The mod will be finished when its finished :P

Same thing was said about Duke Nukem Forever, y'know... :P

Naah, I'm just joshing with ya. You take as much time as you want. Judging from these screenshots, the end product is going to be jaw-droppingly amazing. Proud of both of you's.

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.

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

Thats fair enough i have no problem with that. im not trying to pressure anybody sorry if it seems that way i respect the guy thats making the mod 1 trillion percent he is a legend for making this mod for us and i really cant wait for it as soon as i saw this i came to hard i cant see the screen no more.

@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)

HereticBlue · « **Reply #845 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.

Great work, as always.

No it is not because you can notice the the flat insides

daleksec7 · « **Reply #852 on:** August 28, 2014, 06:04:09 PM »

Limpet WIP :-3

Even john denny said he liked it :-3

FOTEPX · « **Reply #853 on:** August 28, 2014, 10:43:45 PM »

Looking pretty awesome, man. I assume that the zebra texture needs some weathering - other than that, I can't think of anything to add.

That's what I meant. Thanks for explaining though.
Dystopia, ahhhh.... My 2nd favourite robot in history. Looks amazing. How powerful is it though?

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

Ahhh, good times, and an amazing rep yet again,

Edit: And I can't believe I forgot, Daleksec that limpet replica is incredible

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?

yugitom · « **Reply #857 on:** August 30, 2014, 03:21:28 PM »

Limpet looks really cool. Like FOTEPX says, other than some work on the skin a bit, it's perfect.

cephalopod · « **Reply #858 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.

limpet and dystopia look like the real thing, its looks like a photo
