General Support / Re: Use custom music

There's a folder called "Music" in the RA2 directory. You can just put whatever music you want in there, and it'll play in the game. As long as it's an MP3 file.

Slow down, eager beaver.
 
In other news, I finally have that new rotating sig I was talking about a while back. =D More bots will be added to it in due course, when I find some decent battle shots/can be bothered.

nope.

i survived 3 days in france with just "i am the train station"
i went on the fact people are more likely to help you if they think they are cleverer. i said that to them, they thought i was some foreign retard (worryingly acurate) and so they spoke english at me.

That's one way of looking at it. Although there's also the possibility that they will simply think you're not worth helping and walk away, that's the flipside of it.

There's quite a few things you can do to improve. One of the first things to learn is to build the chassis around the components, rather than build an oddly-shaped chassis and fill it with whatever fits. It saves a huge chunk of weight that could be spent on weaponry and suchlike. Also, one of the simplest things you can do is swap square extenders for round ones. They do exactly the same job, for 60% less weight.

Something you might not have noticed, if you completely ignore the Armor tab when you're building your chassis, your robot is given armour that is the same weight as Aluminium, but stronger than Steel. You should only open up the Armour tab if you need to use Plastic armour for weight constraints on sub-Lightweight designs.

Droit and Gauche are left and right, but I forget which is which. Which is sort of important.

Problem with the rankings calculation, dividing by zero gives an answer of infinity. Or by "losses", do you mean how many times it was KO'd, or lost on points during the heats?

Not bad. You might want to try and get some longer stabilisers on the front, preferable 80cm Poly Skirts. If you swap the alu extenders holding the Piglet to Poly ones, that should give you enough weight for it.

Sweet. Maybe we can flog it to a collector or something. But if it does work, that'd be pretty good.

And I can still remember dial-up. That either means I've gotta good memory, or I'm older than I thought I was. I'm turning 20 in about five months. But you got that static tune, the kind of "EEEEEEEE-AAAAAAA-DEE-DURR-DE-DURR-DEEE-KKKKKKKKKKKKKK". That's all I can remember of it, though.

Might just be repetitive strain injury.

If you want to use the PA skirt as a wedge, though, swap it for a 40cm poly skirt. Lighter, and much, much wedgier. If you want to use it as a stabiliser, though, then retract the chassis, mount it on an ME, and try to get an extra battery in there. Also swap for the Blue CB for extra weight, you're 2.2kg overweight as it is.

My mum found a Commodore 64 up in the loft. =D Never tried seeing if it would work, though, it probably wont. Still in its original box and everything.
 
Has the forum suddenly become slow for anyone?

Looks decent. What I would do is remove the rear assembly, that's eating up a huge chink of weight that could either be used for batteries (flippers like this need as much battery power as you can get), or some more drive, it looks quite slow at the moment. And try to get metal hinge wedges as opposed to skirt hinges, they're generally stronger for getting under your opponents. And don't overlap the flippers like that. It compromises the wedginess of them, and it makes it easier for you to be flanked, like what happened in RIW3.

I have an original grey brick Game Boy somewhere, a green Game Boy Colour, and a Tribal SP. Used to have a black Advance, but that was broken when I headbutted it in a fit of rage. :gawe:
