Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

[Badnik96]

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

[Jaydee99]

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.

it saved money to reuse the parts. i think they should have at least kept the shell like John Denny did with 13 black iirc

[Jaydee99]

Exactly. Is the discs still on 13 black?

[TheUnknownRobotics]

Exactly. Is the discs still on 13 black?

I'm not really sure, but I think no.

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...

[Thyrus]

will you change the ingame credits too if possible?
IMO it should contain click,Wham and you.
Click or Trov: If you read this: Is it possible to change the splash.bmp to some kind if anymated picture?

you should put the first version of my AW jaguar in for the lolz

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?

[Badnik96]

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

[HereticBlue]

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.





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.

[Shield]

Aww yis

[Jaydee99]

Get in. Dantomkia is my favourite of all time! This is going to AWESOME!!!

[DaPika]

Great work.


Lightning, I have always liked


Dantomkia, used to like, now dislike because it OOTA'd 2 of my favourite bot. (Easy to guess)

[nicsan2009]

Dantomkia is one of my favorite bots and that.... that's just beautiful. Great work HB I cannot wait until this drops.

[yugitom]

Awesome, I like the way Dantomkia looks. Also, it would be awesome if this thing ended up more popular than DSL and brings in a shed load of people to this community.

[RedAce]

Lightning and Dantomkia are awesome man. nice job.

[Thyrus]

No reply for me? :D

Can`t wait to put my hands on them. they look awesome!

[Badnik96]

Lightning looks fantastic, always liked that bot. Can't wait for Mortis and Cassius II.
