Title: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

Head over to Facebook and grab your copy! The + Update has now been released!

https://www.facebook.com/RWRA2 (https://www.facebook.com/RWRA2)


Thank you so much for the positive feedback so far guys! :) It really means a lot to us.

Admittedly some arenas aren't finished and theres not even 1/4 of the new weapons we wanted to include, simply due to time constraints. But Either way we didn't want to make you guys wait any longer to try out these replicas and get the classic feel of Robot Wars, RW Arenas of Destruction and RW Live all rolled into one.

Some things have changed from regular mods, like the assembly of spinners, crushers and some axes. They are two/three piece components that have to be mounted to a mega adapter and rotated into position. Spinners have an invisible half because the collision is only for one single tooth, so you need to hit F12 and rotate the invisible half until the collision is 180 degrees from the visible part of the drum. This does seem like time wasting but.... It does mean you hit your opponents a lot harder than before and ootas with verticals are very much possible. The motors and lips battery, believe it or not, if you get these components in real life you will get the same amount of oomph. The team is built of roboteers so we've had a play with most of these ourselves. Oh and I hope the music & sfx upgrade for the arenas and UI helps you get that RWED feel.

Oh hey, I remember that from the old Magazine! Interesting to see it again after all these years, I remember thinking how cool the idea of a "Drop & Crush" Pit and Horizontal Sawblades were, actually.


The Arenas themselves look awesome too, even in such an early stage. Perhaps they'll work well for the final version of Whammettnuht's Robot Wars 2013 pack?

These look amazing!! Great work! :) I might be able to work with you on converting the mesh to a file RA2 can read - as for the very fiddly coding part, might wanna ask someone like Trov...


But yeah I'd be willing to help :)

I remember thinking it looked class at the time, but now I look at it and feel like a complete utter nerd...  :rage but hey I'm still here.  :gawe:

If I can get them to work in the game then yes it could be a good addition to Whams AI pack, I'll ask him.

Cheers mate, I really appreciate this. If we can get them working then as Golden Fox says they could be decent additions to your pack, your choice of course. I'm trying trying to help rebuild the enthusiasm in Robot Arena for myself and others.

I think starting with the arena might be a bit challenging though, I have made a few components for replicas though such as Tsunami's flipper & body, Tough As Nails Claws and Mega Morg's series 6 shell if it helps.

I'll have to catch him some time when he's online, but it would be great to contribute to the pack.

I might as well post these as it will add a bit more interest to the thread, these are the shells for Xterminator & Mega/Mini Morg and Tough as Nails claws, still waiting to be formatted and exported into the game.

Maybe separate the pieces of the body, so for example the scoop of X-Terminator can come off? Might be laggy, but adds realism. Also, we badly need more wheels. I would like to see a proper Go-Kart tyre, like the ones on Dominator 2 or TriMangle. Technos are too wide.

I particularly love the look of Tsunami and X-Terminator so far- they should be fantastic additions to the pack once they're ready. Mega Morg looks interesting as well, and as much as I dislike it in real life, I suppose I can see Cheap as Chips in there being a good thing, too.

At least if only for being able to wreck it with Terrorhurtz.  :P

All I would say with Exterminator is, is it worth taking the little bobbles on the self righting hubs off? Then you could make them as a separate component or whatever and actually make them function. But that's not to say anything bad, they all look incredible.

Sorry I should have said, the scoop is already a separate component so it can be attached to a burst for the realistic hinge movement. I do agree we need more wheels but for the time being I'm not going to even think of the idea, Its difficult enough for the experienced to get them to work in the game, I doubt I would have much luck with them at such an early stage. I might try to do it in the future but it will have to wait.

Cheers mate, I dont know if they will be part of the pack to be honest, Wham hasn't messaged me back. The reason why I dished out Mega Morg is because it is a uniquely shaped robot, it was popular in the series and its Tag Team partners Diotor & X-terminator are already in the game so it would be a good addition for the RW purist.  :thumbup

I would like to do that but to make them fore-fill their purpose realistically within gameplay would be an absolute arse. Invisible righting arms on burst motors might aiding the spikes might be the only way around the issue but It could cause the game to lag.




Right, well I'm still waiting for a reply from Wham before the components and arenas can get exported into the game so I got bored last night and I knocked up a rough representation of the Series 3 arena as it is probably one of the most requested areas today.

Interesting. I've always wanted that kind of arena in which the only hazard is a pit and OOTA walls.

Maybe a go at Series 1 next?

He has been away for quite a while, but he did say he's busy but would be happy for any help he can receive with it, so give him some time. As for Mega Morg, that's definitely a nice addition when seen in that way- I mean, it'd certainly be fun to have a rematch with Firestorm using it.

How about something like this for the inside? It worked well for a remade version of Vlad the Impaler's srimech I tried in DSL2, so perhaps it might do here as well.

Don't want to burst your bubble, but I think you're forgetting about the floor spikes, the flame pit and the flipper. There were also the wall-mounted flamethrowers, but they might be difficult to implement. Ah well, there's always an optional version of the arena with the sealed pit from the heat final onwards.

I must say I still love tough as nails. It was a smart design, and a simple one: grab opponent, take it into the pit, and win.

I've made a combination of the Series 1 & 2 arenas but im not too sure whether it would be worth adding to the game.

Ooh, looks plausible. It might lag the arse off the game but its worth a try!  :rage

I agree with you regarding the flamethrowers, I'd have to have a few words with the experienced builders/scripters to find out whether or not they're worth it.


Anyway, I'm still waiting for a reply from Wham so I knocked up the two iconic robots, Iron Awe 2.1 & Robochicken.

Excellent. It didn't lag too much when I tried it with Vlad, so hopefully it should be alright.


Robochicken and Iron Awe look fantastic too, I must say. They should be great once they're in the game.  :D

Cheers mate, its just getting them into the game first, otherwise my work will count for nothing and failure is not an option for me!

What are you making these in and can they be exported to RA2?

I use Skeptchup Pro and export the files to 3ds. I use this successfully for creating products for shapeways (3d Printing) so it should work for the game, although this might be a bit of an optimisitic view.

Since Wham still hasnt responded to my messages, I've decided to track down 3DS Max myself with the built in GMF exporter. Sadly i havent had much luck in doing this so far so if anyone either knows of a reliable download or has the program and are willing to send me the file then please get in touch. Cheers.

In other news just to keep the thread from dying, I have created Spawn Again's shell & flipper.

(http://i44.tinypic.com/kf4lts.jpg)

I have also been attempting to create the Roaming Robots, Oil Rig and Steelworks arenas although they're still in a rough state so I wont post pictures just yet.



Thanks
Have a good Christmas.

I'm getting bored of this now, creating bodies but not being able to export them!

Here's Wild Thing & Steel Avenger, two essentials for a RW pack.

Well there was a Minibot of Wild Thing, which is more than can be said for robots such as BattleBots Hazard, a robot that won its own division THREE TIMES and didn't get a SINGLE piece of merchandise made after it.

I would be if the skin worked, since i saw the line up of robots due to appear in the last series it became my favourite robot from series 7.

Wish a motor either side of the disc, it is realistically powerful and can throw other robots out of the arena if angled correctly.

(http://i39.tinypic.com/245n90p.jpg)


In other news, the only component I have managed to export with the skin so far. I tried the same technique afterwards and it didnt seem to work.

Either way I know it is something a lot of members want, Tornado's wedge.

I cant say that my stuff is anywhere near as good as Whams. I'm relatively inexperienced in comparison, I still havent quite got my head around skinning yet. Regardless, Im very pleased that you like what I've made so far. If these do become part of Wham's pack then you will be use these as much as your heart contents.

I'm not as happy with this as I am with the others but here is Kat 3 mk3 (series 7 version). It is quite powerful, self rights just like the real thing and is an absolute arse to beat when Ai'd. The main axe spike and arm are by Wham. The shell, skin and wedge blade are by yours truly.

Thanks lads and thank you Sonny, I'm really pleased that you like how Cerberus is coming along so far. I figured that it was about time that I dived into the deep end. The results even I am impressed with, although once again I've hit a snag with the skinning issue. For the life of me, I cannot get my head around correctly positioning an element of the skin in the place I want it to be without it repeating over the rest of the object, in this case Its the eyes on Cerberus' head... Its doing my nut in.

And yes, i guess I can take requests but only if the robot in question is/was popular enough on the TV show, whether it was the UK, US, Dutch or German wars. ;) General Chompsalot shouldn't be to hard but I can see it being very annoying to use in the game.

Scrap Daddy, I use 3d Studio Max. It took me since October to get the hang of using it and exporting files to RA2 so it isnt really for the faint hearted. I work for a 3D printing buisness and there is quite a lot of CAD design work gone into it and I still found 3ds quite difficult to get around.

Anyway, here is the latest screenshot of Cerberus, using Splinter's axe heads as the claws. This is also to show you the Botlab skin I conjured up in a similar fashion to the Series 2 & 7 lighting.

About the skinning issue, is it possible to split the shell into separate pieces? Individual parts might be easier to skin well rather than one big part that has loads of corners and curves.

About the skinning issue, is it possible to split the shell into separate pieces? Individual parts might be easier to skin well rather than one big part that has loads of corners and curves.
That is what I usually do but it seemed like pointless labour with just Cerberus' head, simply for a pair of eyes.

If anyone is willing to have a bash and they have evidence that they can skin then I will send out the component for you, if I like the outcome then I'll send you the rest of the parts as well as the replica.

Aw yiss

Do you take requests? I'd love to see General Chompsalot in this pack somewhere.


Since this was the first request I got.... here you go mate ;)

I dont think ill ever be as happy with this as I was with Cerberus but I still made an attempt at it. I probably should have done the first version as that was more popular and theres a good amount of photography of it. I thought the Season 2 version would be better as its closer to to Jawbreakers Revenge (personal fav) than the original.

If you want to see more pictures of it then ask away lads. Until I can get some overhead shots of the top panel and a few decent quality shots of the rear panel, this is the best your going to get.


As for the next replicas, Twn Twrn and Elvis just seem daft to me, I can make a complex model but if its going to be difficult to get the skin to sit in the right placed then I wont bother, sorry lads. Trident and Spawn Again on the other hand yes! I was considering both of them.



So next on the list:

#Spawn Again (S6 version)
#Trident

Any other requests lads?

I would like to make Eruption, Iron Awe 6 and Ripper but for the time being I'm focusing on popular Robot Wars competitors. This is probably the closest you're going to get to a modern replica from me for the time being and it only uses reskinned flipper panels and a skirt hinge burst with added oomph.

feel free to post a picture and I'll consider sending you the head.  ;)

King B seems too simple bodywise and I don't yet know how to make see through textures. I do not see any point in making Mortis as Wham has already started on it for the pack and I can tell you it looks too damn fine to replace. Atomic on the other hand, the series 7 flipper was the first component I made successfully for the game. It looks okay but to fully make a decent replica I need to create a custom shell which at the moment would be too annoying without decent skills in skinning.

The blocks in the flipper panel is so that when you ram into an opponent and scoop it up, it doesnt end up rolling over the top of Atomic and you can push it towards the arena side wall and using the momentum, flip it out of the arena... much like the real thing infact.

(http://i59.tinypic.com/2njiw48.jpg)





Non of you have actually said what you think of General Chompsalot 2, can I have a few critical opinions first so I can improve it to some degree before I start making another replica?

Thanks mate, I didn't notice sorry about that. The Atomic bodywork is quite a complex wedge box in real life and with all those curves I think would be a challenge for anyone to make it 100% accurately, I wouldnt mind having another bash at it though.  ;) I do like Grim Reaper and its Battlebots style green framework, it depends obviously. there are so many replicas people want but only so many can fit in an AI and Robot Designs pack.


Atomic looks damn impressive. Thank You HB. I was having one of the worst days in recent memory but that made my day better.

Next challenge: Judge Shred 3
No bother! glad this perked you up. Judgeshred 3 I do like but i dont think it really made an impact on Robot Wars enough to be part of... well anything! I did like how it chucked Corkscrew out of the arena, but you cant mess with the Scottish.

to the general: it looks pretty good it just needs a higher resolution skin and some srews but they can be painted on

I was thinking exactly the same thing, although i noticed that when you import a higher resolution skin, you cant dirty it up which is very disappointing. If someone can track down some decent photographs or find US Season 2 battle with GC2 in it then I can have a good crack at a higher quality and more accurate skin. One of my jobs outside the interweb being 3d printing and recreational modelling I understand the importance of rivets. but working with such low quality skins on RA2 makes it not seem worth while. If it didn't slow the game down then I would add 3D rivets individually to the panels on the robots.

Love GC2 and Atomic. It'd be a shame if Wham didn't contact you to help him with his pack.

I'd personally like to see T2, Wheelosaurus or Pitbull.
I appreciate your enthusiasm... and Id have to agree, it would be quite disappointing. If Wham doesn't want me to have any involvement with the pack then I guess you'll end up having a very extensive Robot Designs & components pack to play with and AI yourself. Regarding your suggestions, T2 & Pitbull Id quite like to do but it will probably have to wait until I have made the most popular robots, then I'll be looking for last resorts to finish filling up the Robot Designs pack.

I would love to see Gravity personally ;)

Finally a international, yet popular robot suggestion!   :beer: Gravity I see as essential but in the game I can see its characteristics being similar to Wheely Big cheese.... too similar. Again the plexiglass thing is a worry. and there is a bit of complexity to the shells shape but I might be able to pull it off. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Tough As Nails for Holland and Tsunami for Germany should have the priority over gravity being more successful outside of RW Series 7... And I'm not just saying that because they were my first attempts at this project.  :p Haha.

Yea feel free mate, send them through my inbox.

Don't tempt me! I absolutely adore Mute. I like M2 quite a bit aswell, that unique barrel wedge chassis really interests me. M2 would have to wait until I gain more experience but Mute I think would be a breeze.

Out of curiosity how are you structuring this mod?

Are you going to release small bits of it along the way or do in one big go?
Also whats exactly in it as in what are hoping will be in it?

Its nice to see someone ask this. What I am doing is not really a mod as such, what I am doing is creating what is assumed by the forum users as the most popular or liked robots from Robot Wars to potentially join the Whams Robot Wars AI pack as additional AI teams. The less popular robots out of the 'chosen ones' will be exported into the robot designs folder for use in the game by the user, much like when you play one of the Robot Wars Extreme/Arenas of Destruction games and one of your first robots is mediocre replica.

What the user will be getting out of my contribution to the Robot Wars AI pack is an extensive recapture of the Robot Wars essence rather than another influence on the Robot Arena 2 game. With this additional replicas you can upgrade them and compete against a vast array of other replicas rather than just a handful and feeling the limitations of a small pack.





And finally to end this post positively, something I completely forgotten about, Wild thing.

I don't think that there's any others I successfully exported, never mind skinned. Mega Morg reached the same stage as Xterminator but I since it is quite a boring robot, just there for the fun of the crowd I guessed it would be useless until I could skin it.

Fluffy and Storm II I think made a damn good impression but would be worth getting thrown into a pack of All Stars, mind I do tink Storm II has more right to be included than Typhoon. I'll try and replicate it in a way that it will perform like the real thing. I managed to AI the Tornado with the scoop I made a few month back and that scoops you up and rams you into the wall in a Tornado sort of manner.

Wham has already made the body for Cassius 2 and I expect that he is also working on the flipper prior to AIing. Roobarb, Constrictor, & Trax are barely noticed one timers so I doubt there being much point in making them.

What about football, bacon, cigarettes and a Lamborghini? ;) I dont see there being much point in doing Firestorm I. Its too easy for anyone to make in Botlab, like my replica in the err... Replicas thread. I do quite like Steg 2 and Kronic but neither made a good impression in the wars.
Pressure was bollocks, Mighty Mouse Wham has already done, but I guess I can always improve it.  :approve:
Tom, I wish you hadn't mentioned Sgt Bash, I'm really damn tempted! I just don't see what purpose a house robot could  have in a competitor AI pack. Maybe something for the Robot Designs folder?

Oh I forgot to show you all this, The claws are from DSL 3 but reskinned and revamped, the battering ram is new and the shell is made in botlab but protected from a custom protective invisible shell, the only way to destroy it being to hit with an axe where the name is on the top of the body.

I'm not 100% happy with it but the custom shell was not working how I wanted it to, this might be the best your going to get for the 2 time Annihilator champion.

(http://i62.tinypic.com/2epk7et.jpg)

The good thing is with the claws is that like General Chompalot, if it gets a hold of you, then you will be stuck until it either lets go or you shake it loose in battle. So who said crushers don't work in Robot Arena 2?   ;)

Title: Re: Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components
Post by: HereticBlue on April 02, 2014, 11:31:32 AM
I was thinking of a crap robot that you can gradually rip pieces off, in a similar manner to what Hypnodisc did to Ming and Razer did to Milly-Ann Bug. Something that looks daft but with large exposed wheels and fragile parts to pluck off. I could do Conquering Clown as well mind if you all like it so much.


Right, over the past couple of weeks I havent really had time to crack on with RA2 stuff. I had a bash at Mighty Mouse, the shell I made failed to export so I tried fitting the parts I made to Whams Roaming Robots AI Replica to see if can do the job. As you will see in the screenshot below, it doesnt look that good so I'm afraid that I'll have to put it on hold. I think for the mean time It might be better if i just cracked on with finishing Mega Morg, so look out for that in the next few days.

After my dissatisfaction with Mighty Mouse, i decided to have a crack at arena skinning. As some of you will noticed I did a slight recolour to the Robot Wars arena to bring some life into it... It was okay but not satisfying enough so to imitate the arena lighting, appropriately size the drop zone and improve the look of the crowd... I did this.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2hgv6rs.jpg)

(http://i57.tinypic.com/241ovtk.jpg)

As good as it is, it would be much better If i could get spot lights working to compliment it.


Anyway, I then replaced the low quality DSL Spin Arena skin with the Siberian Military base floor from RW ED with a few additions and alterations.

(http://i58.tinypic.com/14sz6td.jpg)


And lastly I did a bit of tweaking to the brilliant Raw2 arena using the skin from the RW AOD Oil Rig Arena.

(http://i62.tinypic.com/vd3gpk.jpg)

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2ql4p77.jpg)


why's spawn again not goibg to be an AI? :o

Well I didn't think it would be worth throwing in as its just going to be boring to battle. a large angled wedge with an oversized flipper that will be hard to get a hold of and get underneath. I guess I can always see what I can do.  ;)


Hope you like these. I'll have more stuff on the way soon in the form of Replicas.

Cheers lads! I didn't expect such good feedback for a bit of skinning. Mouldy King, I'm not too fond of cookies but if you have a keg of ale, ill gladly have that!  :beer:

I would still like to get the Series 3 and Magazine arenas from page 1 of this topic into the game if possible. I know the Series 3 arena will be very popular in particular for its simplicity, its low arena walls & nostalgia.  ;)


Sorry guys, I haven't been able to do much lately but I can show you this... If you look back to previous pages of this thread you will see the first render of Mega Morg, now obviously this was a very long time ago and since the picture was posted, the 3d model has been tweaked and changed to represent the Series 7 version and now finally (unless I can find something else to tweak) Mega Morg is finished.

(http://i58.tinypic.com/2qw0l1l.jpg)

Now should I finally try getting the arenas into the game or just admit defeat before attempting and get back to the replica list?

If it is thrown sideways then oh yes ;) Although if it gets flipped from the front or rear then you'll get a repeat of its battle against Robochicken.

helloface99, there isnt that many replicas left that I feel need to be done. I'm going to be having a bash at getting some arenas done and then see if Wham will have the lot as part of the Robot Wars AI pack.

Kaireptilion, keeping up with good work is harder than it seems. I think that there is a specific reason why no-one has attempted Tough as Nails before. The wheel motors are attached to the claws as per the real thing which makes the robot hard to control, the claws are pretty much unskinnable and as you can see in this test shot, I made the claws far too large!


(http://i62.tinypic.com/15yghvr.jpg)



Also here is proof that when I make clawed replicas, they actually do their job. Kan-Opener, like Jawbreaker is able to wedge robots between the jaws and drag them around to an arena hazard or the pit in particular.


(http://i60.tinypic.com/29e0sg7.jpg)



I'll try and get TAN sorted tonight but I think the outcome will have a standard metal texture with the holes absent. So by the looks of things TAN will be in the Robot Designs section of the pack with Xterminator for its lack of skin.

both bots use custom components. you need to locate all the components and theire .txt files in the componentfolder and copie it into your RWAI pack component folder to use them.

HB, I think those claws are actually accurate, I remember seeing Tough as nails at a Robot wars live event a couple of years ago and it looks accurate, in my opinion, you only need to skin them

Title: Re: Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components
Post by: HereticBlue on April 08, 2014, 11:26:19 AM
Cheers lads!

I do plan to get Bulldog Breed (DSL) & a new Storm II into the pack. I've given the former a very nice power upgrade on the flipper and it is now able to flip robots out of the arena. Storm II i want to redesign myself as the DSL version has a tendency to flip itself when it rams something, I want it to ram robots into walls at full pelt... Mind If your not careful battling my scoop equipped Tornado then it will ram you out of the arena!

As for M2, Ripper & St Agro... we'll have to wait and see what happens. ;) Supernova on the other hand is essential merely for the fact that it is from Sri Lanka, never mind its destructive capabilities!

Thyrus, normally i can but because of the odd wedge(ish) shape of the claws I cant, although I do have a cunning plan but I will definitely not be able to skin them.


I've been playing around with skins again last night. Please tell me what you think, my apologies for the old font still being there, i haven't a clue how to change it.

Thanks again lads, the buttons do need tweaking a bit so the hues match the background. I'm not looking forward to doing the main menu though.


amazing work.

are you skinning the claws with a bmp or do you use hexcolors in the gmf like the domeparts do?

I skin stuff with either bmp or tga through Photoshop, mind I dont know anything other than that to be honest.



Small bit of news... something that isnt on my list. I've never been happy with any of the Wheely Big Cheese Replicas that have been created for the game as they tend to be missing out the detail on the body and the bottom flipper panel is never the right shape so I decided to make my own designed in the same way as the toy. The skins all work as I wanted them to which I'm very pleased about, just need to add the logo to the flipper panel.

I hope you like it lads!

(http://i60.tinypic.com/1198b5u.jpg) (http://i59.tinypic.com/fut1n6.jpg)

The wheels are obviously from DSL and dont provide much grip so I might reskin another pair of wheels of a similar size to create WBC's exhibition tyres for player use.... And yes the flipper is powerful, it can easily throw 1000kg about 15-20ft in the air.

With the UI, I believe you cut out bits from images on another thread (sorry if this is wrong and I don't mean to sound bad). You could tidy up corners and such on certain pieces if you look back a few more posts and download the image files a user named "Ducky" uploaded from robot wars extreme destruction. There are some raw image files of pieces.
Hope this helps!

Title: Re: Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components
Post by: HereticBlue on April 22, 2014, 05:49:16 AM
Cheers lads,
TommyProductionsInc, your too kind! I dont have as much confidence in myself as you seem to in me, its very uplifting to hear.  :thumbup

Badnik, increasing the grip value doesn't seem to work effectively on this particular wheels.

Akshaylan, the elements of the skin were taken from screenshots i took myself on the game. I have noticed that I have erased a section of a corner piece and there is an annoying aura around the menu board. All will be corrected in time, unless I forget.


Right, I'm going to have a crack at actually making an arena now, I have a few ideas for what to make but I could do with an opinion or two for which would be the most desirable yet simple. The ideas I have listed are very different from the obscure things people usually come up, I want my arena additions to have the same natural dark ere atmosphere depicted in RWED.


First arena idea is something based in the well known location of the worlds largest nuclear disaster, Chernobyl.
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/11/28/article-2239505-163D5CAD000005DC-703_964x640.jpg)

Generic Abandoned Warehouse.
(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02003/school-room_2003902i.jpg)

Naples Catacombs
(http://www.italia.it/fileadmin/src/img/cluster_gallery/Citta_d_arte_Ravenna/catacombe_di_napoli/_0006_CATACOMBE-DI-S.-GENNARO-VESIBOLO-SUPERIORE.jpg)

Or an abandoned mine!
(http://www.abandonedmines.net/pacoal/photos/Coal%20mine%20shaft%20landing.jpg)



Now before anyone complains that these ideas are not legit arenas, well keep in mind the the DSL crew and Robot Wars game developers made arenas of the same idea and concept as this. Just probably not this dark.


So, which shall I have a bash at?
Chernobyl will most likely be a plain arena with bumper cars as obstacles and a low bumper wall as a flip out zone. The abandoned building would probably be the simplest to start off with as it would be a box arena. Naples' catacombs have the open tombs which can act as pits but hats generally it. And finally the coal mine, which could be collapsed at one side to prevent wandering and have the pit gates and shaft at the other to act as both an OOTA and pitting zones.

Looks like Chernobyl It is then! Right, just need a bit of brushing up on my skills and to understand how the area attachment points work and I should be able to get something going. If anyone can offer any advice then please do!

great work here I would love to see major tom from series 6 and extreme 2 also mousetrap?
not to be too demanding though love this work

I do think Major Tom Is essential but I think it would be too difficult to get the skin to work on the model without warping. I'm assuming all this crap could be easily corrected but there isn't anyone doing custom components at this moment in time. Wham obviously had the same issue as me when he made the Roaming Robots pack but looking at replicas such as Diotor, he obviously found a way around it but he doesn't come on the bloody forum any more. I work at Nissan doing body wrecking shifts on the assembly line AND co run a 3D printing business, I regularly go out clubbing and my girlfriend is always over but still I find the time to get on here somehow.

1. Hell No, so would I but nope.
2. I intend to, I'm only going to be touching up certain areas and improving the colours.
3. No haha. Wait and see what comes out of this pack, If I sent you everything before everyone else, then it wouldn't be very fair would it?




Right, while waiting for your replies, one evening I knocked up Robochicken to try and touch up my skills and I have to say, from the rear I'm chuffed, from the front where the head is, I'm absolutely disgusted. It has not worked out how I wanted it to.
Once I can get the skin working on the front body block, then I'll work on the head and make a blow up glove for the head properly.
I'll tell you what though, its a damn good fighter!

But to uplift a few spirits, here are some new wheels for Hypnodisc. They are an optional extra to make the robot look more true to its real like counterpart and they are now available for download here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=188 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=188)

Cheers lads, I havent a clue how to improve it. The colour of the frames annoys me but apparently its accurate.

I don't think I'll be throwing this into the pack, mainly because the lack of 'life' in the skin. But anyway here's a Hydra replica I started a while ago and have only just finished.

Hydra looks great  :claping well done on the skinning as well (for all your replicas as well)Just as good as Sonny Ressetis! I like the idea of including Tiberius in the pack. Also, I saw the sketch of Tsunami on the first page along with Spawn Again. Wishing good luck on them. I know for sure when the pack is finished I'll be using the bots for my series... And personal entertainment  :gawe: (I'm not being rude by saying personal entertainment, I mean I'll compete using them a lot and enjoy the hell out of it!!!) Thanks for doing these btw

Thanks again lads, I guess I will will have to include it if you want it in there so badly!

The subscribers list is an emailing list I'm thinking off so once people have downloaded the finished pack, every couple of weeks to a month they will get an add-on pack of more replicas, textures and possibly arenas.



Its my day off today so I decided to get Gravity started.

(http://i59.tinypic.com/10wisec.jpg)

Should be finished soon and when it is, it will be perfect to flip Hydra around the arena.  ;)

Thanks guys! glad you liked how it was coming on. I've only just managed to finish and test it and I have to say it was the most difficult replica I have ever made, mainly due to the extra polycarb panels, visible interior, collision zones and creating a new flipper burst to help my own Iron Awe 7 Burst get more oomph without havoking!

I think its finished anyway!

Bloody hell, and there was me thinking that the only thing people liked out of the Netherlands was the Red. Light District in Amsterdam!  :rage

Cheers lads! I knew people wanted to see a replica but I didn't think they'd want to see one that badly, I'm glad you like it! I think it's the first replica that looks remotely like it in the game never mind DSL, unless Sonny has done one before. I doubt that this is the best replica ever, Sonny's Ripper and the Grower from DSL were pretty damn good.

What next then lads? Finish off Crustacean or make. Tsunami, Ansgar's Revenge, PulverizeR?

Title: Re: Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components
Post by: HereticBlue on May 24, 2014, 05:29:43 AM
Jesus, I guess I have no choice but to do the three of them!

I have been struggling to get the dome shape of crustacean right without some sort of shading error occurring so it might be a while before I sort that out. Tsunami I'm not looking forward to either because the shell will be in a thousand different pieces just so the skin is right, nevertheless I'm feeling quite confident about it still. (famous last words)  :rage

Anyway here's Ansgar's Revenge, a nice simple job after spending hours getting Gravity right. But first, proof that General Chompsalot really does chomp on his opponents.


(http://i60.tinypic.com/2epsnie.jpg)

Ansgar's Revenge weighing at 1600kg (being a fake walker) with riveted wedge blades.

(http://i61.tinypic.com/ffdb9d.jpg)

And Gravity, looking even better in the RW arena getting underneath everything in sight except Tornado funnily enough.

Hope you like these!

I think we should leave HB to his Tsunami for now. He has thousands of request right now. And I think he's nearly done with it (but IDK just my prediction). He also has a few other robots that are in his to-do list. So, let's leave him at peace.

Jesus, I see the threads gotten a bit popular.  :rage

Erm, where do I start?
Thank you to everyone who has attempted to calm everyone down, its a shame it didn't really work though. :P

And in response to all you randy requesters, I'm not doing Big Cheese because I've already made its successor,  unless its for the series 3 RW AI pack I volenteered to help out with, you'll also find Trident, Scutters Revenge and many more in there when that's finished. I've already done the series 5 SMIDSY too so I'm not going to bother with the series 7 version.

Ripper, M2 and Maelstrom/St Agro you'll see with Titan if your on the subscribers list, I'm not saying whether or not I have done them already, you'll just have to wait and see. ;)

Mace 2 & Gemini are two robots I can decide between. If I make Gemini then please understand that it will be a massive kick in the face as they will end up being like the Minibot toy, joined back to back.

Yes that was splinter being flipped by Gravity, no I'm never doing Twn trwn, I'd rather smoke my cigarettes the wrong way round then do that. I am tempted by Weldor, its a nice robot and looks juicy to flip out of the arena. Wham's already started Mortis, I'll finish it if he never returns as well as attempt to take over the pack and do a brand new Razer.

Hmmm, you all actually didn't ask for much... Just the same robots repeatedly.  :facepalm:

Anyway, I've made a little bit more progress on Crustacean, the dome on the top and bottom of the shell is still more of a cone though. Tsunami I havent started yet though, I'm still trying to work out how on earth I'm going to do it as the flipper will have to made out of 4 pieces.

I guess this should keep you all content for a while?
...Latest addition!

Cheers lads, yes X-terminator will be skinned when I find the time. Well to be honest I was thinking about redoing it entirely.

Anyway here's how Crushtacean Is looking so far in 3DS.

(http://i57.tinypic.com/wnvvk.jpg)

I'm not to sure whether or not this rep will have active weapons, I might just end up designing the collision so that it traps robots between the claws rather than putting the AI or player through the difficulty of trying to grab something.

Post by: Badnik96 on May 29, 2014, 10:51:27 PM
Why would the two Gemini twins have to be conjoined? Surely you can make only one twin and just have us fight them in team matches or something...
Title: Re: Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components
Post by: HereticBlue on May 30, 2014, 11:31:39 AM
Thanks lads, I'm please you appreciate my work, I used Serge's tutorial on 3DS exporting with a little bit of extra advice here and there from Trov to get everything working.

Badnik, You see I would do Gemini as a single robot but I think it would be daft having to go into Team mode just to fight Gemini properly. I guess I can always see what I can do.

In other news, Crushtacean is finished. I was 100% happy with how it looked until it got into the game, so I'm not entirely satisfied but it does put up a damn good fight, dealing with its rivals in the same way as it dealt with Behemoth and Chaos 2.

There doesn't seem to be any 3ds 5 torrents left buzzing around so I use 3ds 8 and there is a tutorial linked below which shows you how to use components. It is a lot to get your head around, and even harder to master. To be honest I'm making a good amount of well sought after components with this pack such as the triple wedges, rammers armour, steel avenger/splinter style axe heads/claws, pistons for decoration on flipper and axe robots and so on so on. but obviously I'm not going to overdo it.

I managed to get it skinned, into the game, built up and completed, and its bloody brilliant even though I had to get rid of some of a few rivets for the exporting to work.

All In all... I'm chuffed.

This is going to be the best pack :')
Also, with regards to Gemini, both methods of making it would be pretty cool really. It'd even be cool if you made 1 bot but they connected very weakly (if at all) so they could break apart but 1 half would be just components and for show as such.

A quick update, straight after Iron Awe 2.1 (http://i57.tinypic.com/2ivzkee.jpg (http://i57.tinypic.com/2ivzkee.jpg)) I started cracking on with St Agro thinking it would be easy... it bloody wasnt!


I'm quite chuffed with it now. I might darken the flipper components so they stand out more, then get the TGA texture for the wheel spokes to work but other than that its finished.

Yush.

I absoloutely love it! Does it have enough power to chuck the others out of the arena like in the show?

Does it fall onto it's back when it fires the flippers?
Natster,
Hmm... sorta. Like it was with the real thing, rarely. It depends on the shape of the robot and the run up to the wall. I've used my Iron Awe 7 full bar hinge bursts on it and for some reason it has the power of a crappy tminus snapper, it should be throwing them into the ceiling if anything!

Kurt,
Depends on what mood its in! in short yes but only occasionally. definitely if you reverse while firing the flippers.


So yes, it can flip robots out of the arena, flip itself onto its back and also can get destroyed and "disc'd" out of the arena by X-terminator!

Post by: HereticBlue on June 04, 2014, 01:46:15 PM
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.

(http://i62.tinypic.com/6islly.jpg)

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

The subscribers list I'll be starting when the pack is released and it will have a link included in the download.

The arena in the background is The tabletop V2 with the flame jet in the centre.

I'm quite proud of it, I think these four are by far the best I've made.

Kurt, no idea what stratos is... Id love a Lancia Stratos if your offering.  :approve:

Thanks Click, much appreciated.  ;) Looking forward to helping out with DSL, since I started this pack I've always felt like it was necessary to return the favour as without DSL, particularly the last beta, this pack wouldn't be happening!  :thumbup

I think there's something wrong. I keep throwing money at the screen, but nothing's happening.

In all seriousness, brilliant job with M2 there. How well does it self-right?

Ahh it would be nice to get money from this, mind I'd probably do enough reps to make you all bankrupt!  :evilsmile: M2 is brilliant at self righting, it either rolls back onto its wheels or flops from its back with one fire of the flipper... very entertaining to watch!

2 Robots that would be interesting to see would be Sir Chromalot from extreme 2 and Mousetrap (From any series)

Its funny you should mention the former as I started cracking on with it after I finished M2 in dedication to Steve Merrill as he past away back in 2011, for the very same reason I will be doing Run Away in dedication to Aaron Joerger (2013) and redoing Pussycat for both David Gribble (2001) & Alan Gribble. (2013) So this is the first of those 3.

Thanks lads, all comments are much appreciated! It is quite fun to fight, very easy to flip around with a disc but a nightmare to get out of the arena due to its bodyshape.

Nice work on Sir Chomalot. Just out of curiosity, what alterations are you going to make to Pussycat?

Well Originally I intended to make my own as the shape of the DSL's and Wham's never seemed right to me, but In the end I gave up and I fixed Whams up by throwing on its series 5 skin and adding a a collision so it doesn't get stuck standing up and has a lower ground clearence. I'll also make an Extreme 2 skin (black & yellow) for those who like a change.

I've also done some tweaking to Tricerabot, it now has the right sized wheel guards and is now invertable.

Damn close there 5 votes for Run Away and 6 for Razer, so I deicded to crack on with both. Run Aways frame is absolutely lush, i love it but you cant see it from 'photographic' angles sadly, I'll post more pictures soon.

As for Razer well, its damn diffcult. I dont even know if it will export because there is so much going on in the wedge alone! In the picture Below I have thrown in a photgraph of my pullback model and some quick cylinders to resemble wheels to give me some idea of what it will look like when finished.

aren`t you going to do both anyway?

Cheers lads, I'll post pictures up of the finished razer in a couple of hours.


Natster, there isn't really a point in a poll. Whams pack needs finishing, that's obvious and I am finishing it but I do need help. If people do want to help then you should post here or inbox me but what I need comes in similar form of an application, If people don't have the following skills then they can't help.


What I am doing are the UI skins, replicas and additional realistic components for people to use, such as splinters axe head and Toon Army 2's flipper ect.

Thyrus has offered to help me out with AI'ing but he might need help at some point.

I need people who can do the following:
#Create/modify arenas
#Create and reorganising events
#Bot Files Editing (BFE)
#Can change the bot lab test arena to something like the Robot Wars arena
#Add arena lighting
#create new boarders for paint job section of the botlab


So yea There really isn't anything else you can help with to but with the issues mentioned above, I need as much help as I can possibly get.

Right, ignoring Jaydee99's misunderstood, yet not very well said sarcasm...



Thank you everyone! I'm chuffed to bits with how it came out and I'm glad you all feel the same.  :approve:

Gazea2, your a life saver, I'll be messaging you shortly. Cheers.

Impossible343, the wings do indeed open but they have no effect on self righting as the servos are too weak. Its only really for show boating to be honest! The robot itself however will always land on its feet... unless flipped onto the beak or out of the arena which, combined with an extremely low ground clearance and damaging claw makes Razer almost unbeatable.




Right, just a couple of pictures of Razer and what makes it the best clawed robot created for/in the game.

#The robot itself is reasonably in scale, not too small that the motors and wheels don't fit and nowhere near being too large. The robot itself is around the scale size as Tornado and Pussycat if not smaller, making game-play feel more realistic.

#When the crusher is used, the tip will always seem to penetrate the opponent making the claw feel more like its doing its purpose.

#The claw unlike others can actually hook onto opponents shells or between extenders so with a bit of careful driving, you can dump them anywhere you please.  ;)

Looks defiantly amazing! However, if I were to be picky, the holes look odd... That may be me, though.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components
Post by: HereticBlue on June 18, 2014, 08:45:26 AM
Thanks lads, Its an absolute joy to use... which admittedly is unique for a clawed robot on RA2.

Thyrus, didnt know I had done that many! looks like the pack will be pretty damn big. What is the largest amount of teams someone has crammed into an AI pack?

UnknownR, I did think the same thing but every reference I've went off seems to have angled holes anyway at least before Razer had its make over and the wings were replaced.

Everyone else, Well If you all prefer Mighty Mouse then I'll guess I will have to have another crack at it. ;)

In other news, Tornado has had an upgrade. It has a better collision, lower ground clearence and no more bouncing around. Another addition is a new wedge to replace the first component I successfully exported with a skin. It now has the wall behind the scoop and the unique spikes to prevent robots from driving over the top so it is very competitive and to top it off, the frame and sides have been weathered so it actually looks like its been through a few battles. I might make an anti crusher frame for people to add by choice but it really depends if.. well. If I can be bothered frankly!  :p

(http://i60.tinypic.com/fa64qt.jpg)

Next up: Mighty Mouse, TAN, Tsunami, Spawn Again, Napalm, Ming Dynasty and Barberous 2-n-a-bit in no particular order then I'm throwing in the towel... until I kickstart the Subcribers DLC.  ;)


EDIT: forgot to answer, No the claw doesn't cause OTT damage but if it crushes your chassis then you'll last about 10 seconds. The pack is meant to be quite difficult and your robots will have opponents that they will not stand a chance against but that's the idea so A: its like the actual competition and B: it makes you plan tactics prior to the fight so you use your brain more rather than wiggling  your controller nobs around aimlessly.... Good luck!  :thumbup

I like the idea of having unique weapons in the pack and I'll be making their Robogeddon product as a starter robot for people to either practice with or modify so you can make Zorro if you'd like. This should also help give them more business.

Awesome redo on Tornado! I don't know what it is, but it just looks awesome.

I was just wondering HB, will you be adding components that we can mess around with? Like different coloured extenders, panels, new burst motors, drive motors
because if we could have more parts to mess around with, we could make much coller looking IRL designs as well, I was just wondering.

Of course.  ;) I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what you all do with the new burst motors and flipper panels/arms and armour.

Maybe but the servo wont have the power to lift up the frame.

130 teams? 390 robots in total? Sod off.  :p Yes it would be nice but I would have to require no life at all to do that!  :facepalm: Lets see how many I do pull off though!

Some of the bots on that list excite me, namely Napalm. I want to see how many pieces you can break it into XD

Nope, no Clown... not that I know of anyway!
Ahh I see you already have an idea of what I'll be doing with Napalm. ;) rightfully I should put every panel of a hinge so it all wobbles as it limps across the arena. I will make all the panels individual so you can break them off separately to reveal the barely modified motorised wheelchair!

When you say 'subscribers DLC', are we talking PayPal donations? Because I will subscribe the crap out of this.

You know how bloody tempting that is now that so many of you have mentioned it? :P Once I make a few arenas (to a high standard of course) then I might charge 20p a pop on in the DLC so added together it will be like youve all bought me a pint!  :beer:

Just also want to say that I applaud you for keeping the project smooth and posting at a good rate. You have not let us down or made us wait months between updates so I thank you for that.

Thanks mate, that means a lot actaully. Glad you appreciate me not buggering off! P.s Check your rep.  :thumbup

Nice update on Tornado. I feel Zorro could be cool one to make. Don't know why, but I kinda like the bot for some reason.

Cheers lad. Yeah Zorro is mint, probably because its a British take on take on SOW and a Spinner like that is just what the competition had really needed.

I think Ming Dienasty is an interesting choice, look forward to seeing it and trying it out. :)

Same! we best have a look then shall we? ;)


I couldnt take a decent photo in the botlab, It looks miles better in the arena. Causes a damn good amount of damage if the drill gets to whirr away and the bugger selfrights!

Anyways man even though I don't like Ming Dienasty and it looks top-notch quality.

Honestly its stuff like this that makes me wonder why places like IGN and Gamespot still haven't noticed us. We should make all make one profile together and try to get them to notice this place.

Are going to release the pack with all the replicas shown (and the ones you're planning/working on) and then release new replicas as the subscriber DLC?

Great replicas by the way!
Title: Re: Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components
Post by: HereticBlue on June 20, 2014, 06:16:21 AM
Yea the Subscribers DLC will have new robots I'll be making because obviously I'm not going to quit making components after I release the pack. I'll be leaving blank Teams in the AI for the new stuff to be shoved into over time.

Why is everyone scared of 20p per arena? Would it make you all feel better if it went to charity or went on the add funds to future Robot Wars Live events?  :thumbup

Yeah there will be a good few new components. I'm going to be doing a flipper pack that will consist Iron Awe 7's, Rippers, Toon Raider's, Iron Awe 5's and Merlin's flippers without the fancy skins so people can build up modern, prototypical flippers.


A slight update, Hypnodisc now has its sloped body, angled disc, new wheels, new spikes (extras available in a range of sizes) and its Series 4/5 teeth.

I'm personally not a fan of having a paid DLC for an 11 year old game. At the current exchange rate 20p is roughly 34 cents in the US so its definitely affordable but many of the people that play RA2 have no way of paying. It could also be problematic down the line if more people started requiring payments. One of the reasons why RA2 has lasted so long is because new mods are being released all the time at no additional fee. If you think about it, people aren't even paying for the game anymore so its unlikely that you would make much of a profit. IMO, a donate button would probably work just as well and it wouldn't be as restrictive.

Nice Hypno-Disc. Looks more accurate, even if I felt Wham's was pretty spot on.

On the topic of donations and paid DLC, would you take commisions? I know you're already planning a subscriber DLC thing, but what if someone were to give you a bit of money to do a certain replica or arena? While I agree with Trovaner about the "paid content for an old game" thing, I do like your work and don't think the idea of making 3d models for a small fee is that farfetched. Just look at the train simulator community.

That is a very fair point now you mention it. It is a shame because those of us who devote our free time and who put a massive amount of effort to get every down down to a tee don't get anything in return other than a few personalised nitpicks and a few nice comments. What some of the lads do is just incredible and I think it's because no-one is ever really going to get paid that in time influences people to give up altogether. I think your right anyway, the RA2 is populated by members about a decade younger than us and they don't have access to things like PayPal. Donations seems like a very good idea though.

Cheers mate, I did feel the same about Whams, although it think it was probably the thrill of how much it looked more accurate in contrast to the DSL version.

It's funny you should mention train simulation, because on a similar note, I picked all this up by co-running a 3D printing and brass etching model company and I do get highly paid commissions quite often... Mind my 3D printing work involves a lot more detail and very precise measurements in comparison to this.

Regarding taking commission to make replicas, components and arenas,that sounds like a good idea! I'd be up for doing it definitely but I would be worried incase I get too much to work on. I've had to bring in two extra 3D modellers to join our business as myself and the other lad, Steve have just been swamped.

What I am suprised by is that no-one has asked me (or anyone actually) on here about 3D printing a working replica model for them to use with their RW Figures.





In other news I've been fiddling around the combat arena 3ds model and I can honestly say that I haven't a clue how it all works and how to put a arena together myself. But on a side note I will start making an attempt with the Roaming Robots/RW live arena using my brief understanding of how the parts of the arena are separated. From there I will plea for help... Again!


Edit: just came across this album from 2003. The photos were taken at the robot wars display event in the Metro Centre at Gateshead, a 7 minute drive from mine and one of the two robot wars events I attended.  :bigsmile: I'm chuffed I've found more pictures, I remembered Firestorm and Sir Chromalot looking a state but I couldn't remember it looking that bad. I was given a small shard of firestorm that was broken off and I kept it safe in a box for just two years or so before my mam threw it out... The b****. Still, I have a photo of my 12 year old self with Killalot but I'm not showing anyone that.  :p

There's no doubt the USA and Netherlands are going to be represented, but I think it'd be a bit of a shame to leave out robots like Phillipa 2 (Belgian, 2nd place in both European championship and 2nd Dutch series) or Snake Bite (possibly the only Swiss robot to enter a Robot Wars competition).

Jesus, you should see what I've actually got planned. I do intend to do Phillipa at some point but I know it will be a lot of work. Snake bite looked and was absolutely bollocks and frankly there's enough crushers and flippers in the pack as it is.

I know you accidentally typed Sewer Snake at first... funnily enough, that & Luzifer will be subs DLC.

I will be making all robots who making British champions since the show ended, such as Big Nipper, Iron Awe 5, Turbulence, Kronic, Ripper, Eruption and possibly a more modern Terrorhurtz.

Right, 5.06am I started this at around 1pm yesterday, my head is absolutely done in. My ash tray is full, I'm out of pints, I'm damn pleased that I've got this week off work. The hardest part to make this was making all the parts line up properly and scale them decently. It's a little bit big but after 4 attempts, I'm not changing it any morel it will still be smaller than xterminator and I think that t's how they compare what your all really concerned about.

Finally a German Robot has made the pack and I am back where it all began... With Tsunami.

if i could donate i would but extenuating circumstances like i dont want to be in debt before i go to grad school brewsky, i'll support this in any other way tho because you're doing this by the goodness of your heart and so i PERSONALLY dont feel entitled to having this pack made, i'm just glad to see that it's being done

THAT BEING SAID it would be nice to have everything you got being given out for free, but you dont have to do that and if you didnt i could understand why

I noticed it said Sage was the one who made the RAW 2 arena, I do believe it was Madiaba who modded the tabletop arena to make the RAW 2 arena, not Sage. I could be wrong however.

The website has been heavily updated, just needs the 'about' page written, then when the pack is released... a download page.

Nah the pack is free, I'm just accepting donations to keep it going and extra services mentioned on my site in case people want custom components or something 3D printed. Oh go on, you might as well download it when its released. ;) you may never know what your missing out on. ;)

Will the house robots ever make an entrance into this? I'd love to see a proper Shunt.
They won't be in the arena as hazards but I am thinking about making Shunt, Sgt Bash, Dead Metal, Goliath, Hammerhead (concept art) and I'm thinking about doing a competition for someone to design a Unique robot and I'll include it with the others so players can fight them in a similar way to how you can fight 'bosses' in other games. I will make them stupidly hard to defeat though... so watch out!   :rage

Thanks lads, I've corrected the information on the website. If the three of you don't want the arena in the pack then just say, you's did make it after all!
And Thanks Trov, always much appreciated to get a compliment from the lad who started this all off.


I could actually do with a hand of you if possible if you have time mate. I've made the Roaming Robots/Robot Wars Live arena, still needs the collisions and whatever makes the flip out zone and pit eliminate robots sorted, but if you could help me get this working then I'd really appreciate it, might throw in a bit of cash if you want.


Oh by the way lads, if your wondering what the round thing in the arena is, its Mauler. I needed something for an idea of scale.

Cheers mate, glad you like how everything is coming along.
the donations have nothing to do with being hired for 3D printing work or custom components, its just in case people feel myself and whoever is helping at the time deserves it, plus it will kick us up the arse to make more stuff.

If anyone wants to see the 3D Printing work I've done for our modelling company then search 'Narrow Planet' on google... just be prepared to be bombarded with trains!

Hah, thanks man. ;) The arena is a bit small I think but obviously I cant change that... I'm an accuracy nut! I think I'll prefer the Combots/Robogames arena when I make it because robots like Storm can have a good run up.  :evilsmile:

The RW arena upgrade is the one I was on about
And Minor Tom, not Major :P it's Plazmic Inferno's featherweight and pride and joy. And Martymidget drove it in a battle. And he drove it into Tinyhurtz who cut up the battery. And then hit the ceiling when it got pushed onto the floor flipper.
Marty isn't allowed to drive Minor Tom anymore.

It is really nice of you to offer but I'm fine with offering my services for free.

I'll need to hear more information if you'd like assistance with the collisions but I think I have enough information to fix your other issue. To eliminate bots that are OOTA or in the pit, just add this under the Tick method:
Code: [Select]
        for each in self.players:
            if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -2:
                plus.eliminatePlayer(each)
Then assuming self.players has been assigned, you just need to fine tune the -2 so that it is some Y value between the combat floor and the lower floor (where they sit when they are defeated).

Thanks Trov. :) setting up the elimination zones seems simple enough, assuming thats organised in the .py. The first major hurdle I need to get over is understand how to create the arena's GMF, I've looked at how others are laid out and I'm absolutely baffled by it all to be honest. I don't suppose anyone has made a tutorial on the subject before?


Right, rather than take the blind dive in trying to get the arena into the game, I decided to prepare another while I was waiting be be taught. This, like the Robot Wars Live arena, the Robots Live is essential in my opinion as it is the arena that is used for the UK heavyweight championships. It is smaller than the RWL arena but the CPZ is quite nice and unique.

They don't really bounce in real life.
For everyone who doesn't know, they were put in place because so many robots were being flipped OOTA so they wanted to give robots a second chance which I personally think is stupid because the TV robot wars NEVER did that. And yes, this now is officially Robot Wars because LLC (IIRC they were behind the televised Robot Wars) merged with the company behind Roaming Robots so it's now officially robot wars.

Oh god. You lot been sniffing something?

Jaydee, no, Roaming Robots bought the rights (or what was left of them) for Robot Wars, there's no company merging going on.

Marty, nope no MinorToms for you.  :yaya) everyone would pit it against my newest replica and it with two of my custom bursts inside, it can throw heavyweights off the roof, never mind featherweights!

herrowface69, either Trov or Click are going to have to teach me how to export the arenas by most likely doing the first themselves, I don't want to put the pressure of them of making the walls hinged so they seem elasticated, otherwise we probably would.

And they're cable wires (says the person who hasn't been to an event in over a decade but who is an engineer remember.)



Right, Don't get too excited, but I felt that since im making the modern arenas, this was essential being my favourite robot still on the live circuit, always had faith in the Iron Awe team and they pulled off 2 British championship wins and bagged several side event trophies.

The reason why you can see Iron Awe 5 & 6 in the arenas is because they're just the 3D models but it does give you some idea what it will look like.

Awesome IA5 and IA6 reps. I think a modern day Ripper replica would make a good opponent for it (as it does IRL) in game.

Is Iron Awe 6 significantly more powerful? I remember that it was a lot more powerful IRL.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 Massacre
Post by: HereticBlue on July 02, 2014, 09:26:54 AM
The flipper itself on Iron Awe is capable of throwing other robots weighing around 1000kg about a scale 2 meters across and/or 7ft high at best. I don't intend on releasing Iron Awe 6 as I cannot seem to make the skin for the rear panel behave itself.

I do feel that Big Nipper would be a necessary addition for this pack but before I can do this, I need to find someone skilled in 'Bot File Editing' to create a low profile chassis that can be hidden inside what there is the robots shell.

At this moment in time, I don't know what is actually happening with Mauler, I cannot get the attachment point for the top disc central with the collision so as hard as I might try, there will be a very pronounced (and irritating) off balance wobble to the robot when the weapon is functioning.


In other new, I have gotten in contact with John Findlay and we are discussing the possibility of making this pack 'Official' and obtaining permission to recreate the robots still fighting today. So if all is successful, you can start throwing your hats in the air!

I've also re-skinned Iron Awe 5 as I found that the skin was too clean, and made it look unrealistic.

Hey as far as I'm concerned, HB is doing this for free, he can choose what goes in, it may be worth not harassing him ;p

Exactly, ;) To be honest, I'll have too many heavyweights to do. When John finalizes his answer, I could be making all of the robots that have competed in the last 5 years, ontop of the other classic replicas that I would like to do, and the house robots.

Mind, like I said, I do offer the custom components and replica service so if you's want your featherweights in the pack then you can always pay some cash towards it.



Anyway, does anyone recognise this arena? All modernized with the new Robot Wars banner and some of the scrap gone so the place actually looks like its still in business. :)

Sao Paulo Scrapyard
(http://i57.tinypic.com/i2vaew.jpg)

It has a flip out zone where the irritating car door once was, (Why Not?) the crusher/pit, CPZ starting points and should eventually (if I learn how to sort all this out) Have flame throwers and electrocuting zones, probably around the drain.



If anyone can get me the textures for any of the other arenas then I'll have a bash, or make a hybrid.

Welcome back, Wham! Though this news is exciting, I feel sad for some reason. I can't exactly describe it. But, HB will make something out of this world (if he hasn't already).

Possibly because spinners are too unsafe to run nowadays and the team still wanted to compete?

Yes... I get that but they could've kept it intact and built Lucifer from scratch. They didn't have to use Black Hole to compete but keep it to play around with.

If it's a new release it's polite to ask, I think, like I did with Wham's arena for RW2005.
RR arena looks great, very accurate :)
...Now all we need is a Minor Tom replica to throw into the ceiling. Cough Marty Cough.

Major Tom!?!? Do I have to? :P

FYI I was intending to put Minor Tom in DSL3.  If you want to help me out, that's one bot you could make that I would for sure need.  You could use it in your pack too, though it would be kind of odd if it was the only featherweight...

I do feel that Big Nipper would be a necessary addition for this pack but before I can do this, I need to find someone skilled in 'Bot File Editing' to create a low profile chassis that can be hidden inside what there is the robots shell.
Sure, I can do that for you.  You should know that if you're using BFE'd chassises, you can only play the game on low quality, and that drawing on ht chassis itself will be night impossible.

I've used BFE'd chassis' on high quality before. Aren't you thinking of another glitch that I remember can only be used on low quality but there was a trick to make it high quality?

Yeah the Trov glitch is what you're thinking of. You can BFE chassis height and still have it work in high quality.

Post by: HereticBlue on July 07, 2014, 09:42:35 AM
Jesus, quite a few replies.

Wham, well I've already replied to you.  ;)

Camaro Kid, Yes Black Hole was sourced for the parts used to build Black Hole 2 which was then sold and is now Luzifer. It is a shame but these things happen. You wouldn't believe how many robots from the old shows have actually been scrapped. I'm pretty sure Beast of Bodmin has been scrapped too.

TheUnknownRobotics & Jaydee, 13 Blacks shell with the discs, wheels bearings and scrimech still knocks around on display at live events.

Clickbeetle, Sounds interesting, I think can work something out. I have sent you a PM, I hope you take what I have said into consideration.



Right, as most of you will have noticed, Wham has given me everything he has been working on for the AI pack. So with his work tying in with mine, we are now closer to getting this pack released.

I have started bringing the unfinished robots to life, starting with Lightning, adding a few details along the way, like the wedge blades and flipper hump and using Whams shell of Dantomkia, I've done a complete revamp of the robot, lets see if anyone can see the visual improvements.

(http://i57.tinypic.com/2pqkwls.jpg)

(http://i58.tinypic.com/vsclqa.jpg)

I'm now awaiting final confirmation from John Findlay about publicising the pack, if everything works out, this Mod will bring more people into the RA2 community and with hope, this might become as popular, maybe more than DSL.

The way how the textures work on the Dantomkia model make it very difficult to skin, anyone who can pull of a better skin please do, I hated it!

Small update, I've done Tanto then a little more collab work with Wham to give you a new Matilda and a far more detailed Diotoir.

Oh and a better picture of Lightning.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: HereticBlue on July 10, 2014, 08:54:10 PM
Thanks lads, Diotoir is as nutty as always and the RW TV series house robots I'll be doing will most likely be modelled on their original guise, (eg series 1-2) hence why Matilda has the chainsaw.

Camaro Kid, ahh right, everyone on this forum is so bonkers about featherweights I thought that was what you were referring to. I was thinking about doing the HW DTK but if I'm honest, I don't really see any purpose for it, especially when I've already done Titan and skinning Dantomkia's shell is an absolute arse. But if it is well sought after then I can always have a crack at it.

Anyway, with a massive thanks to Vertigo contributing and taking photographs of his robot, the current UK champion... Eruption now joins the pack.
Hopefully I will be able to get the lights working at a later date.

You likely have me to thank for that  ;)

I just recently PM'd Vertigo about putting Explosion and Eruption in DSL, and he sent me those pictures.  I meant to send them on to you to see if you could work on them while I did some US replicas.  Looks like Vertigo went ahead and took the initiative!  Good thing I hadn't started working on them myself yet.

I have no idea how you work so fast.  That was just this Sunday that Vertigo sent the pictures.  I would never guess it was made so quickly by looking at it, though.  It looks fantastic.

If you don't mind, can you send me Eruption?  I don't know exactly which UK replicas will be included in DSL, but I know that will be one of them, as it was built by a GTM member.

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.

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.

Post by: Resetti's Replicas on July 11, 2014, 06:53:29 PM
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.

(http://i62.tinypic.com/6islly.jpg)

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"

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.

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.

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:

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

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. :mrgreen:

Words cannot describe how hyped and excited I am for this pack to be finished and released. It's practically a new game, with graphics this jaw-droppingly amazing.

If you could change the UI and it's positioning, I'd argue that it was a new game, the same way I'd argue that DSL is a different game to Stock.

That being said, if you -can- get around to it (doubt you can because of the work you're doing here), could you perhaps add some components so people can make their own IRL-looking bots?

If not, perfectly understandable.

Any news on a beta? Everyone's so hyped...

Applaud as always my friend.

Just want to ask a couple of questions out of curiosity.

1. Why do you need teams permission if they want their bots in the pack?

2. If you want to get this noticed better shouldn't you or better yet the whole community try and get this promoted on big gaming websites like IGN, Gamespot etc. through any means?

3. Have you asked John Findlay if he can get try and get this featured on the main RW website?

4. How are you sorting out the teams?

5. Are you going to change the the design of the Menus and positioning?

Sorry for the amount of questions, I was born curious.  :smile:

Guys, I will restate, HB is very busy, please stop asking so many questions. Would you rather he spend ages answering all your questions, or spend that time CREATING the pack you're awaiting? I'm sure most of the things you ask have come across his mind, but equally aren't things you urgently need to know. Just remember.

Thanks lads!

just out of curiousity, will you be doing other house robots or is matilda the only one?

I will be having a bash at the house robots that haven't been made. But for the Mods release I will be making Sgt Bash and Major Damage to make up the house robots that have make an appearance in what is now the Robot Wars live arena. I would have liked to make Goliath but it was made by team Mad for Robots Live, NOT Robot Wars so it is a no go.

will Spitfire be AI'd because Spitfire is now a Roaming Robots competitor?

Jaydee, do you not think that you've asked a bit of silly question considering my reply to making DTK in the other page?

Yeah, it does look like a totally new game.

If you could change the UI and it's positioning, I'd argue that it was a new game, the same way I'd argue that DSL is a different game to Stock.

I don't know if I can change the UI, that would be an achievement in itself! I would like to try and upgrade the graphics engine thing to make the game perform better if anything.

Yes don't worry I've started making a selection of new weapons such as realistic flippers, wedges, axes, teeth, for people to make realistic robots. They go quite nicely with the DSL parts, I've also improved quite a few of the motors and thrown in a couple of new bursts (such as the the skirt Hinge used to power Iron Awe's flipper if anyone's noticed) I just need to sort out armour panelling and a a selection of realistic weapons for beetle weight and featherweight competitions.

Born curious? Sounds like the the sort of curious who looks through peoples wardrobes to find a doorway to Narnia. ;)

1. I'm getting Team's permission from those who I want in the pack/from those who have never played the game, like Team Mouse and Beast. Once the teams comply I do have to ask them if they can take photographs of the armour panelling for the mapping, which can be difficult for them but it is something that is needed.

2. When it literally does look like a new game, I'll let someone on here do it. I barely have the time as it is to make the bits and bobs anymore! Mind I'm not top sure if they would be particularly bothered with an updated remote control robot fighting game from 2003!

3. I've already spoken to John Findlay, I thought everyone on the forum knew. That's why I added 'official' in the topic name and revamped the website. We've been talking quite a bit through email and we've just added each other on Facebook so we're getting on well.

4. Sorting out the Teams? How do you mean? Thyrus do you want to answer this one?

5. I would love to but at the moment it's not a priority.



This is my latest work, awaiting one last photograph from the team. Anyone know which robot this is?

I'll need a couple more people to help if they want as in someone who is skilled in trying to get noticed, has good building skills in Stock or DSL and has been on here for at least a couple of months. I have quite a lot of free time until the start of August and in need of something to do. If you're up for this PM me on here. I need about 3/4 volunteers.

Kurt, I haven't added the bungee cords yet. Because of the angle of the flipper I couldn't work out a way of stopping it from popping out through the bottom of the chassis when the flipper is down.

Looks really nice, loving the detail on the insides by the way

Cheers Nat, I wasn't too happy with it to be honest, I've changed it around since I took the picture and it looks a bit better with the gas bottle underneath the flipper hinge.

This is going to be one of the most highly anticipated things of recent GTM times. Other than DSL 3 but yeah. Good job HB, everything looks glorious so far.
Other than DSL 3 but yeah.
I agree with Camaro Kid, this has got way more hype than DSL3.
these should be used as some of the replicas in dsl3
Some of the replicas here are being used in DSL3. Check the original post.

Thanks lads, I really appreciate the enthusiasm. The Mod wouldn't be possible without DSL if I'm honest, it's going to be in a similar style as DSL when released so I guess it could be said that the mod is a RW DSL. As Yugtom said if you check the first post, a couple of the robots say in writing alongside their pictures that they will be in DSL. There could be more to come too!


Here's another Replica for the pack made through the contact made with the Mouse Team. (Trevor)

It's up to you all if you want the ears attached though. And yes the bungee and cylinder are visible when the flipper is open. I hope you will all enjoy knocking the wheels of this. :P

This will be replacing the Might Mouse that I have been working on, hope you lads aren't too disappointed about this.

Sorry lads, I'm doing this post on the way to the hospital to see the new nephew so I'll reply later on, possibly tonight or tomorrow.

I came across an advert while uploading the image that read, 'love doesn't always mean pleasure, buy our dolls' and you can probably guess what was in the picture... Isn't the internet such a wonderful place?  :facepalm:

Cheers mate and Thanks for the luck, but to be honest I've already got three other nieces! One of which is two days older than me so technically I've been an uncle since the second I was born!

I am indeed available for paid commissions but not quite yet. I've still got to make Tommy his Chin-Killa scoop which to be honest is a five minute job in 3DS but a ten minute job with GMF coding, txt files and component folder faffing so I've been a bit selfish and putting it off.  :rage

At first glance I thought that was the actual robot, not kidding.
How the hell can the game handle that?

I don't know to be honest, there is quite a lot of detail inside and at the rear. The game itself can handle quite a bit but the GMF compiler can't so I usually have to delete a few details to export components but with Meggamouse, I didn't!


This is something I started quite a while ago, mainly because its the only Cassius that competed in live events where as the others were just used for display purposes. I got home about an hour ago and decided to detail the interior a little bit.

What do you think lads?

Post by: HereticBlue on July 28, 2014, 05:21:30 PM

Mystic2000, Wham started it off and the first replicas that were released in his BETA are well... his! but the majority of the robots that will be in the pack now are all my doing, I've made almost 50 now so you can expect the Mod to be very large!

Yes, there will be new components such as axe heads, flippers, wedges, scoops, batteries, and armour.



Here is something I've knocked up very quickly, Kronic.

However, if he does return, and all is good in the hood, completely ignore this message. I wish you the best with looking after your girl and all, but if you don't return, I'll be the first to put your head on the chopping block.

dude he's a nice guy and if there's really someone on the forum, especially like him, who's going to lie about a sick girlfriend just to get our sympathy then he wouldn't be here. i trust heretic and he needs to put his personal life before some ra2 mod because he knows what's important and judging by your comment, you don't.

This literally has to be one of the dumbest things I have read in a while. Why would someone work on a mod like this for months just so they could make up a lie and disappear? Plus he never said he was going to leave, he just said progress on the mod was on hold since his girlfriend was in the hospital. You seem to fail to acknowledge the fact that he just got word that she was in the hospital and therefore likely has no clue himself as to when he would be able to work on it again.

I'm betting this is gonna be a bait and switch. Now, watch as he never posts again and the entire project gets forgotten about in about a year. Might sound dickish, but having no betas and then all of a sudden he has to leave, with no mention of when he'll come back? Sounds a little fishy to me.



This should really be common sense but you do know that to 99% of people that reality always come before playing/modding/hosting a tournament or using internet in general? He said the mod was on hold because of a major problem. For all we know his girlfriend could have a life-threatening illness and if he told us how would you feel? In fact how would you feel if you were in his situation? Again he could be in emotional pain (correct me if that's a real thing or not) and he's panicking about it for all we know. The point is that was an idiotic comment so if you want to go cry or winge about having to wait a bit longer for the next bit of news then go do it off the forum.

Thank you for the responses everyone, I didn't expect to get any to be honest. My lass is staying at her parents now, she's off work. She had a seizure on Thursday morning, dropped on the floor in the process and smashed her teeth out and fractured her jaw.

She's out of hospital and recovering well and yesterday she got fillings put in to rebuild what was lost in her two front teeth but there's still teeth that need to be replaced with denture type things. I've left her in her mothers care last night so I can go back to work, but I'm not at work... I don't feel right going back yet when she's in a state.

 She's had two seizures before two years ago and both were in my care, thankfully she got a soft landing but she was still in a bad state, this time she fell on a wooden floor and should you know the story by now.

In case people don't know, seizures can kill someone from how or where they fall or the seizure itself can be so prolonged it can caused permanent brain damage, simply getting a migraine can be a trigger. She can't drink wine anymore and it's unsafe for her to fly after a certain amount of time and she can't drive anymore. So her mam and me will have to drive her around.


FOTEPX, well done for being petty and judgemental and not reading the post I left, or the other I have posted on the forum. You've collectively made yourself look like an ass.
Anyway I can't really back out now when I'm working on something under the Official Robot Wars Franchise now can I?


Right...
Well, I couldn't sleep last night considering what's been happening so I knocked this up. Also I realise I've never given you all an idea of how the graphics are being improved. The problem is that the arenas don't quite look as good as the robots.

I just want to say this right now but if there ever is a day in which this gets released on consoles or Vita/3DS as an indie-game I would cry of happiness. If you're looking for solutions then maybe try changing the lighting effects on the arenas or something like that.

Anyways I'm happy for you that your lass is okay, I know and seen people in those "states" in my last secondary school. One kid I know who has a trauma-related disability part of which was caused by seeing his father stab his mother at the age of 4 sometimes went into that state (he was 16 when was in an extremely bad state). One day in the middle of Maths class he went into an unconscious-like state for a minute then he kicked out of it and randomly started attacking people. It took two teachers and three classroom assistants to pin him down. Haven't seen him since that day.

Just felt the need to tell that story.

Lasty good replica like always.

Welcome back. Good to hear that your girlfriend is fine. It sucks to here that she suffers from seizures which is never a good thing. On a more positive note I'd like to say that Saint looks amazing. The arena is a nice reskin.

It's good to see you back mate.

As always, amazing replica

As for FOTEPX, some people nowadays are just heartless and think they can say what they want, when they want and how they want. I see it all the time at school, and I get bullied quite a lot, so it was nice to come to this forum and find that there were a load of geeks about robotical stuff like me who were kind (most of the time)and quirky. But it annoys me to find another person amongst the crowd who thinks that they can get away with anything they say, and I'd like to do something about it.
And yet again, my english has probably failed me in explaining things  :rage :rage

But, in short, we've got your back, and its great to hear your girlfriends okay  :smile:

Well since I don't really hold grudges, aye its fine mate, no bother. I guess its understandable given other peoples reputation and the common occurrence of the younger members lying through their teeth for any reason but remember I am a heavy smoking adult with 3 nieces and a nephew who has his own place and a full time job and a 3D printing business on the side so I'd more likely be drunk than lying. Mind saying that, my lass cant drink any-more so I doubt I will be either. But yes, All is forgiven everyone's an arse at times. Nee bovva.  ;)

I'm a git when I'm stressed as well mate, I started on someone in ASDA the other day because it was packed and I was in a hurry(ish).
I'm back at work tomorrow so I'll be more stressed most likely. Woop.


Oh yeah, thanks again for the sympathy, my lass and me really appreciate it.  :thumbup Life goes on though doesn't it? I'm just grateful she didn't have a worse fall.

Small update, to keep my mind occupied I've been working on the Saint Team's other Heavyweight, Cherub.

Bloody hell, few replies, and an argument? Thanks for the positive replies guys, pleased you like it.

Jaydee, Biggs, requests are pointless, suggestions are alright, the best thing people could do when someone suggests a robot is deliver their opinion on it and say whether they think it should be included or not. So lads, as Jaydee suggested would KaPow be a good robot to make or do you think after the addition of Dystopia, Ripper and Manta we would have enough flippers?

Sonny, Cherub works a dream. It's so fun to use, the forks can turn itself over and right it despite their small size and being powered by a servo. Saint again works like the real thing and is fun to use but for the sword to act like the prototype, the wheels have virtually no grip whatsoever.

This is Gabriel, named after the teams short lived featherweight. Running with the teams somewhat religiously named robots. Photograph taken by The team.

This was about 3 hours work of taking my modded version of Whams Dantomkia apart and piecing it back together with additional bits and bobs and I can honestly say that I am bitterly disappointed. It's DTK As suggested about fifteen pages ago. Personally I've given up but if you all think it's good enough then I'll include it.

Nah only two Dantomkia's, Whams original isn't going to be in the pack just the one I modded and Possibly DTK if people want it included.

Thor
Kan-Opener
Big Nipper
Ewe 3
Noisy Cricket.

You might not do them but just wanted to suggest them because seeing's how this is an official Robot Wars product, fans like me would expect them in the mod. I'm not getting angry at anyone so sorry if this comes across that way. But still, please include DTK. It's fabulous!

Jaydee your suggestions are looking more and more like requests and demands every time I see them. Tone it down. I'm sure HB has a good grasp on the current scene.

Seriously, it wasn't a request. To plazmic inferno's point, maybe not noisy cricket, but ewe 3 is the teams newest incarnation. It been to quite a few events.

Hey jaydee99 and freeziez if your going to argue about petty things can you do it in your own chat please like in a IM or PM thank you,  I have been asked by HB to help him with the pack like making arenas, Robots etc but also to keep the page of the form free from drama so will you respect that.

Also HB will not be posting any updates until after the northan tour of Robot Wars

Thank you

Moved post to the page for convenience:



Hello lads, had a brilliant weekend helping out with the Robot Wars Northern tour, made brilliant friends and had my first experience battling thanks to Jarvis, letting me fight Ricochet against himself driving Flow, Explosion, Satanics,  Beauty 2, Tiny Hurtz and the Toon raider lads' lifter which I didn't catch the name of. I managed to give them all a good run for their money, slamming them around the arena and Beauty 2 losing a wheel helped. All the robots bar Ricochet and Explosion were conked out and and almost got the latter into the pit before the radio signal started glitching.  I only lost to Explosion on a crowds decision so I have to admit... I've been bitten by the bug and in a few years time I defiantly will make a feather and take part.

Had a brilliant laugh during the event with everyone, enjoyed being part of the pit crew and I can honestly say I am absolutely shattered after loading the arena and robots into the lorry for the past two days. :P but if the lads read this then you know who you are, a massive thanks and hopefully I'll see you again soon. ;)


Back to the business you GTM lads are interested in I can present to you Alien Destructor and Big Nipper.(at last)

Daleksec7 made the claws so yous have him to thank for that, our first joint project and the rest is my my doing. Alien Destructors jaws were abit of an arse but I managed to pull them off quite well I think!

Next up in line are Toon Raider 2, Dystopia, TillyEwe 3, Bulldog Breed and the newly upgraded Ripper which I believe non have you will have seen yet. I would like to make Noisy Cricket, considering how kind Dave Weston/RazerDave was throughout the past couple of days and for giving me a lift home last night after the meal but he doesn't think it's worth it... So we'll have to wait and see.

Daleksec7 has been working on Shunt, Sgt Bash and Firestorm so expect to see them shortly. I have and I can honestly say you will not be disappointed! ;)

These, along with the others, are just... Amazing, even with a few years of practice in CAD, I don't think I could even come within a mile of how good these are. By the way, if you don't get the chance, once my heavy is done, feel free to have a go, tbh, you'd probably drive a lot better than me anyway. (I've had horrible radio problems in the past... Mainly, pointing the stick towards the top right would go forwards, but bottom left was spin on the spot :/ )

tl;dr next year, if you haven't already had a go with a heavy, feel free to have a go with The Procrastnitron.

Yeah, it's easy to do. Just edit the sound files to play a piston sound. Also the burst motor will eventually stop firing with power if you don't supply it with enough battery power.

Sorry, this is just a quick post.

Thank you everyone for the appreciation. bigbigger, I will only make Tiberius 4 if Ed Hoppit allows it. I do indeed offer services for designing custom components ect but I do not make replicas for people unless they own the robot themselves. Same thing regarding 3D printing, unless you yourself ask the roboteer for permission to have a model.

ArtyomTDO, massive thank you for the compliment I really appreciate it. I will be coming along to Barnsley if your attending, it would be great to meet you. :)


Anyway, here's daleksec7's Sgt Bash and Shunt. And Wham's Bigger Brother modified to resemble the real thing more.

Same to you HB, I just hope I've actually gotten either A. the thing working Or B.The parts, depending if my dad is a generous man... Who am I kidding XD

I believe the event is in Feb, if my memory serves me, which it should at least have motors and the rest of the Speed Controller. I'll PM you on the state when it actually has more to show than a frame. Which looks way too much like Leveller.  Keeps it out of the thread from now on (Although I will be keeping build diaries on here and FRA Forum. Self plug FTW)

[EDIT]

Mechadino is very correct, daleksec deserves some recognition! Assuming you live somewhere in the UK, feel free to come down to an event, same as I've invited HereticBlue, and come have a go!

Bash does look cool but does make me worry - I see a lot of empty internals. What's the plan when it comes to releasing this? Will the bot's components be invincible and/or have a tiny interior chassis? Or will the chassis pretty much fill the 'shell' which can be destroyed (what I would personally hope for).
That said, the new bots do look great.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Knight on August 25, 2014, 11:19:41 AM
Nice work on the arena, Daleksec. Will the floor spikes be included once it's done?

I do indeed offer services for designing custom components ect but I do not make replicas for people unless they own the robot themselves.
Welp. Time to hunt down Crusader and Pitbull
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: HereticBlue on August 26, 2014, 03:56:00 PM
Artyom, that chassis looks quite a bit like Leveller's your right. looks like it will be a very good robot once completed. Dave Weston /RazerDave on FRA would be very happy to help you with the internal design, he's brilliant. Lets hope you can get it in working order for early next year. it would be great to see it in action. :) Once you've signed Jonno's contract we can also get the robot into the game in the monthly add ons. Speed Controllers I find quite baffling, seeing that they resemble hard drives ect. Either way I wish you luck.

Mouldy King Bash, I am indeed a beautiful man, I have a tan and everything haha. Daleksec is the one to praise though, he's been brilliant. Just wait until you see his other work!

Thanks again everyone, we really appreciate the feedback as always. :)



Right I wont lie here, I've had some complications with legal stuff that needs to be sorted out, and on top of that my new born nephew who was born two months ago might never get to come live with the family because his twisted mother. So were all absolutely stressed and depressed, either way we are going to take further action. Its already cost several thousands for the baby gear, and now we're paying for a solicitor.

This stress has required a distraction and this is what I have occupied myself with. I started it last night after receiving the first concerning news and I've managed to finish it after receiving the second.

Either way, here is Ripper.
It's flipper shape has just been welded up this past week prior to the Northern Tour and the paintwork itself is actually a guestimation!

Thanks Sonny! Your also right about deadlines turning this into work, making it more of a burden than an easy going project which is why I'm not giving out a deadline. Daleksec7 is quite ill at the moment and cant do any projects anyway and we're waiting on Click helping us get the Robot Wars Live arena working in the game before the release.

Since arenas take time, the other arenas will be released in the monthly DLC. I'll also be doing a Featherweight add on once I get a BFEer willing to work on demand to make the chassis low enough. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming you don't need to have the graphics on low res to get the chassis to remain low because Hypnodisc and Chaos 2's chassis remain unchanged?

Cheers mate, one of the nicest comments I've ever received! :) If I am ever up in Belfast it certainly would be great to meet you, If you buy me a pint, make sure its Irish and I'll get you a Newcastle Brown Ale ;) It would be appropriate haha.
Thank you for appreciating how much is going on in my life at the moment, there is a lot that I'd rather not talk about at all but since I consider you all to be part of our little RA2 family, I felt appropriate to tell yous the main dilemma that is going on.
Regardless of whatever goes on I will try my very best to keep this project going.

Damn, the paint work on Ripper is furcking amazing.

I assume it's because this version was the 2011 UK champion and/or the team wanted this version too.
As good as the old Ripper is, I prefer the latest Ripper, it was easy to get to it and photograph it for the textures and in my opinion it is the most suitable for the pack.

This version isn't actually the one that won the championship, the version that did I will begin working on shortly in the form of Dystopia




I took this screenshot half an hour ago to show the evolutions of Ripper in the world of Robot Arena 2. As you can see development has progressed a long way in the component design and in John Findlay's robot design.

On the right, is my poor representation of Ripper MK3, the middle is Ripper MK5/Ripper Evo (which is a completely different robot from Dystopia before anyone tries saying different) made by Wham for the Roaming Robots pack and on the left is Ripper MK7, built in 2013 and I don't think I need to tell you who made it!

I forgot to mention that the legal stuff is sorted out. John cleared it up with me and said the other person just misunderstood and its obviously given us a scare! But when this is released it will be on the Official Robot Wars Website.  :thumbup

Any chance of hinting a possible release date ? cause this is just insane i would spend money just to get this mod AMAZING!!! Sorry to hear about everything legal wise hope you get it sorted soon.
Word to the wise, a hobby becomes a job when you have to commit to release dates.

HB, that Ripper is unreal.

Thanks Sonny! Your also right about deadlines turning this into work, making it more of a burden than an easy going project which is why I'm not giving out a deadline. Daleksec7 is quite ill at the moment and cant do any projects anyway and we're waiting on Click helping us get the Robot Wars Live arena working in the game before the release.

Since arenas take time, the other arenas will be released in the monthly DLC. I'll also be doing a Featherweight add on once I get a BFEer willing to work on demand to make the chassis low enough. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming you don't need to have the graphics on low res to get the chassis to remain low because Hypnodisc and Chaos 2's chassis remain unchanged?


You know what man? See if you're ever in Belfast for an event and once I'm 18 I will meet you in person and I will buy you a drink but that means I will end up infringing my moral code but what the hell I'll make an exception. Also your handling so much at life IRL and this mod and so many other things at once and you just keep going forward. Never thought I would say this to anyone online but dude you are an inspiration to me and probably this entire forum.

Also that bot. Top quality like usual. 11/10
Cheers mate, one of the nicest comments I've ever received! :) If I am ever up in Belfast it certainly would be great to meet you, If you buy me a pint, make sure its Irish and I'll get you a Newcastle Brown Ale ;) It would be appropriate haha.
Thank you for appreciating how much is going on in my life at the moment, there is a lot that I'd rather not talk about at all but since I consider you all to be part of our little RA2 family, I felt appropriate to tell yous the main dilemma that is going on.
Regardless of whatever goes on I will try my very best to keep this project going.

Damn, the paint work on Ripper is furcking amazing.
Regardless, the Ripper replica does look badass. Why this over the old Ripper exactly?
I assume it's because this version was the 2011 UK champion and/or the team wanted this version too.
As good as the old Ripper is, I prefer the latest Ripper, it was easy to get to it and photograph it for the textures and in my opinion it is the most suitable for the pack.

This version isn't actually the one that won the championship, the version that did I will begin working on shortly in the form of Dystopia




I took this screenshot half an hour ago to show the evolutions of Ripper in the world of Robot Arena 2. As you can see development has progressed a long way in the component design and in John Findlay's robot design.

On the right, is my poor representation of Ripper MK3, the middle is Ripper MK5/Ripper Evo (which is a completely different robot from Dystopia before anyone tries saying different) made by Wham for the Roaming Robots pack and on the left is Ripper MK7, built in 2013 and I don't think I need to tell you who made it!

See you all after the next update lads!  :smile:

1) I agree on the hole not having a deadline thing it gives you to much unnecessary pressure and expectations.

2) Seeing the way you used the give 2013 ripper it's colours makes it really stand out and see how we as a community improved in our replica building skills (except for me).

3) Those two other rippers are from (apologies if I misspell his name) whammenutt's roaming robots ai pack.

Am I correct in thinking that ripper Evo is the same as Wham's but skinned (I reskinned mine :D)? I've never seen the MK1 ripper like that. I know it uses parts from Wham's but it's brilliant! Hope that it's in the pack. 2013 ripper, WOW! That's... Something else.

@HB I'm not quite sure what you mean by "stay low."  The only chassis change you can make on med or high quality is uniformly changing the height (the equivalent of adjusting the slider on Step. 2 of the chassis design screen)
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: HereticBlue on August 28, 2014, 02:20:01 PM
Thanks lads!

Sonny, I would just like to make the chassis lower than the slider can manage but I want to know if the lowered chassis would still work using higher quality graphics.



Jaydee, I think you've misunderstood which version is which of Ripper.

The one in the middle is Ripper Evo, the 5th Ripper, made by Wham and the one on the right is the 3rd Ripper made by me a long time ago using Whams parts.

Here is the 6th Ripper... In other words Dystopia.

As far as I know, the only thing that gets messed up when BFEing the chassis height lower is that the graphics on the side get vertically compressed, so you'd need to stretch the initial image vertically to compensate for the vertical compression once it's in game. What I'm fairly sure is happening is that the graphics area isn't updated for the new vertical dimension, so it'll import the same area, but then it's applied to a shorter area, resulting in the compression. Easy way to compensate would be to do the graphic normally, scale to the proper width, then vertically stretch it to the height RA2 thinks the graphic should be.

Hello again lads, I'm quite busy at the moment but I will ask for this favour from everyone in return for us doing this Mod for everyone.

I'm very happy you all like Dystopia and so is Garfie, but Daleksec7 despite being bedridden and recently coming out of hospital, has spent quite a it of time and effort to make Limpet upon John Denny's request. Don't worry about the skin, I will be giving it a better one when I'm back at home but can you all leave your opinions on it please?

Thanks lads, people who leave their feedback for Daleksec7 will get something positive in return from me.



Also I'll call out again, are there any BFE'ers who will be up for making the simplified low chassis for the feathers?

Post by: cephalopod on August 30, 2014, 03:23:09 PM
Limpet looks nice. With a better skin and maybe the track not colliding with the wedge it'll be excellent.

As for the BFE request, are you simply looking to make a chassis flatter? If you are, there's a good tutorial around or I can do it whenever during the next few weeks if you wanted.

I remember at Colchester Thor smacking down into dystopias insides sending sparks flying...

Yeh whenever Dystopia seems to fight Thor it cuts out and i cannot work out why.

Funny thing is it only happens when i fight Thor (fighting Titans fine). I think it just shakes everything about so much it breaks a connection. Often just a quick reset and she works perfectly again.

Could be the Link, Receiver, Batteries, or even the Speed controller. But ive never been able to reproduce the problem other than when fighting Thor, so i have no clue how to fix it.

I have on the plus side fixed the armour panel falling off problem (for now), as Thor axing inside was scary - Especially as it cut out whilst pushing Thor, so he thought i was still active.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on August 31, 2014, 12:02:17 PM
Somebody needs to make some custom py files so Dystopia always cuts out against any possible Thor rep in an AI battle, lol.

Its actually very deliberate, and is part of the theme of the robot. (Wiki "Dystopia" if you have never heard of the word)

Its something people either love or hate. Some love its origionality, whereas some think the way others do it is better.

The sign writing is based on guerilla warfare, where they often hand paint the faction on the side of commandered trucks and so on. Being in a Dystopia it can be assumed forced labour or so on was used to create these enforcers (Dystopia actually also has a serial number, meant to imply others exist within its home dimension).

However some think that stickers simply look better, are more easily read and are generally more effective. Which i agree totally with, however i wanted to go against convention. It would have been alot easier to use stickers, but then again everyone else uses them and i wanted Dystopia to stand out.

The same reason goes as to why i havnt as of yet repainted it. It looks like its been through a war, it looks like its been through armageddon, and thats exactly what a Dystopia could be described as :) - I dont like the yellow and green which for some random reason appears to be under the current paint, but when i see that i get out a sharpie and colour it in, so that way i keep the scratches and the peeling effect.

Ill respray the scoop over Winter. Tbh i dont like how the police badge has faded away (Its now actually insulation tape cut to size on the robot), and the arm in general is getting to the point where there are more holes than paint, but still i like the rest of the body - even down to the re-welded part of the armour panel with no paint and burn marks surrounding it (Blue side).

Also another good part of the theme of the robot is it give me a really good excuse to do this (see attachment)

No there isn't a download link for the arenas because they are not exported yet. If your requesting an early release for the arena/s, or for us to send it to you only then the answer is no. It is Improfessional, takes away the quality from the full release and it would become complicated for John Findlay when he releases everything to the Official Robot Wars Website.

As you can see here that there have been another Robot Wars arena been made Series 3 arena been created by me and the series 6 arena (Images will come soon) has also been made by me but this arena might not be added since HB has been working on it to see if we can make it work without the game crashing, We havent released any arenas at this point since it would make the pack confusing for the director of Robot Wars to state for the official RW page but also it will get the audience more interested if the pack is released all in one.

I will be releasing more photos of the arenas I made and stating if they will be in the game or they just be ideas that could work if the work is not to much to have imported into the game,

If we are to give you a rough estimation of time/date to when this could be released it would be the beginning of next year the latest.

It all depends on when Click has the main Robot Wars Live Arena ready and if Daleksec7 and myself can have all the significant robots ready in time.

The robots I'm this pack are realistically powerful so expect a lot from the modern robots. Flippers will be your main worry when fighting, because there is a lot of them, but hammers/axes, spinners and rammers can leave you looking a bit mangled if you don't armour up and keep your front facing your opponent! ;)

Thanks guys! We're struggling ourselves to decide what to include now. Terminal ferocity, TAN, Titan, tomahawk and Turbulance are robots we would like to include. And we are trying as we speak to get in touch with the teams.

Onslaught is too small for the steering configuration to be included, Trident would get beaten far too easily, Dead Metal is already on our little list, Bullfrog sounds good I'll do it if I can find the team on Facebook. Whams 13 Black is already included, S3 we are considering but we would prefer to have photographs from the team. And the Toon Raider lads want to know more about our Robot Wars copyright deal from John Findlay, so just waiting for the team to get back to me.

Noisy cricket is fabulous. Does it use a hammer motor for the weapon?
Also, I thought you made titan and TAN. I'd love you more than life if you could make everything else (including Onslaught and Trident  :smile:). Turbulence would be fun if it was the first one with a powerful flipper. And I've always wanted the newest terminal ferocity with a flipper. Was thinking of doing it myself and Noisy Cricket.

As far as I'm concerned, you don't need the steering configuration to have a good rep of Onslaught. Onslaught is one robot I've been dying to have a good rep of, so I'd love to see it given the Heretic treatment.

So I finally came back to reality after spending the spending the weekend in total of 22 hours playing Persona 4 Golden (yes I have no life) I was greeted with this and I must say that this has better graphics than a PS2 game and it is bloody awesome.

I also have a confession to make to HB and everyone who is developing it:

I'll say this now that this is the game I'm not looking forward to the most. You can all kill me now.

Tornado (the interchangeable weapons didn't really come in until series 6)

The Series 5 version only had the disc (if it didn't have interchangeables), so the scoop version HB did was 6 (it had the flail too for 7)

Post by: h8tr13 on September 08, 2014, 03:16:10 PM
Thanks guys! We're struggling ourselves to decide what to include now. Terminal ferocity, TAN, Titan, tomahawk and Turbulance are robots we would like to include. And we are trying as we speak to get in touch with the teams.

Onslaught is too small for the steering configuration to be included, Trident would get beaten far too easily, Dead Metal is already on our little list, Bullfrog sounds good I'll do it if I can find the team on Facebook. Whams 13 Black is already included, S3 we are considering but we would prefer to have photographs from the team. And the Toon Raider lads want to know more about our Robot Wars copyright deal from John Findlay, so just waiting for the team to get back to me.

I've got Titan now. I might send some pics across...

Thank you guys! And thank you Knight for writing up the list. :)

Daleksec7 has been in touch with the Terminal ferocity team so expect two versions of that from him.

But on a serious note:

Turbulence and Merlin are off the list because they work for Robots Live, which along with Robochallenge is Robot Wars' rival company and I only work for one of them. Those of you with brains should understand why this also means that Kronic, Storm and Big Nipper could be discounted from the mod. We need to speak with the teams obviously but my guess is that Kronic will definitely not be included. Storm and Big Nipper, we might be lucky but I have my doubts.


Titan, TR2, Toon Raider, Manta, Mute, Hellbent, and Gabriel will most likely be in the mod unless something horrendously cocks up. But as for tomahawk & TAN we will have to see if they have a contract with the Robot Wars company. If not then they will not be included.

The robots from the show shouldn't be a problem because they had already signed their contract to the company and the majority of the roboteers are not reachable for discussion. Featherweights might be an issue, if they have ran in the Robot Wars arena or are not signed to any contract at all then we will make them... I think all yous would be bothered about is if Beauty 2 and Explosion will be in, yes they will but at this rate do not expect robots like 360, Venom and Little Hitter.

I can't see Storm 2 and Big Nipper being too much of an issue. They were on the show, and Storm 2 does carry the title of Robot Wars World Champion. Also, didn't Kronic and Big Nipper appear in Robot Wars events last year? Best to be safe and check though.

the diffrence is that DSL is not a official company and since Robot Wars is there are contracts that have to be obeyed and laws have to be followed and if the rules say that storm 2 cant be in cos of the contract then its a no go

Edit: Never mind, read the OP again. Well I know who I'm adding to this mod once DSL3 comes out :P

Hate to be annoying but will we see any more older replicas or is it just going to be modern bots from HB here on out?

I don't think you understand what HB has said at all.
The reason they might not go in is due to CONTRACTS made with Robots Live and Robot Wars, the 2 being very separate companies in the UK. A petition changes nothing. As I said, HB knows the situation, so he will let us know IF and only if he can use them. Until then, pretend those bots were never even involved.

I get what you mean.  Still I find it hard to forget guess waiting's our only option.  And I'm guessing the contract is to do with the competitor's being trademarked to the respective companies.

Post by: Lemonism on September 10, 2014, 04:18:01 PM
If the issue is to do with contracts I'm guessing that the owners of the robots may not allow their robots to be used in the game if they are part of a rival company (Robots Live rather than Robot Wars). In this case I think the robot would not be allowed in the pack, irrelevant of whether it was part of televised Robot Wars in some way.

You do know that i was creating a game for robot wars before this and then i stopped and went onto this project and the same people loved to be part of my game would love to be part of this? I dont want to sound all high and mighty but some of the robotters that know my name and i asked and they accepted which is helping the cause, dont underestermate that people have heard the game and willing to be part of it

Dalek's right. The RW community very much knows of this game, perhaps not the community, perhaps that's for good reason.
The fact stands that this will be an official thing under the RW brand, even if it is free, so yes, the roboteers have all been contacted to check it's alright, and also to get more detailed photos of each bot from my understanding.

So that he can't get sued.  All fanfiction, even those that don't make money, is technically trademark infringement.  99% of the time, they look the other way, but he's just covering his bases.

Hi everyone

Not posted on here in ages but I've been following the work on this (which is excellent by the way), and since everyone seems to be debating these "mysterious contracts" I thought I'd clear some stuff up :P

Sadly there is a lot of politics that goes on behind the scenes. The contracts simply allow Robot Wars to use the image of whatever robots they are signed for. We are not in any way "trademarked" to Robot Wars or involved in the RW/RL "rivalry" and most roboteers will continue to support both. Simply put the contracts just give permission for the image of our robots to be used in things such as this.

Obviously there is a lot more to it than that but that is for the roboteers and EOs :)

Hope that helps and all credit to those involved in this mod because it looks fantastic!

anyway i never watched rw and i am 100% behind this mod. keep up your great work everyone

Honestly don't worry about the copyright issue's because even if the robot's that are on more shaky terms as of actually being in the expanstion HB could make separate downloadable item and through our skills we could AI them ourselves providing HB does indeed release said bots separately.

Besides I have a plan B but HB most likely won't go with it.

Your Plan A isn't very good either - if HB hasn't been given permission to make it for the mod, I doubt there'd be any chance of having it as almost an expansion to the mod.
As I said, FORGET those robots were included. If they get included, it will be a pleasant surprise.

Any more 'schemes' to get those robots included in here will get a warn, because it's been said so many times now.

And finally I can understand why some of you find me irritating I not trying to be irritating it's just who I am and what I do that's it.

We do not take requests we ask permission first before planning that is that so you have to deal with it,

Serious note

It has come to my attention that 2 people have asked for the robots either from the archive or to release as a unofficial pack to try and get past the legal system, This is getting annoying! you do not message for the models so you can release them your self from the pack nor do you ask for them at all, This pack is for the official robot wars page as well as for people on the GTM but we do not give out robots if they are going to be in the pack nor do we give archive versions cos we dont use them anymore if this becomes a constant issue then we will find a way to deal with the people who keep pestering and asking let this be my final word, Stop asking as it wont happen you will not get archive versions nor will we give you the robots to try and beat the legal system or put them into your own pack and to be released

Thanks

I would just like to say, this thread has gone absolutely mad and as DS7 and Vertigo have stated there is no beating the legal system.

Rules are rules and law is the law, you go against it and you end up picking up shower room soap.


Thankyou Craaig, DS7, Garfie489 and Vertigo for trying to clear everything up.

Sonny, the mod is under the Robot Wars brand and will be having it's own couple of pages on the official website. Other than that you're bang on mate, cheers.

Mr A.S tell your mam I said thanks for last night.


Everyone else, try not to panick or go overboard. Rules are rules and life is full of them, you can't illegally torrent everything you want in life. It's best to forget the complications and just look forward to what you will be getting. ;)

And as for requests as stated before we don't take them anymore. We now only take requests from the roboteers if they want their robot in the mod.

Honestly i dont see how this mod can get any better its just the boom end of story. just wish you could have more than 4 bots at once if you could have 6 that would be just unbelievable but thats not gonna happen but still i cant wait till this is released gonna be great.

We'll yes BUT mostly no thing is he get's the skins from the roboteers themselves so if they have scratches he can't do anything about that HB wants to make this bots as accurate as possible and the best way is to get the skins other then the roboteers themselves.  Now he could just make the skins BUT they most likely wouldn't look nearly as good.

I really wish I didn't have to say this...

It has come to my attention that several members of the community have contacted the developers of this mod asking for either
a) Bots to be released early to them
or
b) The bots that will not be added due to the aforementioned legal reasons.

This mod will be released when it is READY to be released, containing all the bots the developers have been ALLOWED to put in - It's not really their choice if they cannot add certain bots. Similarly, the future replicas are all planned, so requests, unless asked for, are NULL AND VOID.
Be thankful for what is coming to the community and be patient. I know the attitudes of many here are grating upon the developers who do all this in their spare time, in a way that too much more may mean this is yet another excellent mod that doesn't make it's way to ANYBODY.
Again, I wish I didn't have to say this, but further actions in the veins of those described above may incur sanctions, as the developers are frankly starting to feel harassed.

So enjoy the previews and look forward to what you will be able to play in the future.

I think the flipper stays open while the compressed gas is still keeping the flipper up, and then goes down when the gas is released, so I guess the gas just takes a bit of time to be vented out of the robot.

Their what I call official replicas basically

I'm making 2 terms to differentiate these reps to other reps because comparing these toy ordinary reps would be unfair.

Official replica: A replica that has had support from the real life robots owner.

Stranded replica: A replica where no help or support came from anyone but the makers themselves.

A quick demonstration of Dystopia in-game.

Ive been helping out trying to get the ground clearance, power and the way it physically behaves just right for Dystopia in game. Plus also i helped rework the initial wire frame to make it a near exact match to the real Dystopia.

Hopefully with HBs work this should combine to make the most realistic robot possible for the game, and hopefully you all enjoy it once its realised.

Note: Unfortunately the lighting in the arenas used is alittle dark. The final look can be seen in the preview and also in the screenshots HB has already released.

Against Plunderbird, the flipper did seem to be quite intensive. Though not to the point where it was extremely unrealistic. I mean, Wheely Big Cheese pulled off a flip like that.

If I am correct the flip on plunderbird was extreme due to the robot not weighing the 1000kg the others that hb has made?

1000? Seems a bit to much for this game. Meaning that most of the robots would be Super-Heavy Weight.

I mean, I could be totally wrong right now and not even realising but just saiyan.

Against Plunderbird, the flipper did seem to be quite intensive. Though not to the point where it was extremely unrealistic. I mean, Wheely Big Cheese pulled off a flip like that.

Dystopia does genuinely have that much power. The flipper has 2 flipper "Settings", effectively a high and low. The "high setting" gives power at the expense of gas, the "low setting" saves gas at the expense of power. The mod is representative of the "high setting".

To see the full power of Dystopia, watch the video below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i28aTGVYe4U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i28aTGVYe4U)

That said i tend to use the "high setting" in real life sparingly, because it wastes gas. I only used it at this time because it was one of my first few events with Dystopia and i was still learning how to use it most effectively. At this time i thought of it as more being a "Flip" and "self-right" setting rather than how i do now as an "OOTA" and "General" setting.

Post by: HereticBlue on September 12, 2014, 08:20:45 PM
Jackster96 is right. Plunder bird is 600kg so in comparison is very light but the actual heavies still get tossed very very far! Depends on how you attack them.

I don't think there is any point in telling yous that Garfie is right, obviously he knows his own robot better than anyone else. ;)



I've been doodling for the past 4 hours and I've ended up making the first Featherweight to feature in the Mod....

Thanks everyone I'm very chuffed with Beauty 2!

To those who want to rip it apart... Your horrible. ;) in all seriousness. The frame is one piece but you can rip off the wheels if you get underneath or spike it. And you can attack the back which will rip out the gas bottle and motors which exposes the ra2 chassis and you can simply destroy it with one blow.

I might make another Beauty if I find out who owns/run each specific one and get some photographs taken. Then you will have a beauty to turn ugly!

Alex, 360 is retired. The teams other robot 720 is apparently the most destructive in the FRA FW Champs!

Microminer100, the closest thing to a Beta available is the one that Wham released a year and a half ago, but it is a completely different kettle of fish to what this has become.

Just finished this, it was honestly an arse taking 6 hours but I hope Jarvis likes it. And I hope you all like it, it's our next featherweight... Flow!

Love how sonny just wants destruction!
Who was the robot with the claw at the very start of that video yug1tom?
No idea. I would say it's a Plunderbird clone.
I'd be careful how you say that mate, if the roboteer reads the comment he'll probably get pissed off.  :confused:
If he's seen Plunderbird before, he'd know the resemblance whilst making it. If not, then I am sorry.

Also, I just looked up a video on Flow:

Is it going to be like that in-game? If it's pretty much a real life havok explosion, I wonder what it's going to be like in-game...

aww yiss this is my kind of flipper how have i not seen this before

I do like the Flow replica, it looks almost like the real one without the gaping hole in the side ;).
That video is from 2012, and running on 1/3rd power (20 bar as opposed to 70 bar max). On full power it destroyed itself.

We should be able to choose whether we have full power or not then. If we choose 20 bar, he havoks. If we choose 70 bar, the game crashes (or Flow immediately gets destroyed.) Ha ha.

Thankyou lads as usual, I hope the rest of the renders go well, I hope the other teams are interested and lastly I hope we find more featherweights!

That's not offensive.  "It's not a Plunderbird clone if the claw actually works" would be offensive.
The reason why I mentioned it is because a couple of other roboteers brought it up. I'm just being the middleman... Annoyingly as usual.  :facepalm:

Maybe in a couple of years time when it would seem decent for me to spin off and do that small amount of work for another company but for now, no.

Really glad you like it mate ;) Funnily enough when I was building Flow together in the botlab, I used a 80 bar pneumatic burst and it literally exploded so Yug1Tom wasn't far off with his guesstimation!

As you know I've made another one of your robots, Ricochet. ;)

Actually to some roboteers it can be very disrespectful. Very few roboteers create a robot in order to emulate another design, we all want oyr robots to be unique and treated as such. To some people saying their robot is just a copy of another can be very disrespectful to their own design.

Often we try to optimise our designs, this can lead to many robots having similar features, not because they copied each other but because they are good enough engineers to constantly rework their robot till its perfect. By saying that they just copied someone else after all that hard work can be disrespectful

Also off topic question. What is the difference between the RW and RL arenas?

RL has a proper CPZ is the mainly noticeable difference in terms of plan.

I think RL only has a pit - whereas RW has a flipper, flame jets and angle grinders.

Also RW has 3 sides where OOTAs are near impossible (back and each side). However the sides are only covered for 2/3 of the distance. The remaining side is exposed.

RL has one side exposed, with 3 sides with very high fences where OOTAs are possible with the most powerful of flippers (Dystopia, Ripper, Manta, ect).

Each arena has several variations (such as a small scale version), but thats the main stuff i see.

Also the general atmosphere outside the arena is completely different

Oh I get you, so he basically milled your flipper for you? You probably said a few weeks ago but I was too busy dribbling at Flow

It does, where as the pit is painted in the normal chevron, the flipper is painting more like an arrow.

Are you going to do a few more RW TV show replicas after this or are you just focusing on rw live replicas now (a lot to ask for I know, just curious)
I've added a few to the list on the last page but at the moment I'm wanting to get the RW Live competitors out of the way since there is only so many of them. Then myself and Daleksec7 will crack on with the remaining classic robots and We'll both fill there rest of the space up with feathers.

Excited to see you pull off Dead Metal. Was one of my favorite house robots.

EDIT: curious, will the house robots weigh more than the competitors? Or will they weight about the same?

Yes they will, but not by much. Shunt, Dead Metal and so on will way between 1500 and 2000kg where as Major Damage will probably weight about 2500 to 3000kg as the sheer size of it will make it hard enough to flip!

How did you overcome lag trouble w/ bots over 800kgs?  I find that they take longerto load so I always cheat thwir weight down

I don't really have that problem, it takes longer to load robots with loads of components as opposed to one with about 4 excluding the drive, wheels, battery and receiver. but some robots with the 2048 pixel skinned components take a bit longer like Ripper so despite my best efforts, I'm going to have to half the texture size.




Taking advantage of my week off work, I've made the first robot for today... Dave Weston's beloved featherweight, :P Satanix!

He used to own Flow, there were two versions of it before the one I have, this was the first:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv-2cNjOsDc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv-2cNjOsDc)
(The giant silver one)
Weighed in at 19kg and still only had 1/10th of this Flow's full power. The second one was similarly massive and heavy, but never fought:

Jarvis, Jesus Christ was it the one going absolutely mental in the first fight

You mean the one that made Annihilation hit the Robots Live arena roof? Yeah, that's it. It ran 2 Bürkert valves to fire the flipper (all other feathers like Explosion and Defector use 1) on 50 bar for twice the flow, hence the power. The setup was f*cking heavy though, and the robot ended up 7kg overweight. The current Flow uses a custom valve with 20x the flowrate of a Bürkert. On the same pressure as the old Flow it has TEN TIMES the power. And that is why I will never run it above 20 bar.

Amazing replicas by the way, I'm truly hyped for this pack. Even so far as it excites me more than the upcoming Silent Hills does... and that's saying something. You're not an idiot for not knowing how it's spelt, the paint is so scratched now you can't see the name.

thesnowingsteak, shh no-one will ever know!

Jaydee99, the chassis is a component. The actual RA2 chassis is little more than a spec hidden in the middle of the gubbings all thanks to FOTEPX. :)

Jarvis, yeah thats the one. Jesus that sounds immense, we might have to have another conversation about featherweight building later so I can pick your brain on pneumatics. Is the custom valve the bit that buggered up when you were up North? I know quite a lot about plumbing but pneumatics just seem like other world. But as with most things once I experience it first hand I tend to be quite fluent with everything, so it means you wont have to keep repeating yourself to me haha.

Anyway, Jarvis, you saw this earlier when It was a complete mess... But now its completely finished! (thank god) and as luck would have it you get two for the price of one! ;) I'm quite eager to read the comments for this one. Its been quite challenging and I hope you all appreciate it! :)

Redace, you made me laugh haha, nice use of the memey troll-y thing. ;) I'm too old.
You're welcome, I actually don't do that a lot. It made me laugh the moment I first saw it and I felt it was appropriate for how good that bot looks.


For a new bot, If you want a bot from the old-school robot wars, then how about Black Hole? From the Live Circuit Robot Wars, why not try Envy?

Aww, thanks. I've got more chances to work on chassis now, because it's the weekend. If ya need me or anything more chassiswork, just lemme know!  :approve:

By the way, I'm permitting suggestions for a bit, are there any robots you lot think I am missing out that truly deserve to be in the game from being a significant part of Robot Wars History?

IMO, a better rep of Chaos 2 is absolutely, -absolutely- nessescary. The DSL2 version is crap, and I haven't seen a better version anywhere.

Massive thank you everyone! I'm pleased you all like Ripper, I do consider it my best work so far! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up this new standard with the next few replicas. :)

Any chance of hinting a possible release date ? cause this is just insane i would spend money just to get this mod AMAZING!!! Sorry to hear about everything legal wise hope you get it sorted soon.
Word to the wise, a hobby becomes a job when you have to commit to release dates.

HB, that Ripper is unreal.

Thanks Sonny! Your also right about deadlines turning this into work, making it more of a burden than an easy going project which is why I'm not giving out a deadline. Daleksec7 is quite ill at the moment and cant do any projects anyway and we're waiting on Click helping us get the Robot Wars Live arena working in the game before the release.

Since arenas take time, the other arenas will be released in the monthly DLC. I'll also be doing a Featherweight add on once I get a BFEer willing to work on demand to make the chassis low enough. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming you don't need to have the graphics on low res to get the chassis to remain low because Hypnodisc and Chaos 2's chassis remain unchanged?


You know what man? See if you're ever in Belfast for an event and once I'm 18 I will meet you in person and I will buy you a drink but that means I will end up infringing my moral code but what the hell I'll make an exception. Also your handling so much at life IRL and this mod and so many other things at once and you just keep going forward. Never thought I would say this to anyone online but dude you are an inspiration to me and probably this entire forum.

Also that bot. Top quality like usual. 11/10
Cheers mate, one of the nicest comments I've ever received! :) If I am ever up in Belfast it certainly would be great to meet you, If you buy me a pint, make sure its Irish and I'll get you a Newcastle Brown Ale ;) It would be appropriate haha.
Thank you for appreciating how much is going on in my life at the moment, there is a lot that I'd rather not talk about at all but since I consider you all to be part of our little RA2 family, I felt appropriate to tell yous the main dilemma that is going on.
Regardless of whatever goes on I will try my very best to keep this project going.

Damn, the paint work on Ripper is furcking amazing.
Regardless, the Ripper replica does look badass. Why this over the old Ripper exactly?
I assume it's because this version was the 2011 UK champion and/or the team wanted this version too.
As good as the old Ripper is, I prefer the latest Ripper, it was easy to get to it and photograph it for the textures and in my opinion it is the most suitable for the pack.

This version isn't actually the one that won the championship, the version that did I will begin working on shortly in the form of Dystopia




I took this screenshot half an hour ago to show the evolutions of Ripper in the world of Robot Arena 2. As you can see development has progressed a long way in the component design and in John Findlay's robot design.

On the right, is my poor representation of Ripper MK3, the middle is Ripper MK5/Ripper Evo (which is a completely different robot from Dystopia before anyone tries saying different) made by Wham for the Roaming Robots pack and on the left is Ripper MK7, built in 2013 and I don't think I need to tell you who made it!

See you all after the next update lads!  :smile:


EDIT:
I forgot to mention that the legal stuff is sorted out. John cleared it up with me and said the other person just misunderstood and its obviously given us a scare! But when this is released it will be on the Official Robot Wars Website.  :thumbup

By the way, I'm permitting suggestions for a bit, are there any robots you lot think I am missing out that truly deserve to be in the game from being a significant part of Robot Wars History?

Well since you asked:

Pulverizer - The Second Dutch Series champion. Sure, it may not be as destructive as the likes of S3 and 259, but beating out a bunch of other robots to become champion of their home nation is worth taking note of.

Black Hole/Luzifer - Either one is fine. Black Hole, German Series champion, was an effective robot, even by UK and US standards at that point in time. It really showed what Germany was capable of in terms of robot combat. Failing that, Luzifer is its successor, and it's a shame I haven't seen many clips of it.

Philipper 2 or Hard - Philipper 2 was runner up in both the second Dutch Championship and the European Championship. Might not be the most effective robot, but deserves noting because of it's achievements in both of those events. Failing that, Hard could be decent Belgian representative

Updated S3 and Supernova - They were in DSL since 1.0 I believe, so updated versions of them for both this and DSL 3 would be pretty cool. Not much work to be done on S3 since the body component already exists, but Supernova needs looking at. Both were decent spinners, and Supernova was runner up in the Third World Championship.

Mortis - Series 1 and 2 semi-finalist and first War of Independence champion. A robot that was both hyped up and villified by the producers, Mortis has a reputation like none other in Robot Wars history. I believe Wham already made a chassis component that's in the 2013 pack's component folder, so it should just be a matter of working from there

Pitbull - Underrated robot from series 3. Probably the most successful robot styled after an animal because it reached the series 3 semi-finals. More of a personal preference, but it did have some success

Napalm - Not that effective in terms of weaponry, durability, reliability, or style, but would be fun to see smashed up. Also, it's a series 2 semi-finalist if that counts for anything

Yup, Jonzu and shield there's 1 more version of ripper which is the 2011 one, basically HB justs needs to reskin Dystopia in RA2

Explosion and manta look just hmmm. What's a good word...

Irredescant- holy sh** I spelt it right

Anyway, for suggestions I'd love one of the axe bots terrorhurtz or Thor, if it's still robot wars live robots you're after

If not, could you make the latest versions from robot wars series 7?

No bots by Shane Swan. Jonno wouldn't approve.

Idk if HB will do multiple versions of the same bot, I'm just saying, there's already the latest Ripper in game. I mean, i don't see him building both the old Bulldog Breed and the new one. Although I do stand behind the idea of adding even more bots to the pack, I'm not sure if HB will do it.

Just to relay what HB said to me last night regarding bots like La Machine and The Master, these did take part in Robot Wars however this was actually a different company. They sold the name to Mentorn and thus begun the UK Robot Wars, so those bots are out.

I've also seen lots of sorta dumb requests (no offence) for bots that have been confirmed to be already in the pack.

I don't think we need every semi finalist out there fro example would many people get a bit angry if say pitbull, blade or GBH didn't get in and besides build your own if you really want them for example I did Black Hole from Germany since HB has no intrest (for the time being).

Centurion from S3 is a visually interesting design that would work.

I also echo later-series Killerhurtz.

And to be a bit cheeky, there's a bunch of IRL designs from this forum that would be great to see with custom parts to reflect how they're supposed to look. I realise there is probably almost no chance of this occurring since the change to being an Official RW mod, but I'm just putting the idea out there..

By the way, I'm permitting suggestions for a bit, are there any robots you lot think I am missing out that truly deserve to be in the game from being a significant part of Robot Wars History?

A suggestion is when you put something forward for consideration. Eg. "Maybe Cassius could be a good pick because of blah blah blah". A request is when you tell someone to do something. Eg. "I request that you make Cassius"

Also, I've taken most of the suggestions people have submitted here, and made a strawpoll to see what suggestions are the most popular. However, it's a question of what robots truly deserve to be in, not your personal favourites. I didn't include some suggestions because they either might be getting updated anyway (Terrorhurtz, Chaos 2), are already on the master list (Thor, Grim Reaper), or can't be put in due to contract reasons (Killerhurtz, Envy).

http://strawpoll.me/2616333 (http://strawpoll.me/2616333)

As this isn't an offical poll from either HB or daleksec, I don't expect any results from it to reflect on what they do. I just made it to see what suggestions the community liked the most overall.

Ah, yes. I seem to have forgot the difference for a sec there. However, I don't think jaydee said it as in, 'Oh, I said it, so now you make it.' I think he just couldn't see the difference between suggestion and requesting.

Yeah, I didn't mean it like that.

And Dalek, out of everyone requesting, why pick on me? Not pull someone else up on "I said no requesting blah blah blah"?

Yeah Yug, DS7 has stepped in because it's starting to turn into a massive requests thing again. I didn't expect so many people to say the same robot either. It's became frustrating frankly!

Jaydee, I've been reading the suggestions and you are the key person who seems to be taking advantage and making requests instead. How many times have you asked for the same robot?



Thanks for posting the poll, Knight, that's actually quite handy!


Right... Thank you to everyone who chipped in!
So here's the replies to all of the suggestions.

Now Spawn Again seems to have gotten the majority vote so I'm assuming it's a no brainer. I'd like to make the Series 5 version if anything because I made the S7 version previously and it was an absolute arse.

Mortis, right my original intention was to rescale the shell that Wham made because it was quite small. But something has buggered up with the mesh and neither of us can prevent the slots for the axe and flipper from filling up. So since RA2 can only fire one choice weapon anyway then It appears that the Series 2 version would be the best choice.

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!

Cassius 2, Wham has already made the chassis so I guess it seems logical to finish it off, I would have preferred Cassius 1 to be alongside junior and C3 but you all consider C2 to be the better choice. I guess it makes the task of skinning a lot more easier for me!

Vader/IG88 I don't think will last too long and it would be too exhausting to make the insides on the former. So like S3, if someone provides me with the photographs of IG88 that I can use for skins then I'll make it.

Sewer Snake, now I love it so whoever suggested it knows me well! But it's up to John Findlay whether that goes in or not.

Now I really like Grim Reaper, but once again I'd need photos for skins. If no-one can send me any by this time next month then I will just make the unqualified 2000 model with the axe.

Black Hole. Definitely but can someone get me a higher quality picture of the front that the one on the WIKI page? Cheers.

Luzifer, this should be Definate. Either Jarvis or Craaig will have photographed it today so that could possibly be next on the list.

Conquering Clown & Major Tom. Both of them, myself and DS7 would like to make but it depends on if was can make the head... If not then oh well!

PulverizeR - I can't really make my own discs because the attatchment point never seems to be central enough for it to pivot smoothly... So if I do make it then the disc would have to be really light, or I can attach the sides of the disc to a reskinned DSL disc. I depends. Also I'd need the photographs for the skins.

Hard... Too easy.     ... You could all make it yourselves tbh!

Philliper, I was thinking this but the shape would take me forever. Daleksec, what do you think, do you wanna take up this suggestion?

Pitbull I don't think is necessary because we already have Alien destructor with similar jaws. Plus yes it beat Behemoth but... I don't know. It's up to Daleksec.

Napalm, I already promised this, I should really get cracking!

Twn Twrn... For god sake, ***king no. :P Yes after the first time I said no it became a joke... But sadly some people are starting to take it seriously again... So before anyone asks... Please, we're not that good! :P

King B? Sounds good to me!

Judge shred, no it's not an important flipper and we have too many as it is.

Centurion maybe. But I think it's boring, I'd prefer Weldor tbh. Anyone fancy fetching skin worthy photographs?

Sumpthing maybe, I need more detailed photographs than there is available first. And then there is the question... Will it work in the game!?

Mousetrap is the sort you can DIY so no.

Supernova, yeah I have already said yes to this, I forgot. I feel like I should do this anyway because it's the only robot from Sri Lanka In the 'wars.'

Granny's revenge? Your taking the Micky right? Do you want your computer to crash? :P

Trident won't last 5 seconds and it isn't visually unique to qualify in my opinion.

Anarchy I'm not doing because It's impossible to replicate how it walks realistically. It would end up running like a car with a box instead of a wheel on only one axle... It'l be as useful as a chocolate fire guard.

Spikeasawrus... Hmmm nah.

Slicer, to much like a suicidal tendencies and tetanus love child... Which reminds me.

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


So there you go, now you know to some degree what I will be doing out of those suggestions. But it's also a shout out for members to contribute if they are to get what they want. So I hope you don't mind, if you do then we won't be getting anywhere will we? ;)

And I've just cropped this up. It's still rough and I haven't done the internals yet but it's Minor Tom. Massive thankyou to Craaig for taking the pictures yesterday!

There is another replica that has been made specifically for someone's team. I've asked the roboteer in question to post it so you'll be getting that later on... I wonder who it is? ;)

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.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on September 21, 2014, 02:54:48 PM
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'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.

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.

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

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

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.)

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.

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).

Hey lads, sorry for not replying. Jarvis and myself have spent the last four damn hours making this new list.

It's the AI Teams!

I'm not doing fluffy I've decided. It's too simple to do and the unique weapon has already been made. Plus if I did make it then there wouldn't be much left for you lot to make in the Replicas thread. That's not something we want to spoil for everyone.

Anyway... Here it is! At last you can count how many robots are left to do!

If anyone is wondering why Robochicken and Atomic are not there, it's because I'm still only supplying parts and as for SMIDSY, I'm remaking it.

Oops, sorry nah I don't need anything else haha. It's incredibly hard to make sure every robot on that list is the right colour! 189 robots in total, 6 House Robots unlisted.

The arenas will still be making an appearance. Jarvis has been a massive help by taking photographs of the real robot wars live arena so the old mesh can be updated and the smaller one that attended the Northern Tour can be made for the Featherweights. As soon as I get in touch with Google for their streetview of the area then that arena should be made.

Well the chances of people saying no at the moment are pretty slim because the competitors are all around today. If there are any people who say no then to be honest it doesn't matter, because after getting some bad news last night I might be cutting down the list of teams.

Also the first 15 teams are going to be re-organised to predominantly have the modern competitors from today. Being under the Robot Wars brand of course it would be silly to have it any other way. But this also plays to another positive... I've powered up a lot of components in competition you'll find it would be a better challenge to fight to modern robots as opposed to the older ones.



Natef, Me-Me is a Team RobotDojo robot, but I'll most likely be axing that team off the list. Stealth is a featherweight flipper from the tiny toon team. See the competitors gallery on robotwars.tv (http://robotwars.tv) for more information on it.

I remember when this is purely a new mod, nothing official with RW.
Not saying I'm not glad it's official RW Material, but don't like the fact that you have to cut robots.
Also,

But this also plays to another positive... I've powered up a lot of components in competition you'll find it would be a better challenge to fight to modern robots as opposed to the older ones.
Why change them when you've made good ones?
Also, I know what you said about kronic but will you release all the robots that you have to axe some time as bonus content?

...Really?
If permission is NOT given, they will NOT be released, whether it be in the mod or in a 'bonus pack'/'extension pack'.
The roboteer, if they deny permission, has denied that bot being released with anything to do with this mod, and likely anything HB makes for the considerable future.

In other words if he can't get a hold of the bot it can't repeat CAN'T get a hold of that bot no ifs no buts it's not going in and besides I'm thinking of doing my own kronic 2 for myself and I think it'll be fun if some of you did as well yeah it won't look as good but you know it's better then attempting to get HBs kronic.

Sad news. Still, you shouldn't be working too hard while you're unwell. In fact, I'd probably suggest not working on the mod while you're off so you can recover better. We'd rather have a slower release but you in better health, rather than a rush job and you being in terrible health.

Yes indeed DS7 is having very poor health issues at the moment but he's going to keep working behind the scenes to distract himself.

As for myself, the bad news I received was not about me but about someone else and that's all I'm saying. It's worse than most of you can imagine... But at the moment it's not confirmed.

The reason why I'll be cutting down on the amount of robots is because I've put too many in there and it's given us more work than we can really afford to fork out. The robots which have been made, bar Kronic will still be included.

Anyway I hope this lightens up the mood. It's the featherweight arena you all have been asking for! It's Robot Wars Live @ Newcastle arena. :)


Massive thanks to Jarvis for specially taking the photographs that were used in this skin! ;)

That's cool HB, thanks for sharing.  I only asked because the way you phrased it is how I'd phrase it if I wanted people to ask.

Anyways, anything over 15 teams is cake, so you're aces in my book.  I have to say I was leery about the grunge motif, always preferred "mint-condition" robots, but these battle-damaged robots & arenas look really, really great.

Post by: HereticBlue on September 25, 2014, 10:37:33 PM
Thankyou guys, I really appreciate what's been said.


As for the arena thanks again, I'm looking forward to using it too! I'll be messaging Trov when I'm back from work to ask if he can use it to make a tutorial for me, killing two birds with one stone since Click has been absent for a while. But since the Tour arena is a drastic improvement on the larger robot wars live arena I made, I will be remaking it. :)

Yes I'll be looking forward to fighting the heavys in the arena too. It should be nice and cramped! And the gaps between the polycarbonate walls and arena walls will be too small for heavys to oota each other bar the entry gate side.



Thanks again to Craig for photographing the real thing this past weekend, I have made Team Danby's other Heavyweight... TX-109 :)

For some reason the photos have been squished a bit, something wrong with photobucket I suppose? But you get the picture! I hope you guys like it.

Thankyou guys, I'm pretty chuffed with it. And like Razer when it crushes, the robot is trapped and you can drag it anywhere. And the simple trick to doing it is simple two separate collisions! So the claw comes in two components... Mind, Razer's claw comes in three!

Breaking the claw into multiple pieces is a stroke of genius! RA2 struggles with collision meshes that wrap around so breaking it into multiple components should make it feel much more realistic.

When the mod is released will it be a standalone thing or will we have to install it over DSL3/Wham's Pack?

I see no reason why it would not be a standalone thing, as it would be much easier to use as you won't have to download all these other things and then install it over.

I Agree. It would make more sense to make it standalone.


Hi Jarvis, I enjoyed seeing the footage you recorded but I noticed there were no flipping sound effects for either of the robots. Do you know why that is?

This is still a WIP. Not everything is finished yet, like the sounds effects, still have to get a microphone and record some robots flippers going off.

Thankyou guys, I'm pretty chuffed with it. And like Razer when it crushes, the robot is trapped and you can drag it anywhere. And the simple trick to doing it is simple two separate collisions! So the claw comes in two components... Mind, Razer's claw comes in three!

Hunh, cool idea. The way I was thinking of doing it is having a small invisible motor with a small, invisible, high DPS weapon attached to the end of the claw, so as to emulate the damage that the claw would do when ripping through the chassis - but that wouldn't have trapped the robot, and your idea has. Awesome, dawg.  :thumbup

You could look at it that way, yes, but I think it's fair enough for HB to use 3DS Max for the promo shots as it allows for better positioning than RA2 would, and since he spends a lot of time in 3DS anyway it's probably far easier for him to use that. Besides, we have already seen some in-game footage earlier in the thread, so it's not like HB is trying to mislead you. He's just making a cool picture to promote what he's creating.

I've just removed a bunch of posts from here regarding people being impatient and others shouting about it.

PLEASE do not ask when this pack will be out.
PLEASE do not make requests unless they are asked for, the bot list has been confirmed now.
PLEASE do not ask for the bots that have been removed.
PLEASE do not ask for the pack early.

If I know you've read this message and any of the above are carried out, I will apply a warn.
If people have problems with this, speak to me.

Not sure if this is important, but I thought I'd might as well ask. When Wham was working on his pack, he included a bunch of miscellaneous parts (sirens, eyes, etc.) that would take up the "Extras" components section, not too dissimilar to how the official RW games handle them. Will this be continued in the official mod?

Earlier today I had the exact same thought, probably I'd say, but I think we should continue the discussion elsewhere, as I'm pretty sure we don't want to make it 20 pages long of just discussion with no input activity from HB

If any of the teams you're featuring have some kind of decoration that's supposed to break off for crowd appeal - like Kronic's spikes or Mighty Mouse's ears - that's what I'd love to see in "extras."

Hi lads, I've been very busy lately but I can answer a few questions.

I will indeed be supplying a small kit of parts but so people can make realistic yet unique robots rather than replicas. A few of the parts from Whams Roaming Robots pack will be enhanced and revamped for people to make their own replicas of robots not featured in the mod.

As for decorations, please remind me on when the replica list is completed to get them done! ;)


Right first off is a revamped Manta Jr since the one I made previously was actually Mantle the beetleweight... So I had a daft moment! The second is something long awaiting to be included in this mod and thanks to Jarvis for photographing the robot, creating the skins and creating the mesh with little I out from me, we now have Titan!

Hello guys, it's been a while!

It's been a tough week with everything going on, as DS7 has mentioned. The funeral ended on a happy note... Bizarrely. And erm I'm pretty much better but I've still got an irritating cough, smoking will cure it! Haha.

But aye, massive thankyou to you all for saying what you've said I really appreciate it. :)


Either way I have had the time to get on with a few things in return.

I've been making new versions of several robots, an upgrade as such to bring them up the the same standard as my recent work. Dantomkia, Eruption and SMIDSY have all had this treatment. Oh and not to mention the first Robot Wars Live arena I made, has had a massive re texture with thanks again to Jarvis for photographing everything. Just need to retest urge the floor now and it's up to the same standard as the tour arena.

And last but n... Probably least, DS7's Mangler has been made compatible with the game, it needed a few bits redoing and the skinning obviously but that's that out of the way. And I've also made Speed Wave and the superb Little Hitter 3 for the FW Catagory.

Good to know things are getting at least a bit better on yours and DS7's end despite the stuff you two have been through lately.

Also, good to see a solid list of teams. A bit disappointed that Mortis and Black Hole are no longer listed though.

In regards to the new/improved robots and the reskinned arena, they look great. Not much more to say on that front. Is Mangler a new house robot?

Knight, Yeah Mangler is a house robot John Findlay built. It weighs 150kg there abouts.
And as for Mortis and Black Hole, you'll have to wait and see, ;) don't forget about the DLC That will follow.

Thyrus, cheers man. I haven't got a PM in a while, Once I have the first 15 teams all completed should I send the stuff over then would you like to make a start on the AI-ing?




I've just knocked this together tonight, that means now another team is complete!
Scorpion now joins Flow and Titan.

Thankyou for the comments guys! This week I've been working on sounds and music, preparing everything for the new batch of sounds that Jarvis is recording this weekend.

The lt RW arena that Wham revamped now has background battle music and an intro! Same with the tourney arena she made. I'll be adding music to a few other stock/DSL arenas that I've reskinned, such as the octagon and the blade arena... Not too sure on the Parking lot arena though.

___________________________________________________________

Right big favour please lads

Can literally anybody rip the and send me the sound files from RWEW or RWAOD of all of Jonathan's commentary, the bot lab music and any arena music if need be?

This is a very important task and whoever does it will be credited when released and their name will be on the splash.

I've have Jonathan's Commentary though it's in one big mp3 file. (3 1/2 hours)
I can cut it up into individual mp3s, or I can send the entire file.

If you do want me to cut it up, do you want me to get certain parts of the commentary?

Has anyone tried to make commentary by putting it in the same sound file as something else (i.e. On the sound for the pit, there is a sound clip of Jonathan Pearce saying for the pit to go down?) It's something I've always wanted to see.

I've tried something like that, however the pit noise is scripted to be the same sound clip played three times... it'll require some real surgery to change that.

Cheers 090901, that was very helpful. Now most of the arenas have music and the stock music from the menus and botlab have been replaced. I now just need the sound effects and Jonathan's commentary. Possibly even the recordings of that lass in the AOD Botlab if possible. Anyone able to fetch them for me? Thanks guys.


Oh btw I changed the splash after testing all the updated arenas with the music and the game decided to pack in. So I'll have to delete everything and reinstall it. Is stupid that it crashed from that of all things, even after adding the old one back it still buggered up and deleted half of the teams. Thank god I backed everything up to the laptop, Dropbox, Jarvis and ds7's computers!


Edit: Sonny I managed to change the pit siren noise by editing the .py file for the arena. The activate sound is the same noise twice and the last being different. Will take some thinking to change.

And thesnowsteak, you seem a bit on edge, why like? I know you were having a laugh... I'm not a bastard you know haha.

Robobowler, if you could send the entire thing that would be greatly appreciated, I can section the commentary to save you the trouble. :) thankyou!

Edit again: 3 1/3 hours? Oh my god maybe it might be good for you to cut it down abit mate, I'd really appreciate it!

Did you see RoboBowler's post up above, where he said he had them? Did you ask him for them?
If not, I might be able to get them. I do have the game, but I haven't tried looking at the files ever, so I'd have to do some research into that.

Weird. I never had that problem. I could just keep going about my business and she'd cut off when I did.


Anyway, late commentary here, this is looking phenomenal.  Half of those pictures I can't tell if they are replicas or real with the background removed.

HB, when you say you've changed the splash, what is it to? Ducky's RWED graphics? I'd like to do it myself but don't know how. Or is it Wham's own or akshaylan's? Sorry to go on about it.
Plus, how did you add the themes in? Does the game cycle through the soundtracks? I've often thought about doing that.

I finished cutting up the Adviser's Voice Clips (Bot Lab Woman), and I'm 'nearly' finished cutting of Jonathan Pierce's commentary.

Can I ask, what parts of Jonathan's commentary do you want?
It will help to know, cause then I don't have to spend as much time cutting the large file.

Post by: HereticBlue on October 25, 2014, 07:11:10 PM
RoboBowler, I sent you a PM earlier this week.

Jaydee, we've got all the original themes, it's the sfx from the game we need. And you know as well as we do which arenas will be in the game. The EB Games Robot Wars at Australia arena might pop up, it depends. Considering how many high powered flippers are in the main AI, it May be pointless to include an arena with such low boarders.


Right some of you may have noticed I've been editing the list on the first page, and more teams are being completed, here is the evidence of this weeks work. :)


Hard Wired II built by someone popular on YouTube for Game Reviews.

****ing big post typed out deleted itself. Not happy.

Kurt, was thinking of making the 4wd Scotsbots kit as a starter bot for the feather Catagory and make several weapons for people to add. Would mean you could make your feather damn easily.

Cheers Jarvis, aye but I couldn't be arsed haha.

YugTom & Impossible343, Yeah Beast in the game is low pressure, nowhere near as good as the modern one but it looks nice. It's a shame the real was the source of parts, but then again the modern day Beast is Beautiful!

Rofantawesome sounds like it advertises Fanta.... A give that man a beer meme would do haha.


Completed the most powerful flipper in the game last night... It's absolutely insane, I had to add an extra control for a low pressure self righting so Iron Awe 7 doesn't flip itself out of the arena! That's happened twice in testing! As for the AI version, I'll make it drive dodgey to give people more of a chance to win... Got no choice tbh haha.

So you have it controlling the power of the flipper? I'm very interested in how that works. I guess I'll find out when this gets released.

Iron Awe 7 is cool, and I really love the 2008-2012 Beast. So glad it's being included, it's one of my favourite robots.

Iron Awe 7 looks simply awesome. I love how detailed it is, also I am curious on how how high it can flip a bot with that pressure. Slightly off-topic, but I can't believe it's already been a year since you've started this. It's good to see how far you've gone with this and how dedicated you are. I applaud you.

Yes the wheels are that big in real life :)

At this years featherweight champs, Defector was the only invertible flipper. It was also statistically the most powerful working flipper at the champs aswell, which helped it on its way to 4th place in its first attempt.

It looks a bit wonky, but I doubt it.

Taking a picture of the bots together is far easier than photoshopping them together.

My biggest question is - can you rip these replicas apart? They look amazing and all, but they'd look even more awesome in a thousand tiny peices, scattered accross the ring by a Hypno-Disc or a Razer. From what I've seen it's just shells.

No worries if it is just shells, because even if it is, the shells are the absolute best thing to happen to the GTM community since the release of DSL 2.

Niiiiiiiice

So, if you don't mind me asking, I have just a few questions.

When you flip a bot, does it get damaged when it hits the ground like in real life? Because i saw Dystopia had lost a wheel and was smoking by the end of it, or was that from the flipper?

Secondly, I've been dying to know, how exactly did you get so much flipping power without making the bot launch itself?

I'll reply to the comments when I'm arsed... Too irritated to type it out again and my break is almost over.

Managed to export the attatchment point to make a balanced drum, and it works really well. Gyrodances and everything! Built by the same lad who built the mini Hypno-Disc (360) it's 720!

If your know anything about this robot then you'll either be terrified or very very excited!

Rip was given to Team Toon and run as Ripoff in 2012 and 2013, before it was returned to Jonno where it has run at live events as Rip since. < hope that clears up people's misconceptions about it.

Jaydee, you have a lot of all time favourites :P



Thanks for clearing everything up for everyone Jarvis.

Thesnowingsteak, go get your coat. That joke was terrible. :P haha.

Camaro Kid, bingo


The interest in this mod must have really died down? I'm suprised people arn't talking about the DLC, hidden teams and the fact that Rip could easily be tweaked, resized and reskinned into Ripper Mk2!
I do intend to literally blow your minds away as time goes on. :)

For example, they may not be listed but myself and MikeNCR have been in contact with a few American roboteers. ;)

Oh, and a little minor update to tide yous over bonfire night. I've tweaked Behemoth to match the quality of the others in the top 15. It's not brilliant, infact it's a bit crap but it's the best I Ian do until the new one is made for the DLC.

Well, all we know about for DLC is Mortis. Apart from that we have no clue what to expect. Maybe Schumey? Ceros? Maybe some future heavyweights currently being built when they're finished. I'm still waiting for Bullfrog to be honest.

Behemoth looks nice though

That grey part kinda throws it off. It would look much better even with a generic scratchy metal texture on it. Aside from that, the scoop and the side bumper things are done brilliantly and overall looks nice.

YugTom, you know me, I always do my best to traumatise people :D in a good way.... Ish!

Kurt, as far as I know it won't cost anything. But Jonno or the other lads working with me might want to get a little income from it to fund us making the stand alone game.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: HereticBlue on November 08, 2014, 12:21:39 PM
I don't think the contracts are that strict, providing the roboteers were more than happy to be in the game despite it being an Offical Robot Wars product.

Right, another update, now I can't take any credit for this what so ever. It's taken over a month of head scratching to get this one sorted but thanks to it's builder, MikeNCR... Nyx is now in the game! And damn that axe is vicious.

Sonny, when I posted it, I did have it working just like the real thing but the front forks kept havoking. they didnt like stopping half way between their end points, the only issue with 180 degree servos. They work fine now with 60 degree servos but obviously it as fun and complex to use.

Badnik, I've gone thick mate... What do you mean by the nutstrip?

Thankyou guys! Quickest one I've done yet I think!


Lemon, It's bit of bad editing over the render...  Would have worked perfectly if the background was black though! The Flamethrower was too good in terms of damage because AI used 3 to get a wide burst of flame poking through the wedge but it doesn't go very far. If possible I'd like to make a new one that actually shoots fire 12-15ft forward like real life!

Badnik, yeah the wheels were reskinned sewer snake wheels, then I realised it has different wheels entirely so it now uses Tornado wheels in the game.

RPJK, good to see you back mate! Hope you enjoyed yourself, and got me a souvenir. ;)


Right this time it's not American, but i did have to make this from scratch rather than reworking the old HW mesh like I did with Manta Jr.

It's the Ex FW champion Mini Mighty Mouse!

I would like to make Eruption, Iron Awe 6 and Ripper but for the time being I'm focusing on popular Robot Wars competitors. This is probably the closest you're going to get to a modern replica from me for the time being and it only uses reskinned flipper panels and a skirt hinge burst with added oomph

Hey, I've been watching your progress with these robots and, Heretic, I have to say they are bloody brilliant.  I have a few questions, though.
1) Are you doing robots from Robot Wars Live (or Roaming Robots as it's called), Robots Wars S7, or both?
2) If it's just Roaming Robots, would you like me to post the pictures from the gallery on for you to see or just leave it?

First, welcome to the forums :)
Now for your questions:
1) There is a list of robots on the first page of this topic, so you can see every robot he's making.
2) I'm sure HB has access to all of the pictures he needs to make his replicas, since he has been in contact with the builders themselves for a while now.

Put it this way when a full video game's about to come out you don't go pestering the developer for the content early put it like that.

Put it this way when a full video game's about to come out you don't go pestering the developer for the content early put it like that.
Well, I wasn't pestering but asking if the studio arena he uses is out for downloading (even though I've got a fair idea that it ain't). That's all. Yeah, I want this to come out early, but when it comes to stuff like this, it takes time. I can easily wait for this thing to finish and appear for all of us to play. Waiting for this game mod will be totally worth it in the end. :ermm: HereticBlue, keep up the good work and we'll be here complementing all of your work, wishing that you have a long break after you've finished this mod. .....I think I might've already said this. Aw well.

By the way, the arena is out to be downloaded. I downloaded it yesterday on the 18 of November. It's the 19 now. Can't remember if it came with it's own AI, though. Might try and download it again later. I think it was called RW or Robot Wars or something. Can't truly remember. You should find it, though.

Bad News Guys

The computer I normally work from has died. It wouldn't turn on so we changed the power supply for the one that the computer previously had built in but then that one has died today too. Luckily everything was backed up yesterday, so nothing is lost. But it will take time to get everything back on track from my end considering the lack of computer.

But don't dispair, Jarvis will continue AI-ing everything we have. And Ds7 and MikeNCR Now have 3ds Max 8 too so I will be able to teach them how to export the replica components to keep everything going and to give you updates over the Christmas period.



I'm leaving Jarvis and Mike in charge of project management and Craig in charge of organisation, Q&A until I'm back on track.

Thanks for everything guys.

Jarvis sorry to hear about your troubles - I had that problem meself back in April, luckily I was still under warranty.  I highly recommend Carbonite to anyone doing RA2 projects - the files are small and the backup is automatic.

If you have proof, then I'll believe you. I don't see much evidence. :confused: But I'm not saying they're being lazy like Jonzu95 (Which to me is a load of crap because he ain't lazy, no matter how many times you people say he is :realmad(), but there could be a different reason for it. I can't think of any, but it's sounds plausible to me. :baffled:
Do you even understand the level of commitment one has to have to undertake a project like this? Have you undertaken a project which requires a level of commitment similar to the one in this project? Do you understand how hard the people have to work to provide a fun, enjoyable game like the one this is eventually going to be and how carefully they have to restructure their life in order to make the mod? No? Please, do us all a favor and stop replying to this thread unless you understand what you're saying.

Okay, let's sort this out.
Taylor, it sounds like you're just angry because the pack might take longer than you'd like. It will take as long as it needs to take and no longer. Frankly, if the guys said 'hey we're taking a 3 week break' you should be like 'okay cool, I know the pack will be awesome when it comes out so I don't mind a few extra weeks.'
Jonzu IS lazy. He admits it. Everyone knows it. PLEASE don't try and weigh in on that topic when you're as new as you are.
At the end of the day Alex has it right - as does Sonny.

I request that we forget the above happened and do NOT reply to any of it. Anything further and I'll apply punishments to everyone involved.
Taylor if you want to discuss this more, message me directly.
Jarvis/HB, if you need anyone to AI a few bots or test anything while your stuff's down, shoot me a FB message and I'll get on it.

I wasn't here, I'm hating the new Christmas theme and I need a lager so I'll not ask what happened earlier in the thread.  :ermm:


We all keep everything backed up on Dropbox and external hard drives so we're that well prepared for something like this, we don't even have to ask each other for backups!

I'm just selling out a few things to get some side cash for Christmas pressies and when I pick one... A new 350-400w power supply. Then I'm back on track, hopefully before Christmas! Jarvis is obviously severely buggered but he was thinking more ahead than the rest of us. Smart arse.  :p

To be honest though this break was going to happen anyway, we ran out of photographs for textures! There's a few roboteers who haven't sent their lot in. I assume MikeNCR will be chasing the Electric Boogaloo and Son of Ziggy teams soon.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Jarvis_Rapture on December 14, 2014, 04:06:38 PM
The AI is done as far as it can be for now, ie every completed replica going in the game is done. Until more stuff comes along, I'm looking at improving the games performance in a few ways:

RESOLUTION
I've forced the game to display in 1920x1080p with no stretching; at the moment it works fine but it's not changeable in the main menu. I'll try to fix that when I next get a chance (probably tomorrow)

ANTI-ALIASING
There's no question that this game has horrible jagged edges, whether or not it bothers you is a matter of opinion but personally I don't like it. It can run with (very weak) AA but it has to be changed on the user end in the graphics card settings. I'm looking at ways to get the game to support inbuilt AA but it's not looking promising (old games ftw)

FRAMERATE
Now this has stumped me. Either RA2s framerate is locked at 30 or its simply not properly optimised as it never seems to raise above 30fps. Does anyone know how to unlock the framerate to say, 144? Any help appreciated :)
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: RpJk on December 14, 2014, 04:52:58 PM
I'll be honest but that was one of the reasons why I stopped playing RA2 is because it looks and to a certain extent plays outdated. I would love to see RA2 on 60fps and at a better resolution. (Like the way FFVII got upscaled to look better) Also is it just me or does driving the robots don't feel as great these days.

Side Note and just a suggestion: Can you guys try and see if RA2 could work with an analog stick like a PlayStation or Xbox style? I've managed to play RA2 with a PS3 controller but I have not figured out how to make it work with analog controls.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on December 14, 2014, 05:08:08 PM
RA2 works with analog sticks just fine, at least with xbox controllers.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Jarvis_Rapture on December 14, 2014, 05:11:25 PM
While that's true, RA2 doesn't have the facilities to use analog controls. The speed of the motor is either full speed, or no speed; on or off. Like driving a real robot with a bang bang drive setup  ;)
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on December 14, 2014, 05:24:37 PM

Post by: Juza1 on December 14, 2014, 05:27:09 PM
I play RA2 with my rc sim controller which works perfectly. You can actually control the speed of the motor, so it's not just off or full speed. Even all the buttons and switches for weapons work properly.

All of the 'robot designs' exports of the reps are wired up to use the xbox controller, I connect the controller up wirelessly using this. It comes with a installation disc, very bloody handy overall!

I haven't tried it with a PS2/3/4 controller yet though but the game definetly works with the PS2 style USB gaming controllers, been using them since I started playing the game when it released. Only been using the xbox controller with it for the past year now.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Jarvis_Rapture on January 12, 2015, 11:53:42 AM
1080p yes, that's done by editing some of the config files. Anti aliasing possibly, but at the moment it's done through the Nvidia control panel so it's not in game.
Resetti, anti aliasing is a technique games use to smooth jagged edges that occur because everything is made up of pixels. Anti aliasing sees an alignment of pixels and predicts what should fill the gaps, leaving a smoother more natural looking edge. RA2 doesn't have any, but it looks way nicer with it even if it is only SMAA 2x. FXAA works but it's too damn blurry. I tried it with TXAA but it tanked the framerate to 10fps.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Jarvis_Rapture on January 13, 2015, 02:51:37 AM
I hope I can get it to run AA in the final release, but it's not likely to work due to the game engine being ancient, and if it does I don't think it'll work on anything that isn't an Nvidia GPU. It doesn't actually make that much difference, at 1080p the resolution of the pixels is so high that edges look pretty smooth already.

Nah but whenever we set one, those couple years will be added on ;)

Of course we are joking, but as RedAce says, it'll be out when it's out.
Yes, it will come out. No, it might not be right when you want (eg now). Yes, this means it's still in progress.


Also I'm assuming dezox actually means the test garage - the textures do look a bit dodgy there compared to the bot it must be said, just shows how much improved these reps are over regular RA2 bots.

The test garage is pretty bollocks and as much as you can fiddle with the textures, as demonstrated by others it can never really be good enough. So we will be looking into making a new bot lab test arena for everyone to faff around in, going to try and add a couple more things to attack too.

Re- release date.... I'm suprised people are asking about it when we're having an unexpected dry spell.  :gawe:

Slightly bad news, because of a particular tw*t, you might not get all the classic All Stars you were hoping for. But the team and myself are trying to get in touch with as many others as we can. King B's recent return might mean it will be one of the replacement robots for example.

Ooh look, a tree!


Edit
Forgot to say, I bought a new Power supply but the voltage was too low (despite it being the same as the effking old one) so I'm using one of the spare Laptops my lass has given me and turn it into a new pretendy tower.

At the moment I'm hunting for a new source of 3D Studio Max 8... Not having any luck so I might still need to sort out the old PC to rescue my program's from it.

Is this something to do with Robots Live, or is it to do with one or two roboteers simply not wanting their robots in the mod? Kind of sucks if we're looking at double digits.

Probably that some idiot dosent want his bot in the promotional stuff, but the rights have gone over to Robot Wars LLC and he now is just being a git.

Bingo.

Nate, thing is the person who actually built the robot has already said yes and the version of the robot in the game is modelled on the period when he owned it. Because he is the builder, we would've taken his opinions into account if he didn't want it in the game even though the contract says we have the upper hand.

However, the person who owns it now is making a fuss because he tried to blackmail us to use his stuff as advertising for him which, we are not meant to do. This guy does not have the right to overpower the builder's word, the contract or us... Especially over a blackmail. What's worse is that he said he wanted it in the game before we made it.... Funny how his mind changes when he doesn't get what he wants?

If I made Ripper in game before it was Dystopia, and John Findlay gave me permission to do so and Gareth said he didn't want it in the game. Then Gareth wouldn't have that right, it's the same situation here.


Ps.
The reason why stuff may change in the mod because of this however is because we might be restricting ourselves to what goes in the game or not, so we don't have a real case on our hands where the actual builder says that he doesn't want the bot in the game. So basically a few classics we don't manage to get permission for will be removed. Possibly including Chaos 2 and Hypnodisc which would be a shame. But we are trying our best to track down the builders.

Post by: Badnik96 on January 16, 2015, 07:55:06 PM
I don't really see where this case is keeping robots from being added. The original creator has given you the OK, so ignore the git who wants free advertising and throw it in anyway. He doesn't really have much of a case if he takes it anywhere (it's a fan mod for a free game and you've gotten the original builder's consent)

Where does this guy think he is anyway, Deviantart?

Where does this guy think he is anyway, Deviantart?

No idea who that guy is, but anyway. The guy in question has tried blackmailing in order to get a copy of the game. By removing permission to use his robots image is how he intends to do this.

However we have not included his robot in the game under its current paintjob. We included the version before he owned it because it was alot better and more highly ranked in the uk.

He wants us to show him the contract he signed to use his image, which is rubbish because we are not using it at all. Plus we have the agreement of the previous owner,plus the fact he signed the contract.

Now the current owner wants to see the contact, which will not provide for him because he is not a signatore, nor a team member/relation of the signatore. He has no right to see the contract, as such the contract is private and confidential.

Unfortunately when you buy a robot, you dont generally buy the marketing rights along with it. When I bought Dystopia for example, I was not allowed to keep either the name or paintjob of the robot by mutual agreement.

Unless he can prove he bought the rights to all images of the robot, past and present then he has no right to view the contract.

They're most likely not going to say since that could end really badly, but I'm going to take a guess.

Here are the key points:
A)It's a RW classic all star, as hinted by HB
B)It's a robot in the pack, but under a previous alias or paintjob
C)It was more successful previously than it is currently
D)It was sold on from the original builder

With that in mind, I've narrowed it down to a few:

High-res photos weren't directly lifted to make the bots skin as on most replicas here, but the skin was made from scratch USING real photos of the bot as a reference, as far as I am aware.

The top panel was taken from a snippet of the TR2 texture, the scratches I photoshopped and reused from Meggamouse, the wedge texture is taken from TR2's flipper and the weld lines are taken from Ripper's flipper before it was painted, the name on the top is textured font plonked in and the number 9 was drawn up on Inkscape which is the program I normally use to make brass etch artwork.

The program I've used is Paintshop Pro 8. At the end of the day, to make a good texture, you have to build yourself a good database of photographs to steal segments from.

So all in all, you're all right, thanks for the comments guys.  :smile:

Right, thanks to the team for taking the texture photographs and to DS7 for tracking them down on Facebook and messaging them.

King B was quite hard to do actually, it took me all evening... And people say it's just a box on wheels... Hah.

Redace, cheers mate! Late happy birthday to you too haha. No the logo isn't on the top polycarbonate panel anymore, I quite like it without. It's still full of character I think.

Ian, Dezox, I did have the AI version with a static front and the RD version with a servo powered lifter so it can lift from either way up but it wasn't low enough to get enough everything and it jiggled when it came into contact with objects because of the angle. So I've changed it over to a lifter burst and it works brilliantly as a rambot, getting underneath stuff easily.

Badnik, of course. ;) But if you flip it a number of times, your hits pay pass through the collision and damage the chassis too.

Impossible343, they are robots that we haven't yet acquired permission for and may get the axe if we can't track them down. But it does need updating!

JD, Steak, Alex. Thank you guys! Much appreciated as always!  :bigsmile:



I've done a little bit of word this weekend out of pure boredom. Figured I could so without the photographs for skins so once again I conjured up my own skin. That's another team finished now!

Thanks lads really appreciate it. It's fine, it was expected but any death takes it's toll on you innit? I'm just looking after my family and helping with funeral planning ect. So many phone calls and everyone has a depressive tone so it's hard to perk up.

If I catch a break I'll try and finish off the next robot before the funeral. Longest this break will be is probably 2 weeks.

And things gets worse, there's plenty of rum in the cupboard!

Thank you guys. If it wasn't for you guys being consistently supportive of the production of this Mod and the odd personal matters then we wouldn't have kept the strength up to continue this. Thanks again everyone!

Finally with the help of Daleksec7, we've managed to roll this out of the workshops. Is Matthew Pearmans new featherweight 'Boneyard.' EDIT: Which Jarvis Actually designed for him in the first place! The design has changed drastically throughout it's construction and this model is based on a particular 'moment' during it's build. :rage Probably should've waiting till he finished it but hey ho!

I know there's been a few cases of this around lately so just restating, even though it's on the front page.

PLEASE do not ask when this pack will be out.
PLEASE do not make requests unless they are asked for, the bot list has been confirmed now.
PLEASE do not ask for the bots that have been removed.
PLEASE do not ask for the pack early.

Thanks.

We're actually starting to near the end of production - no this doesn't mean we know when it'll be finished or when it'll be released, but things are progressing nicely. Keep your cool and maybe soon it'll be with you. :)

I'm surprised people have only just noticed that we've almost completed the Mod.
A few more robots are being dropped but a few new (unlisted classic) robots have been taking their places.
It just depends on when I Like Tacos can finish sorting out the arena. I should mention, most of the new arenas will be postponed for DLC rather than initial release, just so you guys can get this sooner rather  than later.

Join me in wishing him the best of luck getting it ready for the Featherweight championships. And also Jarvis with Flow at the champs too.

I was just sent a link to this thread and wanted to say that you are doing a damn good job so far with the replica's I was incredibly impressed by the ones for my robots and look forward to getting to try them out in the game :)

900 is a 'maybe' that Mouldy and me conjured up in our heads to cause a little hell in the HW class. Who knows, it may exist soon time in the near future. ;)

Great to see you on here Will! This is a good place for you to advertise your kits, a lot of members I can guarantee will be very interested. ;)

@thesnowingsteak, very true haha.


Right, this didn't take long as it was a quick cut, shut & shrink from Foxic's chassis. It's Dizzy Evo.

900 is a 'maybe' that Mouldy and me conjured up in our heads to cause a little hell in the HW class. Who knows, it may exist soon time in the near future. ;)
That would be cool to have realistic looking bots like that on a player controlled team. Just an idea.

As for Mute, I'm going to avoid any more crappy puns and just say it looks fantastic and easily one of your best replicas. Keep up the stellar work, you never cease to amaze.

I'm sorry HB. But I cannot find a single fault with your mute replica. It is complete perfection! Also, i don't think you, could ever accidentally screw up a replica, HB.

Thanks for the comments guys, very pleased you all like Mute! It somersaults and ootas itself very well in the game.  :facepalm:


If any of you keep up with Facebook, you'll noticed that a good friend of ours said his robot was free to a good home on April Fools day. ;) and someone from this forum thought he was serious. :P

Either way I've made it, it's non other than Hatchet.

Hi new member! Welcome to the forums. No, there is no download as it's not complete. I'll leave this here just in case

(previously the 'Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components' thread)

PLEASE do not ask when this pack will be out.
PLEASE do not make requests unless they are asked for, the bot list has been confirmed now.
PLEASE do not ask for the bots that have been removed.
PLEASE do not ask for the pack early.

If I know you've read this message and any of the above are carried out, I will apply a warn.
If people have problems with this, speak to me.
Thanks.

Adam Brewer, welcome to the forum. The mod won't be released until it's finished really, and we haven't got an expected release date yet!

Badnik, maybe you do get a free hat... Only one way to find out! :rage

Impossible343 and UnknownRerbertz, Thor is definitely still on the list, it wasn't been started yet but it should take too long to knock up. It's actually very simple! I'm just worried on whether RA2 will give it justice. I've beefed Terrorhurtz up massively but it still doesn't feel as powerful as Bonk! (Makes sense is. A technical aspect since TH Is low pressure and Bonk! Is high pressure. But I know which you'd like to feel more powerful.


This afternoons work...
Tiz a Great Pumkin innit? I did this half a year ago and thought I lost the file. So today I found it and knocked up the latest wedge. Now we're playing with fire!

So aye, been getting as many robots as I can done, but the computer has been crashing the program and I've had to let it cool down ect before I reattempt to finish each mesh from the last save. So the quality isn't as good as usual, plus I would've got a lot more done if this hadn't have been happening!

Same reason as Kronic etc. Owned by a different company, so when this became an official RW mod, it became an issue having bots which advertised other companies. I hope everyone knows full well we'd include it if we could.

It should be, I doubt Click will have forgotten. He's got the files so it should be cush.

It's not just Razer and Kronic don't forget. There's Merlin, UFO, Predator, Venom. Then there's Battlebots competitions we can't do either being under the Robot Wars brand. The RA2 community is lucky they don't try suing the creators for the Battlebots AI packs. They are quite strict with legal stuff.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on April 21, 2015, 07:46:59 AM
If any of them are released at all, they will be with DSL 2.2, and that's Click's territory. I imagine all the parts will be balanced his way. They're not being packaged in any way for this mod because they're not coming out with it.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Garfie489 on April 21, 2015, 07:58:59 AM
At the end of the day, you guys are extremely lucky that any of these robots will be coming to you - and beggars can't be choosers.

The mod team are working very hard on creating loads of new in game bots, and if you feel self righteous enough to complain  that one or two bots are being left out then frankly you don't deserve to have any of the robots at all.

The mods are having alot of fun playing with this game, there's no real reason to give it out to anyone else really if they don't appreciate what's been created. The quality level is amazing, far beyond anything else which has ever been created - so really, who the hell cares if Razer isn't in it. Razer isn't robot wars, the over a hundred robots which are in it make up robot wars - because robotic combat is terrible when it's just one robot.

So as said, you can either take the mod as it is, or don't take it at all - your choice. The mod teams doing the best job they can, and there is nothing anyone can say that will change what gets made in the mod
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Jaydee99 on April 21, 2015, 10:14:15 AM
I think everyone was hyped up for Razer because it's probably the most accurate we've ever seen on RA2.
Being said, I think everyone that isn't a mod, me, should just sit tight and just wait. No matter who and who isn't included in this.

Thanks guys! Weird mAlice was probably the easiest mesh I've ever done tbh. I was lucky to find the pictures I used to the final textures.

Kurt, Drumroll is just temporarily removed until I find a better spot for it. Jarvis would kill me if I left it out haha.

Anyway. It's getting a bit nippy this evening isn't it?

JD, kind of. I've made the majority myself to be honest. Feel like. I have more control over how the robots act that way.



Anywhore...

Did a quick revamp of my old Storm 2 mesh last night, figured it would be better bringing it up to date-ish. It has been almost a year since I made it after all!

When Storm was at robogames, they did a quick modification of the lifter for their Sewer Snake battle so that it could self right. It didn't last long but it's quite similar to the feather I'm (slowly) building, and it's different!

I'm glad we have this.  Storm 2 is one of my favorite bots I prefer the series 7 arm but I'll get use to this.

Oh and btw looking at the list I noticed some bots have a / next to them is it because their on hold until you get the rights or is it something else?

JD I've deleted the old version because wasn't perfect enough. But I'll see what I can do about including another version of this Storm. Mind remember 4 bar lifters don't work properly, or looks good on a piston either. (DSL)

Snowing steak, the dashes are for robots we haven't acquired permission for yet although it needs an update. Two extra teams have been added too but I'll leave them out for the time being.



Anyway, another revamp! St Agro to Maelstrom!

Yeah I tried to confine the details to a single texture and keep the poly count down. On the bright side, less chances of lag!

It certainly will, but only for players. I've learned my lesson after getting shot of the old Storm II.  ;)

And hasn't been for well over 10 years. If you don't like modern robots, KW, don't use them. It's actually very difficult to get permission for robots that haven't had anything to do with the scene since before 2002, Knight's doing an amazing job with it. Actually kinda disrespectful to people keeping it all going to go and put their work down, if anything.

Thanks guys.

What Craig said about Storm 2. Reason for that is because 4 bar lifters looks pathetic in RA2 so it's better not to use them at all. Sometimes we for have a choice but this time we did!



Guys I know what you all mean it isn't the same anymore. In the past it was unpredictable what replica would be dished out, now we've got the list in plain sight... But mind. Is all been changing quicker than I can edit the post.

If it's the charm of the old reps compared to these. Yeah everything you see in the game has been gradually given a texture upgrade, not just these replicas. Why? It's a sign of progression and modernisation. We're making the game more realistic in as many aspects as we can for your enjoyment. Yes it really isn't Really RA2 anymore, or DSL or Ironforge. But you'll be able to Import your old bots and see how much more realistic they look.

If yous feel like the charm of the classics is gone, well done worry. It hasn't, we've been able to get more out of the classics than before. There's some things that's we're not going to show you because.... Well that would spoil the fun!




Oh and small updatey, Ripper has been upgraded. As have a few other bots but we arnt telling. ;)

Also there may be a small competition soon.... Stay tuned!

Hahaha oops :P I'm a bit annoyed actually. The flipper .gmf used to be 386kb and with those tiny upgrades excluding the new texture is now 1364kb and it's causing the game to slightly lag. How the hell that happened I don't know but I'm annoyed about it.  :facepalm:


Here's a question I've been meaning to ask, how many pictures/views of each robot do you get?

Depends on the complexity of the shape and texture to be honest. For ripper about 8 photos were used but for Manta, because the texture is simpler and mirrored on either side only two photos were used, one of the side and one of the top of the flipper and the arse end was photoshopped up using the side texture.  A robot like Ricochet though I'd only need only photograph of it, if it's captured the front, top and side at decent angles then the top panel is repeated as it's base and it's side panel repeated as it's arse.

I can work without textures and conjure up my own. The new and old ripper flipper skins were 80% photoshopped from thin air only using the weld lines and scratches to make it appear more realistic and shaped.

It kind of looks like a first draft of Tricerabot.  Looks good as always.  How will RA3 scuttle your plans?  You can still release your thing as a fanmande mod, can't you?  Not all old games are automatically too obsolete to draw an audience - World of Warcraft and TF2 for one.

Cheers lads. After this weekend I'll be working on downsizing the poly count and (sadly) remaking a couple of arenas because they're too high in poly count and get the buggers exported!

The arenas called 'The Death Facility,' named by Craaig. It's a cross between the Magazine Death Zone arena from the first page of this thread crossed with the combots arena. There's two oota zones either side on the LCD screen behind low walls and because of the lack of space outside the arena, some robots can save themselves and get back in, much like combots! Good for an interesting HW tourny if someone wants to use it in future.

Are all new arenas going to be realistic or more like the DSL ones?

Defiantly getting rid of a load of the DSL arenas. In the list i made which i think is what we are generally sticking to there are only 3 left.

Realsim is a key point, however its not over riding. The main thing is the arenas need to be interesting in themselves, with tactical usage of hazards and no overbearing features.

Good example is Cave will go, because it needs a flat floor to have a fair competition. Electric Arena 1 also has a rather big unavoidable hazard in the middle (the tazer type grill), when you have to stick to the edge of the arena its not the kind of fighting we are going for.

Few other ones need serious consideration for either being to basic, needing a complete reskin, being to similar to other arenas, or just simply because they dont play well. We dont want any weak arenas, they need to all be strong to a degree.

The "Hazards Enabled" checkbox is a thing for a reason and what Thyrus said. Use that and you can turn off that giant electric grid and it's just fine for an arena as it gives loads of room to fight and is more than a traditional square box. Plus if at least two bots are on the grid, then it won't do anything at all. The realism I would agree with you on that though. Not quite sure if that would work in real life or not.

Oh yeah. The new Arena. Looking fantastic. Two questions though:

1. What's up with the images being reversed? Graphic mapping error?

Garfie was using the electric arena as an example. It's a stock arena so we can't necessarily remove it but I'm in the same mind as Garfie about it, it's either too much box with hazards on or too much vibrating buzzes with the hazards on.

Redace, I took the first snapshot off my mobile. Didn't spot mirrored logo textures either side of the screen before. My fault!

Some of us want these arenas tbh. Thats what made RA2 a bit different. Can we possibly have a list of which ones are removed?
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Lemonism on May 14, 2015, 04:57:44 AM
It's really not hard to add any missing arenas back in, it's not like removing them from the mod means deleting them from time and space. I have no idea why anyone thinks it's such a big deal, just be happy that we're getting some new arenas.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: HereticBlue on May 14, 2015, 04:59:04 AM
Before people start panicking. This mod uncludes a collection of other custom arenas and components released over the years aswell as our own. This is the mod where all the stuff you weren't allowed to use in tourneys before become allowed.

Having such a large collection of everyone's productivity over the past decade means a lot of MBs. And considering the new RW components take up more MBs than DSL we've had to drop the custom stuff that is deemed as not good enough or pointless (like reskinned copies of arenas or arenas that cause massive lag or crash... Like the cave, mars and onslaught arenas for example).

If you want to keep the old arenas. Just install them onto a clean copy of RA2 Then install the mod afterwards.

Sounds awesome and looks awesome cannot wait for everything about this mod. Has the list of robots been shortened recently? Will anything be happening with the older robots you made but are no longer including?
Thanks

Are these custom parts balanced? Also, you guys have slaved away at this for ages, so if it arrives without all arenas we wanted, lets shut up.

We are now mostly finished with the Robot Wars Live arena, and have exported it into the game for testing.

Heres the first in game screenshot :)

Don't see what's with the sarcasm, that was an honest question.
Given that St Agro was replaced by Maelstrom and that there's a newer version of Gravity in the pack it seems fair enough to ask.

The way you're all talking would suggest you'd prefer an old machine to a new one. Really? They're very similar apart from appearance...

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Somebody on May 24, 2015, 08:20:46 AM
U think they're trying to figure out if it's some copyright issue or reason causing Gravity to have to come out, or if Hades is a new addition just for the sake of having it.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

I like both as much as each other.

Post by: Lemonism on May 24, 2015, 08:53:51 AM
The way you're all talking would suggest you'd prefer an old machine to a new one. Really?
Well, Robot Wars was a huge part of my childhood, and I think that's true with many people here. If I were offered the choice between Gravity (which I have good memories of) and Hades (which I have only just seen) I would pick Gravity, no question.
It's not that I would prefer to have a less powerful/less advanced robot, it's that I would prefer a robot I remembered fondly, and is like a part of my childhood, for lack of better words.
But obviously that decision is not up to me, and I understand why not all of the old robots can be included, and that's fine. I love the new robots as well as the old ones, Dystopia is one of my favourite robots alongside Chaos 2, for example. But I also understand why people would be unhappy that the robots they remember won't be present.

If Gravity 3 is released, it will likely be in the expansion.
We're sorting team lists as we speak and it's likely the first release will contain around 30 (!) teams of 3 robots both new and old (team number subject to change on circumstances, obviously). Many old favourites will be there, and maybe some cool robots you guys haven't paid enough attention to too. :P

As the finishing touches are taking a little longer than we had hoped, here's a couple of sneaky previews to tide you over.

First off, here's the new model for Tough as Nails!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23648TAN.jpg)

Following that up, here's the robot that made one of our competition winners modify their entry's name - Mantis!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7458Mantis.jpg)

And now, some arenas. First off, one of the coolest arenas I think I've seen in some time, this is the Roundhouse Arena, modelled by Knight!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42821RoundhouseArena.jpg)

Finally, a perhaps more conventional arena, if that's how you prefer them - the League of Champs Arena!

Really liking the look of Mantis. Can't wait to drive it around, not enough decent crushers in RA2.

The whole thing is looking fantastic as usual.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Lemonism on July 09, 2015, 05:00:37 PM
Tough as Nails and Mantis both look awesome, as do the arenas, Roundhouse arena especially.

I may as well say now that I was the one who drew Orchid Mantis, and at the time I didn't know if there was or wasn't another robot called Mantis, so I had Orchid Mantis as my backup name. I'm still happy with Orchid Mantis as a name though :)
Also, now everyone knows I'm a far better artist in RA2 than in real life :P

Can't answer I343's question (although I believe nearing all are done) but RpJk, the current build (still not finished) is somewhere over 1.6-1.7GB compared to DSL2's meagre 700-ishMB.
Okay yeah, with a size like that this thing is going on my external hard drive when I download it... I'm guessing the high resolution textures, and amount of content have something to do with the files size?

Post by: cephalopod on July 22, 2015, 10:22:34 AM
At this stage I can't confirm we'll be including Terrorhurtz, but even if we can't, there will be a whole bunch of awesome axes.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Probably Rob on July 22, 2015, 02:23:27 PM
B-, but... it's listed as complete
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Badnik96 on July 22, 2015, 07:44:44 PM
Just because the model is complete doesn't mean they have permission to use it.

Which is a right shame, really. Had this mod not gone and been all "official" we could have gotten so many other cool bots.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Philippa on July 22, 2015, 08:10:51 PM

I agree totally. I've already said it before anyway.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on July 23, 2015, 04:11:30 AM
So many? Hardly. Put it this way, when all is said and done there will be somewhere near 150 replicas of bots old and new.
Plus we're working on sorting something else out for some other bots. I really shouldn't be saying even that much.
Please, complaining about the mod gives no incentive to get it released to you.

Is TerrorHurtz the modern version or the RW version?
I know Wham made a RW version a while back, and I think Wham turned over all his stuff to HB, I have no clue if that means it's the same model though.
At this stage I can't confirm we'll be including Terrorhurtz,
B-but that's not even the answer to question he asked. He just wanted to know what version was used as a model
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on July 23, 2015, 04:40:57 AM
As far as I was aware, the post-RW version IS the RW S7 version.

Yeah, but it never got to fight so you only saw it in the pits. I think he means the Series 5 - Extreme 2 version.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: HereticBlue on July 23, 2015, 06:10:28 AM
I can confirm that Terrorhurtz will not be in the mod. It and Razer are both team Robochallenge, a river buisness that, if they were to be included would mean that you all would have to pay for their inclusion. It is a shame because we were hoping to include both versions of THZ.

But, Thor, Bonk! And _____ are far more powerful, they're the ones to watch for! And that's not mentioning the other axes and hammers in the game, ready to raise a bit of hell!

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Probably Rob on July 23, 2015, 06:45:14 AM
I would gladly pay for Terrorhurtz, Razer I never and don't give a [word] about, but Terrorhurtz, yes please

I can't remember if someone already asked this: Why are all the textures super dinged up? Just because it's easier to makea texture with photos of the robot as it is? Or was having them look realistic and undamaged not very visually appealing?

Also a little interested in Sewer Snake, lifters look cool to operate.

Having the robots "realistic and undamaged" is counter intuitive. Its like asking for a hot iced tea.

These robots start to look damaged and scratched after their first event. Even the new look Dystopia already has visual signs of wear and tear - and its only been to 1 competition.

If you want the robots to look realistic, then youll have to accept they will look damaged.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Somebody on August 16, 2015, 11:48:19 PM
Probably as unstable as RA2 usually is haha. Will all of the robots be in the import folder for when you download the mod? I see that as a big draw as well, to fight with all of your favorite robots. Giving them all a common start to the file would be helpful also to bunch them together.

Guys, I'd like to say that I'm very sorry for what I said. I cant really remember what I said, but whatever it was, I think it was just out of jealousy. Reason being because I cant do anything like this. You guys are like techno-master's while I'm just a loser who has nothing to go for in life. And I ain't joking. My life sucks. I'm really sorry for any pain and offence I have caused to the creators of this mod. Speaking of the mod, saw the trailer and only one thing went through my mind.

WHAT THE HELL?! Just when I think you guys have outdone yourselves, you go and pull a stunt like this and prove me wrong. You guys are f***ing gods! Keep up the good work, guys. Sucks no bot went in the pit in the trailer, but well, who cares? This is the best and greatest thing to ever hit Gametchmods.com in the history of Modification and Development.

PLEASE do not ask when this pack will be out.
PLEASE do not make requests unless they are asked for, the bot list has been confirmed now.
PLEASE do not ask for the bots that have been removed.
PLEASE do not ask for the pack early.

If I know you've read this message and any of the above are carried out, I will apply a warn.

That's a good way to look at it.  You could also say it's a way the team can do ideas that they wanted to but never made the eventual release.

Either way, it'll take a bit of work and knowledge of RA2 to simply 'add' bits from that to the new mod, and we'd recommend not to do it for balance reasons, and bots might not fit in terms of skin or scale.

From that six, that could mean a number of things. Either it's coming out in six days, or even October 6th. Or maybe it could mean something leading into an even bigger conspiracy theory.

...Right, Megabyte. cool. I'm hyped.

Badnik had the closest guess, but instead of Megabyte not being finished in time which it has been for aaages, it was me not being happy with an image for '7' before midnight UK time. :P

Pretty much the same for me. I can't exactly remember how old I was when I first saw robot wars but, since I first saw it, I have always wanted a good robot combat game that could capture the true feel of Robot Wars and the games officially released never really portrayed what it was really like and having poor physics. I'm not saying RA2 has fantastic physics, but at least flippers work correctly and crushers are okay. Since then, I have loved RA2 because it was all I wanted in a Robot Wars game and now that there is going to be a huge Robot Wars mod pack for it, I am really excited :)

I only registered for about a month, but I've been lurking for many years, and I saw the project from the begining, and the increase in quality as the project moved on. Some of these replicas are so acurate, they looked like photos of the real things!
Since this has realistic robots, I will definately try making a replica of my feather that I'm working on currently.
Thanks for the hard work!

I became a member ages ago but spend virtually all my time lurking on this thread, it's been quite the journey to follow it from its humble beginnings to what will hopefully be quite the big bang! I can't even make a single decent robot in RA2 so how you guys have managed all this is quite something. Do yourselves a favour and have a nice long drink on the day of release. :)


P.S - Nice also to see Bigger Brother doing to Typhoon what it should've done right at the start of Heat O in Series 7... ;)


Edit: P.P.S - is that a Series 2 style arena in the background? The top right of the photo reminds me of those odd shaped things at the side of the arena from series 1 and 2.

As for size, big. Can confirm download size later on as I'm working on compiling the installer now, but you'll need enough room to download it and then install it too. If you have north of 4gb free, you should be fine.

I have to say lads, it's been a brilliant journey getting to know the gametechmods community again after a decade and finally delivering something for you all to have and enjoy.

To think Wham started this back in 2013, having no idea what it would turn into when everything was passed down to me in 2014 to join my work at the time. We joined the Official Robot Wars brand, that changed a lot for us, in quite a few ways it meant we couldn't do what we wanted to do... But in another it opened things up a hell of a lot more, getting roboteers from across the globe contributing.  2015 was a slow start but with new methods learned and new techniques developed, we managed to bring more to the mod than previously. Now we're almost there and despite a few niggles here and there and wishing we had more time before the deadline... (That's right, the release date was planned for quite a while haha) but we've made it to the end of what is only the beginning.

Don't forget we are releasing expansions and updates for this over time so head over to Facebook and like our page, all the future releases will be coming from there! And be sure to spread the word. ;)

All the best,
Adam

Post by: RedAce on September 16, 2015, 08:06:04 PM
Alright, since it's almost here, I'll just say this spiel now.  For about 2 years, (1 year and 11 months if we're being picky) I didn't know what to think of how this mod would come to be.  I thought this would be an expansion of already existing Robot Wars mods with an coat of High Definition paint.  As development went on, I was heavily disproved.  Throughout the time, I started to grow fond of this mod and follow it pretty closely which made me look differently at RA2 and Robot wars as a whole.  Who knows?  maybe it'll spread like wildfire and bring even bigger life for the RA2 and Robot Wars community to those not even that familiar with this mod or the previously mentioned communities in general like say: Project M.  I know that is incredibly wishful thinking, but hey, it deserves to be that way as this has been a mod that has taken all the time it has needed.  I also have to admit, I kinda wish I could've helped with the development team in some way other than being supportive.  It makes me feel heartbroken that I couldn't have helped with development.

But all that aside, Robot Wars RA2 Development Team, I salute you and thanks for your hard work and contribution.

Reading this has actually made me very emotional. I've been waiting for the next big breakthrough in RA2 for qutie some time, and this is the first TRUE TC mod since DSL 2.1 - DSL3, Ironforge, JoeBlo's old project... all very valiant attempts, and bloody good fun to play, but not a true TC mod that makes the game feel fresh again. This is the first big breakthrough in close to 12 years, and this game and community thoroughlyy deserve it.

I look forward to rekindling the weeks I spent messing around wtih the replicas, like how I did when I first found out about DSL 2.1 - every single person who worked on this mod, I salute you. You've done the GTM community a great service, and I'm honoured to have stayed around long enough to see this come to fruition. I personally have been waiting for this day for nearly 4 years, and I know some people have been waiting much, much longer.  Here's hoping it'll spike the popularity of RA2 similar to how DSL did when it released.

I know NerdCubed would be very interested in playing this mod, but sadly I'm unable to get in contact with him. Getting NerdCubed to review and play through this would generate a massive spike in traffic, and is needed. Somebody, contact him, tell him a true Robot Wars experience is here.

Heretic, Craaig, Dalek and the others... God bless you. You've worked you deserve every word of praise you get from this. If you ever come down to Bradford, I'll buy you a pint.

Funny you mention that. We actually shot him an email (it's on his YT channel in the 'About' section) yesterday. He hasn't replied yet, but we did get a response from another English YouTuber who said he's willing to give the mod a shot.  ;)

Just cos a few of you favourite bots wasn't/aren't included there wasn't really any need for what you ended up saying, regardless of how much time they put into it which in this case is a lot. Should respect the whole team who has been working on it free of charge for the community. Am I the only one who feels that it doesn't feel right to be free? Like need to give something back?

I'm assuming, because he did it near enough bang on 4PM, it'll be released midnight. Or, midnight tomorrow, if he decides to do a '1' poster at midnight and then release it exactly 24 hours later.

My dreams have now come true I have been waiting nearly 10 years for something like this to happen the robot wars games were good but they didn't give me the feeling I would have expected from robot wars. How ever robot arena had given me that and now to be so close to witnessing one of the best mods that could have ever happened to the robot wars community I would just like to say a massive thank you to every one who supported this idea and of course the developers behind it. Every single one of you have done brilliantly thank you for all your hard work. Now here's a challenge for the forum once the release is upon us how about we attempt to raises its awareness by making it trend on Twitter

Couple of things on my first startup.

- Wouldn't let me switch to fullscreen. Any attempts to change settings or resolution were met with the game going to Not Responding.
- Decided to go straight into a battle instead. Selected the RW Live arena, selected Iron Awe 2 as my robots, but when I tried to select Bulldog Breed from the first team as the opponent, the game went to Not Responding as well.

Anyone else encountering similar issues? I'm doing a PC restart now to see if that helps, and Windows is updating, so I'm hoping that has something to do with it.

I've been having a lot of problems with RA2 in general since I installed Windows 10, I'm thinking it's probably a compatibility issue. :/

I've been having a lot of problems with RA2 in general since I installed Windows 10, I'm thinking it's probably a compatibility issue. :/

Shouldn't be- I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and, after the first no response, got everything working properly.

Also, Scrap- tried that. My Orbit starts behind the robot, then orbits around the arena instead of staying behind the robot.

Front page this mod. NOW.

EDIT: My god I love this.

2 gripes I found:

A few of the Axebots (Thor, for instance) have a tendency to havok.
Xterminator 2's axe is too weak, in terms of DPS and hitpoints. In fact, a lot of the RW2 replicas are weaker in terms of DPS and hitpoints than the Roaming Robots bots. What's up with that?

Q&A

Q: Why have you changed the orbit camera?
A: Simple. We didn't. :P

Q: WHERE IS -insert robot here-?!? YOU MADE A MODEL AND IT IS NOT HERE.
A: We either couldn't get permission or the model wasn't up to standard, and the modellers were too busy working on the literal truckload of other reps. ;)

Q: Axebots havok occasionally. Why?
A: RA2. Hahah, sorry about that. There are some things we just can't mod.

Q: The retro bots seem a little weak. How come?
A: Because they are weak. Fun fact for you, wanna know why everyone was SO SCARED of Hypnodisc? Eric (recently under ownership of our team member Riptide) has a total armour thickness of... 1/2mm titanium. I'm putting at least 6x that on the front of my BEETLEWEIGHT.

Q: Is this mod just for IRL?
A: Primarily, yes.

Q: House robots?
A: Soon.

Q: I AM PLAYZOOKI AND-
A: Stop.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Badnik96 on September 18, 2015, 01:44:02 AM
Okay I just spent pretty much 5 hours playing this thing. It's excellent.

For those of you that don't know, Robot Designs has the bot file of every bot in the mod, plus a few extras. These are:
-Explosion 1
-Breaker Box with 360 degree weapon control
-Several variants of Sewer Snake
-Manta US (unchanged from Wham's mod)
-Iron Awe 2.1
-Tanto
-St. Agro

Also a ton of components. I'm in love with the way they did the asymmetrical weapons.

I'll just post my quick thoughts here and there's good news and Bad news.

Good News: An absolute fantastic job by the team. There's more care in this mod than in a lot of games I've played recently. You can see the love put in it.

Bad News: I thought this would be the thing that would get me back into RA2 but sadly I think I've grown out of it. Nothing to do with you guys but thats how I feel.

Great Mod people.

Post by: HereticBlue on September 18, 2015, 04:05:39 AM
Thank you so much for the positive feedback so far guys! :) It really means a lot to us.

Admittedly some arenas aren't finished and theres not even 1/4 of the new weapons we wanted to include, simply due to time constraints. But Either way we didn't want to make you guys wait any longer to try out these replicas and get the classic feel of Robot Wars, RW Arenas of Destruction and RW Live all rolled into one.

Some things have changed from regular mods, like the assembly of spinners, crushers and some axes. They are two/three piece components that have to be mounted to a mega adapter and rotated into position. Spinners have an invisible half because the collision is only for one single tooth, so you need to hit F12 and rotate the invisible half until the collision is 180 degrees from the visible part of the drum. This does seem like time wasting but.... It does mean you hit your opponents a lot harder than before and ootas with verticals are very much possible. The motors and lips battery, believe it or not, if you get these components in real life you will get the same amount of oomph. The team is built of roboteers so we've had a play with most of these ourselves. Oh and I hope the music & sfx upgrade for the arenas and UI helps you get that RWED feel.


Thank you so much lads, either way it's great to see that you're all enjoying yourselves and you're all happy with the mod. It's nice to see that the majority of you have remembered we've done this with our spare time for the fans, and aren't complaining like they've paid us for it.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Ducky on September 18, 2015, 05:21:40 PM
Seems awesome from experimenting so far, yet another congratulations to the whole team involved, worth the wait! :claping Initially seemed prone to crashing on Windows 10 playing in a window, but good ol' Run as Administrator and/or Compatibility Mode sorted that and it hasn't crashed since!
Just a few constructive thoughts for the future, certainly not trying to sound ungrateful or anything aha!

- I get a "no disc inserted" message when starting, though it is easily cleared by clicking continue, anyone else had this?
- The hi-res replicas look amazing, especially for someone who is rather OCD for quality like me! The only one I've noticed so far is that Hypno-Disc's textures look noticeably lower res than the rest? Can easily just swap them with the extracted RW: ED ones though.
- Again the original Robot Wars arenas look brill and hi-res! Though it is a great alternative as it is, is the Series 7 arena a tad dark and should be more blue tinged to be screen accurate? (I also swapped the hzd_trapdoor_loop.wav sound for an original Pit Siren recording, and the Cease voice to an original recording).
- The Mega Adapter sounds useful for us slightly less experienced builders! Seems to be a good selection of components.
- Felt nice and nostalgic playing the RW: AOD / ED arenas!
- The menus all look slick and professional now, and again nostalgic to have the good ol' AOD / ED menu music!

As you can see I'm a stickler for original Robot Wars, so am not very familiar with the young upstart live event robots, but using them in this mod is a good way to get to know them! Though contrary to that I think the Robot Wars Live Arena is my fave at the moment, looks perfect! Obvs its a shame about the omitted robots but totally understand why they are so don't want to be another to moan about that!
But yes, there are many more praises I could list than constructive thoughts, but I think everyone else summed those up really! :claping

The events have always crashed now and again for me, like since ra2 was released.

Ducky, thank you so much. It's great to know you're over the moon with everything and whatever issues you have, you've been willing to make them better for yourself... Means less stress for us haha. The textures arnt as High res as I would like and Hypnodisc is partially from Whams mod and the rest was my early day modding, and if you look back to the start of the thread it was a completely different look. The only reason why it remained unchanged is a high res upgrade would mean a new mesh aswell but I got Hypnodisc running so well, I didn't want to faff with it. Who knows, I might try for the expansion. :)

As for the no disc inserted thing, that's confusing. It hasn't happened to anyone that I'm aware of.

Yug, we were go into include it originally but it just made all the new camera angles ect a bit pointless and the frame rate was damn awful so we reverted the .py back to normal.

Battlebots 247, what exactly is crashing mate? What version of Windows/OS you using? And did you install it into program files?


To everyone who is having problems downloading, PM me, Craaig or Knight and we will give you a temporary link.

I tried to play with Atom Smasher but the game crashed lol. Can you use Stock/DSL bots in this mod at all?

Sure... If you add all the stock and DSL components into the game.

Stop asking stupid questions. You've been here for 6 years. You know how RA2 works.
It's not a stupid question. I want to make things clear by asking from the mod creators themselves.
No, its a stupid question. And you even tested it. Why even post that?
STFU.

Seriously. Is it possible to play with DSL bots with this mod or not? I want to make this clear because I want to use my DSL IRL designs in this.

Just copy/paste the DSL components into the RWRA2 components folder and you'll be able to start using them. None of the replicas use any DSL parts, as far as I'm aware, so it won't crash any of th AI.

Noisy Cricket in the Challenge a Champ event then  :p
And it will be the last one I do.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33665fyeah.png)

Oh good God.  I finally did it.  It took three hours, one giant headache, several meltdowns and metal dizziness, but I did it.  I put the troll face for the logo for both of us.  And you also want me to try it with Saint?  Hell no.  It would be less painful to build a Twn Twrn replica in DSL and that's with minimal detail.  Either way, it looks like you got the last laugh here HB.

...Oh yeah, maybe I should get back on topic.  After all, you did release this mod to us so I guess it would be fair if I give my thoughts on this.

As far as a mod goes, it's fantastic. The replicas look beautiful and very well detailed, as well as the arenas which are fun to go through.  The UI and music do a great job of making me feel like I'm playing a Robot Wars game.  Some parts kinda feel a bit rushed though, and that's some of the collision meshes which kinda gives me a weird feeling when playing.  Also, some component reblancing might help fix some of the collision mesh issues.  But regardless, no matter how much I would go on about this, the pros would outweigh the cons here and some cons are things in RA2 that no one would fix.  Fans of Robot Wars would really get a kick out of this and maybe those not so familiar to the franchise could probably have fun with this as well.

Score: I'll give it a 9.5/10.  In my opinion, it just falls short of the rushed elements and some of those problems would just be nit-picking.  But still, it's fun and enjoyable.  Thanks to everyone who spent two years making something awesome.

One thing that bothers me is that when I made a robot, it got pretty quick destroyed by Titan or any other destructive bots, even though it did have Steel armor. Are you guys considering to do any changes to the armors or giving ability to play with the DSL IRL designs for the future updates?

Really liking the mod so far and I'm thankful for everyone who has been been part of the project.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

Apparently the armours are just the stock armours - so DSA will be the best.

Much better than your previous question.

I can only assume that the DSL bots would either be extremely overpowered or incredibly weak, considering they're from two completely different mods.

Post by: cephalopod on September 19, 2015, 07:15:45 PM
We'll look into armour, but this is a separate tc mod to DSL so I can't say with any certainty we'd even try to make it fully compatible with DSL. After all, HB and the others worked on new components for a reason ;)

Hey I remember this guy!  :gawe:
Haha, hey there :gawe: feels like you've had that avatar since forever

I've barely got anything other than praise for this mod, guys... And it's mostly just echoing what everybody else has said, so it's kinda pointless. But I've got a couple of odd details to share ;p
The Instructions still mention Exhibition and Team HQ modes... Actually, by the way, has anybody else even read it?
I also thought there would be an installer
as I'm working on compiling the installer now,

But whatever.. While I've barely had time to play, so far it's been a lot of fun! The RWED music and stuff are nice details, reminds me of those days I'd never step away from the computer.
I've messed around with the entire featherweight (?) lineup and found pretty much anything that's not a flipper or pusher to be pretty hard to beat with Little Nipper (which is what I've been using the most) without falling back to luring foes into the pit or oota... Which for some reason is stupid easy to do. I recall reading somewhere the arenas were unfinished, is that it?

I don't know what else I wanted to say and I'm running out of time here, so... Well, awesome job guys :gawe: I'm looking forward to anything else you come up with sometime in the future ;)

Edit: Forgot to say it would be nice to at least see a mention of the mod at robotwars.tv, after all the work you guys put in and the name and legal stuff and... Am I just not looking hard enough?

@Larrain, thanks for the support. In answer to some of your questions...
-I expect the instructions have been largely useless, I only wrote them in case anyone was completely new to ra2 and had 0 idea what was happening.
-We had a few issues with the installer, hence the slightly delayed release. There are copies on the net but some of the team couldn't get it working for them.
-the RW site will be mentioning us, unfortunately Jonnos been at the World Champs (naturally seem as though he's running them and entering) so hasn't had the chance to update it.

Also, Rhys, yes but you'd have to learn how to do it yourself sneakily. Legal stuff, youknow :P.

Sorry the 100+ replicas aren't enough for you :L
Each update will add a few teams. It took 2 years to make what you currently have so imagine the speed the modelling guys would have to work at to add massive packs relatively quickly. There's a balance between time and quality. The quality is most important.

Aye I'm a pleb haha. You'll need one of these if you have a wireless controller. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=301551727565&globalID=EBAY-GB (http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=301551727565&globalID=EBAY-GB)

It's much better than using a bollocks keyboard. Sad thing though, RA2 likes to gan all sensitive with the thumbsticks. Still worth it though. ;)

If the robots don't fall apart while facing spinners in the game, they won't in real life. The curse of Hardox armour it just never sods off. Oh it's brilliant when you use it yourself though!

If the robot KO's because of countless flips, then it will also happen in real life. Flipper do cause damage, unless your robot is built like a tank. Gives you more insentive to not got flipped though haha.

chassis armour defeintly needs to be boosted, pretty much every replica i have fought has be ko'd before i got to knock off any parts other than wheels.

Just want to withdraw this part of my thoughts.

Bad News: I thought this would be the thing that would get me back into RA2 but sadly I think I've grown out of it. Nothing to do with you guys but that's how I feel.

I am addicted to this game now. It is absolutely fantastic. While it won't get me back into building, it has increased my interest in Robot Combat again. Playing through this along with Metal Gear Solid 5 (Still) and Project X Zone.

For a mod of a game that is over 10 years old it plays quite well.
The only downside is the outdated physics engine but that's not the team's fault.

So at a glance:

+Nostalgic
+Smooth Gameplay for a mod based on an over 10 year old game.
+Stays true to both RA2 and RW.
+Can see the love put into it. Something that's quite rare in media these days.
+God load of reps and arenas.
+Menu and Sound Design.
+It's free.

-Outdated physics engine.
-Game needs to get noticed more on big gaming websites, not only RW main site.

Overall: 38/40

Happy for you guys. I mean it.

Yeah, I also hate this. I had to use F10 before I added the action cam. Also, HB, I experienced no frame rate issues with the action cam whatsoever.

The mod it's very cool! I like the arenas and the fact that they have music, my favourites are the series 1 arenas and the Northen tour.

As far as components, I really like the mega adaptor! I can just put the batteries and other stuff that normally you can only put inside the chassis anywhere else, so you can see them when you're playing. Polycarb robots get added coolness with this!
The other component that I really like is the bulkhead, when I saw that I had to make a flipper with that!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20662s1.png)

I don't understand why the weapons are made by a tooth with the visible blade and the other tooth with the invisible blade. Couldn't you have made two visible halves or only one component with the collision being a bar? Because this happens:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/41090s2.png)
The visible part gets knocked off but the bot still has the invisible part, or the bot gets unbalanced when the invisible part comes off, but the disc still looks intact.
Same for the flippers.
 
As some other sayed, hypno disc does too much damage, and if you let the disc go to full speed and turn quikly, the disc gets unstable and the robot flips:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38222s3.png)

Some of the cameras in the arenas can be a bit too close to see where you are going, best example is the scrapyard arena's default camera. And the default camera in the series 7 arena should be the pod! :rage

Also how about this?!:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12208s4.png)

Other than this problems, the feel of robot wars is there and the amount of robots there is incredible!
Good job guys! :thumbup

Post by: HereticBlue on September 25, 2015, 03:35:43 AM
Robot Dogebotics, you're doing it wrong. 1/8

Lel @Andrew

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.  :laughing 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.

Hi guys I'm new to GTM, I have recently set up an account and my word these are absolutely incredible, they work and perform like they do in real life and I cannot express my true feelings for this fantastic game. It could easily be a game for next gen consoles, thank you all for doing this :smile: If you don't mind HB, do you think you could add the rest of the series 7 semi finalist if that's possible? however It would be fantastic with just one of them. PS the game would still be 10000000% perfect without them :bigsmile: it's just so brilliant and I appreciate all the hard work you guys do.

1. Gravity (S7)
2. X Terminator 3
3. Raging Knightmare
4. M2
5. Atomic
6. Thermidor II
7. Grim Reaper
8. Firestorm V

So lads...Dare I ask, excluding replicas because that plan is set in stone now. What do you all want to see from the mod in the future?

Come on man, it's not even an old post that says we're done sorting replicas :P
Glad to hear you're enjoying though.
On a side note, I see this is your second account on GTM - multi-accounting is technically a bannable offence here. Shall I arrange for your old account to be closed? PM me here or on FB if you have questions.



Also, Trihunter, I've got no idea what's going wrong for you. Is there any chance you could download on someone else's PC and put it onto a memory stick? We haven't heard of anyone else continually having issues like this.

First challenger was incorrectly named I meant joust because it seems possible within RA2s limits.

Remember there's a limit to what can be done within RA2. Neither of those things are possible. A bigger variety of motors might be cool so you can build a 4/6 wheel drive robot without it belting across the arena at a million miles an hour. A selection of panels with different colours or textures could be cool too.

well, with the adjustable drive motors, you could have one motor with a dropdown menu in the components section. (although i'm not sure that's what you mean)

This kind of thing has already been done before; There are two speeds of NPC-T64 in DSL, although the fast ones are heavier.

Also I am in favor of chainsaws. Because: chainsaw.

Shugger... I guess I'm doing a chainsaw then haha. I'll do it with just the motor setup so it will be pretty compact and you can hoy it in awkward places.

Paintable armour panels would be nice but yeah RA2 limits innit.

Variable speed motors, yeah We'll definitely do that for the s900's, brushless HW drive and I'll cook up Bosch and some Ampflows because they're much better than the NPC's or mags. #ReelRobittisms

Dear Datshark, Wham would spread them out but sharks. I'll see what can be done but it's such a minor thing it will probably take a back seat.

Static cams aye I'll work on them with the main arenas... Too lazy to bother with the lesser arenas though.

Yee crepe, I was thinking that. I think I will at some point, basically make it outdoors with the old paint job and all that ect... I'll close the pit a pit so robots that fall in don't get eliminated and they have a chance to get out. It's much more fun haha. Anyone think I should do the same thing to the RWL pit?

As much as I'd absolutely love to, can't do that either because of legal reasons because it's a different company. Same reason why the Robots Live and Robochallenge arenas or its robots (excluding big nipper) arnt in the mod except they count more so as rival companies.

Post by: RAB7432 on October 03, 2015, 06:05:02 PM
HB what about a barrel run type of game mod? the rules are one robot must get to the other end of the arena trying to get though dozens of barrels and hazards from the test area. you could also have a tournament of it with four or more robots, but again that would be similar to the gauntlet. just an idea though  ;)

also is it possible to add snagging weapons like nets and cloths also projectiles like torch cutters and tazers, stuff that we will never get to see in real robotic combat?

I would also like to see more armour selections if that's possible, wood, hardox and steel.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: DaSnowingSteak on October 04, 2015, 01:55:41 AM
I imagine nets and cloths being difficult to do under RA2's restrictions.  How about letter, numbers and punctuation as decals since that'll be simple to do.

The ones the game classes as middleweight pass the 800kg limit I think it's add sheer bulk to them.

Alot of the spinners have these they're to add extra power to thhe spinners flippers also have invisible flipper to boost their power too.

Both reasons mentioned above haha. It's good to see people remember. :) the horizontal spinners especially are overweight to mimic gyro stablisation more, plus 800kg-1200kg reps look a lot more realistic being thrown into the air ect, they just suit the physics of the game more realistically oddily enough.

I don't even remember the fight you're referencing dude, it gets put in the pit a lot :P The only recent fight I actually remember was the one where Kan-Opener got a hold of the ram and ripped it off the base of the robot. Which is why we haven't been at any events recently, the bots in bits and we're too lazy to fix it right now, should start on it again soon though. On the plus side, the new ram is a lot more powerful than the older one so there should hopefully be a big improvement in the bot.

If any one has played robot wars extreme destruction in game boy advance then what about the melting pot arena? I know it's relatively simply and I realise that lava may be a no no, but how about still keeping the pit release button  and try put a super size pit in the middle or if not keep it so that it's always open like the one in the scrap yard arena.

Personally I find Maelstrom to be more lethal than Eruption, it can damage your robot with one flip. I believe they have created a few house robots Sgt Bash, Matilda, Shunt etc. but I'm not sure what happened to them, best to wait until the expansion comes out, I have a feeling that we won't be disappointed with any of this :D

I don't buy it you lot are smarter then that, you'ld know what the responses be when you posted this.  It's like saying "hey if you lot keep sending hate messages to me I'll respond with a hyper rage response video.

My guess is that it'll just just be zip files with AI and Robot Design folders to be pasted into the existed ones.

Post by: cephalopod on October 27, 2015, 06:53:17 PM
The original in the mod is Foxic v1 so to speak, that 4-bar mech doesn't exist anymore (I believe) and has been replaced with the interchangeable lifting scoops/forks you see here :)
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Merrick on October 27, 2015, 07:03:03 PM
Fair enough. It does lose a lot of personality with those forks, much better with the scoop. Is it just a visual change?
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Hyperwave on October 27, 2015, 07:17:54 PM
Any plans for variants of other robots?

E.g. Old Ripper, Tornado with disc/frame? Would be fun to see and I assume they'd be easier to make than a complete new model.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on October 27, 2015, 07:19:49 PM
Not that I'm aware of right now, mainly focussing on the new content. Craig Danby kindly donated his meshes for these new Foxic's so it wasn't nearly as big a job as most bots.

Kind of unrelated/unimportant but can't help but notice the bug with Typhoon 2 where his flag is invisible In-match?

You can see it in the bot construction just no-where else, is there a way to fix this? Thanks :')
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on November 14, 2015, 01:01:55 PM
I imagine that would be because it's a chassis component, and they usually disappear in-match. No real fix that I know of, but we can potentially have a look into changes if we have time.

Here's a download link.

Assuming you have a WinRAR or whatever it is to extract the files, you can just place the extracted folder anywhere you want to get the game onto your computer.  :thumbup

Thanks for you reply. I did as you suggested but everytime I open the game, it freezes and crashes. It usually happens when I try to select a robot in Arcade mode. Am I doing anything wrong?
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on November 14, 2015, 04:43:35 PM
My top tip, assuming you have extracted the game successfully, is to run it in full screen fr the options menu. Crashes will be less common (but may still happen because ra2 is a 12 year old game that was rushed shovelware even at the time)

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Clickbeetle on November 28, 2015, 06:47:06 PM
I'm a little late to the party, but I just got this and tried it out... I am VERY impressed with not only the quality but the sheer number of bots and arenas.  This mod looks and sounds great.  The bots also perform well in combat, and I've noticed they even seem to have a different "feel"... I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I made a bot and it seems to drive slightly differently.

If I have one criticism, it's that it doesn't stand on its own as a bot-building game.  It's great for fighting with the prebuilt bots, but the Bot Lab would be almost unplayable if it wasn't for all the DSL components included.  And for the new components, the attach points are sometimes awkward and the balance is way off.  The new motors, especially, are just crazy for how powerful, small, and light they are.  And you can do ridiculously OP things with the mega adapter.  But I don't know, maybe it wasn't your intention to make a bot-building game.  If you just want to fight bots, this mod does the trick wonderfully.

Hey guys! From seeing videos, this mod looks great! I'm still having trouble with my computer, though. Everytime I try to load a game or even testing in the garage, the game freezes. There's no arena's available for me to choose in the arena tab. Anyone know the cause of this? I made a post about this in tech&sup. awhile ago, but wondering if anyone here might know (hopefully this ain't breaking any rules)

Also, Ripper looks DAMN beautiful.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: FOTEPX on December 09, 2015, 06:13:59 AM
Is there gonna be an update to this, to balance all the component's stats out?
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Doodle2411 on December 10, 2015, 06:12:53 PM
This is probably gonna be a stupid question that has already been answered, but will other robots like stinger, major damage, OLL_E, Matilda and other original house robots be included in the Christmas update? I could see stinger as a potential problem as he's got a very thin body, but if you could do it, I can be sure there will be a lot of stinger vs Saint matches.

PS I'm new to the forums, but not to the mod, had it for a month now and love it

Y'know what, never mind. I ain't read the Battlebots contracts, so I don't know what the contitions are. Still, I look forward to the bots that are already advertised!  :mrgreen:

The fanboys of robots complaining are one of the reasons we're stopping development and I've never heard any of them sound as self entitled as you just did.

Thank you to FOTEPX and Tommy who are showing genuine enthusiasm though, HB and I really appreciate that. Mr AS is indeed gonna continue to iron out the components and their balance after we're done, that's basically gonna be GTM exclusive updates so count yourselves lucky ;)

Wait, you're stopping development? That's an awful shame, unless you've completely finished everything you wanted to do. This mod has definitely created the best RW game of them all, and I'm truly grateful for all the hard work the whole dev team has put into the project.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on January 05, 2016, 05:49:54 AM
I don't think everything we wanted to do will be done, but committing to it with the lack of enthusiasm most of the team has for it at the moment is just not right.
I personally wouldn't want to make promises we don't deliver on because the support some of you have shown doesn't deserve that, so we're getting together what we have and a couple of extra bits as our final expansion.
There will be a nice mix of retro bots, our friends robots, and a few house robots too, as well as the new studio arena (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56538eeeeee.png) you can see in that render. Not too bad of a parting gift, in my opinion :)

The old models we made that needed updating, that we have permission for will be included as well as the new robots.


I'll let you all know this now, since its not going to happen anymore....

We were in the midst of developing a stand alone game for the Robot Wars brand that would've been downloadable on steam and Xbox One. And the stage it got to was pleasing but we can't see it being financially supportive enough compared to the development needed.

Yep, I mostly lost enthusiasm for working on DSL a few years into development... it got to the point where I wanted to play it, not work on it any more.  I had to really force myself to finish it this last year.  That's part of why it took so long.  You don't want RWRA2 to turn into another DSL3, do you?  ;)

In terms of replica bots and arenas, RWRA2 already surpasses DSL.  Frankly I'm surprised, but also excited that there's even more coming.  I don't mean to sound like a fanboy, but dare I hope that since Matilda is in it now, that Deadmetal and Shunt will be too?  Those were my favorite house bots...

Regardless, I'm confident the final product is going to be awesome.  Now that DSL2.2 is released I'll get started programming the hazards in the new studio arena.

Wait what?  This is cool... Battlebots AND Robot Wars.

Question. Why is there a robot with what appears to be a banana? :baffled: Also, looks f***ing sick and awesome. :claping

Apparently it's something of a running gag for Hardwired 2. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpN_qVz3vX4)

Really? Huh. I did not know that. I've never really seen much of Robot Wars Live, being in New Zealand. Only from what I've found on youtube. And it eventually starts showing me the same vids I've already seen. But thanks for clarifying that up for me, Clickbeetle. I really appreciate that. Still find it weird, but still wins #1st prize for originality.

Also, just out of curiousity, is the series 3 arena gonna be in this expansion? I'm just a little bit curious. F***ing sick mod, though, guys. Looks badass.

This mod isn't really optimised for making your own bots, DSL 2.2 is more suited for that. It's not impossible, just harder to make something look decent.

If you want to improve your bots, you're best off making a robot showcase. Here's a good example showcase (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=2530.0) if you're wondering how to get one started.

Unfortunately I need to announce the expansion will be delayed a week, due to work commitments and RW entry panicking. It's still coming, just a week later.
As a thank you for understanding and for your support, we've released pictures of 3 of the around 30 bots you can expect next week!

Beast 2

Didn't i see something in another thread about HereticBlue's Razer being included in this next release of DSL. is this still true?

I didn't know this was public.  I guess I can talk about it then.  HB offered to give me Razer a while ago, but I was initially hesitant to accept because Razer was already in DSL (which I spent quite a bit of time upgrading!) and I wanted to minimize overlap between DSL and RW RA2.  Now that I know HB's Razer won't be appearing in RW RA2, though, I'd gladly put it in DSL.  It should be in at least one mod.

Beast 2.....he looks f***ing AWESOME!!! I think I prefer him looking like this than the other version. I think it's only cause this one has more color.

But all three of these guys look f***ing sick as hell. Awesome job, guys.

Oh good.  For some reason I had it in my head that the release date was the 26th, not the 22nd, and just today I realized that the 26th is a Tuesday and the 22nd would make more sense for a release, and I didn't have the studio arena hazards done...

The extra week should allow me not only to finish the studio arena hazards, but add collision lines and stuff to the other arenas as well.

I hope I'm allowed to post teasers here.  The flipper in the new studio arena is done and I just finished the pit release, and I must say I'm pleased with the results.  The pit now emits a plume of smoke when a bot falls in.  :mrgreen:

And I have it in mind for the arena to import a random object at the beginning of every match for the drop zone -- either a fridge, a washing machine, or whatever else they've dropped on the show.  You won't know what it is until it falls on you.  Anybody have a list of everything Robot Wars has used in the drop zone?
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: RedAce on January 21, 2016, 09:19:05 PM
Ah, you're the one working on the new arena.  Probably should've caught on to that earlier.  Well I'm liking it so far.

The pit now emits a plume of smoke when a bot falls in.  :mrgreen:
The arena from the mod currently releases some smoke when a bot goes in the pit.  It also happens when a bot goes out of the Arena.

Anybody have a list of everything Robot Wars has used in the drop zone?
Off the top of my head, there was a grand piano, A television, a buoy, a stove, some scrap metal, a couple car wheels, and some various sports balls (like bowling balls, and some golf balls here and there).

Edit: Oh yeah, they also dropped the robot Golem in the German Wars.

Huh, so it does.  That must be new.  Lu-tze's original arena didn't do that.

Well, the new studio arena will continue to release smoke.

Thanks, that should do for some nice variety.  I'm not going to make a grand piano model, but some of those others are doable.  The sports balls will be amusing.

Whey, Team effort! Cheers Click really appreciate the help you've been giving us. ;)
As for dropzone clutter, if there's anything juicy you don't have the time to knock up... Let me know!

Balls are fun but they could cause lag from the polygons, hmm. I can sort out the empty RW barrels they had in pinball you could lump a few together for that.

As for Golem being a hazard, annoyingly we'd need permission for that, but you could include that as a DSL exclusive. ;)

The arena that came with the mod is a fiddled/fixed version of Lu-Tze's. Still not up to scratch, hence the new one!

And yeah if you want to show a few teasers, be my guest!


RedAce, I made the arena for the expansion but it would've literally been a box with oota zones and pit. And that's what you see in the teaser. Clicks doing the fancy important stuff that I'm too thick to work out how to do like hazards!

Post by: Mr. AS on January 23, 2016, 01:57:41 PM
Like craaig said, it's not a bug. Just iffy design. Eruption (along with a few other flippers) actually has around 3 flippers, 2 of which are invisible. If you go into the bot lab with Eruption and press F12 to see the collision meshes of each component, you can see that it has an additional few flippers under the first one.

Eruption's traditional-looking flipper is also purely aesthetic and doesn't actually serve any actual purpose in terms of gameplay. The flipper is on a cheaty burst motor (said burst motor is probably going to be a cheatbot2 component in the upcoming expansion btw), but the chassis model and flipper model are shaped in such a way to give it a more realistic feeling than most RA2 flippers have to offer.

Shane Swan who built Envy is a really nice guy and fun to crack on with but we aren't able to include it in the mod no matter what either of us want because of reasons we can't disclose. And that's all we can say on the subject. Envy's chassis was rebuilt into the rear hinged (and overweight) Air as seen in the 2013 Robots Live Europian championship. It's now long since deceased, a new Air was built but sold on and renamed to 'Thunderchild'... I think!

What Mr AS said regarding flippers. That's the reason why the flippers are so powerful. The lower powered flippers use the same custom burst but using the maximum specs achievable in the game without ha okay occurring. So the modern flippers need multiple bursts to replicate the power appropriately.
Also it is still relatively realistic for the robots to self right after losing their flippers. They can self right in real life from firing the pneumatic ram! There's a clip of Ripper in Australia where it demonstrates this quite well.

Rhys746, All British flippers use Co2 (Unless Mentorn want to do a publicity stunt and convert a robot to Nitrogen again) Chaos 2's flipper could through robots about 1ft at most above the lip of the flipper at best. To put it in perspective to modern flippers, Iron Awe 7 flipped Toxic  ( I think) 12ft in the air.
Chaos 2 isn't a scratch on modern flippers to put it bluntly and I think everyone will get a fright when they see a good hit/flip on the new show.

So, we have another apology.
 The update will be delayed another week so that we have enough time to finish the update to a really awesome standard.
 Part of this is due to our new Series 7 arena not being completely done yet (Check out the cool stuff Click is talking about doing with it! Gonna be awesome)
 We also remain busy with our Robot Wars application (Go like Team Immersion on Facebook!) however we keep working, and can reveal the update will include OVER 30 NEW ROBOTS.
 To tide you over, here's a 2 of the featherweights you will be seeing, Beauty 8 and Hatchet 3!
 We're really sorry but hopefully you can see that we're building this bigger and better for you guys in what spare time we have!

I think I get what you mean, and I don't think it's possible. The replicas have all sorts of custom components that messing about with could result with a robot about as capable as winning as Granny's Revenge. Said components are stuff like armour panels, interior components, hidden weapons (flippers and such) and other things that I couldn't really find. These parts aren't available to the player (usually) so if you deleted one to get closer to the internals, it'd be a right hassle trying to fix up the robot again.

But back on topic I'm liking the new stuff. Looking forward to it and I appreciate everything you guys do. Like I said previously the gaming industry could learn a thing or two from you guys.

Even if people have essentially said this already, I figured I'd say this (to get my post count up lel); I don't get why people have the mindset of:

"this will be the last update for a while"

"releases in a few days"


"REQUEST ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING NOW"

I've seen it a fair bit on the Facebook page (surprisingly more so on GTM) and I can't really understand it. I get that this surpasses pretty much every Robot Wars game the BBC released and for that reason, people want to make the most of it and see their favorite robots in the game (It may be a while before we get something this good again,) but we have LOADS of robots. I get that we'd all like to use our favorite robots in one of the best Robot Wars games to date (I wouldn't mind seeing Tiberius myself) but for anyone here to request more stuff; be grateful for what we have. Which is over 100 robots. And more coming in the update.

oh and add whsiwyg becuz the universe demands it

why is everyone complaining about complaints ? you know it's a vicious circle right ?

its simple really. this pack's main demographical targets is Robutt Wars fanboys. Especially that it isn't about building, but replicas only. And considering how robot wars did it's merch, some are quite vocal about their preferences.

We always had some... remember when noname newbies bumped up the DSL3 thread repeatedly for asking "is X replica in ?" and we got annoyed over it ? Well it's the same process. We even have some that have integrated into GTM successfully, and are worthy and respectable members now.

Except this mod is more ambitious replica-wise, and it has a facebook page so it gets more publicity, so the influx of Robot Wars fanboys is rather large.

tl;dr of course you get complaints, this mod is aimed at the robot wars fanboy crowd... keep calm and soldier on.

I agree with Naryar so much. No need to complain about people going against what you may have told them not to ask because they'll ask anyway as this will be a big thing for Robot Wars superfans and they really want to see their favourite robot in the game.

It'd be fine if it was only once or twice, but the fact that this keep happening constantly, despite us repeatedly saying we don't take requests, is what irritates us.

This is a project we do in our spare time, and started as something filled with plenty more enthusiasm than we currently have. It doesn't help when people like battledutchman over here start asking for robots that are impossible to get due to either the owners being untrackable or the robot being associated with another company.

We've put tonnes of content into the mod already, including more replicas than any other mods previously. All we're asking for is for people to be patient and try to appreciate what we've worked on for over a year.

Alright everyone!

Since the requests become more and more and people still don't understand how contracts work we decidet that I the 4th best guy on this forum takes over and answer questions regarding this mod.

you can PM me and ask for Robot X and Y (No Robot X is already in DSL so don't ask for that!)
I will tell you that the requested robot will not be in the mod and we will all be fine. Looking forward to it!

It is planned to be a full release with the update preinstalled.

Also there is still some work that has be done before release so we are not just teasing you for no reason with those pictures ;) There is quite a bit going on in the lifes that's why it has been delayed a few times already.

Although I do agree that this could be quite irritating, some people will see the name and immediately start asking questions, paying no heed to anything else, due to excitement. Also, who said you had to respond to these people? What would happen if the people currently working on RA3 came on GTM and said "Oh God why so many inquisitive questions?? Just stop asking and let us get on with it!!"? They're letting us ask questions but not giving us answers, meaning they can find out themselves if they decide to play RA3. You guys need to do the same. Letting something as stupid as people actually being excited and inquisitive about the mod make you less enthusiastic is not right. In fact, it should spur you on more to answer ALL of their questions by releasing the mod, instead of tending to their questions individually. Directing all that traffic to Thyrus isn't the answer :P

To be honest with the nostalgia factor and what playzooki said (he has a good point tbh) this was always going to happen. Just have some blanket statements on Facebook to shut down any complainers and then stick the flame shields up,and ignore them. I'm not a fan of the mod personally but you lads did put it a sh*t load of work so good on you.

There was something I was wanting to ask (not sure if it's been asked before or anything, there are MANY PAGES) but I was wondering; out of all of the robots included in the mod, which one was the biggest pain in the arse to make? Like, the one that took the most effort and time to get right?

Not too sure who can answer this if I'm honest. I'm not too certain who worked on the mod and who didn't.

You pose a good question. However, I suggest we leave that question and just wait for it to appear when it does. Don't forget, Click has the arena's, there are also the other bots that need inserting,....lots of stuff. Just give it time. Everything will be ready, soon. Just....patience.

Post by: Scrap Daddy on February 02, 2016, 05:08:49 PM
Great work on the mod, boys. Tons of fun and the only mod I play right now when I fire up RA2 to beat up some flippers with american bots ;)


However, I do think you guys were letting the RW fanboys get to you too much. For every bot request, I'm sure there was equal if not more support for the excellent work you guys were doing on the mod, especially here on the forum. Making mods for a 13 year old game is definitely a thankless job, so I do understand how requests for more content is annoying, even more so considering how much you guys have already accomplished. A lot of people are quick to criticize someone's work, but will stay silent in support.

>Doing nothing for the community ever
>Thinking your opinion is something worth reading
This is how to respond to the facebook fanboys, not members of the dedicated forum. I just read the previous page after typing most of this up, and Naryar and Yugitom pretty much nailed my sentiment exactly. Playzooki might be retarded, but his opinion is worth reading and the only one that got a response.

The mod content is amazing itself, let alone for a first release, but I guess I just have a bad taste in my mouth regarding how the mod came to a closure. I just feel like there is a sense of blame placed on the community for the cancellation, when it was a vocal minority on facebook. You guys owed us nothing, but now there's a feeling of what could we have done different to let you know we support.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: cephalopod on February 02, 2016, 06:16:15 PM
Yeah, hi, actually logging back in, something I kinda hadn't planned on doing because Scrap makes super valid points and I needed to respond.

The Playzooki/I stuff is honestly a personal thing and although it isn't intended as an attack on the community in any sense (again, it's a personal thing) it does reflect badly on the mod and the mod team and I'm sorry for that. Many reasons, all of which will come off as excuses, but overall just massive stress (see: last few months of uni degree), and this is personally why I've been dealing with things pretty badly, especially a few days ago, seemingly ignoring the more valid arguments and just picking fights. Need to learn to stop letting stress get the better of me. ALSO IF ROBOT WARS COULD RING US AND LET US KNOW IF WE HAVE TO FINISH A HEAVYWEIGHT ROBOT FOR A TOURNAMENT THAT FILMS IN 4 WEEKS THAT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT. cough.

Right, next up. The fanboys are not the reason we are quitting. Sure, it grows tiresome and it can be frustrating for people to simply not read a message you've written out SO many times (seriously no Razer will not be in the mod) but it's awesome to see how enthused people are about it, and you can tell they are.
For myself and HB at least, we've generally transitioned from RA2 through to real combat robots and generally losing a lot of interest in RA2 and the mod. Don't get me wrong, it's in no small part down to developing the mod that we've met so many great people in the community that we've bonded with really closely as friends, and for that we'll be forever thankful. This said, the work on the mod is now almost being  because we said we would for those who have shown their support, rather than because we feel passionately about it. This isn't the way we want to run things, hence we decided to bring a close to everything before things got sour with we end up breaking promises - these delays have already been pushing it, I know.

Unfortunately I let myself makes things mildly sour and I'm genuinely apologetic for this to the entire community. I think this message has covered all the bases I intended to cover. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, especially those who have been vocal about it, it's you guys (honestly) that have encouraged us to actually get this expansion out instead of letting it fade into obscurity - as Scrap said, it's a very thankless task when you consider quite often a days work goes into each replica and we've been running 24/7 technical support on the mod page, so knowing people appreciate what we've done has been our fuel for carrying on.

If anyone wants to get in touch with me regarding anything feel free to drop me a line on Skype or Facebook. Hopefully you all enjoy the expansion :)
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: Scrap Daddy on February 02, 2016, 08:47:14 PM
Thanks for the response, Craaig.

I understand losing motivation during modding (whaddup ReStocked & my IRL pack), and the feeling of pressure to not let people down on promises, and that's just from experience working on tiny AI mods. I can't, however, relate to the hours your guys have already put in. From building the bots, skinning them, hunting down team members, 3D modeling, tech support. It's an insane amount of work with no reward, except having a final product that you guys should be tremendously proud of. And once you stop having fun, that's when it is time to stop.

I just want to emphasize not only how much you guys have done for the RA2 community, but robot combat as a whole. As much as we want to hate on the Facebook dumb-asses, those are new people playing RA2. If just 1/10 become active members, I'd take it. Who knows how long you guys have further extended the life of a game that wasn't even finished by its own developers. A game and show that was a pivotal part of mine, and countless other member's, childhood and life, there are no amount of thank yous that amount to my appreciation. I know you weren't coming from a place of resentment, Craaig, and thank you for clarifying.

Alright, lemme explain what happened here.  I was just riving around with Foxic II and I wanted to use the arena wall to self-right.  However, for some reason, when I did this, the game registered my as "Eliminated" when I was nowhere near the floor of the OOTA zone.  Could you possibly fix this to avoid any other weird moments like this?  I apologize if I'm giving a poor explanation of what I mean.  I'll put a video together trying to show you what I mean.


Other than that, I like it so far.  Although some of the new bots in this mod (mostly the 2WD ones), Eric, An Adorable Kitten, Beast 2, Ceros, Cerberus, etc. move sooooo sloow.  Were the drive motors not able to handle their weight?

Edit: just noticed the first patch.  Thanks for that, maybe that'll fix it.

Post by: Elementos on February 05, 2016, 04:34:14 PM
Unfortunately I have found another little bug.

If you hit F1 to see a robot's controls whilst the scoreboard is present the game freezes.

Also, the controls for Bigger Brother are incredibly confusing.

Edit; Same for Behemoth. And I bet many others. Also the thumbnail for the sao paulo arena is the bridge of doom.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: jackster96 on February 05, 2016, 04:38:02 PM
awesome work on the quick patches :D the new arena looks amazing, just a small one is that shunts axe doesn't have any sound when fired and bigger brother still feels a bit weak as its very hard to get most robots more than a few inches of the floor. Ill keep trying out all the new robots and if I find anything else i shall post it.
I just got the same issue that Redace had i was using barberous and i got pushed up slightly onto the arena wall and when i landed it counted as eliminated.
Edit: seems like we have a friendly AI when they use lightning doesn't go for the flip.

Okay here we go.
X-Terminator 2 is still incredibly weak
Largely by design - Havok and all that.

If you hit F1 to see a robot's controls whilst the scoreboard is present the game freezes.
The scoreboard? Like, the thing at the end of matches? People press F1 when that comes up? Pretty sure that's not our doing there.

Also, the controls for Bigger Brother are incredibly confusing.

Edit; Same for Behemoth. And I bet many others.
Yeah, they're set up for xbox controllers, as were most of the old release bots. My advice would always be to check robot wiring after import.

Also the thumbnail for the sao paulo arena is the bridge of doom.
Oh well :P

just a small one is that shunts axe doesn't have any sound when fired
See above ;)

bigger brother still feels a bit weak as its very hard to get most robots more than a few inches of the floor.
By design, BB is fairly weak these days.

I just got the same issue that Redace had i was using barberous and i got pushed up slightly onto the arena wall and when i landed it counted as eliminated.
We can't fix this, just something that has to be dealt with, if I recall correctly. Apologies.

seems like we have a friendly AI when they use lightning doesn't go for the flip.
I'll take a look at this if I get a chance.

Hope everyone else is enjoying... I'm going to sleep. :')

There do seem to be a fair few bugs and issues, but I wouldn't say releasing it was a bad decision. I mean, you've (assuming it was just you doing the patches) done lots already to stay on top of the bugs. (those patches were lightning fast, seriously) The mod is still great as it is. The stuff that made it so much fun in the first place is still there, and there's new stuff along with it. All things considered, releasing it now and patching it little by little seems to be the best option.
Hope everyone else is enjoying... I'm going to sleep. :')
That's probably for the best. Great job staying on top of the bugs!

I would like to point out that the new RW 7 arena is freaking awesome. I love the lower walls and drop zone.

Thank You.

Blame any bugs on the pestering fanboys who pestered the team constantly and allowed little time for testing.

That being said, fantastic mod. Thank you to everyone involved with this mod who managed to produce something great despite the stress and pressure.

I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say this but a massive thank you to everyone involved. You truly deserve a lot of appreciation. There has never been a really good RW game and this damn well makes up for it. It's good to have a little bit of my childhood back :3

But seriously, try to take a break. You really do deserve it. Please don't feel as if you're obliged to update the mod with patches every day, guys.

After spending some time with the update I'll list the good and bad.

What I liked
New replicas
New arena
Having AIs for both tanto and Iron Awe 2.5
The new stats on the parts
A mix of both old and new

What I didn't like
Bugs at launch
Camera angles for S7 Arena(not my preference just need to get use to them).

Overall I'd give Robot Wars+ a 8/10.

How to successfully make TMHWK fall apart in Robot Wars+:
Step 1: Put a minimum of 2 spinners (any type of spinner but it has to be MW/HW) and TMHWK in a arena without pits
Step 2: Watch TMHWK's axe break just from hitting the bots
Step 3: Then Watch as the spinners tear him up. (this won't happen all the time of course)

all the trolling...

this mod isn't made for actually building bots, nor is it balanced. it's just made for making replica fights.

and so far as i've seen it's the best in that category.

if you want to build, build in dsl 2.2 or ironforge.

DSL 2.2 has just been released but it's not the best for Robot Wars replicas, Chaos 2 has been made more powerful than 2.1 and Razer has had a graphics update and works on a crusher motor now (still spawns in a down position though ::2mad )
I have a feeling they will be made for this soon because the mod is the best thing released in a long time and the robots are very big names so they would fit in with an official robot wars game. *quits rambling*

Some of you have probably noticed that some of the AI are pacifists. Some of them don't use their weapons.
I realized this a while back, and made a fix for the robots that didn't use their weaponry (these were Storm II, Kan-Opener J-Spec, Lightning and Suicidal Tendencies.) I sent the fixed robots to Craaig to be included in a potential future patch update (just in case some things needed fixing) but seeing as he's busy with his own team at the moment (Team Nebula) I decided to just upload the robots here.

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/9612AI Fix With A Surprising Lack Of Envy.zip (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/9612AI Fix With A Surprising Lack Of Envy.zip) (Ignore the "lel envy is missing" type name, I didn't know what to call it)

File Contents:

     _ Team10 --> Bot1.bot (Kan-Opener J-Spec)
   /  _ Team18 --> Bot2.bot (Storm II)
  / /
 AI
  \ \ _ Team31 --> Bot1.bot (Suicidal Tendencies)
   \ _ Team38 --> Bot2.bot (Lightning)

Just extract that in the RWRA2+ folder and replace the original files (your computer should give you a prompt asking if you want to do this) and then you should be good to go! If there's any problems, I'll try to get another version of the download working.

Breaker Box can't really move the scoop effectively as a means of attack. It only really moves to A) Self Right and B) Breakdance. It's more of a rammer.
As for the Foxic robots, I tried to make them work, but I couldn't find what was wrong with them. The AI Foxic II has a flipper as opposed to a servo lifter, showing that it could be used by an AI, but even then I couldn't find what was stopping it from attacking.
Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

I think that's because Foxic was supposed to be a rammer not a flipper.

All the fights I've seen of it it never flipped a bot it always rammed and the flipper in the RWRA2 says it's shrimech not a flipper but I'm only going of what I've seen.

Foxic is a lifter.
On the subject of Foxic (because I remember wondering this) I know that it has a working weapon in RWRA2+, but in the original mod, did it's weapon work? I don't think it was wired to anything but I can't remember if it was attached to a working burst motor or anything.

Now that I look at this after RA3's release, this mod seems like the RA3 we should've got. Nicer graphics, more bot lab content, interesting arenas... not sure how RA3 would've had replicas; I suppose it could have had imitations of famous robots. All that on top of the (GOOD) things RA3 brought to the series and we might have had the successor we've been waiting for. I mean, I'm happy with having amazing fan made mod and harbinger of silly clipping errors, but if they came together, it'd be quite the RA3, wouldn't it? ... Not the silly clipping errors, the good things, like the online (when it works) and the 5 layer chassis and the Steam Workshop.

Details are spot on too.. I even managed this in the first 30 seconds of the match..

Uhhh... how is this happening? Like, superb work in putting all this together, but surely now that the reboot is a thing, you guys don't have the rights to the Robot Wars name anymore? Unless this is becoming unofficial now... I'd certainly like to know why this has suddenly been announced, because I honestly don't really see this being included officially without some legal issues down the line.

Doubt that they or the roboteers would want to have this taken down, if anything it's free advertisement and showing that people are working on somewhat technical stuff, which is something most of them would enjoy?

So why was this exactly done :P I didn't know about a 2013 pack and was a bit surprised to see some old machines not in the pack(guess it has to do with licensing?). By the way, do you know what's up with the licensing now and if Robots Live/Roaming Robots/Robot Wars still has the original music tracks? Would love to have the original ones(I know there's some game rips but they don't have everything and every version).

I tried out the pack some time ago, it's very well done and I enjoy it(sadly only 2 classic house robots?), wonder if it wouldn't have been possible to use a limited hinge for Sewer Snake's top armor and to add something to help with the ground clearance(I tried to fight shunt but couldn't get under him while other bots can).

oh we wanna play the million questions game huh? okay.
1. other mods have inferior quality replicas. rather they weren't mixed with rwra2. no secret.
2. we tried to get everything we could but had to get permission from every single builder who has a bot featured in the game wow i've typed this at least 600 times over the last year. we contacted a LOT of people. some of them were good, some of them didn't want to be involved, some we couldn't contact at all. that's life.

Title: Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD
Post by: R01 on August 12, 2016, 03:51:27 PM
oh we wanna play the million questions game huh? okay.
1. other mods have inferior quality replicas. rather they weren't mixed with rwra2. no secret.
2. we tried to get everything we could but had to get permission from every single builder who has a bot featured in the game wow i've typed this at least 600 times over the last year. we contacted a LOT of people. some of them were good, some of them didn't want to be involved, some we couldn't contact at all. that's life.
3. idk what's up with licensing but that's one of many reasons we stopped.
4. no idea we used the game rips.
5. only 2 classic house bots oh no there's like over 150 bots dude
6. we tried lots of things for sewer snake. the fact it works like the original at all is a miracle.

k?
Nah I wasn't going for this:
But was more curious on a few things:

1. I can understand, but in the end people will do whatever they want, so let them just do that.
2. Wonder why some wouldn't want their robot featured or why this needed to be official. Of course it's better having built stuff with people's permission but I don't think a roboteer would go out of their way to make sure that your virtual recreation of a bot for a free game out of all things, gets taken down.
4. Thought you would be using the game rips.
5. Yeah, but who wouldn't want to take on the classic house robots? :mrgreen:
6. I can tell that it was a pain to get that lifter setup like that(I still don't fully understand how it works but then again, haven't messed with the bot file), axle mount would make it so that you wouldn't need to move it down but would most likely clip the chassis instead unless invisible extenders started to be added, your way is probably still better.

More answers to more statements hurrah

1. We know people will do what they want despite our polite requests, so I added an Easter egg for those who do. Hardly difficult to get rid of. At least Maz took it as the joke it is, unlike some.
2. Some classic roboteers were uncontactable or didn't want to be a part. Their reasoning is honestly nothing to do with us or you, their own reasons and we never demanded reasoning. Going official helped increase the reach of the mod and help attempt to bring more robot combat fans into the ra2 community.
Everything we did, all the hundreds of hours of modelling, skinning, researching, contacting, pr, we did for the community for free. May be wise to take heed of that.

I think you misunderstood me there for a bit, I wasn't exactly being like "ugh, why does this need to be official", I find it great that you did this and thought that getting more people's attention to RA was part of the reason(even if it doesn't really show the building part of RA2).
Never meant that they didn't want to join the project because of us, but if someone asked me if they would be allowed to do a replica of my bot in a game, I'd happily accept and be proud that my bot is featured in it. But hey that's their decision.
I was going to write a reply about the imports but that was before I saw your replies about it and think it's just for the best if I don't post that, since this is already clear.

Errr how are they going out of their way to prevent it? What he did was leave a folder titled "razer" in the components folder that had the banana parts because a bunch of people where constantly asking if Razer was going to be in the mod even after it was stated many times it couldn't for legal reasons.

Head over to Facebook and grab your copy! The + Update has now been released!Please add Terrorhurtz in the next update  :redface: :dance:

https://www.facebook.com/RWRA2 (https://www.facebook.com/RWRA2)


Thank you so much for the positive feedback so far guys! :) It really means a lot to us.

Admittedly some arenas aren't finished and theres not even 1/4 of the new weapons we wanted to include, simply due to time constraints. But Either way we didn't want to make you guys wait any longer to try out these replicas and get the classic feel of Robot Wars, RW Arenas of Destruction and RW Live all rolled into one.

Some things have changed from regular mods, like the assembly of spinners, crushers and some axes. They are two/three piece components that have to be mounted to a mega adapter and rotated into position. Spinners have an invisible half because the collision is only for one single tooth, so you need to hit F12 and rotate the invisible half until the collision is 180 degrees from the visible part of the drum. This does seem like time wasting but.... It does mean you hit your opponents a lot harder than before and ootas with verticals are very much possible. The motors and lips battery, believe it or not, if you get these components in real life you will get the same amount of oomph. The team is built of roboteers so we've had a play with most of these ourselves. Oh and I hope the music & sfx upgrade for the arenas and UI helps you get that RWED feel.

Title: Re: Robot Wars Magazine Arenas & Series 7 Competitor Components
Post by: pokebro14 on August 22, 2016, 11:35:05 AM
Maybe separate the pieces of the body, so for example the scoop of X-Terminator can come off? Might be laggy, but adds realism. Also, we badly need more wheels. I would like to see a proper Go-Kart tyre, like the ones on Dominator 2 or TriMangle. Technos are too wide.
Sorry I should have said, the scoop is already a separate component so it can be attached to a burst for the realistic hinge movement. I do agree we need more wheels but for the time being I'm not going to even think of the idea, Its difficult enough for the experienced to get them to work in the game, I doubt I would have much luck with them at such an early stage. I might try to do it in the future but it will have to wait.


Absolutely amazing. Good luck getting these into the game

I particularly love the look of Tsunami and X-Terminator so far- they should be fantastic additions to the pack once they're ready. Mega Morg looks interesting as well, and as much as I dislike it in real life, I suppose I can see Cheap as Chips in there being a good thing, too.

At least if only for being able to wreck it with Terrorhurtz.  :P

Cheers mate, I dont know if they will be part of the pack to be honest, Wham hasn't messaged me back. The reason why I dished out Mega Morg is because it is a uniquely shaped robot, it was popular in the series and its Tag Team partners Diotor & X-terminator are already in the game so it would be a good addition for the RW purist.  :thumbup


All I would say with Exterminator is, is it worth taking the little bobbles on the self righting hubs off? Then you could make them as a separate component or whatever and actually make them function. But that's not to say anything bad, they all look incredible.

I would like to do that but to make them fore-fill their purpose realistically within gameplay would be an absolute arse. Invisible righting arms on burst motors might aiding the spikes might be the only way around the issue but It could cause the game to lag.




Right, well I'm still waiting for a reply from Wham before the components and arenas can get exported into the game so I got bored last night and I knocked up a rough representation of the Series 3 arena as it is probably one of the most requested areas today.

Robot Arena 2 just crashes a lot, it's a 13 year old shovelware game. There's nothing the mod can do to fix it. Running the game in fullscreen stops crashing for the most part though for whatever reason, hopefully that should fix the issues.

Does anyone else have a problem with Tanto's wheels? In my game they appear completely black and haven't got a texture, unlike the one in The Rookies team.

i don't have that problem but Tanto is facing the wrong way in my game

There was a fix that somebody made for that Tanto problem, it's on this thread somewhere

Go to the AI folder and enter bindings.
Locate Tanto. And check it it says math.pi (math.pi*2) if it has no*2 add it, if it has *2 delete it. It should work

Out of curiosity will there be more robots added, we got Apex and Foxic recently but will there be others in the future?

Sadly the mod team has disbanded and moved onto other things (Mainly IRL robotics) so I don't believe any further work will ever be done to this pack.

What 09 said. We're all super busy now with other projects. Sorry! Will always support the material we already have though!

Ah that's a shame, oh well it's understandable.
