As awesome as that bot looks, that picture looks really strange stuck in there like that.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Yeah that's one thing Rhino does not excel at; image textures and edits. And especially when the image has no solid background and/or the image is chopped. So sadly you'll have to deal with it.

Unless I can find a Xianghua fanart that has a very easily editable background.

I think a lot of it comes from the picture you used having such a stark contrast to the color scheme of the bot. Chris did a fairly good job of making pictures work on the different Final Boss versions. I think maybe you just need to find a better picture so it won't look so jarring.

THAT'S difficult too, I'm afraid. :P I'm looking on the SC wiki and there really aren't any good ones...

If anything I can just remove the picture, I suppose. <_<

Well that's entirely up to you. If it does't bother you any, then by all means leave it alone. It's just one of those things that stick out like a sore thumb to me, but then I tend to prefer things to look as uniform/plain as possible. :unsure:

[personal pet peeve rant]

I actually have a 3D model of Xianghua (for another program) that I could snap a pic of and give a plaintive background for (and thus make it easier on myself), but that's the SC4 version. Granted, I thought she was the best character out of that crap game, but I would prefer her SC3 incarnation since the paint job here is from that version, and I liked that game far, far better. Thing is, I COULD switch the paintjob again and follow her previous two incarnations, but... yeah.

[/end rant] :wacko:

Oh hell that sounds like too much trouble and bother. :wat:

You should just leave it at that rate. I don't have to look at it. :D

Yeah. Hence why I didn't want to. :wacko:

tbh, though, I did check through my folders and I THINK I might have found a good fanart with a plain background. I'll try cutting that one's background out. paste the image, and see how it looks. :l

Wow, now I feel kinda bad that you're going through extra trouble because my OCD reared it's ugly head and I couldn't keep my mouth shut. :unsure:

I've been looking through the bots past and present on the many sign up threads in this forum, I've been looking at which design was one of the most effective, yet looked good at the same time, and after observing two different versions of Striker, I've decided to make a clone of it.

Posted Image

Please welcome my newest creation, Dread To Tread! This bot has been equipped with tracks for good maneuverability and turning, it has skirts on the sides to prevent dastardly wedges from getting underneath the robot, which has been one of my many bots weaknesses in the past. It features a hinged wedge much like Striker at the front which works effectively even when inverted. It's main weapon is two treads with spikes designed to rip into the underbelly of other machines and tear up wheels. Once your stuck on those treads, your doomed. At the back is a brown anti spinner plate designed to do the obvious and kill spinners, it also acts a secondary weapon as well, for when bots are stuck on the treads, they will be taken by treads to the top part of the plate, other bots cannot get over the top of the plate and are stuck there while the treads rip into them. The treads also work inverted.

Tell me what you think guys, statting this bot will be hard however.

Awesomeness. I could imagine it being effective with a fast track system, like Trax had. :P

Nifty. :cool:

Of course when it's inverted, the treads lose some effectiveness since they are actually pushing the bot towards the front wedge instead of the back.

Thanks for the comments guys! :D

@Josh: I did have an idea that if inverted, the bot could switch the treads into reverse, but I'm sure if that could work.
