Hi all ^_^
Hope no-ones forgotten about me lol :P
Sorry i havent really been posting much on here lately.
Just sorta left the forum for a while (found things where starting to become WAY too spammy and political!)
But, after having a dig around my comp, i found an old pack I was working on, and so I thought before I do leave for good, id finish this one off ^_^
I will of course be needing some help from some peeps, but tbh the easy stuff i can take care of :P
So, heres what the plan is:
RA2 - Valo Version
For the finish among all of you, you will of course know Valo means 'Light'.
So, basically (i appologise if this has been done already in my absence :S) my idea is for a pack that is speciafically designed for the lighter weights.
Yes, I know Joe was planning something similar, but I decided if no-ones going to do it - i might aswell!
The 3 weights im mainly focusing on are-
Ants
Beetles
and Hobbyweights/Feathers.
Heres what I have so far:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49001Valo Prevs1.png)
Components:
For the component side of things, i would like to achieve 3 things:
1 - To be able to combine both stock and some DSL parts together
2 - To make some stock and dsl parts smaller and lighter to suit the lighter weights
3 - To make some custom parts for the lighter weights
I have used some of my parts from the old RR AI pack for this one.
Some parts still need some work (Mainly the Lego Wheel).
I also forgot a component from that list - I made a micro Z-Tek motor.
The S-Tek Brushless motor :P (Can be seen on BEAR later on!)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95306Valo Prevs2.png)
AI Bots:
So, as you can hopefully see, I have done 4 AI teams so far.
Theres a few others but they are currently being skinned (or was being :P)
You can see the 3 different weights.
The AI teams will be realistic versions of the old stock bots.
Im hoping to make bots that will be fun to watch (like the real bots!) and that are also at the same time destructive (for some bots, anyway, the new BEAR certainly is desructive!)
I'll be working on all the stock-reworks.
Im also hoping to get some of you guys involved, with a few extra teams.
I'll let you guys loose when all the components are finished :P
What I will need major help with:
Theres a few other things id like to accomplish with the pack.
This time, i dont want it to be an add on, i want it to be a complete mod (Like backlash).
So, one of the things im hoping to achieve is to change the weights around a bit.
So, rather than the old LW, MW & HW cats, i will hopefully be changing it too:
Antweight - 125g (Think thats right? :S)
Beetle Weight - 175g
Hobby/Featherweight - 200g
So im hoping to basically chance the max weight allowed, the names of the weights and the max weight catergorys.
Hopefully someone can help me with this?
Another thing I may need help on is some of the scripts of the game.
For example, i'd like to have the Height Adjuster reach lower heights without BFE, maybe a bit more of a zoom in BotLab, and to introduce some new armour (Acetate, Cardboard, Paper, ect.)
And of course, one of the biggest things i'll need help with is the arenas.
I admit, I am completely useless at arenas!
If anyone is good at them and wouldnt mind helping, it would be highly appreciated! :)
Anyway, thats whats going on.
Im hoping to at least finish just 1 thing on this game before i do leave lol :P
All opinions, comments, and offered help is much appreciated :)
Thanks

Looks cool, are there any havok issues with the small components?
-
None so far.
The only issue with components being too small i think is the lego wheel (Just drives weird :S)
-
That was the reason I scrapped my lightweight pack.. all the micro robots havoked to death..
But if you have yours working then awesome..
-
Yeah, from looking at people's mods, wheels look the most difficult components.
-
They are a pain in the backside...
Infact.. im not even sure how I pulled off the CC Prize wheel :P resizing and skinning was one thing but that was a new GMF :S
You have to use Serges compiler though..
-
Looks awesome Wham :D
-
Damn. Looks SO good. :approve:
-
Thanks all :)
@Joe - I think i used serges compiler :S
All my bots (so far) dont seem to havok much.
Quick question joe - do you have any AW suitable arenas?
I could do with some more places to test out the ais lol :P :/
@Jonzu - My finnish friend, Valo is correct for light isnt it? :S Lol I love the finnish language XD
-
This is like the Mod version of Ian's AW pack.
-
The only AW sized arena's I have are my Mayhem Match area's for Backlash as they are built for sumo type matches.
But sorry to say I want to keep them "Backlash exclusive" to give people a reason to try/play Backlash
-
I SMELL COLLABORATION!
-
@Pwn - Lol, maybe, who knows? ;)
Would be great to do a collab though lol :P
@Joe - No problem, just a quick question :)
Say, if you wanna collab sometime, im useless at UI ;) lol
With the AI, im also hoping to introduce some replicas of real AWs, BWs & FW/HoWs.
So, look out for a few of them aswell ;)
Another thing i may need some help with is putting all the existing stock parts (or some of them) as cheatbot2 parts.
That way it restricts building to only light-weight parts.
-
@Jonzu - My finnish friend, Valo is correct for light isnt it? :S Lol I love the finnish language XD
Yep, Valo means Light, That's correct. ;)
-
Woop woop :D lol
-
If this gets made i WILL challenge someone to a valo challenge.
-
decompile the .CFZ and select what parts you want hidden via text file editing
-
PMed you Wham.
-
@TX - Replied :)
@Joe - Tried it before but failed. What programme do I use again? :S (Cant I also use this for the armour? /:| )
-
use Lu-Tze's CFZ Compiler
https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Tools/CFZ_Compiler.exe (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Tools/CFZ_Compiler.exe)
-
It wont install.
Says its missing the file Lu-Tze Compiler2, but whenever i try to export the part from winrar, it wont extract :/
-
With the AI, im also hoping to introduce some replicas of real AWs, BWs & FW/HoWs.
Ooh, I have 3 FWs and 1 AW that could be replicated :P
And if you want any hep with making bots, just let me know ;)
-
Cool. Thanks for sharing this with us Wham :D
-
Looks awesome :claping
What i find funny is the lego wheel is nearly twice as heavy as the sledge :gawe:
-
Here try this.. its a ready to run CFZ compiler.. no need to install
Just extract and run Lu-Tze_Compiler2.exe (the one with the RA2 icon) and all should be fine..

-
Looks really great, Wham, I can't wait to try the stuff out. Can the mini baseplate anchors be placed upside down?
-
@Joe - Still wont work =_= Doesnt open the programme.
@Sonny - Not yet ;) lol
-

But its heavier then Shiny-Hubs? O,o
-
@Joe - Still wont work =_= Doesnt open the programme.
Cant do much else for you then.. I'd say the problem lies with your computer/ setup.. as I tested that .rar first and I haven't installed the program either..
