Modifications / RWRA2 ICR Edit
« on: February 19, 2021, 04:00:06 PM »
I was given permission by cephalopod to release my fan made edit of RWRA2 that I worked on as a personal project a few years ago. It is available on the downloads section if anyone else is interested in downloading it. Full credit goes to the original creators of the mod and everything else that I was sent by others or downloaded myself, this is merely a personal project that I worked on and I'm now happy that I can share this with others

Real Robotics Discussion / Getting started on robot building

I am hoping to start getting into building real robots, specifically smaller ones like Antweights. Anyone have any suggestions on the first step of getting started?

Discussion / TVF and FRA
« on: October 23, 2019, 04:12:02 PM »
So I recently remembered an old Youtube user from around 2007 that used to upload Robot Arena 2 videos. His name was 3908productions and he did a small tournament called TVF where he would do battles online with one of his friends. Not long after around April 2008 he started another series called FRA in which he filmed heats similar to Robot Wars where he would control some of his creations against bots from the DSL pack. I remember he had bots called Cheese Grater 2.1, Lazer Hetey, Skurge and Odd-Looking Maniac. I also remember him making a small movie that was supposed to be a two-parter called Attack of the Pon2n where the titular robot would attack Chaos 2, Hypno-Disc, Storm II and Razer. Unfortunately, none of his projects were ever finished and a couple of years ago, he deleted all of his content. These vids are particularly nostalgic because they were uploaded when YouTube was just starting out and are some of my earliest memories with the website. They were filmed with just a camcorder pointing at the computer screen. Does anyone else remember these videos because I'm making sure they weren't just some fever dream. I really would do anything to watch them again.

Real Robotics Discussion / Robonerd 2019
« on: October 09, 2019, 05:16:21 PM »
So this is probably outdated but I'm surprised that no one has brought this up yet. Did anyone go to Robonerd this past August? I did and I loved it, even though I'm not a roboteer. It was awesome to meet people who had been on the TV show such as Simon Harrison, Andrew Marchant, John Denny, Adam Clark and many more that I didn't get round to speak to. I also met Youtubers OrangeDoseOverJuice, mystrsyko2 and Votesaxon07. It truly was a dream come true to see all the robots and builders. I'm definitely going next year.

Modifications / Debenham Robot Rumble arena
« on: August 23, 2019, 12:56:29 PM »
So I made this custom arena based on the Debenham Robot Rumble arena from 2000. I took the Generic Arena because it had a chain link fence round the side and I just reskinned the floor. I also reskinned over the hazards because the real arena had none and I'm hoping I can find a way to deactivate them instead of having to do it manually. I also need to remove the purple lighting in the corners and alter the outside lighting as well. Can anyone help me out with removing the hazards completely and retexturing the lighting? Thanks!

General Support / Arena Previews
« on: July 04, 2019, 12:49:35 PM »
So I wanted to change the arena preview for the Sao Paulo Scrapyard in RWRA2 but even though the BMP and notebook have the same names (both are scrapyard_preview.bmp), in the game it's just a white screen. What am I doing wrong? I did end up putting two preview files in at the same time and it ended up changing the notebook as well, like it had listed two previews. Has that messed it up or something? I tried changing the name to saopaulo_preview.bmp but still nothing. Will I have to reinstall the arena and try again?

Does anyone know if there's an arena to download that's similar to this one? Just a plain wooden square with metal railings.

General Support / AI weapons not working
« on: October 03, 2018, 03:42:34 PM »
OK, so I'm having trouble when it comes to AI weapons. The robots move just fine but for some reason the weapons don't activate when a bot comes near (e.g. axes don't fire when robots come in range, flippers don't flip when robots are on the flippers). Am I doing something wrong like using the wrong type of smartzone, the smartzone isn't being named correctly, the analogs have been given the wrong name or the bindings have the wrong weapon type when assigned to a robot? Can someone help me out?

Modifications / Robot Arena 2: Stock 'n' Roll
« on: September 25, 2018, 02:52:03 PM »
New mod that I'll be having a go at even though this has probably been done before. All I'm going to do is take all the stock robots, including The Rookies, and beef them all up. I won't be using any modded components, just all the basic stuff from the original game. All the bots will retain their original chassis shapes and paint jobs but with added and/or replaced weapons, drive motors and wheels. No idea how long this will take but it should be good to work on. Let's see how this goes. Arenas will be unchanged. The UI might be updated but I haven't decided on that yet.

Modifications / Robot Wars '96 competitors
« on: June 17, 2018, 08:22:09 AM »
Does anyone know if there are any replicas of the '96 Robot Wars competitors like La Machine, The Master and Thor? If so does anyone know where I can download them?

Modifications / RWRA2: The Ultimate Remix
« on: October 14, 2017, 05:29:36 PM »
So I've been working on something for the RWRA2 mod that I have named RWRA2: The Ultimate Remix. It started off with me wanting to AI some of the replicas from the 2013 AI Pack so I could battle against them instead of just playing as them. I didn't want to remove any other robots in the mod, so I've created new teams and added the bots in those teams. It started as something of an experiment to see if any of this could be done and after working on this for quite a few weeks now, I got the idea that I could possibly release this to others. However it is RWRA2 and it is somebody else's work and I thought it would be unfair to reupload something I hadn't created. And I was also thinking about whether or not I would get in trouble for including robots that did not have permission to be used. So I have a question for the RWRA2 mod makers, would it be OK for me to put this up for download when it is finished or am I not allowed to do so? And does anybody else want me to release this?

Game Development / Metal Mania
« on: September 18, 2017, 03:44:37 PM »
There's a fan made game that has elements from Robot Wars, Battlebots and Robotica in it. It has been made in Unity and is currently in an alpha with the third version having been released recently. There's currently the Pinball Warrior Tournament from Robot Wars, The Maze from Robotica and a Dump Zone game based on the one from the GBA version of Extreme Destruction. There isn't a fight mode at the moment, but this could be added later on. This has the potential to be a decent game if it continues to be updated.

General Support / RWRA2: Tanto wheels glitch
« on: September 09, 2017, 04:37:38 PM »
OK so there's a weird glitch happening with Tanto on my copy of RWRA2. Basically, the wheels are glitched between the 2 variations:


This one that comes with The Rookies team has a texture on the wheels


The AI version from the Import Bot section has solid black wheels


This is from a clean copy that I downloaded today. Is anyone else having this problem and how can I fix it so the AI version has textured wheels?

General Support / RA2 Wiki Glitch
« on: August 06, 2017, 09:35:40 AM »
Can someone help me out. I can log in to GTM just fine but when I go to the RA2 wiki, it says that i'm not logged in. If I press Log In, I just get redirected to the GTM Log In page. Is anyone else having this problem?

Modifications / Combat Zone Reskinning
« on: May 14, 2017, 04:54:56 AM »
I'm trying to reskin the combat zone and will put it up for download. Came up with this initially:



TGM did not like this and I don't anyone else would either so this has been scrapped.

Hello there. I have re-skinned the Combat Zone and want to change the name and description but for some reason, I can't type anything in the py file even though I can select it. Can somebody help me out? Also how can I change the arena preview picture?

Modifications / Robot Wars Arena Retexture
« on: May 07, 2017, 04:28:47 PM »
I'm working on a custom texture for the Robot Wars Arena. Here it is so far:



I will try put it up for download when it's finished. This is my first attempt at a retexture.

Discussion / Favourite Robot Arena 2 AI Packs
« on: April 19, 2017, 06:08:52 PM »
What are some of your favourite Robot Arena 2 AI Packs? Some of mine include:

Both BBEANS AI Packs (Some amazing robots created by people of the RA2 community)

AceUplink Battlebots (The replicas are pretty good considering they were made when RA2 was just starting out and the probably one of the few good things that AceUplink created)

RFS AI Pack (My favourite Stock AI Pack, just crammed with so many imaginative designs)

Robot Wars AI Pack (As a Robot Wars fan, I love it)

Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack (Gives me the chance to play as robots not featured in RWRA2, also being able to beat up those rubbish fictional robots from the Robot Wars video games)

Those are just some of my favourites, does it surprise any of you?

General Support / Hammer of Justice Problem
« on: March 24, 2017, 05:57:44 PM »
I've got a problem with Hammer of Justice. Can someone tell me what's going wrong. I've re downloaded and reinstalled it 3 times and it's the same result. What can I do to fix this?
