Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

[yugitom]

Crashing during an event is pretty much a given in RA2 in general. I have had no problems at all with this crashing. Also, anyone care to shed some light on my previous question?

I noticed the action cam is in the arena folder. Any reason it doesn't work? Or, is it just me?

Seems awesome from experimenting so far, yet another congratulations to the whole team involved, worth the wait! 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!

Cool mod

[HereticBlue]

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.

It's working now.

I tried to play with Atom Smasher but the game crashed lol. Can you use Stock/DSL bots in this mod at all?

[Riptide]

Not had the chance to play the full release version yet myself but I'm glad everyone's enjoying the mod. I've spent literally hours being moral support in the mod discussions, and its nice to see my hard work has come through.

In all seriousness though it's been awesome to see this develop over the last few months and its definitely a great tribute to Robot Wars past and present. Good stuff guys!

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.

[DaSnowingSteak]

If there is one thing that bothers me is that the skyboxs are so plain it's actuallly very disracting (sao paulo my god)!

[Trihunter]

The site needs to be updated.

Also, when I try to download it, I get ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. I don't know what to do 

[Ben Purse]

I honestly can't believe the amount of effort put into this. I been playing it for around 3 hours now. Only problem I have found is that if you manage to rip off a flipper, it will still be able to flip even without out. Honestly though I can't believe the amount of work put into this, good job guys!

Yeah, the AI isn't all the loo complicated in this build. I may fix that up so flippers don't fire when they're not there for a future release.

Also, Trihunter, the site is basically dead :P we're going to be migrating from it just to the Facebook page and an upcoming page on robotwars.tv

Sorry about you guys having download issues, may I recommend trying a different browser?

I set up a little 64 bot 4 way mayhem tournament so i could get to see some of the others in use my bot unfortunately is out after my rubbish driving trying to get away from breaker box i ended up in the pit have done it all on the live arena as its not to big and i think is the best arena been having great fun with it best robot i have watched so far is last rites destroying everything in its path... As for the bit where you take a flipper off i have noticed you do ride up some of them but behemoth hasn't got that problem but that's the only thing i have found.

Fun challenge: win anything with Plunderbird or Snappy Senior.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Any reason why multiplayer is disabled? I'd like to be able to play this with people...

[Mouldy]

Sorry if I'm being silly here, but weren't the house robots going to be added? Or are they not quite done yet?

[RoboBowler]

Sorry if I'm being silly here, but weren't the house robots going to be added? Or are they not quite done yet?

Q&A
Q: House robots?
A: Soon.

Yes you are being silly Mouldy.

It's a crusher in real life but I don't think it works in the mod. I can't get it to work anyway.
