Title: Lemonism's Custom Showcase
Post by: Lemonism on December 06, 2014, 07:29:07 PM
This probably won't be updated often, but here it is anyway.

This is my first robot that uses a BFE'd chassis, and also uses a custom flipper component and skirt hinge burst. Name is Invidia:

Bloody hell, that's awesome! Really nicely done, man, although I would've done the chassis damage totally different.

Here's another robot, this time using a re-skinned DarkRat's shell spinner, along with re-skins of the hypno tooth and ronin flags:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91142custom1.jpg)
The off-centre attachment point of the shell spinner meant the chassis couldn't be the exact right size. Eventually I'll try to fix that in the .gmf.

Thanks! I don't really know how long it took I'm afraid, because I've been working on it bit by bit in the evenings for a few days.

I usually don't like these types of bots but it seems this is an exception. Great job.

Damn man, you're good. One thing that kinda bugs me is the flags aren't connected on that spinner.

Good point, can't believe I missed that. Added a hex plate to fix that problem a little bit:

So here's a robot. Name = Red Rat
Tried some ideas out with the camo pattern on this one. I'm not able to use my desktop for a bit, so I had to reinstall all my lovely paint.net plugins, and also contend with the fact that my laptop processes 2048x2048 images far slower than the more powerful desktop.

Unfortunately it's quite difficult to play with this bot at the moment due to weak armour, but I'm sure that will be fixed by the upcoming armour patch.
Otherwise, Robot Wars mod is pretty great so far. Couple of suggestions would be:
-Robots with invisible flippers probably shouldn't be able to use the invisible flippers once the visible one has been torn off. I think maybe using the 'Weapons' part of the bindings could get them to change tactic once the visible flipper is lost?
-Meggamouse ears to put on our robots! (unless I missed those while making this bot :S)
Not that anyone cared, but the reason I was away for a little while was that I developed an allergy to garry's mod avatars. It's alright now though, I've got some medicine for it.

Armors are currently set to be 7.2 times stronger than the current selection of armors (and 3.6 times stronger than DSA).

Yes, even the thought of them makes me feel ill.
Just a joke about my absence from gtm, which seemed (to me) to have coincided with a small influx of gmod avatars. The real reason I've been away is a bit dull

This is for sure on the cards. Gonna take forever though so it might just be the top 15 teams and other very notable flippers that get done for the xmas expansion.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the mod though. Hope certain aspects worked out well for you :)

New robot: Ghost Mantis

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66782ghostmantis1.png)
Back:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56671ghostmantis2.png)

This one's a flipper, similar to Karnivore in my DSL showcase, and is my heavyweight counterpart to Orchid Mantis (which can I just say I love, you've done fantastically at turning my chicken scratch into an actual cool looking robot  :smile:).
Since the ghost mantis IRL is camouflaged to look like a dead leaf I made use of an actual leafy texture for this skin, albeit with quite a bit of editing done to it.
The beater bars you can see are there for two reasons:
-Extra damage is nice
-Robots seemed to have a nasty habit of clipping through the claws at times, these stop that happening quite nicely.
I also have a version of this robot with a servo instead of a burst for the weapon, but the burst is more effective overall.

To illustrate that, here's a cool shot I got from a match against Hypno:

Most of the replica claws/hammers have two parts that you need to attach to a mega adapter.

More RW RA2
Working with diagonal skins again was great fun. Especially the part where I almost lost about an hour's worth of work when paint.net nearly crashed.

Here's some more RW RA2. This one's pretty much a sequel to my DSL2 bot Cheshire Cat, which looked like this:

That's a fair comment. I did try it out with stripes initially, but I found that they didn't suit the bot's theme so well IMO.
Here's a picture of an earlier/work in progress version of the skin for reference:

Bonus wip/'unpainted' version, from before I decided it should be darker and BFE swapped all the extenders:
Takes a really long time to load, given the combination of loads of extenders and 2048x2048 skin
If only house robots worked in RA2, it's great fun battering featherweights with this one

Two of my favourite robots right now are Bronco and Dystopia. So, I thought why not combine them:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31803broncopia1.png)

Back:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74991broncopia2.png)

I put a couple of invisible flippers on it, including one that fires downwards (in the same way as Beast does in RWRA2), so it's pretty acrobatic when it flips:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19949broncopia3.png)

And finally here's an alternate version with staggered wheels and hazard lights:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73611broncopia4.png)

Lining up the weld lines was a pain as always, but doing the top panel was more fun.
Here's hoping that RA3 exports skins better than RA2 does.

By making use of Serge's Component Freedom patch (thanks Serge!) I was able to make the flipper look a little more consistent:

So, I tried RA3 out, but really couldn't do what I wanted to with it. I think it might be a little while before I try it again.
In the meantime, new robot:

Alternative version with aluminium extenders for a bit more colour consistency, but I don't really like it so much:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72501mutant4.png)

Overall a fairly simple design + skin, only about 20 layers between 4 files (one main file, one for the mouth, one for both sets of eyes). Pretty fun to make the eyes, and made use of Sergepatcher with the extender frame.
