Envy doesn't really exist anymore anyhow.

Yeah. Kinda sucks since he looked really good. Oh, well. The machines that ARE in this mod are freaking awesome.

Ah well it's what happens to these things.

Some of you have probably noticed that some of the AI are pacifists. Some of them don't use their weapons.
I realized this a while back, and made a fix for the robots that didn't use their weaponry (these were Storm II, Kan-Opener J-Spec, Lightning and Suicidal Tendencies.) I sent the fixed robots to Craaig to be included in a potential future patch update (just in case some things needed fixing) but seeing as he's busy with his own team at the moment (Team Nebula) I decided to just upload the robots here.

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/9612AI Fix With A Surprising Lack Of Envy.zip (Ignore the "lel envy is missing" type name, I didn't know what to call it)

File Contents:

_ Team10 --> Bot1.bot (Kan-Opener J-Spec)
/ _ Team18 --> Bot2.bot (Storm II)
/ /
AI
\ \ _ Team31 --> Bot1.bot (Suicidal Tendencies)
\ _ Team38 --> Bot2.bot (Lightning)

Just extract that in the RWRA2+ folder and replace the original files (your computer should give you a prompt asking if you want to do this) and then you should be good to go! If there's any problems, I'll try to get another version of the download working.

The Foxic robots and Breaker Box AI also seem to have a phobia of using their weaponry.

Breaker Box can't really move the scoop effectively as a means of attack. It only really moves to A) Self Right and B) Breakdance. It's more of a rammer.
As for the Foxic robots, I tried to make them work, but I couldn't find what was wrong with them. The AI Foxic II has a flipper as opposed to a servo lifter, showing that it could be used by an AI, but even then I couldn't find what was stopping it from attacking.

I think that's because Foxic was supposed to be a rammer not a flipper.

Was it?

I'm pretty sure Foxic was meant to be a lifter.

Huh.

Wait, why the hell am I saying that? I've never even seen Robot Wars live.

DeadGenocide · « **Reply #2850 on:** June 07, 2016, 06:45:18 PM »

All the fights I've seen of it it never flipped a bot it always rammed and the flipper in the RWRA2 says it's shrimech not a flipper but I'm only going of what I've seen.

cephalopod · « **Reply #2851 on:** June 08, 2016, 04:40:21 AM »

Foxic is a lifter.

On the subject of Foxic (because I remember wondering this) I know that it has a working weapon in RWRA2+, but in the original mod, did it's weapon work? I don't think it was wired to anything but I can't remember if it was attached to a working burst motor or anything.

Now that I look at this after RA3's release, this mod seems like the RA3 we should've got. Nicer graphics, more bot lab content, interesting arenas... not sure how RA3 would've had replicas; I suppose it could have had imitations of famous robots. All that on top of the (GOOD) things RA3 brought to the series and we might have had the successor we've been waiting for. I mean, I'm happy with having amazing fan made mod and harbinger of silly clipping errors, but if they came together, it'd be quite the RA3, wouldn't it? ... Not the silly clipping errors, the good things, like the online (when it works) and the 5 layer chassis and the Steam Workshop.

Well I know im late to the party but I finally got this running nicely on Mac..

Props to the whole team involved this is an amazing mod, realistically the game fans probably deserved back in the height of Robot Wars popularity

Details are spot on too.. I even managed this in the first 30 seconds of the match..

jackster96 · « **Reply #2854 on:** July 25, 2016, 05:34:44 AM »

For those that haven't seen it there has been a new announcement on the facebook page.

R01 · « **Reply #2855 on:** July 25, 2016, 05:48:31 AM »

And here I thought I'd be the first one to do that arena. Good job to the team.

DeadGenocide · « **Reply #2856 on:** July 25, 2016, 06:45:00 AM »

that's looks pretty nice
~~still no envy though...~~
I don't know what the new robot wars 2016 bots are (well only some of them I know)
I wonder if they will put that in?

*look at the original post for the video*

Uhhh... how is this happening? Like, superb work in putting all this together, but surely now that the reboot is a thing, you guys don't have the rights to the Robot Wars name anymore? Unless this is becoming unofficial now... I'd certainly like to know why this has suddenly been announced, because I honestly don't really see this being included officially without some legal issues down the line.

Wouldn't the live shows have the same issue as well? I think there's a agreement here that we don't know of.

jackster96 · « **Reply #2859 on:** July 25, 2016, 07:49:00 AM »

They had an agreement for the live shows that's why they was able to use it in the mod, just depends if they have come to an agreement for the new series.
