the first one is better

click: that is true, but most dont know how to skin or are too lazy to do so(like me, i know how to skin but i dont know how to do transparent stuff), and if people change the skins on their current components, others wont see them in those colours online or when they download the bot.

Nice extenders sage :D

I prefer the 2nd ghost spike. I like it because you'll be able to see better when you are losing your weapons.

Make all parts transparent ...
I want to see total ghost bot ...
Is it posible to make a part with different % of transparent on different places on it ?
And keep the good working...

im going to, i didn't know you could see ghosts (;-)),only parts with 2 sections (like maces, Controlboard), thank you.

robo, i think im gonna keep it nigh-invisible. its easier to see than you think. just the angle i took it, looks harder to see than it is.

some plows ive been working on:

it says 7 options because i also have a plain black one, a white one which will be used like Click suggested, for the user to make their own skin, and a ghost plow.

tell me what you like!

EDIT: robo, i just noticed the first spike was .9 and and the 2nd was .7 (1 is invisible). im gonna put it at .8.

Remember folks, Sage is already doing all the work of making additional styles in dropdown menus. That means if you want your own custom skins, like a brick pattern ramplate, you just need to edit some of Sage's skins. Everything else is already there.

Yep. That's exactly what I will be doing. Although some of Sage's ones are really cool looking.

But how could you change all the names in the dropdown folder?

im going to include a white "custom" style for each component. you can make your own skin on that.

Once you have the cfz decompiled back into txts:
We'll use the Round Extender.

Just change 2 things:
1. Change the skin itself (easy).
2. Edit each component's txt:

a) For the default component (the one you first see in the displayed row of components in the BotLab), open the txt of that component and look for
"name = Round Extender".
Whatever you write in the place of 'Round Extender' will be what you see displayed as its name, in-game.
Then you can also change the Description:
"description = Standard round extender. Available in..."
Edit the orange here too and this description can be much longer...
That's all for the default component.

b) For the 'Styles' (drop-down menu items), if you look at the section in the default txt, there is a line called
“styles = …..”
Following this, you’ll see a list of components and their sizes.
"20 cm, extender2.txt, 40 cm, extender3.txt, 60 cm, …..”,
The first is the default component’s size
“20 cm”.
All thereafter are the ‘Styles’ (drop-down menu) items and their sizes that follow.
...., extender2.txt, 40 cm, extender3.txt, 60 cm, …..”,
Just change these to whatever you want (but it must be short).

Hope this helps,.. make a back up always... and it's not as hard as it might seem, ask Sage. If you've more questions feel free to ask.

(The 'Styles' folder is in the main Components directory.)

it is easy. any word on the plows?

Madiaba · « **Reply #68 on:** June 24, 2008, 08:19:37 PM »

Well I like all of them, but the 'Rippled Silver' one looks like Stainless steel and very realistic. Cool.
I was wondering Sage, if you could make one look like a stock yellow Fisher snow plow, with a black ink blot. You're in Minn. so I'm sure you know what I mean... Just a thought.

Sage · « **Reply #69 on:** June 24, 2008, 10:53:27 PM »

this is about the best i can do. thats because the plows skin themselves oddly.

Madiaba · « **Reply #70 on:** June 24, 2008, 11:30:37 PM »

Wow. That's nice. Looks genuine.
Can't you invert that Fisher logo (by itself)?

Sage · « **Reply #77 on:** July 02, 2008, 10:20:55 PM »

Madiaba · « **Reply #78 on:** July 03, 2008, 12:20:03 AM »
