Looking awesome, man. Think you could add the other wheels from AoD as well?
Depends on if I can find the textures for them or not.
Reskins ahoy.
Hardox extender. This extender will be the steel extender taken up to 11, being even heavier and having more HP than steel. weight is currently the same as the steel extender and will be scaled up.
This wheel is reskinned to distance itself from Pussycat, due to the guys who built it being, well, dead. That would put a pretty big hole in any chance of the rest of the RW:RA2 team getting permissions from them. This is the first reskin out of the bunch that was made and it shows. Not really a huge fan of the tread (which is literally just the "squares.tga" surface layer from stock over a blue background). Will
probably be redone.
White wheel made
solely to satisfy my whitewall wheel fetish to distance the wheel from Tornado, little did I realize when I was reskinning it that Tornado was actually in the pack (and uses pussycat wheels for some reason). Both this and the default tornado wheel will be available to use.
Green Tazbot wheel. It will be made heavier (around DSL techno wheel weight and grip).
Silver sawblades are cool and all, but honestly they looked kind of boring IMO. Shoutout to RW:ED for the sawblade texture.
I was originally going to skin this as the blue-ish carbon disk from AoD, but that looks too much like the weapon on Pussycat (who, again, will likely not be in the pack any time soon), so the McDonalds color scheme'd RW:ED palette will have to do. Couldn't find the texture for the equivalent of this weapon in ED's files though, otherwise I would just use that instead of making my own texture like I did for this and a flywheel that I'll show off later.
Red warning light. All of the "warning sirens" will be made into burst motors and make sound when fired. You won't be able to attach things onto these though, because that would be pretty stupid. The "RedLED" and "Eruption warning lights" currently selectable will likely be replaced with more colored warning lights similar to the one pictured. Weight will be scaled down along with the other warning lights.
Note that the only component here that has been balanced so far is the 60 cm sawblade and the Carbon Cutting Disk, the weights and displayed stats in the descriptions do not reflect their finalized stats. The balancing that I'm aiming for is so that every component will have fairly high stats and that you will be able to knock parts off of the AI robots with your robots fairly easily. Don't be surprised if robots score 6-digit amounts of points by the end of a 3 minute match.
In case you were wondering, balancing is currently
25% complete. Balancing should be 100% complete by Christmas at the latest, and then I can focus more on making more AI parts usable and making parts of my own.
