Hrmm

Yep, i think i will enter this, good idea on the millitary vehicle thing BTW, it definately mixes things up a bit.

G.K. · « **Reply #5 on:** October 02, 2010, 05:07:57 AM »

I know exactly what I want to make. Doing it will be the challenge.

*runs off to find Madiaba*

My question still stands: Can we make futuristic stuff?

Damn, no custom parts... I actually have made the Mammoth Tank from C&C Renegade in DSL, but I think it is a SHW and it uses custom cannons tank treads and the Mega adapter.

I tought I had posted it in my showcase, but I quess I was wrong. I will fetch a few screens and post them soonish in my showcase.

Edit: It seems like that games Styles folder is corrupt that I have this bot in, so I cant open the bot ingame(crash) or even open/copy/move/delete the styles folder, I keep geting Cyclic redoncary check error, or something like that, a crapton of files and folder on that harddrive give the same error, wich is why im having it being recovered to another harddrive before I lose everything(850Gb of stuff) And the recovery has been going on for 4 hours and theres is still 23hours remaining. So wait alittle, k?

I feel like making a dragon tank from Generals. It is my absolute favorite really.

NFX · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2010, 07:30:40 AM »

I've got an idea. =D

powerrave · « **Reply #14 on:** October 05, 2010, 08:30:24 AM »

i just realised something... a splash may be quite in the way for me. i suck at making those, and i don't have any actual powerful opponents to fight (only having Stock and DSL 2.1, no other custom stuff). so even if i would make a food bot, my entry will still suck =[

NFX · « **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:56:45 AM »

Your splash doesn't necessarily have to have battleshots in it, it just needs to make the robot look cool. Many of JoeBlo's winning splashes didn't feature battleshots at all, stuff like Tri-Mangle and Mystery Pyramid.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:59:13 AM »

pretty much.. who wants to see the same old arena over and over

I have even reskinned arenas before just to make the splash look better :P

Naryar · « **Reply #17 on:** October 05, 2010, 10:01:49 AM »

This is splash of the month anyways. The fighting capability doesn't matters a lot.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #18 on:** October 05, 2010, 10:20:53 AM »

eh.. I dont think of it like that myself.. I never aim to be dependent on the splash,

I did suggest a splash-less voting and then the winner displays the splash on the front page (so its not the same dull bot lab pic every month)

Madiaba · « **Reply #19 on:** October 05, 2010, 10:22:43 AM »

Yep.
Many BOTM entries have claimed 'potential' instead of 'actual' characteristics.
It's mostly 'splash' skills now.
