Civilization: Beyond Earth - Aliens

***These models were ripped from the files of CivBE, as well as the textures.***

VERSION TWO IS OUT!
Please make sure your files are up-to-date and refer to the Change Notes to see what's new.

This workshop mod contains the many aliens from Civilization: Beyond Earth that plague the worlds you spawn on. Each alien has a fairly well-designed bone structure, and while some parts aren't movable, many more are posable.

Todo list:
* Optimize the bone structure for each alien and make it more easier to determine what each bone does. (Basically naming bones to better describe what that bone controls. There's a few that are just called "Bone01" or something similar. These were ripped straight from the files with no alterations to their bone structures)

* Find a way to enhance the quality of the models. (Such as making pincers and jaws on certain aliens posable)
** (Optional) Add mutilations for the aliens. (Gibs, etc.)

* (Optional) Modify the scale of each alien, so they can fit easier in maps, although they can be manually scaled by users.

* (Optional) Add different colours to each alien to reflect strains of each type. Inspired by a workshop mod in Civ:BE. The mod in question is found right here and was made by Nutzzz and Shadow who permitted me to use their alien strain textures. You can find the mod here:

***I likely won't rip any other models from the game and instead, leave it to others. But if this gets overwhelming positive support, I may reconsider.***

Includes:
aliens\barbalien.mdl (Wolf Beetle)
aliens\bombardier.mdl (Manticore)
aliens\drone.mdl (Drone)
aliens\raptor.mdl (Raptor Bug)
aliens\seamonster.mdl (Sea Dragon)
aliens\seatank.mdl (Kraken)
aliens\wolfbeetle.mdl (Wolf Beetle)*
aliens\worm.mdl (Siege Worm)**

*This model doesn't seem to have been used in the final game (It is called wolfbeetle in the files). It was possibly scrapped during development, and its name passed onto the Wolf Beetle seen in-game. The emblem for aliens collectively however, seems to have been based off its design, as well as the emblem for Wolf Beetles on the field. Nevertheless, I found and salvaged it, for you to use as you see fit.

**Unlike the other models, the Siege Worm has a bodygroup to toggle. The two bodygroup options are to either have it closed (Like it is when idle in-game) or open (When it's attacking or melee-attacked in-game).


***If you do use these in a video or whatever, just give a nod in my direction, and maybe drop a link here. Just something to tell me that this whole thing wasn't a waste of time.***
