Unwrapping works somehow. Texture manually extracted from file as .PNG

Daumn, that's a good start, man. Keep at it, and before long we might have fully functioning RA2 robots in other programs! 
Now we just need someone to upload all the .obj models.

Spent a few hours on this. It loads directly from the default player team bot0.bot, bot1.bot, and bot2.bot. I also experimented with loading the textures which are also included in the save file into Unity, but Unity does not natively support .tga files. I found a .tga loader online, but did not manage to get any results from it. However, unwrapping should be easy as it's all included in the file, and a workaround to the textures could be extracting them from the file, then converting them to .png. So far the importer only builds the chassis shape with a default texture applied and no unwrapping.

Okay this is definitely possible. If none else then I'll take the first step and try to implement .bot files into Scrapmatch so players can play both bots made in RA2 and bots made in Scrapmatch against eachother (cool eh?). However, I can't do this alone. To load bots from RA2 We'll need all the component models from the standard unmodified version extracted as .obj files. Any volunteers?

The first batch is the preview image if the bot has one (visible in screenshot) and the second batch is the chassis texture (not visible in screenshot).
Alright, those parts we can skip. Any idea exactly how the chassis values are to be read? We need corner point coordinates or something like that to construct the chassis

I heard someone mentioning the death of Scrapmatch. I've just been away for some practice. Here's an update for you. Probably best to show it in a picture.  The game now fully saves and loads all sorts of components. It's not very optimized but once it is, I'll start adding functionality for attaching components to other components (wheels on motors on extenders on chassis). Once all of that is done I'll give you a new version to play with. I've also found a game named "Game About Vehicles" which is made in unity and has exactly the type of physics I am looking for, ultimately proving that Scrapmatch CAN be completed in Unity instead of porting to another engine like Source. I just gotta either find out how or ask the guy ( Russian I think) who made it. Furthermore I just started on a 3D modelling college, meaning more time for Scrapmatch than what I had on the previous school.

Loading .bot files into a Unity environment? Hmm. Not a bad idea. I'm just gonna download the game and study the save files for a while.
EDIT: Alright.. Anybody got some terminology on this?
(Image removed from quote.)
You're gonna want to use Notepad+ on bot files.
Ah yes. Makes a little more sense now. But still. All that cryptic data gotta be for something

I take it you will add speed & tourque later?
Definitely. It'll have the same as RA2, just more.

 Exam time is rough, but I've managed to pull off a little progress. Here's a not-so-pancake'y motor with two attachment points; one on the bottom and one on the rod. For those of you who are interested, here is the moddable code that determines attachment points, models, preview image, name etc. Several models can be attached to the same component This is a very early model and will later include complex functionality as well. name:Pancake motor
cat:2
weight:0.200
desc:Extra large.
preview:preview_pancake_motor
models:pancake_motor?(0.000, 0.000, 0.000)?(0.100, 0.100, 0.100)?(0.000, 0.000, 0.000)
attach:(0.000, -0.010, 0.000)?(90.000, 90.000, 0.000):(0.000, 0.100, 0.120)?(0.000, 0.000, 0.000)

5. Far cry 3 - Battling the Ink Monster before having sex with some sect leader 4. Far cry 3: Blood Dragon - The entire intro scene. Neon, explosions and a gattling gun. ****in' love it. 3. Alice: Madness Returns - Pretty much every cutscene in this game is genious 2. Dwarf Fortress - 1. ObsCure - So I was playing this game with a friend of mine in a dark room on an old, battered PS2. We find this broken elevator shaft, and after wasting all my pistol ammo trying to hit the thing that was jamming the mechanism, we finally get it working. We ride it to the first floor which is very dark. We stumble out trying to find a light switch, and fail. My friend decides to waste his precious flashlight battery to aid us finding the switch. He swaps on the flashlight, and in the corner we see this fat creature of tentacles and hair, staring at us. Its darkness spreads across the floor, too dark to be lit up by the flashlight. I quickly pull out my ready loaded shotgun, and fire every shell I have at the thing. The shotgun sound change into a *click* *click* *click* and the thing is slightly wounded, but far from dead. This is when larvae start to pour out beneath it, slowly making their way towards us. The flashlight dies and all we see is black, waiting for a 'game over'.

Just a question, will you be trying to make a piston powered flipper?
Piston powered.. perhaps. The mechanism here involves more than one axle point which could prove tricky. I'll give it a shot

Nice idea! Is it only going to be for battery packs, or maybe you could have multiple motors with one axle to be like a gearbox? Also will you be able to load your own models?
It's going to be the spine in every available component. Everything from motors to flamethrowers to flamethrowing motors will be created in this. However, the main issue is model import. Since Unity does not natively support importing models at runtime, I've tried messing around with a third-party importer which only works 50% of the time, and only when there is no UV layout on the model, which makes it really hard to use. I decided just to scrap that idea. However, I am going to spend a lot of time creating a huge bunch of bits and pieces so that you guys have something to work with. Really good idea! I guess it'll be easier to add custom components to this then
Indeed it will. The components you make will be stored in simple text files and can be used on your own server.

Been busy studying for finals, and now that I finally got some spare time I decided to pick it up again. I ran into some problems with loading external models, so instead, as a temporary solution I'll be including a component mod tool in the game for everyone, including myself to use. Here's an early screenshot of it.  PS: Finals included something with an Arduino and some motors. My product was quite funny imo. Here's footage if interested.

In what file format you currently import assets/models to game? I am not sure about how much i can help but i will try my best(its been ages since i used unity, or devloped indie games. (more than 1.5 years)
I've tried with .obj models. But really, any file that works would be great. I'm thinking about creating a custom format so I can read it easier, but that'd take ages. I'm already using custom file formats for robot save files.

This game looks to have SO MUCH potential.
Also do you accept new members to your team?
I suck at scripting ( i script like a 70 years old blind man), but i will ask my friend is he interested, he is beginninger in 3D modeling, but good in scripting(aperantly he has scripted for ca 6-9 years.
Actually I could use some assistance. Progress has been halting for a while since i'm improving my 3D modelling skills If you can help me with making sturdy physics joints or find me a way to import models at runtime that'd be great.

It's been a while,so I thought I'd update you with the current state of the project.
I've been working on the addition of components to the game, and since I wanted it to be fully moddable I've run into some issues. First I began creating a component editor, however I figured it'd be too much work so I postponed that feature. The second issue is the model importer. While Unity's models are automatically compressed during compilation of the game, external models are not. This means I've had to resort to a third-party .obj importer script which has a few missing features here and there. For example; models are imported without an UV layout, meaning that the models have only one color. I'm trying to find a workaround but despite the graphical difficulties, the game will continue.

Yeah I'm trolling my own thread. This is what Obama did to me.
