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:
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!)
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
