ok first post updated same as always check if your update is there

Viper yours lacked a name change so I will just tell you yours is all fine now

Ya I had no intention of changing the name, I'm glad to hear everything is fine with The Devils Vortex

name change isnt an issue you just wouldnt be able to tell on the first page weather your update was received or not so I just told you

That looks incredible. I think I have a target.

Nice work.

Somehow looks like the Backlash wheel but cooler.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #246 on:** January 08, 2010, 08:19:06 AM »

I know :P Its a whole new GMF but I noticed the similarities right after

at least it looks cooler

JoeBlo · « **Reply #247 on:** January 08, 2010, 10:13:08 AM »

not sure about this prize (or whether it should be a prize) give me your opinions on this one

Im just not to sure on it ? It features more non visible or "behind the scenes" GMF work rather then visual stuff

it does actually add more pressure on your robot like Terrorhurtz IRL. I tested 2 identical robots, with identical weight and the robot carrying the turbine got under the other 90% more

I think it looks good for a prize.

I was going to ask if you were going to use that for Backlash before i remembered BL is a spinner mod.

(however i am guessing you'll use the wheel for it ?)

As nice as it is, it will be a gamebreaker (Hax :P) with infinite air supply for just 1kg more than the large Puma... not to mention the better wedge...

, that would make Blade Wave damn awesome.

It might be balanced and more realistic if it drained electricity like a motor, but i highly doubt you can get it to consume electricity since it's base is airtank ?? Or am i wrong.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #250 on:** January 08, 2010, 10:31:14 AM »

yes the wheel will be in Backlash (maybe slightly changed skin so this one is still exclusive)

yea I know the turbine has major balance issues (why Im asking for thoughts)

the electricity idea is a good one, the air supply wasn't the original idea so it could always be a good trade off changing the base to a motor

bases as far as I know are within the exe which = no access = make do without

the wedge testing was with chassis wedges so I am unsure at this time how it will effect the Hinge < Door Hinge < Burst type food chain

and yes it would make bladewave awesome

JoeBlo · « **Reply #251 on:** January 08, 2010, 10:54:47 AM »

more testing

it seems that it only effects same wedges

the black robot carries the turbine
the white robot carries a battle pack to make even weight

test 1 the white robot got under 100% of the time due to having door wedges over the skirt hinge ones

test 2 the black robot got under 2/3 with both robots having the same wedges

If you make that thing heavy enough and/or big enough, it won't break the game. At 15 kgs and about the size of an air tank, I think it's probably too good. But if you made it, say, 40-50 kgs, or you made it really big (like at least the size of an E-tek) then it could be fair. It will take some experimenting to decide what's too good.

Making it drain power probably isn't enough of a drawback, since A) You don't have to turn it on to make it work, and B) Like any spin motor, it will only drain 100 power, no more no less.

I'm curious what this "behind the scenes" work you mention is all about.

Realized I'd not yet posted in this thread. I'm hoping my entry catches people off guard. I went for something a bit off from my normal weapon setups. Also, Joe, is there anything special I need to do to use the components I won in the game? They don't appear to show up normally, nor when I use the modded components.cfz that shows AI parts. Didn't need them for my entry or I'd have asked sooner.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #254 on:** January 08, 2010, 08:47:25 PM »

@ Click, I know its really difficult, one of those "great ideas" but turns out no so great in the end. behind the scenes.. I played around giving the component artificial gravity to make it have the effect of suctioning to the ground (my original plan for the component)

at this stage I am going to put it in the "incomplete basket" and go with my backup plan which doesnt give robots that much of an advantage

@Mike extract the file and you will get 3 folders each named for the prize component.

inside each of those is the text file and component folder which you must copy into the components folder of your RA2

Hey Joeblo, at what point do submissions close? I know its January 10 but what time on that date? What zone are you in?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #256 on:** January 08, 2010, 09:26:36 PM »

same as BOTM

Midnight, Central Time (so 8am on the 11th for me)

its just easier that way

Sage · « **Reply #257 on:** January 08, 2010, 10:02:49 PM »

Well. I forgot about this here tourney thinger... I should probs send in my bot, no?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #258 on:** January 08, 2010, 11:35:57 PM »

I have posted a reminder for you on each of the last like 3 or 4 pages :P

Somebody · « **Reply #259 on:** January 09, 2010, 08:01:16 AM »

I have a question about your new AI. Does the robot spin to the center of the arena or just drive there, because I think that it could easily get picked off by a fast bot if it just drove there.
