Title: PROJECTBB2016
Post by: TommyProductionsInc on August 17, 2016, 12:17:32 AM
Yup, I'm making another one.

I'll be revising old models and creating new ones. So far, these new ones include-

Little Pharma (Needs revision)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72416Little Pharma.JPG)
Torquemada
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86934Torquemada.jpg)
Aaaand Zugzwang
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98084Zugzwang.jpg)

I'll make these bots more accurate in performance and durability, since the BBAI modpack was a total mess.

This will include old and new Battlebots competitors. :D

I still need a tutorial on decompiling and texturing wheels. Then I can finish Mecha Tentomushi.  ;)

If you make the new BattleBots season 1 and 2 Replicas and they look actually good, I'll pay you 50 Dollars. I'm not even joking.

Heh, personally I don't think it would be too difficult to recreate bots as long as you can have custom components.

Yup, during testing it did a good job against the DSL Lightweights. The inside of the shell can use a little work, but I'm satisfied for now.

Post by: TommyProductionsInc on August 19, 2016, 11:05:34 PM
Thanks guys! My first main priority is to restore and/or rebuild as many of my old Battlebots replicas as possible. The BBAI 2014 pack was a huge mess, but this mod will be much more organised.

I still can't make custom wheels with unique, seperate textures. All I did for Tentomushi was replace the original granny wheel texture with something else.

Lastly, I can't finish old replicas like Chinkilla and CUAD the Crusher, due to texturing errors and the need for custom components. So, I'll just make "knock-off" versions of them. Whether it be recolors or differently shaped weapons, these knock off competitors will hopefully be good substitutes.
Title: Re: Battlebots 2017 Replica Pack
Post by: TommyProductionsInc on August 20, 2016, 11:58:05 PM
Phew! Finished up 2 SHW's for the pack, one new and one old.

First, something new: Hamunaptra.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29853hamunaptra.JPG)
Ok, he's not a new robot, but I haven't tried replicating him before.

Randomly picked off the wiki, don't expect much from this guy. He uses customized smart-zones as make-shift ballasts, since making SHW replicas is hard to do.

Next, back from the original BBAI modpack, it's Little Blue Engine!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9386lbe.JPG)
The original replica was all about looks. This version is about performing just like the real one. The only thing left unchanged was the chassis, since I liked the paint-job I gave him. New custom motors, modified wheels (they'll fall off like they did in real life), mediocre lifting mechanism, good speed and superb pushing power. In fact, he nearly pulled a Storm2 and just about threw Velociraptor out the arena in one push.

To give you an idea of how much power this thing has, here's what happened when he hit the ramp at full speed:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10445lbeflying.JPG)

Ok, maybe I'm over-glorifying him a little bit, but I can't help it. I worked all day on bring this guy back from the original mod, and I plan to do the same with the others.

Now, initially I wanted to just restore my old Zion replica, but I ended up completely rebuilding it:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84475Zion.JPG)
The weapon works like the real thing, and it's fairly stable, despite using chained burst motors.

He's also a great break-dancer:

Yup, I like collecting plushies.

Firstly, here's an upgraded Tentomushi, now equipped with a buzzsaw, and STILL a lightweight:

Thanks guys! Here's some updates:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39932Pitbot_Updated.png)
First, I realized that PitBot had these arrows on his sides that told which way was forward, so yeah, I fixed the other side to aim the right way as well. Also gave him custom parts, since he started out with just DSL2.2 components.
I did the same with Little Pharma. Also did a little reskinning:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96676Little_Pharma_Updated.png)

He is now:

@tommy you could probably figure out how to resize things really easily yourself since trov made this excel file https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/GMF_Rotate+Shift+Scale.rar that makes it super easy. would probably help for things like the eyes on mega tento

so basically you have a program and no idea on how to make parts with it?

I dunno.

Also, I would rather have armor panels and stuff come in multiple parts, rather than just be one big shell with some accessories like in the Robot Wars modpack.

Also, I'm sure I won't need custom armor panels for Chronic's chassis. However, judging from what I've seen from you so far, I think you CAN help me with something a bit better:

I'm planning on finishing a Chinkilla replica, but I can't get the replica flipping arm. If I provided you with the robot (minus flipper) do you think you could model the chin component?

 MAJOR UPDATE!

Due to the increasing popularity of the IRL pack, I'll be revising all my replicas (including the current ones) AGAIN to accommodate these new parts.

Do year, the time being, expect a bit of a delay with the replicas. If anything, I'll just show WIP images of them. I've already got a new replica of Blade Runner ready to be given custom components.
Title: Re: PROJECTBB2016
Post by: TommyProductionsInc on November 30, 2016, 12:06:08 AM
*Triple posting for attention. #ShamelessJackass*

Anyway, I've gotten Biteforce, Little Pharma, and Ogre adapted to use the IRL component pack. Also, have finished prototypes of Blade Runner and Hammertime. Just need to give them invisible components and a paint-job.

I think I'll contact DSC and see if I can help him with the develpment of the IRL pack, to speed things up a little bit.

Here's some more:

Blade Runner
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59193Blade Runner.PNG)
I added a secret, invisible 3rd wheel near the front so that he can spin a LOT faster. It's driven by a small cheat motor concealed withing the arm of his pickaxe. It performs much like the real one.
Scrap Daddy LW55
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80794Scrap Daddy Left Side.PNG)
Still not fully tested yet. Still looks good. I went a little crazy making sure every small bit was accurate. (Even the blue plastic bin thing is there, at the back.

(The image quality on my monitor is not that advanced.)

Anyway, here's a trifecta of triangle-based bots I made into replicas:

TriMangle:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83593TriMangle.PNG)
During testing of this bot, I noticed the weapon system destroy every robot in it's path. This is, without a doubt, my most powerful replica yet. I'll need to nerf the weaponry for the sake of accuracy.
Bermuda Triangle:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20877Bermuda Triangle.PNG)
This bot may need to be revised with a simpler chassis, since this bot seems to enjoy freezing and/or crashing my computer at times. His weapon has invisible matilda teeth that do damage.
Aggressive Polygon:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37381The Aggressive Polygon.PNG)
This bot was a lot of fun to work on. Nuff' said.

I've also retextured Timmy and Mecha Tentomushi, who's getting a revised shell. I tried making Hypershock but I suck at making drum spinners, so I failed pretty badly. I'll probably some time later.

Time to dust this off and present both some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: Due to other interests and ambitions I've decided to stop working on this project indefinitely.

Good news: I compiled all the stuff I DID manage to get working and have it in a RAR file. Anyone who wants to continue my work, or at the very least see what I got done, just message me, and I'll TRY and see if I can transfer a copy to you.
