2 things.
You can take in game screen-shots by pressing F11.
And never select the armour tab unless you want plastic. It will give you DSA automatically.

To answer no.1 : my computer absolutley sucks. Ive tried many times and it hasn't worked, so this is my soloution

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #5 on:** October 05, 2010, 11:33:02 AM »

@FOTEPX: modifications on the way... stay tuned

Unfortunately. My CD of RA2 (or the CD bit on the laptop itself) Is F**king me around and its getting me really annoyed. So i might have to stop the showcase until further notice.

The problem is, ive just put it in. And it says no disc inserted everytime. Ive tried cleaning the disc but nothings working and when i stick it in the CD thing. It flashes green (meaning its loading) Then goes off. Even tough it was working about and hour ago. so yeah. My computer is utter CRAP

Go download the one from Sage's avatar.

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #8 on:** October 05, 2010, 01:08:33 PM »

Good news: Its not the game thats messed up

Bad news: its the CD player. If the CD cleaner dont work. Then the laptop might have to be sent for repairs

The first and last one are OK, the middle 2 suck.

Constructive criticism at it's best.

Theres a button in the upper right section the keyboard that says "Prt Scr" on it.
Press that, and then open a program like Ms.Paint or something, paste the image in it, then save that image as a .PNG(or anything, really)
Load it up to something like Imageshack/Tinypic, copy the url of the image, then paste it here with [img] tags.

Q2: When you finish the chassis, and its all white-like, THAT is DSA.
Although the bot appears armorless, it actually has DSA. DSA is as light as aluminum, but is as strong as steel.

STILL CAN'T FIX THE IMAGES >.<

Pretty much...

Please take correct pics nao. Go into botlab, take pics with F10, go into Screenshots folder, crop them, make them png's, upload them somewhere (Gametechmods image uploader is recommended), and paste the correct link the GTM image uploader gives you here.

Actually stronger than steel.

Doomkiller · « **Reply #15 on:** October 07, 2010, 02:53:50 AM »

no, don't do what Naryar said. It's F11, not F10

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #16 on:** November 13, 2010, 10:53:49 AM »

Ok good news

In the last few days RA2 has been working in fine fettle. Heres some bots to make up for lost time

Mr Unorthadox

My 1st (Somewhat fail) Attempt at a walking bot with hammers. Lands on its side almost all the time. Quite amusing actually

The Last Hurrah 2

This robot has 16 Razors mounted on 2 pistons. 8 for each piston. but i dont use it as a pneumatic puncher as it does quite good damage to its opponents

G.K. · « **Reply #17 on:** November 13, 2010, 10:57:17 AM »

Um... The pictures don't show up...

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #18 on:** November 13, 2010, 10:59:34 AM »

Your using a digital camera ._______________.
Do this:
"Pose" the robot how you like -> Press the Print Screen(it says "Prt Scr") button on your keyboard -> Open a program like paint or photoshop -> paste the image there -> Save that page as the image -> You get a nice quality image.
