Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

[thesnowingsteak]

I've tried getting some of S3, Sumpthing and Black Hole but no luck HB no offense but say if you can't get a high res pic why not as a suggestion instead get a loose pic and make the skin based off that.

I've tried getting some of S3, Sumpthing and Black Hole but no luck HB no offense but say if you can't get a high res pic why not as a suggestion instead get a loose pic and make the skin based off that.

Loose pics are what I use top make mine.  They're not good enough for this pack.  HB, can you confirm that the ones on the Robot Wars Wiki, and screencaps from the Youtube vids, aren't high-quality enough?  Just wanna make sure you've covered all your bases.

As for Tetanus, my vote is ver. 3 on the merit of not being a crusher, because let's face it, RA2 just can't do them justice.

[AlexGRFan97]

If HQ photos and loose pics are impossible, why not consider making your own textures from scratch in The Shop of Photographs - Computer Science III.exe? It's the way they made most of the robots in AoD, and they turned out looking fine for the most part.

S3 will be an arse again, but I will make it on one condition... Someone provides me with photographs of of the logo and of the wheel hub so I can use them for the skin. If no-one can send me decent snaps then it's off the list. So I guess this makes it the peoples contribution!

S3, I can provide pictures of the wheel hub. Logo though... Hmm. I'm not sure about that, but I'll see what I can do.

[Jaydee99]

I love Minor Tom. I've only see one video of it in real life. Does it do well?

[Knight]

S3's logo shouldn't be too much a problem since it uses a Stencil font. Finding good pictures of the wheelhubs maybe a bit tricky though. In regards to Mortis, isn't it possible to AI the lifting arm to only work as its srimech?

Minor Tom looks great. Just curious if its lifting arm will work like it does IRL.

I would say this is a good idea, as Mortis hardly used its lifting arm IIRC and mainly attacked with that tanto blade.

Okay, time for the moderator's note.

There is a time when suggestions cross into requests and at times that was crossed. Multiple posts asking for 1 thing is also unneeded, however I'm sure DS7 also realizes now that perhaps a volatile response such as the one he gave was not sensitive to the situation.
If we could avoid a similar situation that would be wonderful.

We're all here to enjoy the work being done, and that said, Minor Tom is looking great, and I know Plazmic Inferno is very pleased with it. He told me. With his mouth.

So the solutions would be to...

A) Type our post carefully so that everyone sees it in the same prospective as the user and so we don't upset or offend anyone by accident.

B) Come together as a group so we can get a better understanding of what we want as a group instead and to try not to request anything unnecessary.

[cephalopod]

Or everyone could just be chill. It's not a hard concept.
Appreciate this is being made by 2 people, appreciate what is being given, don't go crazy asking for more.
Equally, everyone is bound under the same rules to not flame each other and try not to react badly.

[Tweedy]

Now, I love Minor Tom. I've only see one video of it in real life. Does it do well?

Going on the fights from this weekend it does quite well considering its lack of srimech.

[RedAce]

If I'm one of those crazy "I want to see that bot" person, Sorry 'bout that.


Anyway, Minor Tom looks pretty good, let's hope marty doesn't kill this one.

[RpJk]

Ah so this is Minor Tom. Looks cool.

Anyways HB if you're still taking requests may I suggest Wel-Dor? I can understand if it does not end up in it but hey it's your pack, your call.

EDIT: Just realized what happened on the last page. Apologies Craaig and the developers. Edited it so it does not look desperate

Requests were never really asked for, unlike suggestions. Unless you're a dev please don't respond to this post in reference to requests. Also please stop editing this notice out. -Craaig

[helloface]

Tetanus. Yeah it's class! But version 2 or 3?

To be honest I always liked the first one the most  :P  I guess the second would be better than none.

Keep up the fantastic work by the way, I absolutely love all that you've done.

Just thought i would unveil the newest robot to the mod, its the 2011 Uk Champion version of Ripper.

Currently i own this version of Ripper in the form of Dystopia, however i did use to own it in Ripper form aswell so it will be going into my team in game. Below are Real life and in game shots of the two heavyweights you will be fighting against in Team G.A.R


Ripper Mk5 Real life



Ripper Mk5 in-game



Dystopia Real life



Dystopia in-game



Note

Also, both my featherweights will be in the game. However we are not sure which one will be in my in game team yet. If anyone wants to suggest which they would like in the game, then simply choose between the two below.

Defector

2014 Uk Featherweight 4th place. As of this years Uk championships, Defector is the 2nd most powerful featherweight flipper in the world (behind Flow). Defector is invertible, which a short stroke but powerful flip. There is a video of Defector fighting for the last place in the semi finals this year below.





Utopia

A featherweight version of Dystopia, which is currently not completely built yet. Photo below of how it looks currently, with only the scoop now to be put in place (which will be visually similar to Dystopias.)

[El Chickenado]

thats the best i could get

Utopia

Cool.
For your game team just put whichever one you like more. If you can't decide though, I would put Defector in unless Utopia has been in a competition before the mod release date.

[Resetti's Replicas]

If Utopia really is just a FW Dys, then Defector gets my vote - for the sake of variety.

[Jarvis_Rapture]

Don't I know it
Utopia's looking good, it'll be a tough one to fight when it's done. I've already told you this but I suggest putting Defector in your team, it being a bit different as well as the better and more entertaining robot (reffering to the hole in one on LH3).

[jackster96]

Just wondering what are your views on fluffy? you missed him out when going through them :P
