Title: Battery Stacking Help
Post by: WhamettNuht on August 12, 2009, 03:05:35 PM

Hey
Im trying to update one of my pop-ups, but since im short for space, i need to do battery stacking, but i cant due to my mouse(s)
Mine dont have a scroll wheel (My home computer or my laptop) so i cant zoom in, so i was wondering if there was an easier way of doing battery stacking.
I've tried editing the bot file in notepad ++, copying and pasting the new component in, but when i open the game up the bto crashes, so i was wondering if i was doing it right and if there was an easier way of battery stacking.
Thanks
Wham

You don't need a mouse wheel to zoom. I use the Page Up button of my keyboard to zoom. As far as your botfile editing, I can give you no help...

I know about bot file editing.

Rule #1:
NEVER copy paste inside the botfile, it is a quaranteed crash.

If you really want to place the 2 batteries in the same place trough botfile editing:
1. Place anoter part, doesnt matter what part it is or where you attact it
2. Change all lines for that part to match your batterys lines, by typing them by hand
3. You are done

Note, if you used Smartzone or Burstmotor as the part you wanna change, jsut remove the line under the line wich has the .txt stuff on it.

Those are 2 good ways.
Another way: If you want to use BFE,
(1) just put your regular batt where it should be in the bot, and then
(2) add an ant battery anywhere else it will fit.
(3) Then open the bot file to the ant batt, and change both the file address and the XYZ coordinates to match the first desired batt.
 
Save and open up with stacked batts.

Well, it's not that shocking at all. Sweet Poppin' Corns had more hardcore AAMs. :P
