Title: Shark Tooth
Post by: G.K. on December 23, 2009, 03:47:16 PM
I put some 4kg shark teeth on my robot, but they took it over the weight limit. I can't take them off. Whenever I click on them, nothing happens. The other components are just fine. I also tried removing the following from the .bot file:

Code: [Select]
23
2
1
0 0 0
0 0 0 1
4.71239 0
Weapon
Components\lt_tooth.txt
22
2
1
0 0 0
0 -1.42109e-014 0 1
1.5708 0
Weapon
Components\lt_tooth.txt

However, this just crashes the game when I try to load it.

Help would be appreciated.

I heard of this problem before, I think it is because of the collision mesh or something.

I presume that I have to change something else in the .bot file as well as removing the code. Anyone?

You got to click the very place that the part and the tooth meet.

Clicking on those teeth is a nightmare! But it is possible in the botlab to remove them.

If you get desperate and just can't do it, you can do a little gmf-swapping to get them off.

also very importantly... you tried BFE in Notepad++ right ?, doing it in regular notepad will crash the bot file regardless of what you do


but yeah GMF swapping is a really easy to do solution

Did you remember to reduce "TOTAL COMPONENTS" by 2?  Because I am 99% sure that is the reason why your game crashed.

Yeah, I was doing it in ++. It'll be the total components line. Unfortunately I don't know where it is.

I went back into the bot file to try STC's suggestion, and it worked straight away. However, the bot file is still bugging me. I couldn't find a Total components line, and I was using ++. I got a lot of this:

Is this normal for the bot file, or do I need to change something in the configurations/options/settings?

Every bot file has a load of that stuff, sometimes its position and lenght varies.

That was in notepad ++

I know sorry my post wasnt clear, that is just the preview image in character form

what I mean is stick with Notepad++ regardless of this mess of symbols ;)

So where is "TOTAL COMPONENTS" ? There's no line saying it, and I find no "26" either, which is the number of components in the bot.

this happend to me twice in stock while i was using a crappy pc you just delete the bot and make another

shark teeth are crap though

Well, keep in mind that "chassis" is also a component, and component count starts at 0.  My guess you will have more success if you search 27.

Another thing is that it should be at the end of the preview image.  So look for the last line of those rubbish and keep scrolling to the right until you find the number.
