Cheers, wish you didnt let me see his face to be honest haha. Will have a look when I'm home.

Don't worry about the skype,apple problem at the moment. There is plenty of waiting time till you can learn, assuming your in this for the long run. Best wait until you complete your Battlebots mod before I teach you the complex stuff otherwise you'll end up making everything again like I did!

I wouldn't mind teaching a few people so they can make a Combots Mod, seeing as its one of the only Robot Fighting Shows still around you can get help and sponsorship from roboteers and the company themselves.

Here's a pic of the prototype, so you can have a sense of scale:

And don't worry everyone, the final design will look MUCH more accurate.

Combots died in '13 actually :V

Chinkilla looks awesome so far, will it have a custom chin?

HereticBlue · « **Reply #5623 on:** July 20, 2014, 07:04:45 PM »

looks sweet so far mate, I'll get the chin/scoop thing sorted for you tomorrow evening.

Badnik, Its being started up again under new organisers but the arena is undergoing a massive rebuild to meet FRA Rules & Terms so they can come to Europe.

Do you mean the World Combot Championship? Because this is the first I've heard of ComBots starting up again.

I don't think so, at least it wasn't under that name. The website did mention that the robogames rendition of combots has been stopped and that they owned the arena and promo gear and they were renovating it all.

I discovered the link on the FRA, i know your on there as I sent you a PM. If I find the site again I'll send you the link.

If you look at my post last night I mentioned I'm an uncle of 3, soon to be 4... Well Just 4 hours after that post, I became just an uncle of 4 so the RA2 stuff will be slow for a while!

Heh, congrats

Congrats. Id like to learn the basics of gmf file editing, and experiment with gmf files. I work best from reading, but i can do voice/screen share via skype if needed.

This is probably off topic but

As for mods, mods are only as good as the effort and time people out into them. There is much for to be improved other than the components, arenas and UI. Hopefully when this is out, there will be better graphics, new sounds and music and better animation. I have to admit this will probably be the biggest thing since DSL, unless 123 has tweaked the sounds and/or graphics. I do understand he's trying to add more weight classes and stuff so he's definitely getting somewhere. Will there be more people like him, myself, and the DSL crew? We'll have to wait and find out.

Sorry to disappoint you but I am more of an econ guy than a programmer/3D graphic designer.

The only goal I have is game function, i.e. that components are balanced, collision fits well, easy to use, and works well with havok engine. Looks/graphics/sounds are sadly neither my strong suit nor my interest. All I wanted was a competitive platform and spend about 10x more time in the inner working than the outer skin.

The self-enforced weightclass change is purely a work around for the havoks engine. Dropping the weight of all the components in half improve performance significantly.

That's nowhere near nitpicky.

Jaydee99 · « **Reply #5637 on:** July 22, 2014, 04:12:50 PM »

Looks good anyway.
Is there a way to BFE the height to it's small enough? I'm not experienced with BFE at all.

HereticBlue · « **Reply #5638 on:** July 22, 2014, 04:53:04 PM »

Its components better consist pepperoni and jalapeños.

RpJk · « **Reply #5639 on:** July 22, 2014, 05:00:22 PM »

Its not a Dominos box.

1/10 for you.
