It's somewhere in the .bot file, It's to do with the line where you can determine which armour it has, I think. I'm fairly sure it's the last number out of the five that determines chassis shine, but I'm not entirely certain how to alter it properly.

It determines the intensity of shine somehow, and is apparently a number from 0-100.  The first three numbers are RGB values and the fourth is opacity (of the shine, not the actual chassis... unfortunately).
 
You can also add a reflection map (like the shiny hub wheels) to make it super shiny.  Find the word 'false' that comes right after the second block of gibberish (the first block of gibberish is the preview picture, the second is the skin) and change it to 'true'.  It doesn't look good on boxy chassises though.  It's best on complicated chassises or ones with bent sides.
OK- I might have a look into it. Come to think of it, if it's possible, this might be a good initial prototype for a DSl3 Mortis, with its similar-to-IRL functionality (right down to the Beta-styled axe). Not a request persee, but more of a potential suggestion.

I'm too much of a perfectionist to settle for an RA2 chassis for Mortis.  I'd need to make it with custom components, and use actual tank treads.
 
Besides, I don't need any more HW replicas.

I wasn't referring to appearance, but more in the way it functioned- so that it could have potentially been adapted in the ways you suggested, with the custom parts and tank tracks and things.
 
And that's alright- it was more of a suggestion than anything, really. Although, if you've got a sufficient amount of HWs...
...you did get Cassius II into there beforehand, right?   :laughing

How do you make a flatter chassis than you can in the bot lab? Where is it in the bot file?  :confused:

Yeah I know, unfornunately I couldn't get anything between 45 and 67.5 baseplate anchor. 67.5 didn't work because the flatmotor passed through the chassis which it wouldn't allow.

You could angle the chassis a little bit more so that didn't happen.

Try a multi extender with a flipper segment attached.  You will have a bit more freedom to place it near the edge of the chassis and there are a variety of angles to choose from with flipper segments.

Any angle in increments of 10 degrees is possible bu just using the side attachment points of a multi extender and some form of round one.
Better than GK since 2009.

You'll need the Mortis Blade to use it, which I've enclosed- copy the TXT file into the components folder. Enjoy!

My Recyclopse rep is bad. XD But GF's reps do seem to be up to a pretty good standard.

I feel like making reps of all the Robot Wars Series 1 bots now. I have exactly three so far. I think.

Looks pretty good.  I can't say I'm a a fan of the blade off to one side, but more power to you for using the Overkill motor to get  a proper Mortis-style axe.  As far as the skin goes, please I beg of you, use an external editing program, not the bot lab tools, and especially no edge lines. 

But it's great that so many people like yours so good job.
