Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

[090901]

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.

[yugitom]

Sorry 'bout your family man, I'm not cool with that kind of stress either.

^

That Ripper replica looks absolutely amazing! So realistic, probably the most realistic replica you have made so far.

[AlexGRFan97]

I would not have known those two images weren't real life photographs if you didn't tell us. Damn that looks so real.

[Philippa]

Bruh...

[Jonzu95]

Beautiful work

[RpJk]

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

[Natster-104]

It's a shame to hear about the family problems dude, but keep your chin up, and hopefully everything will work out in the end, your an inspiration, as RPJK said, both morally and virtually.

Ripper, just is hnnnnging amazing, and the detail is just fricken, well, I can't think of a good enough describing word!

[FOTEPX]

OH MY GOD.

I will never get to play Robot Wars RA2 because I just died. I suffered from a happiness overdose and just collapsed on my keyboard. THAT IS AMAZING

[Connor791]

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.

Hb wins everything

[HereticBlue]

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. :)

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!



See you all after the next update lads! 


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. 

[AlexGRFan97]

Oh my god. Please tell me it doesn't make the game laggy, because these are irreal levels of detail.

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.

[Mouldy]

I came (More)

[Dalek Sram]

Very impressive! Are there any download links? I've just found this and I might have missed quite a lot. LOL

I didnt mean like a realease date sorry used the wrong word was more like if it would be done by the end of this year or start of next year.

And all the bots look unreal.

[Thyrus]

I guess any kind of release announcement puts pressure on someone. so we should go with "it's done when it's done"

[daleksec7]

The mod will be finished when its finished :P
