Title: Hammer of Judgment
Post by: Firebeetle on September 20, 2009, 04:23:40 PM: As I promised several weeks ago, here is my new work of bot.

Hammer of Judgment is designed to smaller and more arena-friendly than Hammer of Justice, but still be just as unfriendly to bots. It has some beastly power, weighing in at about 4 million kgs (able to bully the car in the garage with sheer pushing power). Additionally it has a piston hammer that can fling bots across the arena. It also looks cooler than the original IMO.
It was difficult to get good screenshots, so just be patient for the download. I'll be getting the final version to CB ASAP.

Lol, that was so funny that I laughed 2 minutes...

Post by: Madiaba on September 21, 2009, 07:33:40 AM: Very nice, FB. A vid would be cool (if you can get it to work)....like moving and SMASHING something...:bigsmile:
From the pics only, it looks like you utilized custom components and BFE, with considerable effort.

Reminds me a bit of Apanx's Battleship.

A couple years ago I BFE-ed a 'Mega'-bot like this one of yours (for lack of a better term) called 'Absolute Assimilator'. I fashioned it after Goose's "Donut bot", with a very large square hole in the middle of its chassis. It was AI-ed to move straight over an enemy (via range), and then lift the enemy (via force) up into it's center 'termination chamber', and then dismantle the bot (via damage) limb by limb/component by component,... hehe. I added 'bot-fire' too. The pieces would fall out the bottom as detached. It was never made aesthetic like yours here is, though, and I wanted to add some wav files for effect. I'll look for it and post a vid if I find it...

BTW: Nice to see you around... Got more stuff to show?

I want to see that.

Did Firebeetle make all those parts by hand, or did he use 3DsMax?

Although HOJudgement looks awesome... this sounds epic too. Always been my style, taking bits off.

But HOJudgement looks amazing, just the look of it... wow ^_^

Actually, no bot file editing- everything you see is a component. There is just a one square chassis hidden in a little chamber near the back. It was some considerable effort to make all those parts (no 3DSM). I built the bot on a 1/5 scale for construction ease and testing, then made it huge.
As for other stuff, my most recent RA2 activity has just been HOJ2 of course and some covert ops with CB. I have a few dubiously showcaseable bots from a while back though...

Click here to get Hammer of Judgment (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/HOJ2.zip)

I've added HoJ and (finally) the precision blueprint grids to my downloads page. (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/robotarena.htm)

I've got to say FB did an awesome job, I just tried Hammer of Judgment and it is arguably more fun than Hammer of Justice, and definitely cooler looking.

Post by: JoeBlo on October 03, 2009, 05:06:06 AM: I only just got the time to install it, rather then ramble on for a paragraph I thought I would just post some screenshots as a review :-D

First off tried some tabletop action and sent Eye Poker completely flying

(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/westcoastdrags/hoj1.png)

then tried deathmatch and found the hammer wasnt the only weapon...

all in all FB you put the fun back into...
"insainlypowerfulextremelyoverthetopcustomrobotsthatdestorystockAIwithoutbreakingasinglesweat",

Post by: Pwnator on October 03, 2009, 05:38:15 AM: It's gonna be the same thing. If your bot is heavier than Eye Poker, it will have a lower flight arc. But a flight nonetheless. :P
