Hey Everyone! New to gtm as a member, but i've lurked here for 3 years, and built semi-seriously on and off in stock for 4 years or so. I've tried DSL, but i couldn't stand the general messiness of it, however I have built a few ironforge bots. Anyway, i have a few bots to show off, but i seem to have misplaced the webpage that explains how to take screenshots in game and make proper splashes. Could anyone direct me to it? thank you.

You can take screenshots with the F11 key. The images will appear in the screenshots folder. If you want to make a splash, all you need to do is load up the images in some sort of image editor, and smash all the good bits together. You can add text or whatever too, if you want. Usually you'll want to show at least one internal view, so we know what's going on inside the robot, and the robot's weight.

Possibly this page? https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13310.0 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13310.0)

Ahh, thank you guys. I'll get to work.
-
For some odd reason, all the screenshots in my screenshots folder show up as nothing but black pictures. Any ideas?
-
That's weird. Try using the print screen key, then pasting into your image editor. See if that works, or if it is still blank.
-
print screen key doesn't add anything to my screenshots folder... Would they be somewhere else?
-
Print Screen copies what's on the screen, you would then manually need to paste that into an image editor like paint. You can also only do 1 photo at a time this way.
What version of RA2 do you run and how did you install it?
-
Try running the game in windowed instead of fullscreen.
-
I'll retry print screen then. I run Restocked 1.0. I'll try windowed mode.

Here we go!
DSA, 2 stacked blacks, 18 bear claws, 3 maces. Excels at beating 36 HS like BEAR, but is average against popups. Haven't tested it on much else.
-
embarrasing. The enlarged image is uploading now.
-
Why are you attaching images to the post like a caveman? There is an image host attached to the forum for a reason you know.
-
How would i go about using the image host? :confused:

Just upload your image to the image host and copy the use and put tags around it.
-
Despite the image host problems, that is an AWESOME bot!
Rotate the maces 90 degrees so they both hit at the same time. Otherwise, really good work man.
-
3 years of experience definitely does show on that bot. You might want to make the wedge longer but still, good job!
-
Thanks guys! I'll put the image on the host after it uploads. Sage, I'll definitely rotate those maces, and Pwn, that would be a good way to use the extra 5 kg or so. Also, I'm a bit lazy when it comes to skins, so a lot of my bots will probably have noob paintjobs.

DSA, 8 maces, nooby paintjob, and a super not compact chassis.
This bot was built as a total joke, but somehow it actually does well by basically tricking the AI. The AI bot will drive under the right under the chassis and weapons, just like it should. The difference is that most robots cant reach the chassis, and can easily be destroyed with a few hits. Popups are prime targets, as seen in the nooby splash.

ROFLMAO
Get the v1.4 patch so that you could get access to the 140cm square extender which only weighs 5kg. You could boost the weapon system with the spare weight.
-
So thats why I couldn't find that extender... I was missing it. I guess maybe I'll just transfer the restocked AI into my vanilla copy of 1.4 along with my robot designs.

This is cool.
