Title: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: Sircreepalot2 on October 03, 2015, 05:16:37 PM
HELLO MY NAME IS SIRCREEPALOT AND THIS IS MY ROBOT IT HAS S10 AND IS 394.9

anyways i haven't seen any of these kinds of spinners in IF yet (correct me of i'm wrong) so i made one that reks.
I tried to use the wheels as like blockers to keep the motors protected and the plows on the other side, plus all the armor on the tiny chassis.

Ive tried to test it but IF keeps crashing on m whenever I fight something, but it seems to work really well. It hasn't died yet, and i think its the best i can do so far.

I also don't know if i should make the tribars smaller and make the weapons bigger or vice versa and put ore smaller weapons on.

I cant find where to switch the weight class in the bot file si if someone could point me to it that'd be great

plz dont eviscerate me ty goodbye.

It's... unique. I'd worry about fragile those supports for the tracks are though. Could get rid of that plow on the bottom and give yourself a weaker armour so you can protect them more. Also the tribars going through the extenders breaks standard realism but I'm not sure how you could prevent that given the design.

Isn't using treads as shields a little dangerous? I mean, surely, if you fight this in a real battle, the wheels are ridiculously exposed, so they will fall off incredibly easily, losing all of your mobility.

he's got 4 treads with a sh** ton of hp, so yeah he's more likely to lose the extenders holding everything else than the treads.

also that bot isn't DSL-S so it's not going to be allowed in any tournies

ive been wondering, what is considered high hitpoints for this mod?
Title: Re: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: 090901 on October 03, 2015, 07:13:31 PM
things with higher hitpoints than others, it tells you all the hitpoints in the description of the parts.
Title: Re: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 03, 2015, 09:23:31 PM
be aware its not legal since the tribar disects the supports for the drive
it's not a bad build, I may worry about it being a bit too narrow for some opponents though

If i try to make it any wider i'll hit the max sphere. is there some weird RA2 sorcery bug that i can get around or no.

I'm not exactly a RA2 sorcerer or wizard or whatever the **** ya wanna call me, (feel free to quote me on that) but I don't think there's a bug that'll allow you to go outside the max. Even if there was, that'll cause extreme lag when testing, so do it at your own risk.

SHW, no ballast, Ti5
the whole box of batteries with some spinners attached works well so eh im stickin to it. 
The range on the weapons are decent, and they hit things. Cool.

im not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish... is it a bottom spinner ? you can make that setup more cleanly.
Title: Re: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: Reier on January 02, 2016, 04:20:34 PM
is uh... it a joke bot? if it's not I'm sure there are more efficient spinner setups.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80742screenshot_2.png)
it got ti5 and it has a stabilizer in the back made of DSL bars and its pretty fast.
The beta motors surprisingly don't get torn off as much as it might seem.

WHAAAAAAANOTHER ONE
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81785screenshot_4.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36873screenshot_5.png)
Ti3 and it gets ~5000 hits constantly. It's generic but it's good.

someone hit me up with that wall of Ironforge know how ya dig
Title: Re: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: Naryar on January 05, 2016, 05:26:58 AM
You need more stabilizers on your mome rath vs, if it likes to tip over. although that just may be the general power of ironforge motors.

the hammer with a secondary wedge is interesting... i must say i've never seen a hammer with that design.
Title: Re: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: Reier on January 20, 2016, 05:27:11 PM
hammer is cool bud. i might replace the hammers with a rack of high damaging weapons, it will kill things way faster. whats the drive?
on the shell avoid using iron spikes since they have normals on the tip only, same goes for the VS. and it might be a bit better if you use uniform blade types on the shell so they all hit at the same time

yo its a bot for conraas tournament that i forgot to post.  the only reason i actually entered was IF unrealistic so yeah.

i dont remember what armor it has, prob plastic 3 or DSA lol

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54333screenshot_3.png)

also it spawns with its treads in the ground so yeah.  im gonna make this design work i swear.
Title: Re: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 28, 2016, 01:42:52 AM
not wide enough of a wheelbase to work. it's not going to trap anyone and just be reversed/lose it's treads.

seriously those treads are so exposed. as i said, make the wheel base much wider.
Title: Re: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: Reier on November 28, 2016, 01:58:54 AM
my man creeps back



yeah it needs to be way wider also that sucker is gonna bounce like mad with treads especially if its a tribar VS

Echoing what Reier said. Also, why are the wheels so teeny tiny? Is it even invertible?
Title: Re: Sircreepalot's Groan-Inducing Showcase
Post by: Sircreepalot2 on December 20, 2017, 09:29:05 AM
look, okay, i havent built a robot in an actual year.  i cant get past rule ofseven on this, does the other exe have a port to IF or not?

Component Freedom works on all mods so just copy it into your Ironforge folder.
