Title: Awesome-looking spinmotor: how do I get it?
Post by: Hard Bot on December 18, 2012, 06:32:42 PM: I found a very cool-looking spinmotor in the UI/Botlab folder. It looked like this:

Was there a .gmf for it somewhere in the components folder? If so, what was the filename? It could of bean useful for good bot-building.

No, there's no more hidden components. This is just something the developers didn't bothered to delete.

Post by: Badnik96 on December 18, 2012, 06:59:03 PM: Could this possibly be the half-finished second Redbird model 027 found a while back?

Post by: Mr. AS on December 18, 2012, 07:06:09 PM: my best guess is that it was what the redbird was originally going to be but the developers went "NAH LETS HALF-ASS IT LIKE THE REST OF THE GAME" and sprayed a horrid red paint on it

and that is why i use sages black redbirds in my stock

Post by: Hard Bot on December 18, 2012, 07:13:45 PM: I found a .gmf in the redbird folder with the filename spinmotor1.gmf. It looked like a Redbird but with no decals and the only attachment point was a little off the motor.

Post by: Jamin on December 18, 2012, 07:16:14 PM: Eh it looks like its just some cut content that got left in the game files. Most PC games do have files leftover from previous beta versions that never got removed.

That is old.

Just a blatant attack on Hard Bot for little reason tbh.

Calm down man, it's not a crime to be late in noticing something.

But yeah, as Marty said, this is just an old leftover file they couldn't be bothered to delete.
