Interesting.  I would love to see some more RA1 components in this ASTC mod thing (give an actual name for this mod pls), but I understand why you don't want to do it yet.  Oh and this part is slightly off topic, but which one was the Digital Insignia again?

And Yeezus.  That wall of pain spikes.

Digital Insignia wasn't in RA1. It doesn't have any kind of preview image or .gmf associated with it, the only way it's in the game is it's description in one of the text files.

Haven't updated in about a week, but I usually don't when I have homework to attend to.

Anyway, I think I've come up with a title for this thing. How's Revelation sound?


Also made the replacement for the iron spike.



It's essentially two different components under one category. The smaller ones are best used like how you'd regularly use an iron spike, and fit really easily onto extenders (I currently have one set of extenders done, the other 3 are reskins of the first set). They're really spammable, ranging from 10 to 30 kg. 
The larger iron spikes are useful for IRL, they're 3 times as heavy as a regular iron spike. Just throw the largest 90kg spike on the end of your robot and you have a solid weapon for a IRL MW robot.
I know there's large spikes in DSL. But all of them have normals, and single-point normals =  :rage . Most components in Revelation will not have normals (the iron spike doesn't), but some will.

You can also attach things on all 4 sides, weather it be other spikes, or supports for IRL robots:

I plan on putting a few extra APs on certain weapons to make IRL building slightly easier to build.
(it's not shown in the picture, but you can also attach iron spikes, along with pretty much every other weapon, directly to motors like in DSL or ironforge)

I probably won't make update posts for this when I make a mild variation of an already existing Revelation component or things that you'd expect from an RA2 mod, like the pole spike (which is basically the iron spike, but with normals + boosted damage like I mentioned, I bet some masochist out there is a fan of normals) or heavy piston (regular burst piston I showed earlier, but 2x weight and performance, mainly for HWs/SHWs).

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

In my opinion, I think it should be "RA2: Past Truths" because my naming of things is really :rage

Since it's based off stock components, give it a name that descends from stock.

like RA2 : Stock Evolved ? RA2SE ?

Maybe split this thread into a modifications and designs thread as well ? This is no longer a custom component robot showcase.

What about RA2 Omega ? Revelation sounds pretentious imho

that sounds about as pretentious as revelation because omega is symbolism for "the end"

why give names if your naming of things is like that then ?

I agree that Revelation is a little bit pretentious and not-RA2, but something like "Omega" is as generic as it gets. I'll probably go with what Naryar/GS said and come up with something stock-related. Fun fact: I wanted to call it "Restocked" but that name's already taken.

akshually
Now that wheels are a-go, here's the first showcased robot made in (whatever name I decide to give this thing).

 :dance:

When I start making the AI, this robot will likely be a placeholder for robots not yet made, hence the name.
But yeah, if you could split all the mod stuff into a new thread that'd be great. I'll probably show off AI bots I make here or something, idk.

RA2: THE MUSICAL 2

I almost managed to forget about that. Almost.

Can't have a mod without weapon motors.



Right now it only has the default z-tek skin, but I'm probably going to give it HOT ROD FLAMEZ!!1!11 or something.

Weapon Z-teks (probably going to be renamed to avoid confusion with regular z-teks) come in 5 sizes and weigh anywhere from 25 to 105 kg. They're pretty long, and as such are recommended for use on VS or FS instead of HS. Unlike other weapon motors, the weapon z-tek can pass through the chassis. Can't be attached to the baseplate though, because that would be caster armor. Think ironforge piston.



This trait will be exclusive to the z-tek, the other weapon motors will act like weapon motors usually do.
The end result of the stuff in the spoiler box is basically that weapon motors are noobproof and have slightly nerfed maximum speed, while having quicker acceleration. This also means less chance of robots going full ADHD-spikeball mode.

Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.

Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.

You could make it attach to the baseplate and then, as the creator, emit a ban on caster armor ?
