Well this BOTM does not allow custom components, so it probably can't shoot.

#3: ... Who built that? I want to hug him.

you wrote that about YOUR OWN entry in a previous BOTM...

I still question the use of Lu-Tze Flamethrower spikes on number 3 too...

Number 3 is illegal.

If one little spike is all you can find wrong with it.....then it must be an awesome bot! Several others have "bent" the rules in the past, and I don't really know how he did that, but it looks good.
 
I am going to accept it as it is.
 
Not to say that you guys can start cheating all the time and get away with it either....next time it may get kicked!

difference is you put cheatbot2 allowed in the rules  :yaya)

I don't know for sure that he used custom parts.

those flamethrower spikes on the wings came from Lu-Tze's components pack, most likely got mixed up with a NarAI user since Nary introduced them.

but I dont really care that much, just pointing out the fact we have someone who likes to go against the rules :P

Not even sure. Did the guy actually read the rules before entering, did he forgot the custom component rule in total innocence, or did he just said "screw the rules I has coolness factor" ?

And does he even LIKED to break it if he was conscious about breaking a rule ?

thanks to all who voted and big shout out to 123 on this one.

He is the master craftsman behind this awesome creation, so I wasn't lying when I said I didnt build anything..

He also made the cool glowing small drums, then I pretty much skinned everything else and made the splash.

Awesome job buddy hope you didn't take that kiss thing to seriously :P

PS. all my guesses for who built what were all off too :P I thought Noodle for number 3 and Clickbeetle for number 4 (seemed like his kind of thing to make something historic.. I dont know why)
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Nov 2010
Post by: NFX on November 01, 2010, 09:46:18 AM
Congratulations, Joe. =D There's no stopping you, is there?

I'd just like to explain that I made my entry in NAR AI 2.3, in which the Flamethrowing Spike is in the weapons list as normal. I didn't think I'd win anyway when I saw the rest of the entries, certainly not with #1. Well done to the rest of the entries as well, Noodle and J24. It was a surprisingly low turnout, I thought. Hopefully next month'll see more entries, what with it being Christmas and all.

Its really more 123's victory then mine, I was in it for the fun and also the Starcraft :P

I have had my 2 years on top but I think its going to start to change, people are getting to used to my style so its harder and harder to keep fresh, also other members are catching up no doubt too (your developing as quite a good BOTM builder / threat yourself NFX)

That would be taking the DSL Small Drum

changing the BMP to a green colour

and messing about with a some of the skin settings in the GMF to make it have a glowing effect (I admit, I dont know how to do it myself but 123 manages to make cool skins with shines, reflections, transparency and all that other stuff)
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Nov 2010
Post by: NFX on November 01, 2010, 10:41:15 AM
Reskinned components aren't really custom components, in my view. Not as long as they've got the same values of HP, DP, grip, torque, electotal, etc. as the normal ones. The skirt hinge burst motor that's going around, that's custom, because you've actually had to edit the .txt file, whereas a reskin job you could, theoretically, just change the map. Even though it doesn't quite work like that.

So you are banning reskin components now?

Though I would say that's an unfair assessment given my version on custom showcase isn't even submitted for BOTM.

As long as reskinning is allow, I can reskin every single component and not break a single rule.  Whereas 1 spike is still breaking the rule because it is entirely a custom component.
Title: Re: Vote BOTM Nov 2010
Post by: ACAMS on November 01, 2010, 06:31:35 PM
You made a drum into a firing cannon.

The version Joe send in is a reskin drum.

The version I put up afterward is modded into a cannon, which isn't a BOTM.
