It might not ever happen, but we can sure as

try.

Havok + Super havok = Mega havok

But. Would the arena be makeable in Ra2? The demo has the gmf and the map files.

Could be possible- I can see it being quite a fun arena to play in. What hazards does it have?

From what I seen in the video and pictures a sawblade, what looks like the flippers in the octagon, oil? and 2 pits.

Two pits and a sawblade, eh? In which case, it's definitely worth looking into.

~~Oh, and for those of you that cant get the other bots to work you have to press the appropriate number to initiate the camera on the bot and then press F11 to gain control of it.~~

Edit: Apparently I can only change bots when I am recording with FRAPS.... I changed my record settings to F9 and then found that I couldn't switch bots using F11... but I could switch bots using F9 instead. I have NO idea why this is. But, fact is, when i record I can control the other bots too. Weird.

But yeah. I agree that the movement seems really fluid and zippy... but it is a splendid Havok Fest altogether. I laughed so hard when I tried to get them to move around and they would frickin' bounce off everything. At one point I hit the moving blade and my bot soared into the air in slow-mo like the gravity got turned off... it bounced around a few times before coming to a halt. Silly stuff.

So you could basically play this as the battle music in accordance with the physics?

It's very glitchy. See JD's vid.

I know that, but if we mix the right blend of RA2 and this Tech Demo, imagine what we could accomplish.

a half-assed RA2?

Somebody · « **Reply #29 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:26:03 PM »

1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

1/4 assed game. Certifiably.

Y'know what I find interesting about this tech demo though...

It supposedly came out before RA2... yet Nightmare strikes me as something that would be available in DSL. Also, the chassis on Yellow Vulture is actually pretty awesome. We don't have the capability to make a chassis like that in RA2. Though... since there are no bot files in the game... I would guess that the bots in the tech demo are just controllable components rather than actual assembled bots. At one point when I was goofing off, Yellow glitched out and the chassis split open for a moment... there was nothing inside that I could see.

So, those of you that are dreaming of modding the Tech demo... there isn't really much to play with. By my estimates, its just a bunch of controllable components that you can move around into each other and bounce them off the walls. Really simple... though kinda mean for them to tease such things when really RA2 didn't even come close to the level of building complexity that they apparently wanted to achieve.

For some reason I can't view each bot with Serge's GMFView. D:

You posted him here a while back IIRC.

Thanks SM

Woah is really creepy though..

I was drawing up plans for a Backlash arena last night which was to be a square arena with 2 starting ramps and a large killsaw in the middle..

Yet I never seen or heard about this arena until now.. 0_0
