I think it's only fair that I write this post in this thread.

The pack will be discontinued from my end. I will no longer be working on it due to the fact that I no longer have time to do stuff like this. I'm currently in a hard stage of life and so would just be holding the pack until 2018 if I was to continue it. So I will no longer be doing any more work on it.

However, I have handed all rights over to HereticBlue to use everything I have made for this pack (released and unreleased) for his amazing pack. I will be sending everything I have over to him later on. Please go and support HereticBlue's work as it is incredible!!

I'm really sorry that I won't be able to continue this pack, but I will occasionally be around on the forums to see how everyone's doing and how things are going.

Thanks,
Matt Hunt (WhamettNuht)

Yeah... i'm doing it :P

A lot of the replicas I've been posting in Clicks DSL thread will be used in this :P
I've also made RA2 versions of the non real robots found in the AOD and ED games :) Just to fill up the spaces :P

I'll most likely post pics as I go along, however here's some of the things I have so far, or am hoping to achieve:

-Normal 13 teams, consisting of a lightweight and heavyweight robot based on those found in AOD and ED, and the 3rd HW spot taken up by a replica bot. There might also be a couple of extra teams for other bots, e.g. House Robots, Antweights, ect.

-A few more new arenas (i'm sure most of you have seen my work in my RW arena thread)

-New UI based on the RW Games

-Some new music has been done inspired on the games (Even replaced the hopp_club music with the results music from RW)

Basically I want to try and make an AI pack that is a cross between RA2 and the RW games :P
However I'll need a couple of helping hands :)
I'd like to ask GF and Ducky to help as they've been massive helps already :P
I'll need:

-Good UI'ers

-Some people to make good skins for the non-real RW robots

-Some good Arena/GMF creators (To turn my arena meshes into working arenas, Click's already working on the RW arena itself)

I'm mostly working on the replicas and robots themselves, and trying to organise as many things as possible :P
So... anyone fancy helping out? :) Other than that... stay tuned :P

you and red should totally combine your packs to make one big pack like the dsl 2 ai was.

Count me in, Wham.

Thyrus · « **Reply #3 on:** April 11, 2013, 02:59:45 PM »

what do you mean with the non RW bots skinning? like skinning the parts? How do they look?

Dangerfield7up · « **Reply #4 on:** April 11, 2013, 03:30:39 PM »

Will you ever finish your Roaming Robots (now Robot Wars) pack?

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #5 on:** April 11, 2013, 03:34:49 PM »

GF - Sweet! :) Fancy the job of skinning the non RW bots? :P

Thyrus - the chassis

And consider the one I put out done :P In other words - no :P

For now just post pics of the bots with ya skins on and i'll get them later on :)

Mr. AS · « **Reply #9 on:** April 11, 2013, 04:04:19 PM »

this is just SO nostalgic for me. i would be willing to help make some of the game replicas if you want.

Ducky · « **Reply #10 on:** April 11, 2013, 05:24:35 PM »

Ooh yay was hoping we'd make one! Sounds good! Wouldn't mind giving the UI or skins in general a go. Would the UI layout be based of the current one and just be a different design?

And I've played about a lot with the Robot Wars music/sfx, so if any work needs doing with those then count me in with that too! :) I'm pretty new to the coding side of it though aha.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #11 on:** April 11, 2013, 05:37:32 PM »

I'd really love someone to work on the UI :)

Ducky · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2013, 06:01:40 PM »

Cool! :) I'll have an experiment when I can! What might be the actual name for it?

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #13 on:** April 12, 2013, 04:03:06 AM »

Okdoke :) And name for what... the AI Pack? :P If so most likely just Robot Wars 2013 AI :3

akshaylan · « **Reply #14 on:** April 12, 2013, 08:10:18 AM »

I could help do some of the bot skinning

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2013, 07:30:57 PM »

Started work on the new 259 :)

Now bigger and stronger. The disc is powered now by a 132 perm motor. Can now easily destroy other bots. Has also had a nice retexture :P

Tommorow im hoping to work on the skirts and finish up the body's texture :)

Ah yes, that's looking pretty good so far- have the issues with the disc's collision been sorted out?

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #17 on:** April 13, 2013, 07:37:37 PM »

Not really. I don't particuarly get how all this collision schieβe works :P
