Excellent- thank you, I'll be sure to do the best job I can with them.

If I'm lucky, perhaps it'll get my name in the credits as well- now that'd be a nice bonus.

One of the main points brought up at the start of it was that there weren't going to be many new replicas, if any at all- on the Replica side of things, it's more dedicated to fixing and refining the existing ones to improve them massively in both looks and fighting capabilities, and allocating them to their IRL weight classes. Even still, five of the six RW Champions are already there, and you've got Pussycat, HypnoDisc, Storm II, Firestorm and the like, which account for a good percentage of the ones you mentioned.

I was however, able to produce that comparison of the two Chaos 2s you wanted-

The old one looked decent enough on the outside, but the skin was a bit wrong on the flipper, and it was too thin. It was worse in how it functioned, though- it was extremely light for a Heavyweight, used RADs for slow and wobbly steering that caused it to handle like a shopping cart.
Worst of all, the flipper was powered by a Lifter Motor and had the attachment point on the back, causing it to appear like it was going into the chassis each time it fired. I suppose it was OK for its time, but it was definitely one of the replicas in most dire need of improvement, IMHO.

The new one however, appears to improve on the original in every way, and appears to be able to actually fight effectively in the Heavyweight Class. New drive makes it faster, smoother and easier to control, and its flipper now has a more powerful burst motor-as well as having the attachment point moved to its proper place so that it fires correctly.
At the same time, it's been improved on the outside- it's better-proportioned, being wider and slightly flatter than it was, and with new textures to give it a much cleaner look.

Looks very nice, GF! I'm suprised you can pull stuff like that off... Where the

did you learn them skills?

Also, does the speed of the robot match the "20MPH top speeds" of the original Chaos 2?

Also, LDogMasher... Uuhm...

As flattered as I am, I'm afraid I didn't make it- Wham did, so credit goes to him, there. I am helping him skin it though along with the new Firestorm, and I've provided my Panic Attack replica for DSL3. Also, hey- haven't heard from you in a while.

And it will do- the wider chassis easily accomodates more powerful motors.

Well, my hat goes off to Wham. These replicas are freaking incredble, and his polygons and your skins are like salt and... uuhm... more... saal-

The reason why you haven't heard from me in a while is because I've been a way for a while now. But, I'm back now, and hopefully, for a good year or so. Here's hoping, at least.

Indeed- I've been very impressed with them so far, and hopefully with a bit of my painting wizardry, it should all come together nicely to produce some truly fantastic machines for DSL3. Almost like the Fish to Wham's Chips and Newspaper, you could say. :P

But yeah, that's understandable. I've been away for a while myself due to College and ARC taking priority and generally not feeling much motivation anymore, only having the occasional look-in. Now that Noodle's been eliminated and jobs are open for DSL3 however, I feel good about coming back and lending a hand where I can.

Indeed, it's going to be a blast once they're all ready. For now though, watch this space- once I've finished sorting Chaos 2 and Firestorm out, I'll show the finished versions here.

Will the sides of the new Chaos 2 fall off like they're made of cardboard this time around?

Nope, they shouldn't do this time.

They always have been- Click did say any and all help with DSL3 is appreciated. That, and with Wham working on the RW Replicas, that's given me something to work on. Suits me down to the ground.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #135 on:** April 11, 2013, 04:32:31 AM »

Would just like to quickly clarrify some of the details for certain :P

Chaos 2 is now -
Faster (NPC speed drive)
Stronger flipper (I can easily place an 800kg robot on the flipper, charge forwards with it and launch it out of the arena)
Correctly proportioned :P

Ducky · « **Reply #136 on:** April 11, 2013, 05:00:37 AM »

Wow well done guys this is all looking amazing! Glad the RW:ED textures have come of use! Shall be great to use in DSL 3! How's Hypno-disc looking nowadays? Never seemed to look quite right in my opinion, either the body being too chunky/large/small in comparison to the disk etc.

As mentioned in a different thread the full soundtrack from the game can be extracted too (includes songs not used in the game) Also I have some fairly decent "3, 2, 1", "standby", "cease", plus the sfx and pit siren sound effect I found online. so it would be good to make use of these somewhere too, as I have done with my DSL 2 game here.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #137 on:** April 11, 2013, 05:12:59 AM »

I did post a pic of Hypno-Disc earlier in the thread :P And if you could, would you mind sending me some of those? I might need them for a different/parallell project... :P

Ducky · « **Reply #138 on:** April 11, 2013, 05:58:21 AM »

Oh sorry yeah just had a look

And ahh yes I'll get to work on that, although would they be of use to everyone on here as a new thread like I did for the texture pack do ya think?

Excellent, that's good to confirm- so anyway, do you think you can send me the aforementioned two fairly soon? As soon as I've recieved them, I can begin working on them.
