It is very easy. Go to your Arena's folder. Go into the folder of the arena that you want to change (box for example for the combat arena), open the Preview image into a image editing program (I use Paint.net, but for less advanced users, use MS paint.), edit the image and save, the same thing applies to the images within the maps folder. I don't know if ms paint handles .tga files, but I know that Paint.net does. It is just another image name like .bmp, png, and gif, except it is integrated onto a 3d model as a skin. Simply edit it as you wish and save.

My advice is to stick with the original layout of the map images. They are arranged in a way that would wrap around the 3d object cleanly. If you are going with a completely different look, remember the orientation of those different "parts" of the image.

Discussion / HOW TO MAKE MORE COOL GRAPHIC IN RA2
« on: August 21, 2008, 07:28:38 AM »
@ Death: That is your personal opinion, I personally admire Radeon cards, and I can still play RA2 with it (while having a Vista OS), as well as every other game.

I have an ATI Radeon X1250

Cool, you're the man mad. Thanks...

Oh ok, so the code is implemented as throwing an opponent in relation to its position on the floor? If so, that explains why wrestler was sometimes just randomly "squeezing" the opponent.

Out of curiosity. Are you also creating/skinning an arena? If not, as with any one who hasn't, I will try to skin one for you.

Oops forgot about that method... That's what I get for always using 1.3.

Type in "cheatbot2" in place of your bots name in the HQ, then go to components. You should have all the hidden "cheat" parts at your disposal. Including the Snapper 2 motor

Could you explain the AI code "wrestle"? I love how it throws the opponent.
 
Another thing, would you mind if I use those AI scripts for Legends Unleashed? I have tons of boss ideas for your great work... (of course I will give credit as well)

Cool. That's what I did to my version of RA2 with my new ATI Radeon graphics card...

General Support / Playing videos using python?
« on: August 19, 2008, 11:51:36 AM »
Would there be a way to display a video file (wmv, avi, etc.)
using python code?

If so, then what would the code be/how would it be done?

Thanks for replies.

Back, apologies guys for the delay. I just got settled into my college dorm room and i am in between classes right now (only have an hour to use the computer before my class starts). Today I just setup the internet on my toshiba satellite A305, so i may not have as much time as i used to. I think i get off at around 4 or so.

Also I did get the teams. Since I moved all of my data to my new computer (using vista sadly), the time it takes to create Unlock ables may be a little bit increased. However, I can now record video thanks to my new ATI Radeon graphics card. As the old mask maker from the legends of zelda, Majora's Mask once said: "Just have patience."

Expect your bots battle videos upon your character's unlockables!

@ Death - don't worry about the deadline, I am going to move it to the later date i mentioned earlier. As for tactics, I usually played around with the simple py. files (Pusher, Rammer, etc.) and ajusted their variables to get interesting results (adjusting the forward angle parameters of the pusher py file to get the plow AI). As you get better, you should try using more complex AI such as spinner and Flipper.

OR

You can simply build a bot within the standard AI "rules" and alter the way it works.  A good example is my bot, the infamous 'Jaws'. It is really a Omni bot designed to attack its opponent is a scissor-like fashion. Doing more damage in half the time.

Stock Showcases / Gigafrost's Showcase

Yeah, the ramplate is supposed to serve as a little srimech in case it is ever flipped.

This is my next LW VS









This is also another pic of the insides. In case it is hard to see


As you can see, it is wider at the top than the bottom. This was to simply fit in the black batt, and of course, give it a more unique look. As I previously forgot to mention, the robot used a snowplow and also has tilted wheels.

It's been a while since I was able to create a showcase, and I'm probably one of the only ones who hasn't recently made one, so here it goes.

I'm starting out with a MW Vertical Spinner: Duo-Damage

weight: 393.4












Duo-Damage uses  2  HP-Zteks, hence the name. It has 6 razors mounted on tribars, as well as a srimech and snowplow. The "slow motors" are angled in a way to kind of move it out of the way of  rammers, if attacked from behind.

It uses 1 black batt and one purple(added simply for extra weight). It uses DSA Armor as well.

I will post more once I get a chance.

Good to see everyone flowing with their ideas on how they want their character to be like!

I have recently opened a poll to further see the majority of all of your personalities.
You are able to select more than one option, but remember that your vote WILL be seen by everyone... If you play around with the options, I will create a personality for your character myself.
