Jaydee99's custom component Showcase

[Jaydee99]

Ok, I'm not SOLELY doing IRL. All my old ones aren't skinned. I used botlab to skin them.
Yeah, I like recruitment. However, my least favourite that I've uploaded is skyflier.
Thanks for the help helloface. Thanks very much.
Naryar, it's 16 actually!
What does IMO mean?
If you don't mind, I'm going to keep the Panic Attack looking De Weapon but glad you like it.

[Badnik96]

They all look bland and messy.

Seconded, I don't think I like a single one of them.

[Lemonism]

Like Mr AS says, I highly recommend you get actually good at normal DSL before using custom components. You will not get any better at building if you just continue to make messy robot after messy robot, whereas if you were building in DSL you could build and improve a single robot and get better advice on it from the community.

[Jaydee99]

Woah, ok. well I said before somewhere I spent a long time on normal DSL2. Anyway, made 2 more for design, not skin;


FOR DESIGN, NOT SKIN!

[KOS]

Eww, they look ugly. At least skin them so they look like decent IRL bots

[helloface]

Sorry, my fault. I should have elaborated.
The bots look very plain, it's often the chassis, weapon, and a few external components. The point of custom components are to do things that you couldn't regularly do in stock and DSL. Everything you've done can easily be recreated in stock since there's really not anything fancy or original going on. You're not learning anything by doing this. You need to build bots in DSL or you won't improve.

[Badnik96]

Please stop spamming decals it hurts my eyes

[Shield]

seriously kid.

just listen to the vets.

stick to dsl. learn up, and then later only build with custom.

look at me.

i first played stock for 5 days then got DSL.

it got me nowhere, the motors were confusing, everything essentially was confusing. even now, after a good 3-4 years of playing RA2 I have only just got into Text editing, and am still making no plans on making any of my own custom components

in the wise words of Bruce Lee, "I fear not the man who practices 10,000 kicks one time, but the man who practices 1 kick 10,000 times."

so please

go back to dsl

build, learn, improve.

The first bot isn't bad at all, however the square extender looks kinda dumb, I would suggest something like this:

 A wedge like this may look nice too:

You should also bring in the motors more so the wheels don't stick out of the chassis.

As for Postal Order Package, the chassis is kinda of a weird shape, you really don't need to have it sloped in the front. 2WD with larger wheels would look a lot less awkward that set up you have now.

Also, you can guys please explain what is wrong with him using custom components? I mean he is having fun and as the wise Jack Daniels once said, the most important thing in RA2 is to have fun in the first place. On top of that, most you guys don't even seem to be trying to give him actual advice on his robots other than "hurr durr the skin sucks" or "they are bland".

P.S. You should check out Ironforge sometime Jaydee (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16448.0), I feel like it would suite you better than DSL 2.1 which everybody else has been telling you to build in.

I've checked out Ironforge and going to download. Looks great!
The extendor is to attach the side panel which acts as a protector.
What do you mean by 2WD? and the bit in bold, thank you so much. This is a great point.

my god what have i caused

[090901]

What do you mean by 2WD?

2 wheel drive, right now you have 4 wheels which doesn't look that great.

[dezox]

I feel like alot of your bot use to big wheels try to get smaller wheels or place them higher. for balance and to make it more jump around less when you use weapon.also other robots will have harder to flip you


Another thing is that you should make smaller chassis since you left most of it empty

[Jaydee99]

BTW, the two bots I previously uploaded are 2WD.
I'll try to get some bots uploaded tonight along with that Replica arena. Most of the bots I'll be uploaded will be Ironforge TC because it's one of the best mods on here. Small components that don't take up space buit still have huge effects. And the piston is just immence.

[Jaydee99]

Ok, more bots. Most have been made on Ironforge TC and unskinned. Hope you all like them;












There you go!

[NeighImACarrot]

Can I say those are quite literally the worst looking robots I have ever had the misfortune to see.

[El Chickenado]

holy botdump, batman!
ill go fast
no
maybe?

Take more time building your bots, I can tell a lot of these took very little time if any time at all.

Most of them did take a long time. Others, not so much.

My personal favourite is IronTide. It's not destructive at all with the piston and I can't attach anything to it but looks awesome in my opinion. Ramtide and second best are some of my others but Second Best has one flip but loads of power!

[helloface]

Atomic's friend looks fragile and the skin looks like gay puke.
Why is the scoop on a beta motor for Bassline.
Hero Wannabe has a weird messy chassis and looks bland.
Irontide doesn't even have a weapon but it doesn't look too bad.
Ramside is stupidly overpowered and looks even more retarded than Napalm's Nemisis.
Rotate Dummy is overpowered and somewhat bland, but at least it looks clean from the outside.
I actually like Second Best other than the intense battery spam.
Shadow Striker isn't too bad.
Speaker Eater is super bland and ugly.
And finally, I like Your Demons.


Stop pumping out lots of mediocre bots and learn DSL. At least put more effort into your designs.
