A simple bug replacer for the locust models. Super simple right now and will hopefully be replaced with a less graphically wonky robot soon, basically takes out two legs and tilts the abdomen to make them chunky megaman robots. If all you want is less buggy locusts it should work.

Hey, I don't normally comment on stuff, but I just wanted to say, that I actually really like this idea. I've never really thought about changing locusts at all, but I legitimately like the direction of this design more than the original, regardless of phobias. I guess I just think "whacky robots" is simply a lot more interesting than "spooky bugs".

 

I guess my only criticism may be that I think it would look slightly better if they had 4 legs instead of 2. That way, they look like they could actually balance themselves.

Here's my really crappy attempt at interpretting what I mean, I guess(sorry, i'm bad at anything art):
Maybe their off animations could even just have their legs laying down like quadriped normally might. I think it woul make it more believable though while still retaining the goofy robot vibes that I think I actually like about these.

Jessterr The game engine handles shapes both server and client side, not separately, unless you hide some parts server side on the shape that both server and client have

Is it possible to make this mod a client-side one since all it does is replace their appearance?
