Good to see another T and Y in a username

I don't know about the widescreen thing. Was looking for it some time ago. But it should be in RA3 as it is a standart in pretty much every game nowdays

Reier · « **Reply #201 on:** July 25, 2015, 03:30:25 PM »

just edit ra2.cfg to your widescreen resolution and it works fine

ie
FullScreen=1
FSDisplayWidth=1600
FSDisplayHeight=900
FS3DDisplayWidth=1600
FS3DDisplayHeight=900

Yo, are you the one Goose gave the "gay" avatar to?
On topic though: how much would you guys bet that RA3's stock AI will be based on the 2015 BattleBots competitors, like the RA2 stocks were largely based off of contemporary robots?
Hopefully that means they have proper grabbers this time - there were plenty of those in Battlebots.

If that happens I will unleash terror. I have so many grabber ideas that are simply not possible in RA2

I remember trying that before but had some problems with it. But I think I was having problems in general with that install of the game that i'm not having now so i'll give it another shot. Thanks.

There's like a thousand things they could add to this game that could improve it from it's RA2 predecessor. I am excited for the game, but I do question how good the research put into the game will be, and how realistic they can make it. I also worry that because RA2 was kinda simple it made it easy to mod. If they make this new one realistic that could make it difficult to mod it successfully as it may all rely on certain animations, ect. for it to run properly. But I guess we'll see!

@Reier does that stretch everything though? Or is it evenly expanded?

@Wham: HIIIII long time no see, I love how this brings everybody out of the woodwork.

Reier · « **Reply #206 on:** July 25, 2015, 08:59:07 PM »

Only thing a little buggeed is very bottom of chassis creation and bot lab windows cut off but other than that it looks perfect, not stretched at all

Cody Furlong · « **Reply #207 on:** July 25, 2015, 09:22:40 PM »

Something I hope they put into 3 is the ability to nudge parts around on the bot, so that you can more easily adjust where you attach things. The way it is, now, with constantly having to attach, delete, attach, delete, things, when trying to adjust their postions, is way too tedious and time consuming.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #208 on:** July 25, 2015, 10:01:11 PM »

You can cheat that with bot file editing; the components' positions are listed as cartesian coordinates

Tygron · « **Reply #209 on:** July 25, 2015, 11:52:23 PM »

Never got into the bot file editing but that would make some things much better. Personally i'd like to move things around a little bit after placed. Sometimes you like the overall design but need an extra extender before that piece or need to move the motors back or something and it's really tedious to get done. I'm sure most here would agree. Like let me disconnect a chunk of a weapon array and edit stuff and put it back or something. Let me save this cluster of parts or something if it's something I use a lot or want to use again but modify later for something else. There's a lot of things that could really be done here.

Scorpio · « **Reply #210 on:** July 28, 2015, 10:42:31 PM »

Anyone think there will be support for clusterbots? I think that would be a cool feature to add into the game (though I'm doubting if they'll be effective...).

Tygron · « **Reply #211 on:** July 28, 2015, 10:56:26 PM »

Eh we technically already have support for that. Just go to free for all and add your other bot to another slot. Not perfect, but it works.

I got a T and Y in my name.

so
its october now

remind me again did anyone actually see any evidence for active development of this? I know craaig always kept saying "this is real" but never actually showed anyone proof or anything.
I'm thinking if battlebots s2 doesn't get greenlit very soon this thing has an extremely high chance of becoming dead in the water if it isn't already. It could very well have been real and still have been/be cancelled

kaiser · « **Reply #215 on:** October 12, 2015, 10:31:08 AM »

I'm confident that they're actually working on something. I'm just a little worried that it won't live up to expectations

MikeNCR emailed the guy who runs Gabriel and confirmed it was a thing.

That's how feel best thing to do is to lower said expectations and be nicely surpised if it's good.

I'm not doubting that but this thing could EASILY have been swept under the rug and nobody would ever know.

That's my life philosophy: Screw hope, this is the real world.
