Custom components
« on: June 17, 2012, 09:05:08 AM »
I am thinking of copying and reconfiguring cheatbot components and balancing their attributes with standard DSL components. This is so I have the variety and flexibility of cheatbot components with less cheatiness. If I used the components do I need to have a custom showcase?

I'd say so, yes. If they were just reskins then that would be fine. But as you're changing their attributes...

Yeah, I'd say custom to that. Just to be on the safe side.

any bot with components that you edit (.txt*, .gmf*) go into custom, reskins (.bmp, .tga) and cheatbot2 (irl building) go in stock/dsl

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Bad definition, by that logic any bot I have reskinned should be a "custom" bot as I had to touch the .gmf and .txt files.

If a component is created or altered in such a way that its shape, features or attributes do not match up with components that are already found in either Stock or DSL, then that component becomes a custom component.

I'd say that was a fairly good description.
