For the HS, maybe move the spikes to the ends of the bars?

The typhoon spikes have normals. Probably not a good idea.

Um they don't have normals.

Code: [Select]

name = Typhoon spike
preview = typhoon_preview.bmp
dir = typhoon
model = typhoonspike.gmf
type = weapons
base = Weapon
styles = Default
sort = 596
passthru = collision
hitpoints = 1000
concussion = .2
fracture = 1
piercing = 1.2
damagesounds = sounds\steel_collision2.wav
attachsound = sounds\cmp_generic.wav
mass = 4
standard = 1
description = This is the lightest, smallest spike available.  It has 1000 HP and 240 DP - concussion is 0.2 and piercing 1.2. Another sign of win with 1 fracture. 250 toughness as well.

Good advice Gauche. :D

inb4 I get repped down for bad advice

Also even if they had normals it would be better to put them on the ends :P

ok now you REALLY sound like gauche

and crawlers with controlled movement = but i can only wonder how often that alu (i think) sheet comes off and it becomes a bumbleball

is that team for nar ai or did you just feel like making a team ?

I just made a team to get back into RA2, but I'd consider putting it in NAR AI

Some cool stuff here. The extenders are kinda sloppy but still good.

I don't understand how you want me to fix these extenders? How are they 'sloppy'?

[MassimoV]

I meant on the HS but then I just realized it was a cropping issue. They all look fine.

Okay, goodies;]

just re-downloaded DSL, watch this space! 

[TeamXtreemer]

tp lol

any ideas how to improve this? standard bw vs, nothing special i suppose.

Looks ok. Still don't like your unclear splashes, though;

you mean they're unreadable? or?

[Naryar]

Bot's a bit hard to figure out due to the multicolored background, and still this thing of making the 4/5ths of the splash holding the bot's description instead of the bot.

Besides, we can see it has astros. and I don't see the point of saying what CB it has.

It's nothing really important, but it is still odd to first be aware of the bot's description instead of the bot itself in a splash.

Edit: see, Craaig summed it more simply than me.

It'd be cool if the bot was the main focus rather than some big text, I had to look pretty hard to make it all out.

cb=weight, and because i took an outside picture, i could imagine someone posting a query as to what cb it had, but i can see why the text size is annoying
+i don't see the text positioning to be that important, i'll change it next time i create a bot, though

i'll make the background less 'artistic' next time

[TeamXtreemer]

changed the layout, looks better to me, any ideas?

[Naryar]

Weapon is meh, you can do better with a single 80 DSL bar and heavier weapons.

also what is up with that angle, it looks like you don't want to show us your extender work

[TeamXtreemer]

i've only just realized that i don't, haha, i was working on a different idea.
i just wanted the weapon to be visible. all the extender work is a titanium halfsheet connected to a poly 20cm at the back, which is where the drive motors are.
the front is a poly 20cm connected to the weapon motor, simple!:P
