beating El Diablo isn't that impressive...

I was going to say the same thing. ED is 500 kg and has Stock drive and batteries.

4WD ant = weight wasted. You're most of the time better with powerful 2WDs than average 4WDs (example: NPC fasts with Techno Destructo wheels is lighter, more powerful and less draining than 4WD Magmotor drive with Hypno wheels). So I'd recommend Astroflights with hypno wheels. And yeah you can make it invertible.

Coming of Exile and Call of Exile both look nice.

It was just a prof on concept. It was not to make it look impressive.

More of my bots.
R.E.D.

Four MAG Snappers, Four NPC Fasts, 3mmtite, one orange and two battlepacks
B.L.U.

Meh.

Weight?
Armor?
Insides?

Naryar · « **Reply #124 on:** March 21, 2009, 05:23:56 PM »

Red's side armor is worthless if you have nearly no armor at the front, plus my experience is that these 30kg ramplates suck.

Blue looks decent though. Insides?

Somebody · « **Reply #125 on:** March 21, 2009, 05:35:28 PM »

Blu could benefit from Whyachi tribars, and try to get rid of those plastic extenders. Huge weak link.

Not quite true. Inward spinning HS and Side hammers?

Yes, YOUR experiance. If it doen't work one way, try another. Battle axes are used as armour, Blades are used to protect extenders....

Code: [Select]

name = Ram Plate
preview = ramplate_preview.bmp
dir = ram_plate
model = armor1.gmf
type = extras
base = Component
styles = Default
description = Generic metal plate, useful for a ram, shield, or other device.  Hitpoints are 12000.
styles = Ramplate, ramplate2.txt, Extra Wide
damagesounds = sounds\ramplate_hit.wav
hitpoints = 2400
fracture = 40
material = metal(.4)
attachsound = sounds\cmp_generic.wav
standard = 1
mass = 30

And now, get out.

Somebody · « **Reply #128 on:** March 21, 2009, 07:16:30 PM »

Fracture of 40!! No wonder those suck so much. Why in the world does it have 2400 HP when it should have 12000 like it says?

Naryar · « **Reply #129 on:** March 21, 2009, 07:21:41 PM »

Well that is the .txt, and 40 looks unrealistic.

My battle experience is that these ramplates have less than 6000 HP's, and a fracture inferior to 400.

Sage · « **Reply #130 on:** March 21, 2009, 07:31:03 PM »

say, aint that the normal ramplate?

R1885 · « **Reply #131 on:** March 21, 2009, 08:18:48 PM »

I was about to say the same thing.
Besides, the front has to be open like that to be realistic, not that pop-ups are.
B.L.U. needs the plastic extenders, the hammers pass throgh the snow-plows to much to be real. I need the clasic Tri-bars too, all others are too big, or too small.

Naryar · « **Reply #132 on:** March 22, 2009, 02:04:54 AM »

This one is 30kg, plus the description is the long ramplate one.

System32 · « **Reply #133 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:58:55 AM »

Isn't that the small one?

Naryar · « **Reply #134 on:** March 22, 2009, 09:46:36 AM »

Because the small/normal/black ramplate weighs 30kg maybe...

System32 · « **Reply #135 on:** March 22, 2009, 10:27:45 AM »

No, I mean When you tyhink about how they drop down, Don't they have to have tha same stats? Perhaps Darkrat Or Lu-Tze forgot...

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #136 on:** March 22, 2009, 11:30:03 PM »

I always wondered why the long ramplates seemed to break so easily. Now I know.

That is the 30kg ram plate that Naryar posted, and it does have 2400 HP when it should have 12000.

Expect this to be fixed in DSL3. Along with the 35-kg snow plows which have some ridiculous fracture that's impossible to break.

Doing some testing lately for BBEANS6 bots, but I found one that its final will be in:

I found that Roin discs work great, so expect to see some thing like this.
Its still in beta stage, the weapon motor needs to be protected more, and it needs a re-worked body.

Urjak · « **Reply #138 on:** April 01, 2009, 07:46:54 PM »

Looks nice, though I think a wedge would help it a lot.

Naryar · « **Reply #139 on:** April 02, 2009, 05:29:48 AM »

Although it looks nice, i can see that getting destroyed by the first HS you'll meet.

What's the drive?
