small update: this is the current WIP plan for the angled extenders and 10cm.
essenitally this involves adding a 2nd set of angled parts with a different mesh to help improve external use compatibility
- top left: longer mesh with the same width as the default mesh
- bottom left: shorter and fatter mesh
- right: 10cms now have the mesh shifted downwards towards the default AP (as do the angled parts)
the base uncolored angles and 10cms probably aren't going to be changed as i know some people who don't use bfe still use them to do their internals
i will try to see if i can reduce the size of the meshes even more, but i don't think i can really go that much smaller with how heavily spammed these parts are
wedge edges are done like this. the actualy mesh ended up being a little longer than whats shown
i may potentially make an alt set that's thicker on the y-axis as some bots like claymore that use them in conjunction with triangle plates have issues with the current mesh
i do realize that an alternate set of parts may cause backwards compatibility issues with people who don't have the pack installed, so right now this isn't final, and there is a very good chance that both meshes end up completely different
finally, yes, some bots will have compatibly issues. however out of the 20 or so bots ive been testing with on parsec, only 2 of them actually needed to have modifications done, and said modifications took less than 5 minutes each (if you're wondering, both bots were non-bfe'd extender bots with relativity complex internal frames)
if people really cba to update their bots, or if you unironically think all of your bots are going to be unfixable, then do let me know so that i know that people are against this. i will say though that the patch does actually work in making extenderbots 10x more playable (ask plerco or kix who helped me test)
