Reverse-engineering the RA2 executable.

TELL. CLICK. NOW.

[somestrangeguy]

Oh I get it! Jonzu is making another premature april fools attempt since the last one failed.

[G.K.]

Win

Bitch is hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

xDDDDD

1. Allow animated gifs for bot skins.

2. Install a better online server for lag-less online play.

1. What? Bots don't have animated skins IRL...


2: That would be nice.

[d-lark]

Fix the weight classes for lightweights so that they can actually equal 250 kg!

They usually don't have motors inside each other or stacked batteries either...

[SKBT]

Fix Pnumatic cylanders so they can be used to self right a botwould be a nice thing.

Some bots have light patterns or flashing lights. (rationalization to do this)

Actually, you both have a point.  And wouldn't it be kinda cool if we could skin components that had animations for parts that actually moved. Like electric motors that have actual spinning innards (made with an animated skin).  I think the other possibilities could be scrolling LED signs on a bot (which isn't that far off to think about).

Ambient lighting would be cool... I know it is not practical but I am thinking about futuristic themed bots with neon underglow and glowing innards.  Sure, they don't do it in real life now because it is no way efficient.  But, in game, I think that would spice up the Candy quite a bit.

Edit: Ha! Shishka beat me to it!

[JoeBlo]

just make the game accept gif images in general... so you can make animated UI without a load of painful and difficult Gib work (I still havent figured out if its possable) :P

[Reier]

Sage: my point.
Make it so you can't stack or have components intersect. :P

[JoeBlo]

it would be cool to make objects collide with themselves same as they do with other robots componants so overlapping couldnt be done.

only thing is that would probaly make them not able to pass though the chassis without some smart coding work

[russian roulette]

More complex Chassis Design, i.e. no more having to topple over to get a cut off wedge or a drum chassis.

[Somebody]

2 Problems...

1. Think if you had 8 .gif motors and a .gif skin on your bot. It would lagggggggggggg.

2. Serge is gonna flip when he sees this.

An animated bot preview would be better.


Also, JB's idea on self-colliding components is exactly what I wanted to have for a long time. XD

[Naryar]

Clearly, animated components and animated skins = massive lag fest.

But this is awesome

[Pwnator]

Oh yeah, a much more beneficial feature would be a chassis weight calculator while sliding the ruler up and down.

[Madiaba]

Lots of thoughts here....

Is that a 'trial' version of IDA(pro), Serge?

[Naryar]

Lots of thoughts here....

But not enough modders, huh ?

[Condor33]

Adding in more than just plastic, aluminum, tite, steel armors would be nice.
 
I have no idea how you're managing to do this, Serge, but keep it up.
