Yep!

Maybe we can have a big donation jar on the forum to help me raise $400 dollars for the repair.

Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: RedSawn on August 01, 2009, 06:17:01 AM: Sent mine in. (Twice as I submitted the first RAR with a text file with my name on it, but in a download test it wasn't there. So I sent a RAR file with my name on it...)

Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: RedSawn on August 01, 2009, 08:28:34 AM: Yeah. But I only saw fit to skin the outside components. :|

Post by: JoeBlo on August 01, 2009, 08:32:53 AM: well maybe im just going over the top but I want everything to match :-D
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: life robot arena2 on August 01, 2009, 08:51:25 AM: Don't think thats legal Joe.
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: Pwnator on August 01, 2009, 08:54:04 AM: Read again, dude. ACAMS didn't state that skinning insides isn't allowed.
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: life robot arena2 on August 01, 2009, 09:06:51 AM: He never even said anything about skinning the grid.
ACAMS is skinning the grid allowed?
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: Reier on August 01, 2009, 09:10:10 AM: Eh sure, I'll try.

yeah thats what I just asked a page ago ..... also since internal component skins are allowed in BOTM I would say they would be allowed in a Skinning Competition

Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: RedSawn on August 01, 2009, 12:00:33 PM: Best not. MS Paint = No no for skinning..
Unless you did get another program. Forgot. But still. It's not your kind of tourney.

MS Paint isnt a bad program, its just the kids who take the spraycan and just scribble everywhere that give it a bad name. I've done work with several graphics programs in my time, I've found a combination of GIMP and MS Paint work best for me. I can't work well without one or the other. There are some things that work in paint that do not in PS or GIMP.
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: RedSawn on August 01, 2009, 01:34:47 PM: I didn't actually think of that. Huh.

Maybe it was good in it's time. But it's far too featureless in these times to hold a hat to anything.
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: kill343gs on August 01, 2009, 04:43:14 PM: I'm not saying it compares to PS or anything like that, its just sometimes simplicity is a good thing and I personally have found a lot of uses for it.
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: System32 on August 01, 2009, 04:50:21 PM: I use it to import skins and add bots to backgrounds..

It is made to skin, not fight, I have always had trouble skinning the shiny wheels, but every thing else skins nicely and the bot has lots of angles to key in on.

how many of you have downloaded NarAI beta ? that logo down the bottom that Naryar put there ? I made that by modifying his signature image in only MS Paint... (it was all I had access to) like Kill343 said its just kids who spray the can everywhere that give it a bad name... if fact for stock robot screenshots if you use the wand tool of a program like photoshop it will cut into parts of the robot but changing the secondary colour of paint will cut the robots out perfectly :-D

also ACAMS is skinning the chassis grid ok ?
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: ACAMS on August 01, 2009, 09:48:37 PM: I am sure it would make a nice touch.
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on August 02, 2009, 03:05:16 AM: Are we allowed to re-name the bot?
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: RedSawn on August 02, 2009, 03:06:37 AM: Doubt it. I think ACAMS wants you to work with just what you have.
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: JoeBlo on August 02, 2009, 03:07:45 AM: who doesn't like the name Cranium Kruncher ? :-D
Title: Bot Skinning Tournament #4
Post by: ACAMS on August 06, 2009, 10:59:42 AM: Just so every body knows.....it is OK rename the components and skin each component separately as long as you do not move/remove or add components.....or change the chassis in any way. I know that if you want to skin each flipper different you have to remove one.....or both, but they must be put back excatly like they were. DO NOT remove internal components, you will just have to reskin the original. I always made a new game for every skin contest back when we used to have lots of contests. You save the components folder ONLY if you need to delete the game for space reasons. (I have 1500 GB space, so I keep whatever I like)

Yes, you can rename it "Kranium Kruncher" or "Cranium Cruncher" since I messed up on the name.

Post by: JoeBlo on August 20, 2009, 07:09:41 AM: not entirely sure my entry uploaded ok.. ACAMS do you have an entry from me ?
