I made a new bot but I need skinning help. I found out that when it's 128x128 it's really not high resalution can I use any other dimensions without crashing the game?

you can use powers of two for you skin so theoretically you could do an 2X2 or a 4X4 but that would be useless. I know NFX has gone up to a 512x512 before but that makes the bot file big and laggyier.

Ok thanks.

It doesn't really make it lag. I use 1024x1024 and it works like a charm on my Gateway Laptop.

Don't even mention 2048x2048...

Feedback will be appreciated.

The support structure for the motor seems a bit off, try angling some extenders to make it look cooler. And wheelguards would also look good.

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #108 on:** December 07, 2011, 11:00:12 PM »

Anything else?

smashysmashy · « **Reply #109 on:** December 08, 2011, 01:26:25 AM »

Wheelguards.
Oh and Tazbot's grip are a bit rubbish. Might want to look into getting some better wheels.

extender work = fail

On the back or front?

smashysmashy · « **Reply #112 on:** December 08, 2011, 10:00:28 AM »

Both, in my view.

Naryar · « **Reply #113 on:** December 08, 2011, 12:31:42 PM »

Yes both. It's just very fragile, mostly useless, and if you fight against an undercutter you'll lose your whole weapon quickly.

I think a bar system for the back would be generic, but the best design for this bot.

Oh and I HATE THOSE WHEELS, I SHALL ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THEM.

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #115 on:** December 08, 2011, 01:25:06 PM »

better?

Naryar · « **Reply #116 on:** December 08, 2011, 01:43:54 PM »

Yes, much better. Now change these two flippermakers holding the bar to one small DSL bar.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #117 on:** December 08, 2011, 01:53:12 PM »

That motor, with just 1 tiny support?

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #118 on:** December 08, 2011, 03:26:03 PM »

changed it to a DSL bar but I don't want to post another picture because there is no need. is that it?

smashysmashy · « **Reply #119 on:** December 08, 2011, 03:45:22 PM »

Don't want to post the insides?
