[Monster] new Black Widow Spawnclass - with new skin

[AttackGorilla]

Adds the black widow spawnclass to the game, using the new black widow spider skin.
I suggest not using the black widow spider skin previously posted alongside this spawnclass mod, as you might get confused between the spider types (though both mods are compatible).
unzip and place full file structure into your %appdata%\Runic Games\Torchlight\mods

download: http://www.torchlit.net/latest-mods/item/download/111.html or http://www.runicgamesfansite.com/torchlightmods/file/341/download/342
This mod alters a few spawnclasses so that the black widow gets added into the random monster lineup in the mines and such (let me know if I missed any common spider spawnclasses). This mod should also be compatible with TorchEd for the other modders out there who want to add the black widows to their dungeons. enjoy.

they do more damage than your average spider and are a bit faster, so be careful...


If all you want is the simple reskin of the spider then that is still available here:

original skin - note the new monster is smaller than in this image:

Looks cool

You should make a new spider for the skin, make it a little smaller and more un-assuming, but give it a crazy strong poison bite

Then you'll have to be real careful around big groups of spiders in case you miss the widow

They spawn just as often as the other normal spiders. You can adjust those values in the spawnclass files to your liking.

OMG! Nice work.^^
But is coming into conflict with the Low-res Texture Mod

TorchLeech - Conflict check results:
SAME FILENAME: 'Low-Res Texture Mod (1.0)' & 'Black Widow (Spider Reskin) (1.0)' @ spider_redo.dds --- 'media\models\spider\spider_redo.dds'

Is this the same Black widow, which is used in the Aegis Ruins map pack from gorogorosama?

If you use the complete black widow mod in the first links you do not need the reskin mod provided on the second set of links. The seconds set of download links are purely reskins if you do not want the new monster, but insted just a spider reskin.

I was unaware of this. This is not the same. I created this one while oblivious to the fact another existed. Taking a look at the picture of gorogorosama's widow it does visually looks about the same, but I doubt goro altered the stats and spawnclasses exactly the same way I did.... don't know.

I guess redundancy was bound to happen eventually since nothing is very organized on the forum and I do not have time to read every thread or look up every mod. oh well.... I guess this is an additional/alternate widow for you.

Actually this is the 2nd time someone beat me to the punch on a mod.

Ok, thank you
