm just pissed at my trash computer. Just yesterday file explorer was in a continuous loop of crashing and restarting, the desktop, taskbar and file explorer itself constantly closing every time I attempted to open it.

I already attempted to restart several times, install any new update and run a sfc/scannow using the command prompt. Nothing seemed to work so my only solution was to completely restart and reinstall windows, in which I had also lost my files in the process. At the time the last of my concern was my files, but my computer functionality. To my relief, it had been fixed and no longer was crashing, my moment of relief cut short after realizing that I had also lost my files in the process.

Remembering the unreleased update files had also been wiped during the reinstall had be shocked for a few moments. Just angry. Very angry at this piece of crap constantly blasting issues out the ass and now it's affected my addon progress. Not only have I lost the update content, but with it my planned Tyranid and Alien Swarm Infested SNPCs, along with the anticipated Antlion SNPC remaster.

As of now, I've temporarily lost passion due to the sudden loss of my hard effort into remastering my slightly bugged addons.

School is also being unhelpful and I'm being barraged by assignments and study, coupled with my only available time to spend on code/games being Friday and partially Saturday, the time you may have to wait is undefined, but if I can break past this layer of horrendous luck, it will come sooner than expected.

I am sorry for making you wait. Making such dedicated subscribers wait for the day I fufil what they want.

Generic Worm.

A little leak from my little workshop and fellow chums. I will be remaking, fixing and recoding all NPCs from PredatorCZ's Starship Troopers addon, instead in VJ Base with fixed AI and including all bugs that were never finished or added in the addon.

Want to stay updated? Make sure to be part of the group and every now and then I may release a video showing my current progress.
