Trying to get back into building/RA2 in general.

I like it, it's simple but effective. I like the back as well, is it bfe'd?

cephalopod · « **Reply #802 on:** October 24, 2014, 09:11:35 AM »

Yeah, I halved the height on the back points.

Another BFE'd to hell bot. But for good reason. This is essentially a replica of my irl BW, Mr Snappy. Can't get the lifter on right but this'll do.

noice bots you have

RedAce · « **Reply #804 on:** October 24, 2014, 09:52:27 AM »

Not bad at all. It could fit in the Replica thread.

needs more spikes. The BFE is totally cool though.

is the way you got the back of that into a v shape a bfe technique? how did you do that? it's awesome

I freaking love these 2 :O

is the second one on the exchange?

cephalopod · « **Reply #808 on:** October 25, 2014, 04:59:48 AM »

Thanks for the compliments all :)
Thy, I'll put Snappy on the exchange when I'm fully happy with it - the lifter not working as the real one does bugs me slightly. I might also rebuild so that I BFE the sides in rather than the front back to stop the eyes being pixellated.
And yeah toAst, it's a BFE thing. Essentially what I did was add 2 extra points on the baseplate, then on the top plate moved them both back 1 so that there was still a set over the bottom back points but the other points overhung the back (giving the bot a parallelogram shape) and then you have to find those overhanging back 2 points in the bot file and reduce their height by half. Click wrote a good tutorial for BFEing chassis height, except his tutorial moves all the points were you'd only want to change 2 in this situation - https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=9216.0

Thyrus · « **Reply #809 on:** October 25, 2014, 05:55:38 AM »

is there a way to get the chassis of the second one though? :3

cephalopod · « **Reply #810 on:** October 25, 2014, 06:05:08 AM »

I don't imagine it'll be of much use for general stuff, there's 2 massive wheel holes in the back :P

Anyway, I fixed it and made it look nicer imo

does it actually lift things?

cephalopod · « **Reply #812 on:** October 25, 2014, 09:12:48 AM »

Nope, it's on a BSG. :P

Anybody ever have those moments where they don't know why something happened?

What even is this. Attack of the slugs?

FOTEPX · « **Reply #814 on:** November 05, 2014, 12:36:56 PM »

Reminds me of a bot from, like, Series 1 or 2 of RW.

That must have been what he was going for.

cephalopod · « **Reply #819 on:** November 06, 2014, 11:13:06 AM »

Nah I was actually just playing around with BFE and realised I made a chassis that looked like Buzz from RW:AoD, decided to take it a step further with some kind of back arm (replacing a chainsaw from AoD)
