Ironforge TC Showcases / rnifnuf's Ironforge Cavalcade of Contraptions
« on: August 24, 2014, 02:26:31 AM »
Hello and good evening to you (sweet things that aren't sweet I haven't said that in forever).

This is the inaugural post of my Ironforge showcase. Some people tell me to start small. I tell some people to go to hell.

Armor is Plastic 10. N-12's are wide. The internal temperature of the room that houses the Luxor's 39 xenon light beams can reach 300°F/149°C.

This is Secret Sweeper, a SHW SnS that follows Ironforge Standard rules. Each bar is 120cm long with a 5-weapon array. All four arrays have a 40cm axe on each of their five attachment points, making for 20 total weapons. The shell is actually built off of a baseplate anchor on the bottom of the baseplate. I attached the main disc, which occludes the chassis, to the anchor, attaching the smallest shell plates to the main disc. Other discs were added at the top and bottom of the plates. Then, the drive and weapons were added to the shells on the outside.

Fun fact: This bot was initially a flail SnS. I removed the flails to increase knockback, as in how far the target bot is knocked back upon impact. I question whether or not this was a wise decision.

ADVANTAGES:
+Fast, omni-directional spinning
+Raw destructive power
+Good defenses

DISADVANTAGES:
-Low battery power (four small batteries is all that will fit with the disc).

Thoughts?

Band somehow sucks more than pneumonia. So I made a MuseScore account and started writing my own music.

I recently went back and deleted three of the four of my old modification idea threads, although I will probably delete the last remaining one.

Why did I delete these threads? Because they were made before it clicked that I was "doing it wrong."

I started to think it over and now I have a modification idea that doesn't suck: Perm-80/Perm132 drives. Kinda like E-tek drives except with perms. In other words, Perms with big rectangles on them.



Thoughts?

Tournament Archives / rnifnuf's first tournament-discussion
« on: September 28, 2013, 07:12:48 PM »
Hello and good evening to you.

I have three ideas for tournaments.




I am not green-ticking these because I don't know if I will have the time to start them.
Thoughts?

Hello and good evening to you.

I think that MrAwesumsauce is worthy of the advanced user title. What do you think?

General Support / Some bots are missing from team folders (IS SOLVED)
« on: August 24, 2013, 03:13:21 PM »
Okay, this game is on crack on crack on speed on meth on weed on crack on shrooms on crack :gawe:

Take a look at this:



All six slots on this team are filled, yet only bots 3-5 appear.

OS is Windows 7 Home Premium and RA2 Version is 1.3 CD with no mods.

What should I do to fix it?

General Support / No Exportation
« on: July 24, 2013, 07:05:43 PM »
Hello and good evening to you.

This game LIED TO ME :vista:

When I exported my bot, the .bot file didn't show up in my Robot Designs folder.

All of my bots have names that Windows 7 allows for file names.

Also, in my Team1 folder in my Teams folder, only Bot5.bot appears even though all six slots are filled.

RA2 Version is 1.3 CD.

I must ask, what the magnets is going on and how do I fix it?

Stock Showcases / rnifnuf's Stock Cavalcade of Crap
« on: July 23, 2013, 12:27:37 AM »
Hello and good evening to you.

Have you seen this "rnifnuf" n00b? That guy thinks that he's better than to build in stock.

He's not.

First off, a VS. And guess what:

Surprise. It's Ripblade 2X.

This was literally built off of the chassis of the original Ripblade.

Yes, armor is still Titanium. Can someone please provide the Scrapper's font for me so I can change the armor to DSA and re-skin R2X?

Most of the first bots in this showcase will be remakes of stock AI bots. Deal with it... please?

Absolutely unbeatable... by stock AI standards.

Thoughts?

General Support / Funky LumaZone Texture (DSL)
« on: July 21, 2013, 01:24:00 PM »
Hello and good evening to you.

For some reason, the LumaZone texture is funky.

Armor is--oh wait, this isn't the showcase board.

Anyways, DSL version is 2.1, ready-to-go.

Any ideas?

General Support / RA2 Rejects Mods
« on: July 12, 2013, 12:49:30 AM »
Hello and good evening to you.

I am currently quite  :vista: at this time.

Why, you ask? Get this: every time I install a mod for RA2 (Except DSL, which is run from a separate folder entirely) the game crashes at the screen with the giant Infogrames logo  :realmad(

It also happens in DSL!

My Stock version is 1.3 installed from the CD, and my DSL version is 2.1.

The only mods I really want to install on both versions are Unlimited Mass and Bigger Max Sphere (Mostly unlimited mass). Unlimited Mass does not work on either version.

https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=14312.0

It started happening after this was solved.

What do I do so that I can install Unlimited mass without Stock or DSL crashing and, as a result, go from  :realmad( to  :mrgreen:?

Trov's Edit: I fixed the formatting for the link.

EDIT 7/12/2013 4:45pm PDT: I have Cherry Flavored's Antiballast for Stock and it works just fine, although it changed the texture of the regular ballast. I don't have anything for DSL.

General Support / NO DSL WHATSOEVER! *HOORAY! IS SOLVED!*
« on: July 07, 2013, 01:15:28 AM »
Hello and good evening to you.

Here's the story:

Ever since discovering the wonders of DSL on May 19, 2013, I turned my back on Stock. That changed earlier today (July 6, 2013)

I vastly improved all of my main stock bots (Coming soon: rnifnuf's Cavalcade of Stock Crap), so I feel more confident in my stock building skills.

THIS is where the problems start.

After spending some time in C:\Program Files (x86)\Infogrames\Robot Arena 2\Robot Arena 2.exe with Cherry Flavored's Anti-Ballast installed, I decided to spend some time in G:\PC Games\DSL 2.1\Robot Arena 2.exe (My main DSL directory)

It got to the first screen for a second, then stopped completely. It told me that "Windows couldn't find a solution to the problem" after DSL crashed.

This was a Ready-To-Go version of DSL 2.1 downloaded from the RA2 Wiki.

HERE is the kicker:

My backup DSL did the same thing!

I extracted the DSL files from the RAR again and ran DSL directly from there: SAME STINKING OUTCOME  :vista:

Maybe the problem was how I ran DSL in the first place: I put the extracted DSL folder on a flash drive and ran the DSL straight from there.

NOW comes the question, the answer to which may be the solution to my conundrum.

How do I properly install DSL AND be able to run both DSL and stock?

I know I sound like a complete and total n00b, but I would appreciate any help to solve my conundrum so I can be  :mrgreen:, maybe even  :dance: as opposed to :vista:

Discussion / Carbon Fiber Armor/Extenders
« on: June 27, 2013, 01:33:37 AM »
Hello and good evening to you.

Antweights are tough to build because of the weight constraints. Carbon Fiber (CF) Armor and proper extenders should help.

Carbon Fiber armor is as light as a feather and just as resilient.

CF 1: 2 mass, 100 health
CF 3: 6 mass, 325 health
CF 5: 10 mass, 540 health
CF 10: 22 mass, 1440 health.

As for carbon fiber extenders, just make them like normal extenders: round and six attachment points.

...You know, just a thought...

(EDIT) For reasons of reasons, please skip the first two pages. Start at page 3.

Say it with me now: Hello and good evening to you.

So I heard you are building a popup.

Here, use this beast as a template



Not impressed? Just look at this:

Same robot, just cooler.

RNF-0032II "Cutting Wedge II" is the name. Where is your robot now?

Look at the insides:


Quite frankly, I don't really care about going overkill on batteries. I like my bots to have plenty of power for long matches.
Magmotors+Wide ant wheels=Zero Ground Clearance and still decently fast.
EIGHT razors fly out at your opponent for maximum damage. Each polycarbonate rack of four is individually controlled by two BSG-200 burst motors
Titanium 3 armor gives it maximum defense while keeping it below 400Kg.
The Titanium sheet wedge has slipped CW under countless bots and led it to glorious victory.

This thing will devour everything in its path.

Here it is mangling SlashBack:

Not impressed?

It can even take out some heavyweights. Just ask poor Backyard Shredder.


And it isn't even done.


Uh, never mind.

Not even community-made bots stand a chance.


Poor Smashbox. How could this get any worse for him?


Everyone, bow down to your new Middleweight God, or else you shall RUE the day you tangoed with...


RNF-0032II "Cutting Wedge II"

P.S. I still have Cutting Wedge I. Same chassis, mag snappers, large ants, skirt wedges. Less resistant to attacks, but self-rights easier.

General Support / DSL Stops Working
« on: June 13, 2013, 11:55:28 PM »
Hello and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH to you.

As if the Compressor Arena and Ocean Platform crashing wasn't bad enough, now the WHOLE GAME stopped working!

The game starts at the screen with all of the logos. It stays there for some time before crashing! NNNNNNNNGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!  :realmad(
This has happened TWICE. The first time, I closed the game at the bot repair screen during an event. The second time this happened, I closed the battle in an event with Alt+F4.
I still have both folders on my flash drive. Neither of them can run DSL.
No other files have been affected by this event.
What do I do to fix these games?

Potentially helpful info:
OS: Windows 7 Pro SP1 (I don't know why I got Win 7 Pro; Don't ask questions)
DSL Version: 2.1, Downloaded from the RA2 Wiki

General Support / Compressor Arena Crashes
« on: May 12, 2013, 10:04:57 PM »
Hello and good evening to you.

I have DSL 2.1 running on Windows 7 pro, and I would like to know...

WHY THE STRAWBERRIES DOES IT CRASH WHEN I ENTER THE COMPRESSOR ARENA?

Seriously! The match starts, but the bots don't move. The game crashes within ten seconds.

This also happens with the ocean platform arena.

What's strange is that the rest of the game runs just fine. So whenever this happens, I go from :mad1: to :mad: to ::2mad to :realmad( finally to :vista:

How do I fix this so I can stop being  :vista:?
