Chatterbox / Re: Here's what I think

I relate to sparkboy here.

I was in a very similar position you are in now about 5-ish years ago.  I was modding halo back then, and I was using the halomods.com forum (they no longer exist, and for good reason).  Anyways, I was a kid.  I said and did stupid stuff, and I made threads like this.

It's all about perspective.  You'll get older and say to yourself, "Gee, that was dumb.  Why the hell would I do that?"    The reason was cus your a kid and you didn't know any better.  You'll learn in time, one way or another.

Just a few tips for the road:
-Be patient.
-Think before you act.
-Learn to listen, listen to learn.
-The best way to repair any kind of relationship with anyone is not to upset them in the first place.  That being said, any kind of ruined relationship can be repaired but it's hard and time consuming.  Your not going to gain favor overnight.

If you want any kind of help or advice, feel free to PM me.  I haven't been on these forums long so I've yet to see you do anything to ruin my general disposition towards you.

I've delt with kids all the time (I was previously an admin on a Gmod server).

It's all about maturity.  Think before you do stuff.  Don't be rash, don't be impulsive, and keep in mind that other people are seeing what you post on the other side, they're not just "talking heads," so to speak.

That's the only advice I can give you.  With age comes experience.  I suppose you'll learn what you've done wrong in time.

Calling women fat is a deathwish though... wouldn't make a habit of it if I were you.  ;P

You haven't seen rachel. :P

That, and for some reason she doesn't mind being verbally abused by everyone she meets on the internet.

Heya...you might want to crop your images. ;)

Yeah I'll use Photobucket from now on (it resizes the images).

I like your Bot Lab UI. :D

Wonky's spinners need to be more up front, so that they hit more stuff. Also, you're using Starcore 3 right? After you get really good at building, get the Starcore 4 alpha. I'm pretty sure there's a link in VB's showcase.

Wonky's spinners are in the back (and are mounted on snappers) for a reason.  If I press a button, the snappers fire and move the spinners up to the front.  I have them in the back by default in order to protect the rear area...

...and cus it looks cool. :P

Also, I'll look into that starcore thing.

There's a kid in my school called Ryan who calls everyone whales!

That whale thing is a running joke me and a bunch of friends have had.  That, and making fun of her Canadian accent.

I made another robot, and this one's actually pretty decent.  He's got two spinners on burst motors that can move in toward the front of the robot.  He also has a big spike strip in the front, which is more for deflecting rams than actually ramming other robots.  I called him wonky because the two back wheels are on a burst motor.  This gives them a shock absorber effect, which makes the robot bounce a bit.





Wonky in action.  Notice how I carelessly got my spikes ripped off.

He ripped his eyes out?  Event Horizon much?

Fraps is good when you get it to work but be wary.

I've used it before, and after recording for some time the sound and video start coming out of sync.  You gotta keep starting and stopping it to avoid this.  I don't know if its just me, though.

Not an hybrid

Don't know what that is to be honest.

Well he has 180kgs left.
Also BOTM is supposed to be anonymous, that means no-one is supposed to know your entry before voting has finished. So get to building another one from scratch and dont tell anyone its yours, it just could affect who will and will not vote for it, tough I wouldnt have voted for that bot anyways.

Well yeah I was pretty certain I wasn't gonna enter it as soon as I crossed the axles and picture 3 happened.

I made a quick attempt to make something for BOTM, but I might end up scrapping it cus it's really glitchy.  The weapon is really effective though.




Don't cross the axles.

Another odd thing about the rupting, if I don't have a ton of battery power then then flipper doesn't rupt.

No, the Source engine won't cut it. The physics are way too glitchy.

I think source is going to get a major update with the advent of Portal 2.  I think they may be more focussed on visuals (dynamic lighting support) but I'm just putting it out there.

Ok well I could try some more stuff out, but not for a while.  I just had to reinstall windows so there's a bunch of crap I need to get sorted first.

I made it a middleweight by starting from scratch.  I still was barely able to fit everything.

He means if you've made a rupt flipper using 2 DDTs for the rupters, it should be a Middleweight.

Really?  I'm really bad at efficiently using space then, because I'm having a hard time fitting everything into a small heavyweight chassis.

Oh, that doesn't like rupting.
BTW 2 rupting DDT's should be MW.

I can't make any sense of that.
