I know you may not like this, but it's worth a try! ;)
What if flemoids got angry that they had been beaten over and over and over again, so they flew down to Earth in a mothership, and they slimed wolves, bears, and creatures of that sort, brought them back to their ship, and over a course of days, mutated every last one of them into mindless monsters with only the will to Destroy all who live on Earth? ??? XD
I... er... I've never heard anything quite like that before. It certainly doesn't fit with the Chex Quest theme of no killing, no violence, and all of that other jazz.
A more Chex Quest-like adaption would go as follows: The Flemoids invade Earth as you described, only they "assimilate" the creatures you mentioned by over-sliming them, using some whacko slime process, etc., thus, we end up with bear-like Flemoids and whatever else you may have.
Or the Flemoids merely copy the creatures' DNA and use that to engineer their own Flemoids.
Yeah, what Manny said.
EVIL!! :o

Lolz. Well, maybe their slime has gone even moldier. :D
im late but why do i feel plagerized http://z1.invisionfree.com/forums/chexquestforums/index.php?showtopic=2134 (http://z1.invisionfree.com/forums/chexquestforums/index.php?showtopic=2134) lol its okay just wondering if anyone remembered this
Your thread didn't mention wildlife getting assimilated. :P
Flemoids in DC. That would've been awesome. The skybox could be a picture of the White House or something.
Well, the Flemoids try to slime you, anyway, so isn't that like Destroying? Err.... Also, yeah. What Manny said is pretty much what I tried to say. :P
Note to MangaCat: I have given much thought to what "sliming" does to someone, the process of healing through nutritious substances, and the process of "respawning" and I've come up with the following denotation...
"Sliming" is merely the process of mutation that turns you into a Flemoid. You do not "technically" die. Giving you food nutrients "heals" your sliminess, but by the time you become a full-fledged Flemoid and become unable to help yourself (i.e., your "health" reaches zero) usually there's no one else fighting alongside to peel the slime off and nurse you back to health, so you "collapse" at that point and await someone to "cure" you.
Therefore, each "respawn" is not you "returning to life". A "respawn" is merely a divergent time stream from the point at which you last "saved" the game. Throughout the course of the game you play, you might go through several "divergent time streams" before you get to the one in which you succeed in keeping the Flemoids from fully mutating you. All the other "failed time streams" are abandoned in favor of the one in which you succeed. So, there is no "losing" in Chex Quest, only "failure" if you choose to quit searching for a successful time stream! Ha!
The process of "zorching" does not "technically" kill flemoids. It zaps them back to the Flemoid dimension, which in fact seems to be pretty darn porous as they keep coming back for more. You would think someone would figure out how to zap them into a dimension from which they couldn't return, but NOOOOO... ;D
That's my thoughts. Welcome to the forum.

Chexy

I'm sad to say that they have all drowned in time, but you can always hit up the Chex Quest Wiki.
The way I saw it, was the flemoids just put slime on you, covering you. When your health hit zero, you're covered to the point where you can no longer move, and thus immobilized and uselessl somebody can save you.
As for why breakfast cereals can somehow get the slime off you, I have no clue. Maybe he gets more energy to fight off the slime?
@Chexy, you need not put "sincerely", unlike a letter, this is a discussion and thus has no end, so there's no need for a closing. It's your call though, of course. ;) Nice to see somebody who types well, though!

Dear 75,
To your first and second points: the game talks about mutations. So, I figure the slime causes you to mutate into a Flemoid-like being, and at 0% health you become a flemoid convert. This is different than an actual flemoid, because you can be saved by others with zorching and or health food, which answers your second point.
Of course, the pictures of health we see in the status bar reflect something else, so your mileage may vary! :D
As to your third point, thanks for the compliment! :) When I arrived here, I decided it was appropriate for me to be extra-courteous to a group of people who have slaved away for years on Chex Quest, and here I come downloading all their mods and throwing up my opinions like they matter.
Besides that, with my 20th post, I now post my salutations in my signature. So, there. :P

Muhuhuhahahahaha!!! I'm the expert, apparently. Doesn't that make me feel..... really really pathetic, actually. Almost a bad as someone who writes World of Warcraft history without being paid by Blizzard...
Slimeing is exactly what it sounds like. You become covered in slime.
Canon states that Flemoids feed off nutritional substances, most especially Cereal. Considering the Chex Warrior and all other allies are giant, living pieces of cereal.... they want to eat you. The slimeing is similar to how a spider treats its meals, in a way. They immobilize you in slime, and take you back to where they keep their food for later consumption.
Because you are not actually injured, the idea of food "healing" you is a misnomer. I would assume it is as 75 said: the nutrition of the food gives you strength to get the slime off of you. Explains why water is such a small boost [not much strength there] while a complete breakfast is such a massive boost [you know how good you feel after a good breakfast].
Wow, do I feel like a nerd now. S'what I get for still playing this game after all these years.
Chexy, at what point does the game talk about mutations?
A lot of online material I've seen from the same websites that claimed Chex Quest 3 (stolen) was an official beta stated that the Flemoids are cereal people that went through the milk dimension or something like that, and came back as Flemoids. As far as the games go, I've never seen them state anything about mutation.
EDIT: The information appears on Chex Quest Wiki (http://chexquest.wikia.com/wiki/Flemoid_Dimension), and Doomworld (http://www.doomworld.com/newstuff/chexquest.shtml) says the same thing. HOTUD in turn copied Doomworld's review/explanation (http://www.hotud.org/Action/Chex-Quest.html) (albeit with credit). HOTUD's reviews get plagiarized around the internet, so their explanation has appeared on several other small and large gaming websites.

Post edit. I meant to say Chex Quest 3 (stolen). When one says Chex Quest 3, they should be referring to the real thing.
I knew what you meant, Manny. ;)
Okay, I lost you there a while back.... (Confused! AAAAHHHH!)

That sounds like pretty sound logic there, Loremaster. I bow at your Chextacular wisdom. :D
Quote from: Loremaster on May 28, 2009, 07:31:09 PMChexy, at what point does the game talk about mutations?
When you step in slime pools or rivers, depending on the mod you're in, the game says something along these lines:
"Player sunk into slime"
"Player got covered in goo"
"Player mutated"
Now that I've reconsidered the point of sliming, I'm assuming that the "mutation" is a relic from the DOOM engine and the DOOM game.
Still, it makes me wonder what the slime pools do themselves. Why are some slime pools more harmful than others, and why do some not harm you at all? What does a Slimeproof suit do? An Invincibility item? An invisibility item? A Super Bootspoon (alternately, the Berserk item)?
Lots of questions.
1.) Right you are Ken. It's from doom.
2.) They're more harmful because of modding errors. You can probably tell by the slime type, but the modders just throw in a special, which happens to be different then the other pools.
3.) Allows you to walk on any hurtful floors.
4.) There is none in CQ.
5.) The super boot spoon is a replacement for the Chainsaw. There is no berserk.
The Super Bootspoon is my replacement for the Berserk. The Super Bootspork replaces the Doom chainsaw. Really, there aren't any official replacements for the berserk, invincibility, invulnerability.
This is getting extremely boring, except for the part where Superchex came in. Oh, and yes, Manny Cav, we know eachother. ALLO, SUPAHCHEX! What's up, old chap?

If you want to get back on topic, post something new or post something pertinent to what you originally stated. Don't post something merely complaining about where the thread went, that's useless. If you've got something new to add, say it.

are you assuming slime is alive? That's interesting.... maybe it would be something like a large amoeba, and the slime covers you and digests you?
If it's not alive, I'd say it would be something like gack - some kind of amorphous solid or a polymer with a very low melting temperature
Well, on the children's spectrum, which is what CQ was originally intended for, slime was exactly what it looked like: green gobs of sticky goo that covered you.
On a deeper spectrum, slime, well, it still seems to me like what it would be to kids. I'm a youth at heart. ;D

Actually, the green stuff was meant to be snot, and may still be. As such, the concepts (http://www.chucktropolis.com/chex/) depicted it as being yellow, but Doom's limiting palette made green much more practical. Technically speaking, the snot is mis-colored, but it's mostly been re-branded as slime because of this.
Well yeah, if it had been yellow, mucus would've been a more acceptable term, but the green coloring looks much more like slime.
(Laughs and smiles) Ah. So I have caused chaos with words. For some reason the graduating subject made me think about the fact that I'm going to college when I'm 17. (To get a Ph.d in acting or language arts.) I do like house, but I only manage to watch it about once a year, with school-work and all. The subject Manny and 75 are talking about made me blush. And I do not easily blush, for my mind is unusually resistant and strong. (Again smiles faintly) Anyway, the reason I thought of this whole idea is becuase my favorite animals are:
1. otters,
2.wolves,
3.hawks,
4.horses. and
5. hummingbirds.
I like things that are free. I love the sea, too. But, the whole flemoid idea really contradicts my whole idea of freedom, for the animals then become mindless monsters.
Oh, and 75, if you don't like talking about girls, then don't. (Grins)
Ooh, burned by the female youth! ;D
That's cool. I'm graduating at 17 as well (I skipped a grade). You do know it'll be 8 years and a thesis (a book you have to write) and a lot of work to get a Ph.D, right? I'm going for a Master's, at least.

Besides, I have a gf so I don't really The girl topic anyway.
So wait..... how does talking about flemoids make you blush?
(Looks coldly at 75's post) I wasn't talking about that, 75. Hey, ChexCommander, I am writing a book to publish right now. I love writing, dude. Also, my dad says it will take 6 years to get a master's degree, and an extra year to get a Ph.d. I really don't care what I have to write.
My flemoid idea is kind of strange. I got kinda inspired by my bro, who was drawing chex mice for me. (Trust me, the whole thing's strange to me now. I was about 5 years old then.)
I see...
well if that's how you want to handle this....

Writing a book at your age? That's inspiring. Hope you get it done. Would you mind sending me an excerpt?
And your father is correct. 6 for a Master's, and an extra 1 or 2 to get the Ph.D.
(Luaghs) ;) Okay. I might, ChexCommander. My book is hopefully going to be for both boys and girls, from ages 10 to 100. (Giggles) It's based on a teenage girl, though, which will make it complicated. Also, Iv'e had writers block for awhile. But I WILL NOT GIVE UP! I'm gonna give my friends a free copy. Maybe you guys, too, if ya want one.
My Chexquest idea was just a wild one, one based upon random thoughts in my head. I needed one, so I just said it, and hoped you would like it. It's not that great. I'll try to improve it.
AH! Maybe the flemoids have pets! After all, the flemoids aren't quite brainless, are they? I think somewhere one of them spoke. I'll try to draw my idea.

Interesting, Interesting... I like where this discussion is going!
Flemoids MUST be intelligent, considering that they use armor and technology [Bipedicus with Armor and Cycloptis], so I suppose it MUST be some sort of language. Now, another good question is this: do they make sounds that are outside the hearing range of Chexter? Hm, that could be pretty cool for a game, using a device that can pick up their ultra-sonic or infra-sonic sounds...
Another question I have is: could it be some sort of 'combat cant'? That is, a simplified verbal code language used among soldiers in the field? If that's true, then are the civilian flemoids?
Hm, yes, if these Flemoids are soldiers...there probably would have to be ones that didn't fight...I wonder what they'd look like? More like a Bipedicus? A Commonus? Something completely different?
they're just a blob with eyes that move...harmless unless you get right up next to them...
Ah, you mean like in the intro video?
Hey, I never thought of that.... I guess the only reason they need the ability to slime is so that they can defend themselves.
They could probably take any form they desire, and since they MUST be sentient to have armor and spaceships, I guess it's up to them what they want to look like
OHMAN...a shape shifter flemoid...with armor, can become BWA or cycloptis, without can become Communus, biped, or quad.
THAT would be epic...
That totally WOULD be epic! Awesome!
Or the bosses - Maximus can transform into Flebomination, or if powerful enough, Lord Snotfolus!

Indeed. ;D
But what would be its reason for being anything other than its most powerful form?
Atmosphere, environment...for example, BWA and cycloptis have different purposes.
As for the non-armor or the bosses...there'd have to be a reason.
the flembrane could turn into a pool of slime, slide across the room to a propulsor, and then morph into a cybie! WAT
That would be crazy! :o ;)
That's a really cool idea, maybe even have a sentry flemoid behind a wall that could pick up weapons and shoot them at you from a distance. Rockets when you're far away, chaingun when you're getting closer, and a shotgun when you're really close
Or the super boss sounds cool too, I see a kind of a "Kriby and the Crystal Shards" kind of thing going on.
This is getting VERRRRY interesting...
I don't think they should be able to turn into Lord Snotfolus, because, y'know, he's the King of them all! (for now...)
About the flemoid talking thing... In Chex Quest Generation 2, they DO talk to you in ep4
Lord Snotfolus is a leader, but I don't remember anything about him being the ruler of "all" of the Flemoids, I though as him just as a leader of the particular Invasion.
If Snotfolus is just a leader, then we need an even more power monarch to rule the Snotfolus-style leaders. A queen perhaps?
What about the queen in [dead] CQ return of the queen?
Yeah, Snotfolus isn't the ruler of the flemoids...or, borrowing from Dvader, the queen. (that is one thing that i wouldn't mind making an apperance...a queen flemoid)
if we were gonna make expansions (like the duke nukem 3d had expansion games), you could play as Chex Warrior going around the world to the different sites where other invasion ships landed...could you imagine London or Tokyo styled environs, cartoon styled, and covered in slime?
but drawing in another thread or two...a the canceled mod for the RAGE engine had its story flemoids being transformed cereal trapped in the flemoid dimension. I also vividly remember a thing from quake 4 where you underwent a surgery to be transformed into an enemy. Maybe something not so violent as that, but maybe you could be testing out a new teleportation module that uses relay tech to make it more reliable and closed circut. however, unknown to the young scientists, they are relaying into the flemoids dimension (points if you get where this is from). well, they try to do a relay to bazoik, but this shorts out the teleport, causing you to get glimpses into the otherwise unreachable (and unsurvivable) flemoid dimension. after bouncing between the 3 places you end up on bazoik. the scientists shut down the teleports and work on their power supply some more...but as chexter walks out, a piece of goo comes off from his boot...it slowly crawls to a crack in the rock wall, then disappears...
...the next morning, chexter wakes up to test the teleport again, only to find the door slimed shut...and insert good plot here XD
(sorry, we're kinda brainstorming and i just had a downpour)
EDIT: You guys took my idea! :D
ooh, sounds good!
now...who wants to make a mod with all that?! XD
If Slime didn't have 7 mods out already (or is it 8?), I would ask him. :D
I think Alice Jameson was trying to make a mod with a queen...I tried a little Photoshopping of Snotfolus, but it needs moar work.
And nice idea, Atarian!
Hmm. I don't know how I came up with this idea, but, you know how there are commonuses and bipedicuses? Well, why not a tripedicus? I don't know if I spelled that right...
Sorry to rain on your parade, but someone thought of that already.
I'm sure there was a Tripedicus in the unofficial Chex Quest 4, but I never got to that level. : (
I havent seen the tripedicus!
How about an 8-legged flemoid? An octopedicus?

I was thinking of that for a spider mastermind project, but I can't think of a way to do it that isn't lame....
Maybe we shouldn't TRY to replace the doom monsters... The more I think about it the more it occurs to me how little it matters to make this that kind of a TC
That's a cool story Atari, hmmm.... but doesn't A New Mission already go into the flemoid dimension?
What if the chex labs started trying to churn out a "slime armor" for a disguize, and Chexter went undercover into their homeworld?
OH WOW...but then that would mean there are cereal shaped flemoids...

What about a prequel based on when the teleporters were new, and little did intergalactic cereals united know that they had set the frequency on the teleporter to cross dimensions into the flem dimension before arriving at the location, and in a freak power failure in the middle of teleporting, someone from the Chex squadron get's caught in the dimension for a little while, and in a beginning cut scene a-la Half-life, he see's little glimpses of the flem dimension, but arrives back at ICU shortly. For some reason, though, everyone seems to be running away from him, and he could
really go for a bowl of wheat Chex. Little did this man know that he had teleported on top of a flemoid, and in the process, their brains swapped bodies! So now he's a flemoid in the cereal dimension, and the commonus he landed on now looks like chex in the flem dimension. This specimen of a man (gee, that sounds like some pick-up line) is then locked up for studying, but while he is locked up in his flemmy form, the flemoid tribune (a group of flemoid leaders) can pick up on his location through bio-detectors directed for slime! Several years and a government converup of a teleporter mishap later, the flemoid invasion has begun.
How's
that for some fancy thoughtwork? :)
Now we need either a book, movie, or mod about it, and we're all set. ;)
I actually thought Slime's version of the Mastermind was cool. The red/green mix was nice. And the Flebomination is awesome. But most of the flemoids in TNCQ G2 and CQ G2 are just recolored flemoids. ><

There's lots of interesting ideas here, someone might try to to something in the (kinda dead now) Chex Quest Fiction section.
I think he's trying to say that there should have been more original flemoids instead of recolored ones.

Exactly. While I don't mind blue slime (it's cool, looks different for a change), the fact that almost every flemoid in the game had a duplicate of a different color kinda got odd...
Hehe, not enough flemoid to go around.
See, if only I had some of TGA, Xbolt, and Slime's scripting knowledge. We'd have TONS of machinima about this sorta stuff.
all makes very epic movies in my head, but no way to get it down.
TGA is busy...
Xbolt has left the mod scene, it seems...
Slime has more than enough mods...
:/
...then the only logical choice is to wait till TGA isn't busy.

Maybe it's mutation based on the area. Perhaps the blue ones are from colder climates, and the red ones are the ultimate form of the flemoids, like the ones that evolved to the highest degree.
Of course, the real scientific reason for red and blue flemoids is the lack of spriters. ;)
XD
however, i remember something being that the colored flemoids were flavored different (like red was cherry)
but that would make NO sense...

Chexter is edible.

Well the kix people have a kix for a body... and the cheerios have a cheerio body... doesn't look like armor to me.
Also, earlier someone mentioned that the flemoids slime you because they want to
eat you and they thrive on nutritional substances...
Well, the cereal people aren't all warriors, are they, so naturally, they wouldn't all have armor. Anyways, I was referring to the body parts that include the arms, legs, and such.
And, well, if Flemoids do eat you, would they eat all of you, or just the cereal parts?
I see no reason why they would eat the non-cereal. unless it was nutritional >:D

To me it seemed like the flemoids just slimed you because you were in the way.
Hmmm, that's a good point, because the bipedici and commoni aren't exactly battle suited, they can only get you up close. Almost like punching or pushing somebody.
But the BWA and Cyclotis are totally battle-oriented.
An idea that occured to me a little while ago is that "what if the (super) cycloptis pod isn't flemoid technology? but IFC technology that those types of flemoids have attached to and assimilated."

IDEA!: What if... something similar like that happened but the guy came out of the experiment Half-Chex, Half-Flemoid. where he could use both Zorchers and various slime powers. he could be defending himself from the Flemoid army as is what always happens. but he could also be fighting off the IFC Chex Squadron who may see him as a massive threat (by being half Flemoid) and because they may want to use him for potentially dangerous (and maybe even painful) experiments.
How does that sound?

Hey guys, take it easy.
@datra: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
A few things: is it possible to set up "separate sides" in GZDoom so that one could witness a squad of Chex Warriors battle a group of Flemoids through AI?
And I've been wondering about the other starships in the Chex Quest Universe (if there are any other than the 3 seen in the intro scene and the Flemoid ship) but I've been getting curious as to what a Cheerio-Ship would look like.
Maybe more like a UFO-shaped ship for the Cheerios?

Have you played episode 4 of CQG2?
What Datra is talkin bout is prolly a cutscene...VERY possible. Newmaps shows Legacy, one of slime's projects shows not a true cutscene, but similar (its more like HL2's cutscenes).
(G)ZDooM is capable of emulating a battle and having you watch it. Mostly by creating a room away from the battle field with cameras (not always controlable, but meh), and spawning a few bots and a few enemies. Mostly would hafta be scripted stuff.
For a good example, get KDiZD and watch the intro.
Not exactly what I was thinking of Atarian (although a cutscene would be epicness) but building off of the idea of being on nobody's side, you could be running from both Chex Warriors and Flemoids. but can it be set up so that if an AI Chex Warrior runs across an AI Flemoid they would fight eachother?
I think slime's mod already has that
How do you do cutscenes in GZdoom?
I'm trying to do an intro cutscene, but I don't think it would be possible
You do it the same way you do ZDooM cutscenes...again, I recomend looking at KDiZD. They have an INTROMAP or something that is scripted heavily to do moving cameras, and initiate the battles.
@Datra: so you mean at one time you're running from Flemoids, next map Chex Squadron, and then in the next map, the two meet and forget about you to fight each other?
What you'd hafta do is find a way to set people enemies to each other. I'm not sure they can be enemies to you AND another faction. To do a mod like that, you'd hafta DECORATE flemoids, DECORATE chex warriors, and then for the battle, just have the flemoids up against some scripted marines. then script a sequence that when all of one party is destroyed, script a small cutscene and switch to a map respective of who won.
No, I mean a cutscene that plays when the game starts.
...OK, like Newmaps?
I have a wad that taught me alot about cameras and text and cutscenes (even how to skip them), but the content of said wad is NOT good. Also, (G)ZDooM cutscenes aren't well documented, as thats something that 'DooM shouldn't have'. They're designed to be security cameras, some times to be linked to a render target texture. But with alot of scripting, you can make smooth stuff.
The camera movements will hafta be mathematically plotted and implemented.
And the wads that have good cutscenes are Glassyman's Gamarra Soul Story wads. It has examples of the basic scripts needed for a cutscene. I shall not link them yet, unless you REALLY want to see...its just I know of no other wad that does stuff like that.
no... I mean it plays when doom launches, before you see the game's menu.
Is that even possible?
If it can't be an intro MOVIE, is it possible to have an animated title screen, like how chexter's foot moves in the intermission screens in E2?
I thought you were talking about Glassyman...*shudder*
Anyways, I haven't seen too many GZDoom cutscenes. If we could find a way, awesome.
...KDiZD. Have you ever looked at it?
You place in a scripted map called INTROMAP and it plays before/during the menu.
if not KDiZD, get Urban Brawl. Same thing. Its all done via scripting in the map. Its not a full shutout (like L4D's intro, its a movie before the game starts, then when it finishes, it loads the game and menu), but most people will wanna watch it before they hit escape.
And CC, I WAS talking bout glassyman. His maps have good examples of simple cutscenes (though the content of said cutscenes aren't always good)
BOTTOM LINE: when using zdoom or gzdoom, there is a map title that automatically plays at the beginning of the game. look it up.
I should have put more emphasis on the "thought" part. When I read the beginning of the other post, I was like, "Hmm, glassyman?" Then you said it.
I've been meaning to play KDiZD, haven't got around to it. Urban Brawl, yes. Fun game.
Great! thank you
I don't like Urban Brawl personally... the Cel shaded graphics are great but I've never really liked that style of story very much (I don't care much for DN3D either)
KDiZD? Is that some wiki, or is that a game?
KDiZD is Knee-Deep in ZDooM. its a mod that basically remade Shareware DooM in the highest quality available to ZDooM. Its chock full of little known features and advanced techniques. I suggest getting it. Runs with Ultimate or Doom2, I believe...
Idea: what if there are really small flemoid larva (like the kind seen in the intro movie) that can sneak into an unsuspecting cereal person through their nose and create the effects of a cold (complete with slime drippings from runny nose) but when left there for too long, they grow the ability to control the mind of the host and (if the flemoids were originally cereal people) press on to transforming the host into a flemoid from the inside out... *looks around*
That's pretty cool, I think you're on to something there ;)

[spoiler]pOrtal: Chex Quest edition![/spoiler]
I WISH IT WAS POSSIBLE.
Yet a mod like that is AMAZINGLY hard.
very true. FPS's are hard enough as is. BUT! I have heard rumors about people successfully replicating pOrtal on the same 3D program I have, so there is hope.
Trust me. Don't try Portal Chex Quest. I tried that before. Didn't turn out too well.
I see nothing to connect Portal to CQ. Flemoids wouldn't really fit in, and really, designing the puzzles in those games takes time.
well there is this.
this is only a test prototype and is not quite as glamorous as the real pOrtal. but it shows that it is indeed possible.
I do have a link to another file that has portals with smoother object-thru-portal transitions (and where you could see through them) and will be getting once the site recovers from maintenence.
That's a scripting mess in Zdoom. There was a mod for ZDoom though, that shot "Portal" as in teleporter portals that teleported the player. You couldn't specify the wall types though.
Did you notice he's talking about blender? Doing anything NEAR real portal in doom would require mass recoding.
I dont really think ZPortal is the best representation of Portal in Doom, but it works well enough to be fun.
