Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

[HurricaneAndrew]

And the default camera in the series 7 arena should be the pod!

I don't think any Robot Wars Arena in any game has actually done this. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you put the Robot Wars arena from DSL into Stock, you get a Craig Charles view which is basically the same.

IT IS NOT THE SAME! HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST SUCH HERESY?!

[Doge Robotics]

There's only two arenas out of the whole game that work!

how so

[cephalopod]

Yeah, that's very much not true, so perhaps we can find out what's going (or maybe what you're doing) wrong :P
Have you extracted the zip?

[HereticBlue]

Robot Dogebotics, you're doing it wrong. 1/8

Tashic, great to see you like the weird style of building, I was going to make more bulkheads buts then err... Ran out of time I guess. If you check the date on those files they were only made like 2-4 days before release. The flipper ones are actually ones that Jarvis designed for the new Flow, before he decided to make something a bit different.

The spinners are made from two collisions because it was easier to get the balance that way, (one of the curses of actually making the meshes for components rather than editing the code) on the plus side you get a much better bite and you can throw your opponent quite well.

Hypnodisc HP is for those hardcore stuck in the past RW fans who think HP should be able to beat anything.  so it uses a motor more powerful than last rites... But then again Scorpion uses the same motor, people just need to get uses to turning the disc off now and again. They definitely need to with Last Rites to calm it down and Ray does it in real life.... Hell I think all the roboteers are constantly touching the throttle. Definitely who I know do.

A lot of the arenas are a result on me trying to get realistic camera angles on watch cam. I've done a roboteers view for most but I didn't with the RWS7 arena because I thought the Craig Charles view was still there... Whoops. We did have a much better and realistic series 7 arena made but we couldn't get the hazards working. It would've literally been a pit and oota zones.

As for the RWS1 Arena, Wham is the only one on our team who created via GMF editing. Guess that's one of the results of a half finished being deadlined. Hell, I had to do the texture for the main wall and finish the oota zones a couple of days before release.

But aye Jpjk & Yug, the static cameras are pretty bollocks because I didn't want to ruin the realistic perspective of the arenas... And a few snuck in that probably shouldn't have. I'll see what I can do for the expansion but our to do list is getting pretty hefty now.

[Tashic]

Thanks for the explanation HB!

It's nice to know why things are made the way they are.

Hey guys. I am really excited to get this going, but I'm having a problem. The arenas aren't loading! I try going on the events, doing 1v1 manually, ect. But I can't select an arena. I try to start it, but it just freezes. Any ideas?

[Mecha]

Still haven't downloaded :>
im such a loser

I'd recommend re-installing the whole thing, or just re-loading the arenas, or eat a sandwich. I don't really know.

HB can I ask what on eath is up with  the LEOP.wav file why is it there

I just found it and I'm terrified....

...From DSL maybe?

I just found the file, and I'm pretty sure it's a sound file for one of Firebeetle's Custom Component Pack.

Also, I found a holeinone2.wav file... last modified 8/26/1994.

Edit: actually I'm starting to find a lot more files from that pack as I look now.

Pointlessly terrifying sounds I'm guessing.

Redace, can you PM me a list of them please? I'll get them deleted for the update/expansion/reboot.


I've been tryin to cram in as much work into the expansion as I can while doing the flat out. The latest bot the join the party is made from one the ancient meshes from page 1/2 of this thread, I did make it again in 3ds but that version is now obsolete. Anyone guess which robot it is?

[RedAce]

Yeah, just give me a moment to find them.

Edit: Wait, I just remembered, how will you delete them from our computers in an update?  Or will you just get rid of the ones so we don't download it again?

Series 7 X-Terminator.  If I'm wrong, then no I can't guess what bot it is.

I also think this. It seems to be the only robot that carries over from page 1 to 2, but I may be mistaken as I only had a quick look.

Quickest guessing game ever.

[cephalopod]

Also the least correct guessing game.
By 'page 1/2' HB may have meant 'page 1 or 2'

[HereticBlue]

I just had a quick double check... It's from page 2 hahaha.

[playzooki]

is it jaguar
