Title: HAX MODE REVEALED - Your Guide to Superstacking
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 14, 2011, 10:21:35 PM
NO, THIS IS NOT A HOAX. Hax Mode is actually a real glitch that has somehow remained hidden from public use for all of these years (the Bigfoot of RA2, if you will). During the delay between the release of Hax Mode and now, Sage, Scrap Daddy and myself have been working to find out as much about Hax Mode as we can before we shared our findings with you, the community. Now, we've gathered enough information on Hax Mode to compile this guide and help you in your exploration of this powerful, new glitch. We urge you to CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS POST before you begin experimenting with Hax Mode.
 
 
 
1. HOW TO ACTIVATE HAX MODE:
 
 
   1.1 - Prerequisite Skills:
 
In order activate Hax Mode, you will need to know how to Snapper Load. Sage has a tutorial here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,4512.0.html (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,4512.0.html)
This skill will come in extremely handy, as it is key to entering Hax Mode.
 
 
   1.2 - The Basic Ingredients:
     
Because of the limits of superstacking (more on these later), you will carefully need to plan out your chassis as you would for any other bot. The only components that you will need to activate Hax Mode are a Burst Piston of any length, a RAD Motor, a Control Board, and another kinetic component, like an Axle Mount.
 
 
   1.3 - Activating Hax Mode:
 
Your Burst Piston may be mounted in any fashion (internally, on a baseplate anchor, on a Snapper, etc.), however we recommend that you mount it INSIDE the chassis. Attach the RAD Motor onto the end of the Burst Piston, and you're ready to go.
 
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22754haxmodeguide01.png)
 

The process is actually pretty simple. All you need to do is Snapper Load the Burst Piston. Once the inner part of the piston has left the viewing screen, it will not return to its base. You are completely free to fire the piston, turn the RAD on and off and attach more motors.
 
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3399haxmodeguide02.png)
 

Once you can no longer see the piston with the RAD, attach ANOTHER component with an axle. It can be anything from the "Mechanics" tab, or an Axle Mount. We recommend an Axle Mount because it is much easier to fit in a tight space.
 
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76261haxmodeguide03.png)
 

After the component with an axle is attached, fire the burst piston. Congratulations! You have now entered Hax Mode!

2. LIMITS OF HAX MODE:
 
Through extensive testing, we've found that Hax Mode isn't as easy as it looks, nor is it completely guaranteed to work. IT IS NOT NEARLY AS POWERFUL AS BOT FILE EDITING (BFE), as it will NOT allow you to stack any component anywhere you want at any time. These are the pitfalls, retrictions and limitations of Hax Mode.
 
 
   2.1 - The Soft Rule of 8... or 9:
 
One of the very first obstacles that you will run into is a limit of components that you can superstack. We believe that this limit is about 8 or 9 STATIC baseplate components (for example, anything in the power tab). This limit is not restricted to components that are superstacked in the same place. When this limit is passed, Hax Mode will simply not work until a baseplate component is removed.
 
For example, in the picture below 9 static components were attached to the baseplate (Control Board, Black Battery, Pink Battery, Big Airtank, Small Airtank, 4 Nifty Batteries) before RA2 would not allow any more static components to be superstacked:
 
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16519haxmodeguide05.png)
 
          
 EDIT: By pressing the pause/break button, you will be able to pretty much superstack however many static components as you like. Credit Urjak for this discovery.
 
 
   2.2 - Superstacking Axles:
 
Quite simply, YOU CANNOT SUPERSTACK AXLES. There are ways around this however, as removing the axles from the motors will allow them to stack. When building Godmode, Sage had to systematically remove each individual axle from each HPZtek in order to make them stack; a long and tedious process. How do you remove the axles? That is entirely up to you, but there are many other well-known glitches that will allow you to do this.
 
EDIT: Pressing the pause/break button will allow axles to be stacked as well, although it is unclear if this lets you superstack an unlimited amount of motors. Credit Urjak for the discovery.

 
   2.3 - The Necro Glitch:
 
As cool as this sounds, it's a glitch that you want absolutely no part of. It occurs when the RAD with the inner part of the piston never returns to the body of the piston, even after entering and exiting the Test Garage. Since the piston never returns, it can't be detached, rendering the robot absolutely useless. In other words, a dead, or necro, chassis.
 
 
   2.4 - Other Odds and Ends:
 
Much like ordinary stacking, superstacking seems to only work in certain (albeit the majority of) places on the baseplate, and is not guaranteed to work exactly where you want. For example, you may be able to superstack two black batteries in one spot, but two other batteries may not superstack directly beside it.
 
Certain superstacks, like HPZteks or DDTs that are slightly overlapped, work very much the same way as stacking a pair of black batteries, as in they're difficult and they require a high level of precision to achieve. In this case, Hax Mode doesn't "help" you with this stack as much as it merely makes it possible.
 
While Hax Mode does allow you to exostack components, they may not exostack all around the chassis. For example, Black batteries may only exostack in one certain corner of the chassis. No matter what, Hax Mode DOES NOT allow you to exostack anything out of the top of the chassis.
 
Superstacks with motors may only work for a short period of time and only once per position. The following pictures offer a clearer explanation:
 
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59846haxmodeguide06.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62537haxmodeguide07.png)
 
In the first picture, Hax Mode allows the HPZtek to be superstacked in the Black Battery. However in the second picture, the HPZtek was moved back outside of the battery, so it will no longer superstack. At this point, get a new HPZtek and try again.
 
 
 
3. HAX MODE AND THE COMMUNITY:
 
We'll readily admit to not fully understanding Hax Mode, but we've compiled this guide to help you along in your exploration of this glitch. Now, we're seeking your input and findings to help us gather enough information so we as a community can make the correct desicion on whether or not we will accept Hax Mode as a completely legal glitch, allow it while imposing regulations on its use, or ban its use entirely.
 
 
   3.1 - The Action Plan:
 
For now, we don't think that we've done enough testing to make a definitive call on the legality of Hax Mode, and quite frankly, we have absolutely no idea what you guys are going to do with this glitch. We need your help in testing the limits and boundaries that we've outlined for you already. Don't take any limits that we've outlined as absolute truths, and please try to find ways around them. This is your chance to abuse the absolute heck of Hax Mode. In fact, we welcome people proving our findings wrong. ALL new pieces of information will ultimately contribute towards answering the final question of Hax Mode: is it legal?
 
 
   3.2 - Ground Rules:
 
We do, however, feel the need to have one rule about the use of Hax Mode. DO NOT USE IT TO EXOSTACK BATTERIES. We should all agree that having invincible battery armour is not in the spirit of the game and is a massively overpowered use of this glitch.

We also believe that Hax Mode should be deemed ILLEGAL for use in tournaments until we have thoroughly tested it. In other words, illegal until proven legal.

We may add more imposed restrictions to this section as our exploration of Hax Mode reveals more details. We'll see.
 
 
   3.3 - Going Forward:
 
 The ultimate purpose of this excersize is to gather enough information on Hax Mode so that we can decide whether or not to accept it as a legal glitch. We (the community) will experiment and build with it, relatively unrestricted for now and make the desicion when we feel that we've gathered enough information. It might take a week, it might take a month. We don't know. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
 
 
   3.4 - What YOU Can Do: 
 
We're going to make this as clear as possible: WE DO NOT WANT YOUR OPINIONS ON HOW LEGAL OR ILLEGAL HAX MODE IS. Right now, we're just exploring the nature and extent of the glitch, not making descisions. What we want from you are not only what new aspects of the glitch you find and discover yourselves, but we also want to see how you use Hax Mode in your day-to-day robot building. Even if we discover nothing new about the glitch, we still desperately need to see how the community is going to use it. We will start up a Hax Mode Showcase where you can show us what you can do.
 
 
 
4. FAQ:
 
We don't want to be endlessly answering your questions, which is why we've made this guide as detailed as we can. Hopefully, this section can also address any more problems or quandries you could run into.
 
 
   4.1 - "Hax Mode isn't working. What's wrong?"
 
First of all, re-read the step-by-step instructions above. We've made this section as detailed as we can, and chances are, you're just forgetting to do something. Check if you've wired your piston to fire, make sure that the piston will not return to its body when the RAD is on, and remember to add an axle of some kind before you try to superstack. If none of these solve your problem, we have no idea what is wrong for you. Sorry :(
 
 
   4.2 - "I'm building this sweet bot and I need to superstack some batteries, but it won't let me. Why?"
 
You've probably run into the Soft Rule of 8-ish components. Try removing some motors or batteries or other baseplate components that DO NOT need to be superstacked and try again.
 
 
   4.3 - "I wanna build a Godmode clone, but why can't I stack my HPZteks like Sage did?"
 
No one ever said that Hax Mode was easy to use, in fact Sage has said that Godmode was incredibly annoying to build. In order to stack HPZteks or any other motors, the axles must be removed. Even then, superstacking motors can be difficult as it may work only one time in one particular spot. If you miss your one-time shot, just get a new motor and try again.


   4.4 - "I've built this awesome bot, so where should I post it?"
 
We will start a Hax Mode Showcase in the Stock Showcase section so you can post your creations there. We're doing this for two reasons, the first being that it's easier for all of us if we don't have to wade through pages and pages of multiple showcases to find the bots that we want to look at, and the second is that we technically haven't legalized Hax Mode yet. Consequently, we'd like to keep the possilby illegal bots seperate from all of the other stuff that everybody has built.
 
 
  4.6 - "So why did it take so long for you to release Hax Mode to the public?"
 
At first we were worried about the consequences of teaching everybody do-it-yourself BFE within the botlab, however these fears were put to rest soon after we really started testing Hax Mode out. At that point, it was only a matter of time until we released it to the public. During this period, we debated how we should release it, set out a plan of action, and compiled this guide to help you guys help us in analyzing this glitch. We just feel that this glitch deserves a different treatment than something like snapper loading because we don't know just how powerful it can be.

 
   4.7 - "Scrap and Sage, why did you jerks tell R0B0 how to Hax Mode and not me?? ELITIST PIGS!"
 
Just to be clear, neither Scrap nor Sage told me how to superstack. I figured it out on my own using clues from the original thread. When I did, I approached Sage with what I'd found. He informed me that yes, I had discovered the correct method. I then worked with Scrap and Sage to compile this guide for you guys.
 

   4.8 - "I didn't see any pistons and stuff in Sage's video. How'd he make that?"
 
A subtle combination of BS and magic-beardery. Actually, he just made the Burst Piston and RAD invisible and hid their collision meshes underneath the control board out the bottom of the bot. Him saying "Hax Mode... ACTIVATE"? Total crap.
 
 
5. CONCLUSION:
 
And there you are, this is everything that we know about Hax Mode. Everything. We may be wrong with some things, and bang on with others, but truthfully, we have no idea. We need your help to find out the exact nature of Hax Mode, whether it's too overpowered for legal use in Stock, or if it's fair enough to be considered on the same level as snapper loading an the like. Please keep this thread for discussions regarding the nature of Hax Mode only. General discussion regarding this gitch should remain in the original Hax Mode thread, and showcased bots using Hax Mode should be kept within the Hax Mode Showcase in the Stock Showcase section. Please follow these guidelines as it will make everybody's life easier.
 
 
 
HAPPY BUILDING  :D

An odd thing I found is that in my game, shifting the bot view while attaching a motor exits out of hax mode for that specific motor. I have to cancel out of attachment mode and go back in for it to work. This might be for all components.

EDIT: Not consistent. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't.

Pretty much, I can also break the axle rule using it. I stacked like 7 z-techs in the same configuration God Mode had one right after the other. No need to remove the axle.

Never mind, I found it. Here is an ultra-more-than-8-or-9-component stack:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/88033Cool.JPG)

It still a little finicky, and not always consistent. I am working on finding out all the little odds and ends. The z-tech stack is particularly finicky, though my record was 9 Z-techs, one right after the other.

Couldn't you fix the necro glitch by pausing, going to the garage, and then back? I had a similar issue trying to build a 36 HS of a piston and this would usually remedy it.

Well this is a lovely thread to wake up to.

Thank you Robo, Sage, Scrap & the community that supports this.  I think this will be an exciting step in a new direction with Stock.

The most exciting part about this for me is I can finally make a bot that uses Airtanks without having a super large chassis.  That always irked me.

Well done with the writeup and research.  This is huge.

It does work in DSL, Confirmed, but don't know how much you can do.  Didn't have much time to play around with it, but did manage to stack about 40 ant batteries.

I find it works much easier if you use the Pause button before you attach anything, and if you attach any kinetic parts - motors, pistons, axle mounts, etc. - if you attach those last.

After you have done Hax Mode can you remove the piston and the RAD or is that essential?

Yes I had this issue a long time ago in DSL as well (my old piston flipper way back in my showcase). To get anything back on the bot before it flies away, you need to go into the practice garage, press pause, and then click back to the components tab. Remove the component without pressing pause and you're all set. I'm off to go necro a bot and see if it works.

Post by: Somebody on July 15, 2011, 08:30:49 AM
Ok I found something new. I couldn't get a bot to necro but I found something else in the process.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwOAG1_99sQ# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwOAG1_99sQ#)

I found that The RAD can be selected by clicking anywhere in the chassis (except for on another component, just all open spaces) and also removed if you click remove. Sometimes it does it on other components too (haven't tested it enough to know one way or the other). If you activate the motor out in space, it stops colliding (you can't click it anymore)until you change tabs. After I change tabs in the video, I remove it.

Oh, and the fade is skipping the axle loading. I removed the other RAD mid-load because it was messing it up, and it was just left over from other experiments.

Can I ask a question. When do you add the axle mount?

Post by: Virus Bomb on July 15, 2011, 09:22:31 AM
Yeah you can remove the RAD after activating it and it should still work. You can put the axle mount anywhere.

@Sombody: I had that happen to me too. Strange.

Before you fire the piston, but after you get rid of the inner piston part.
Title: Re: HAX MODE REVEALED - Your Guide to Superstacking
Post by: NFX on July 15, 2011, 09:28:23 AM
It works so long as you don't switch tabs after firing the piston. Or if you go into the Test Lab and back again to return the piston so you can get rid of the RAD, it doesn't work, I don't think.

Pause button helps with stacking Motors and stuff from the Mechanics tab. Also Snapper Loading the axle away increases the likelihood of a stack working exponentially.

Yeah, but I worked that out myself. After I couldn't get it to work in the tiny chassis I'd made.

It also works if you stick the Piston/CB/Axle thing on a Smartzone floating somewhere in space, I've found, which allows you to build in ludicrously small chassiseseses. =D

I got 36 z-techs to stack, but can't do it reliably enough. Usually I get around 4 or 5, then it prevents any kind of axle stacking.

First of all, i'd just like to say <3

I'm playing around with this glitch now, fun stuff, for me it seems that the pause button kind of makes a second super stack mode, if I can't stack something without pause on, i usually can with it on, and vice versa

yeah you need to snapper load whatever you need to at the same time as the pistons
There's no way to stop whatever you've snapper loaded returning though when you fire the piston, unless maybe a VERY precise tab change i suppose...

Thanks for the release :D

EDIT:
Uhmmm... As far as I know, it isnt working for me. Where do you have to attach the 2nd component with an axle? Just randomly on the chassis? :P
I managed to do everything in the instructions (Its quite easy to do actually...) but no result :\

It doesn't work if there's an axle in the way. Also, you can't switch tabs once you fire the piston, otherwise Hax Mode turns off. I find pressing the Pause button just after you've fired the piston helps immensely.

There's a tutorial video in RA2: Tips and Tricks for SNAPPER LOADING. Just do it on a piston instead of a motor, and then FIRE the piston after you SNAPPER LOAD it. Then, ATTACH AN AXLE MOUNT anywhere in your chassis.

Post by: NFX on July 17, 2011, 01:41:44 PM
I think I know what you're trying to say there. What you do is spin the motor and switch tabs while still holding the spin button. Then press the button and immediately switch tabs again, still holding it as you switch. Repeat this process until the piston flies away, or is at a curious angle. Then continue with Hax Mode process.

You also have the worst luck with AGOD.  I'm thinking that there is some bad karma surrounding you and your computer. 

I think it would be best if you just try hax mode on a completely different computer... in a different country... maybe in a different time zone.

Might be worth a shot.  Lemme know if this helps.

I might've found a simpler way to do this, at least in DSL.  Can someone confirm for me? attach a hovercraft motor first, then one or sometimes 2 Storm burst pistons.  The pistons should fly off by themselves automatically activating hax mode.  Seems to work best for me if the Storm bursts are attached externally.

But well need to have exact numbers for what is allowed for all components...
Some guy might have 3 blacks, But somebody has 4 & What now if you dont have an exact number to say: "Ok, This isnt allowed"?


We need to make universal rules so that everything has a structure & Not have 1 tourney accept 7 blacks stacked but some other dude thinks 5 is too much so he only allows 4 in his tourney.

You CAN have it, But you should also have a general rule for how many things you can stack.
If a specific guy wants his tourney to have 20 things stacked fine... But lets say youre just building bots without having a porpouse for it, Youre not entering it into any tourney.
What is considered too much when you stack stuff?


You need to have a general rule & Then exceptions... Not randomly go & do whatever you want coz there will be conflict.


Take this example:
Cars & Roads have just been made, You need to have a rule on who is driving where... You drive on the RIGHT side of the road (Main/General rule there)
But when you wanna pass another car & The other road is clear you maybe be on the LEFT side just to pass him (Thats the exception right there)
But normally you drive on the right side, If anyone drives were ever he wants you WILL have a sh**load of crashes.

Guys, I'm running into problems activating hax mode atm. When you say Snapper Load the piston, do you mean axle load the RAD or something else? I'm confused, because I was able to do it before, but I forgot what I did.

It means attach the RAD to the piston, then do what you would normally do for Snapper Loading. Spin the RAD, quickly switch tabs, and repeat until the piston glitches away.

Occasionally it doesn't work for me either. I sometimes try pausing after I fire and that helps, but I'm not sure. I think you might have to do it all in one go, but once you've fired, do NOT switch tabs, otherwise it stops working.

From what I can tell, there seems to be a limit of components you can have on for hax mode to work fully, when I built my haxmode pop up, I found I had to delete some things before it would let me stack all the DDTs into each other like I wanted.

Also, random thing which i've just remembered, hax mode doesn't work if you've attatched the piston to another motor.

Yeah, I think it's just when it's on a moving component, it must mess up the....thing....that happens....I really don't get why hax mode works XD

Nope. Axle can be attached to the SmartZone too. =) But make sure you don't attach it to the central point, because you can't actually select it if you do.

About that necro glitch, I have fell on it while piston loading.

It can be fixed if you remove the piston by BFE and not screw up the whole bot file.

Dunno if this hasn't been said before...

Of course it can be fixed with BFE. It can also be fixed with the pause button... O: I BEAT THE NECRO GLITCH

So you have decided to specialize, wizard ?

You'll have to remove that beard, lurk in graveyards, wear a black cloak with hood, and whiten your skin tone. Also your magic staff needs a skull on top of it.

...I assumed it necro'd when paused as well. I always use Pause when I leave the Test Lab when Haxing.

So yeah, thought it was about time I sat down and tried this glitch

Followed all of R0B0's directions and pictures and it doesn't work for me.. AAM it is then..

Hax Mode really hasn't killed building as some thought it would, has it... XD

Try firing before adding axle mount.

Done that..

Fired before, after before and after, everything but it wont ever enter Hax Mode.. (obviously starting from scratch every-time I tried)

Hax Mode really hasn't killed building as some thought it would, has it... XD

Well no tournaments have really come to light that it could be exploited in

There is no rulings still so when one come around expect a big Hax mode discussion then..

Presumably, there's something that prevents Hax Mode from working when attached. My guess is some sort of burst motor, maybe a SnapperII...

Try snapper loading the rad until the pitch of the motor changes from a a high whine to a low roar. That's when it works the best. Also, try stacking some things like a motor into a battery. See if it works then.

high whine to a low roar.

Kinda like a servo sounding noise?

Yeah.. that didnt work wither :P

Maybe I should try a different game.. Its "Doomed Bots" AI so I take that name alone as a bad starting place :P

That may help...I think it's best to check various components to see if any of them negate the effects. I spin it and do the Snapper Loading until the piston/RAD is off the screen, then add the axle mount/fire the piston in whatever order I can get it to work.

I am pretty sure I know how to do it.. I do everything correct but after I attach the axle mount (or any motor for that matter) it just doesnt enter Hax Mode.. or it did once but only one motor lost is collision ability (and it was only the motor body not the axle)

I usually find that pausing it after you have attached an axle mount and fired the piston helps... That's the only way I've been able to stack the motor axles.
Title: Re: HAX MODE REVEALED - Your Guide to Superstacking
Post by: NFX on August 13, 2011, 11:29:54 AM
I find that you do have to pause it as well. You need to pause it quickly to keep Hax Mode working.

I always end up with a necro chassis. Every time.

Press the Pause button, then go into the Test lab and back to Components. That should help it.

Just a tip, if you remove the axle while in Hax Mode the Hax Mode gets turned off.

Snapper loading.
