Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

[jackster96]

I think it would be quite cool to see mantis from s7 in this was quite a unique bot but doubt its possible to get it to work like it does irl?

[Lemonism]

You know I wonder what HB is doing to this mod besides just adding bots and arenas I'm talking sounds, UI, other technical stuff in the mod and are the promo shots where they have more then four bots possible in game.

Didn't someone say at one point that those promo shots were made in 3DS Max?

yeah the promo shots aren't done in RA2. It's not possible to do that kind of stuff in the game.

Then as promo shots they could be misleading right?

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 know I just love to nitpick that's all.

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.
Thanks.

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

[Badnik96]

I think as long as it isn't the lame "when will this come out omg" crap it's legit discussion. That said I wouldn't doubt it.

I don't think that will happen because if you think about it if a conversation goes on for 20 pages he would notice so I say discuss, talk about it, have your say until HB gives confirmation of course.

[HereticBlue]

Yeah feel free to discuss that lads! What sort of stuff yous expecting? All the usual weird add on stuff from the RW games?

I'll answer your question when I've exported Jarvis' first replica for the game. and I can assure you it's awesome. Clue - It's something I've already made before but I made it look crap.

[El Chickenado]

if you have nothing else to do id expect some dumb secret bots hidden in the exhibition mode

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."

[toAst]

are all of those robots in the op legit? i can't believe how well some of these textures came out. theyre honestly beautiful

Or maybe HB's making some kind of replica kit either way I'm hyped.

[tmccreight25]

this looks good HB cant wait till it comes out! 

[HereticBlue]

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!

[Probably Rob]

Requesting Spawn Again?

None of you are as big of a fan as me. Hometown heroes, yo.

[El Chickenado]

[bigbiggerbiggest]

Thank you HB I really appreciate this.

[Jaydee99]

Just disgusting. Horrible!
All kidding aside,
Wow! I love Titan but that is great.
Manta is one of my favourite's as well. I didn't know it had a featherweight, let alone a beatleweight! Looks great.
