Did some more AI testing:

I've kinda' come to the conclusion that the AI system for the bots is in the game's .exe itself, which would explain why there are no files that even hint at a possible AI script anywhere in the game.
Unlike RA2, of course.

So while you can easily swap the AIs in this game for your own robots, your just going to end up with defective ones.
Also, while I'm at it, this also goes for trying to add bots, rather then simply swapping them: You can't, as that too is part of the same .exe file.
And re-saving it after one edits said .exe file, as I tried too earlier in this thread, results in the game not recognizing it's own files. Odd.

Anyway, I'm thinking I might do either a Mario or SanicSonic-based bot next, with a matching skin.

EDIT: Nice to know that two arenas use the same floor.

Felt like being random, and made a bot with Clouds for a chassis, in a manner similar to that of Paper Mario:

Got around to making a skin for that Lightweight chassis:

Air Rams look so cool, but are so weak :<

Radio Jammers
Switchblades
Hammers
Badge Plates

The game's part-list is hardly that balanced.

Check it out... I was going to dig even deeper, but life got in the way. Hopefully someone cares.

My copy of RA1, disk wise, is the original Version 1.0
The RA1 site lets you upgrade to 1.3, which is what lets you skin everything more freely.

Speaking of skinning...
Since RA1 crashes when you go to skin the sawblade rack, that might explain why Gamaraze II lacks the same custom skin that the original Gamaraze had.

Half of my battles ended up with me stuck to the other robot for 5 minutes straight.

I'm thinking I should do more Transformer-based skins for this game.
Also, I find it odd how this game has .tga files with Alpha Layers, and scrips that say they should read alpha layers, yet, the game doesn't acknowledge the fact they exist, and just considers it a .bmp file.
Odd.
