I am new so how do I make a showcase?

I am new so how do I make a showcase?

First, make a bot. Try to make it as well as you can. You can make it in stock (default game), or DSL or Ironforge (mods made by the community, don't worry about it if you don't know what they are yet)

Then, take clear pictures of the inside of the bot, so we can see all of the componenets, and maybe a screenshot mid-battle. Then crop the screenshots nicely and upload them to your image hosting site of choice (You can go to the GTM image uploader here). If you're unsure of what your screenshots should look like, check the most recent posts in someone else's showcase to see how they've done it.

Then, make a thread in the relevant section (Click for Stock, DSL or Ironforge showcase sections), post the links to the pictures surrounded by img tags, like this:



So it shows up as a nice picture like this: instead of a link.

Lastly, just wait for other users to give you advice. You might get an overwhelming amount of advice as a newbie, but try to take as much of it onboard as you can and, more importantly, implement that advice.

Welcome to Gametechmods. You're ours now. Here's what you can expect. You'll stay for a while, see a few threads, learn a bit, and see a few new things. You'll bookmark the place for further reference. This is where it all begins. Before too long, you'll find yourself checking on GTM in increased frequencies. First it'll happen occasionally during the week. Then once every day or so. Then more frequently. You'll find yourself checking on it twice a day. Three times. Once per hour. Before you know it, you'll be browsing it for hours at a time. Slowly, your life will take a back-seat to Gametechmods. You'll find yourself forgetting to call people. You'll be late for work because you'll be reading showcase threads. Slowly, your life will decline into a mindless chaos. As GTM slowly consumes your mind, your humor will be replaced with our humor. You'll become glued to GTM. It'll be the only place you feel accepted. And then, you'll start accepting the robotic combat community. You'll find yourself browsing the Battlebots wiki, the Robot Wars wiki, BuildersDB, and all sorts of odd things you used to find boring. But now it'll all be commonplace for you, as a normal part of your life. Your personality. And then, someday down the road, you'll realize what has happened to you. Your loved ones will have left you. You'll be alone. Unemployed. Struggling to survive. And worst of all, you'll be hooked. You won't be able to fight it, because we will be all you know, and all you remember. You'll slowly dissolve into madness, or mindless stupidity. Whichever comes first. And then, one day, you will snap, and all remains of your former self will be crushed under our weight. Welcome, my friend. Welcome, my brother. Welcome to your new home. Welcome to Gametechmods.

Unless you're me, in which case you just check the forums every 5 minutes anyway. But seriously, dude. Welcome!

Pretty much this. But at some point you'll get obsessed enough to design and build your own real robot. Then you're REALLY sucked in for life.

Welcome, Robman. Bit of a strange name, but I am willing to accept it. If you need any basic n00by advice, just ask me.
