JNN's Reskins and Bots
« on: July 16, 2018, 12:27:39 AM »
Hey all, ive been a lurker on here for a while, but im not sure if this counts as a bot to showcase, so please correct me if broke a rule somewhere.

So this is my first reskin and its one of my favourite robots, Apollo. Cant have a Robot Wars game without the series 8 champ right? Basically, its a reskin of Kronic (since theyre essentially the same bot) from the bot leaks in the DL section, made to look worn and in line with the other bots from the RWRA2+ mod. There have been very minor changes made to his internals, but the bulk of the bot is unchanged from the original.

Took a fair while in photoshop but im very pleased with the results overall. It was quite a bit of trial and error on my end since it was a first attempt.

Thanks, the Carbide was from the bot leaks pack in the downloads section.

That is correct. This Apollo was specifically made with the intention of looking like a part of the pack as well as playing well alongside the other bots from Ra2RW. I know thats not what the creators wanted people to do, but Apollo is a favourite for me and my dad so i definitely wanted to have it in the game somehow.

Due to this being Ra2RW and not DSL. Gonna move this over to "Custom Showcase".

Forgot to mention in the previous post, I agree this is some wonderful skinning work. Keep it up

They are in the bot leaks pack or something like that in the downloads section. Its for use with RaRW2 so just copy the files over to the game and you should be good. Im not sure the story behind it but those and a few others werent released together with the regular pack, possibly due to rights issues? Its a shame really, i think there are probably a few more bots out there like Pulsar and Ironside that never got released and probably never will

Im aware the tires arent quite accurate, the dimensions are  little off and i skipped over the gap behind the wedge but this is the best i could do in the botlab, oh well.

Awesome. And the fact that you build that with RWRA2.

Also, just wondering. Are you interested to start doing original bots with DSL?

Photoshop, photoshop, photoshop.
but seriously, just practice, ive had experience skinning parts in older games so this isnt the newest territory for me. It also helps trying to visualise what parts go where and how it will look when put together.

Thank you, but im not that interested in that area at the moment. Maybe in the future though, but for now I really enjoy the arcade battling feel of the RW mod and all my bots are just attempts to round out the roster on there with some of my favourites that were missing.

Made a few more changes to Original Sin. Resized side stickers and changed the wheels and wedge Looks a little more accurate now.

I would, but theres a few problems with that. I modified a few components in the game when building OS and any game that downloads it would have to use those components too. It could mess up your pre-existing bots. Additionally, there isnt a section in the bot exchange for bots made in the RW mod.
