Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

[Thyrus]

to make this pack more realistic you should bann spinners

[Jaydee99]

Eruption is amazing!

[Mr. AS]

to make this pack more realistic you should bann spinners

Idea: make two versions of the pack, "American" and "British" versions. The American version would be fine and dandy and have all the bots. The British version would remove any bot that wansn't a pure wedge or flipper, and removes any spin motors that aren't for drive, along with any discs or tribars.

Loving Eruption. This will be an amazing pack and I am sure will get a lot of attention when it's out (especially for the people who like to do display tournaments.)

[Mouldy]

I will be genuinely honest HB. If I didn't already know that this was a mod and that Eruption was the first thing I saw; I would say that's real life bot. Genuinely, it's that good.

EDIT: Tested it on my mum and she thought it was a real life one. Nice going!

[Jaydee99]

To be quite honest, GTM sucks at sarcasm.

[Resetti's Replicas]

Thanks guys. I'm not releasing a Beta of this, otherwise it would spoil the surprise.

I've notice over the years that a massive number of people are dissatisfied with the DSL Storm 2, myself included for its inability to ram, get underneath other robots, the shell reflection, its visual proportions and the fact that it didn't run both ways up... So I've made my own for this pack. This is literally just a rammer, it will get underneath anything and ram you very fast into the wall, It works both ways up and will launch you out of the arena in the same style as it did with Steel Avenger in real life if your not careful. Now the AI one doesn't have any active weapons because well... if it could self right then the player will never win so a version of this with the double action arm will come out in the subscribers list so it can lift up opponents as it did in series 7 or self right like Firestorm in case you land yourself in a bit of peril.

(Image removed from quote.)

Quite proud of this, I hope you also find it far more tasty to look at than the DSL version.

Hmm, a thought occurs to me - you could try using the "Chopper" AI.  It's your standard smartzone-based AI, but the weapon won't fire if the robot is upside down.  It also won't try to self-right if you have "invertible" set to "true"

Okay, I've just deleted a whole load of posts. Seriously guys, arguments about jokes and sarcasm are NOT the topic of this thread. Thy and AS made some amusing comments so I left them, but everything else is gone. Please don't make me clean this again - this thread is getting a lot of attention from outside GTM and negative impressions are not what we need.
As with Jaydee's AI thread, any further stupidity/overreactions/off-topic will result in some form of warn for now. Please contact me or another mod if you have any issues.

Yo, I hate to be one to ask more of you, especially since you're already doing a freakin' amazing job with the robots so far, but could there possibly be a newer version of Chaos II? The DSL 2.1 one is enhh, and gut feeling tells me that it'd look awesome with your design work.

Wham already did a really good one. In fact it's one of my favourites from the pack.

[Badnik96]

Yeah Wham's Chaos 2 is very good and incredibly fun to play with.

presumably it would be updated since HB has taken over

I think I recall HB saying that he wouldn't upgrade any of Wham's bots that fit in with his own. I'm probably wrong but Chaos 2 would fit nicely so I think it won't be changed.

The only suggestion I would make would be to fix the flipper a bit. Some of the back of it clips through the robot when it fires.

I agree, this has always bugged me. One way I thought it might be possible is by using a modded skirt hinge type burst attached to the top of Chaos's back panel, with the very end of the flipper attached to this. Some of the people more experienced with making and editing replicas and components can tell me if this is a good idea or not.
Here's a really quick picture to illustrate the idea:

Where the red is the skirt hinge and the green is where it attaches to the flipper

[Resetti's Replicas]

Actually that's not a bad idea.  It's not my call to make, but that would be how I'd do it.

Looks good, the only problem is that when it fires, I think it might look a little off. The reason is on the real chaos 2, the flipper hinge wasn't right at the top, that was the flipper's armour

True, but this is no less realistic and true to the original than the flipper clipping through the robot :P

Guess so

[bigbiggerbiggest]

like your arenas and robots HB hope it will come out

also you could put in game music in the arenas like ace uplink's battlebot and firebeetle's Geosphere and no offence but the oil rig and Siberian military are just arenas reskinned and not like it is in RW AOD.
