Anything that didn't come with the game, OR cheatbot2 parts are cheat parts.

Just a suggestion, if you use bots with tribars make the tribar face inside (well in this case).

Not necessarily...

Use the edit button instead of posting that many times in a row.

Oh gosh... where should I start?

How to properly insert an image into your showcase 101:

First: Screenshot your bot... This can be accomplished by pressing F11 on your keyboard at any time while viewing the bot on your screen. This will put a screenshot image into a folder in your RA2 directory. Be sure to crop out unnecessary stuff from the pic and try your best to show a shot of the internal construction of your bot as well. The members of the forum usually care equally about how your bot looks (combat effective) and how well your bot is constructed (built effectively). If you want to shoot for brownie points... create a "splash" picture for your bot. A "splash" picture shows several angles of your bot, pics of the internals, specifications (weight, weapons, drivetrain, etc etc) and maybe even some screenshot scores of how the bot fared against various opponents. You can also take the time to make the splash look nice with backgrounds, fancy text, and all that jazz.

Second: Now that you have a proper splash or screenshot to share, make sure it is in a decent size that is worth posting on the forum. 800x600 usually works for me. If your splash is worth posting... head over to: The Gametechmods main websiteand look to the left of your screen under "Gadgets". Click on the "Image Host" link. It is really simple, you will have two options to choose from "Browse" and "Upload". Click on "Browse" and find the pic that you want to have showcased on the forums. Click on the file and then click the button for "open". The location of the file will now be displayed in the main box of the image uploader. Click on "Upload" next and then you will be brought to a screen that gives you three different choices for use of your uploaded image. The first one is the one you need to use for displaying your pic on the forums. Copy the line of code that is associated with the box for "Link for Forums" (highlight the line and go to the top of your screen and select the pulldown menu for edit, and then select copy... Or you can press ctrl+c on your keyboard) That line of code is now temporarily saved somewhere in the dark recesses of your computer... scary huh?

Third: Now, when you post a message on your showcase you can go to the pulldown "edit" menu on the top of your screen and select "Paste". The line of code should appear in your message now. When you post your message that line of code will magically turn into your screenshot of your bot. It will be displayed in the full size that you saved it in. It will not be downsized or any of that garbage. It will look alot better and the forum members will be able to analyze and criticize you better this way. If you want to see what your message looks like before you actually post it... click on the preview button and see how it all looks... make edits as you need to.

Oh, and please, edit your posts if you have something new to say and you are the only one posting on your showcase... If you double/triple/quadruple post sequentially after yourself, it looks foolish. People will rag on you for it. Try to keep your showcase clean... it will allow people to actually focus on your bots and help you.

Good luck.

Edit: Dang... i knew i took too long to type this all out... you figured some of it out on your own... bravo you.
