Robot Arena 2 Lite

[FOTEPX]

Anyway, Important update; I'm planning to have this, which is the entire RA2 experience but on a smaller scale, and RA2 Core, where EVERYTHING that is not needed is removed. The only arenas are the Low Lag Arena, Lumazone and ClawTop (Or low lag varieties), and all texture would be removed.

So no other arenas, I was just getting interested

It's ok RPJK, I've decided against it.

So, everyone's cool with me removing Bridge Of Doom, Hill Top and Compressor?

In order to contribute and not just slow this down, i'm working on resizing the .bmp and .tga files in the Components folder to cut down sizes there.

Thanks DSC. Send them over when you're done.

Download, extract and overwrite files.Broken, check page 4.

Knocked them down to 16x16, both bmp and tga files. Shrunk the total size by about half.

Small problem; you've done it with the DSL components. Also, don't alter the skins of the motors; it crashes the game.

My apologies. However, I guess if you ever decide to do a DSL Lite...

On the motors thing though, that may just be RA2-specific. Testing in DSL, exhibition matches with both AI bots and my own, i've not come had any crashes.

You never know, I might do a DSL Lite. Neways, it does seem to be an RA2 specific thing. I thought I'd compressed something wrong when I first ran into it.

Some thumb this guy up for helping me on this. Your name'll be in the credits, mah friend

Here's the Readme for RA2L.


Hey there, how are you doing? This is Robot Arena 2 Lite, a fanmade hack by FOTEPX of Gametechmods. If you have found this hack on anywhere else
other than FOTEPX's signature or the Robot Arena 2 Lite thread, please contact me on Bamzookiman130@googlemail.com, and tell me where you found it.
Thank you.

Robot Arena 2 Lite is a hack of Robot Arena 2. The purpose of Robot Arena 2 Lite is to remove anything that will not be nessescary to the game,
therefore hopefully removing lag and other game-based issues. All textures in the game have been simplified, and some arenas have been removed.
Also, since everything pointless has been removed and everything with a point has been compressed, we've managed to cut down the original game
from 300MB to a staggering 78MB. This means that this version of the game is not only faster downloading, but easier to add things to since it's
so stripped down.

Kudos goes out to;
FOTEPX (Made It)
JoeBlo (Helped with Ideas)
Dragonsteincole (Simplyfied some textures)
All of Gametechmods (For providing support whilst making the hack and just being a blast to be around in general (Yes, even the ponyfags))
YOU! (For downloading it)

Thanks very much for reading and have fun kicking some robot butt!

Yours,
FOTEPX.

RA2 Lite textures. Download, extract and overwrite files. Simples.

Done for RA2, motors tested, no errors. I think your issue with the motors was however you were editing them was changing properties other than the size (i.e changing palette/colours used.).

And just realised a 'big' error with the DSL ones... mainly, another .rar inside with the backup of the components folder. Whoops.

You edited the motor's skins...

So it don't work in stock. I appreciate you trying, but just leave the motor skins alone, thanks.

[dragonsteincole]

Yes I edited the motor's skins, after I tested them in Stock to see if I could replicate these crashes. I did 3 matches in Stock with AI bots and my own bots, which have motors visible, and I had 0 crashes. If someone else could test these in their game and report back it'd help, but right now I can't replicate these crashes you're having.

No, go into making a new bot, and click on the Mechanics tab. That's what buggers it.

Still working. I'm not trying to annoy you, I genuinely cannot make RA2 crash with these textures

Huh. Odd...

[FOTEPX]

It works now. V3 is up - well it would be, but I have to go. Expect it tommorow!
