Title: Feature Idea
Post by: J24 on July 24, 2010, 12:13:46 PM: I dont know if this would be possible, but id like to see a button that lets you see the attachment points when attaching an object
there have been so many times i tried to use extender side points but they were facing the wrong way
also, a chariot themed wheel with an attachment point opposite the other one so you can make wheels with spikes on them like so

exept a drive wheel not a steering wheel

Her site contained several RA2 things (ranging from the Wheel Tutorial to custom components) that were later moved to GTM by ACAMS and Goose. They had been paying to keep her site up after her death but the site was falling apart without constant maintenance. Something that made her site different than the rest was that it had a virtual room filled with her RA2 components (for easy previewing).

Post by: powerrave on July 26, 2010, 06:53:10 AM: i never knew that. i had only seen the name mentioned a few times in my time on the RA2 forum and GTM. still, respect for all the great work she had done then.

Yeah, VRML data exported with PyRA2. Since VRML is dead now, I modified PyRA2 to export to a O3D-based webpage (for my robot exchange). I'll probably release them at the same time, so one will be able to do this sort of cool stuff again.
