The custmizer

I think there should be a third thing to download from armagetronad.net it will let u customise your wall and cycle along with other things, sorta like ship customizing from kingdom hearts if youve played it. You would be able to create walls and u would type in the command console include_custom_cycle. And if any1 has any ideas wat to call it please feel free to give ideas.

grrrrrr not another one of these.... although this idea is semi interesting having a program that would allow you to create the image (hopefully it would have the file directory already saved and could save the images in there).

The one I'm working on is called ACME, the Armagetron Advanced Resource Editor, and since it doesn't work, it's not available yet.

However, you can't change any cycle models or crap with it. When we have moviepacks as resources, you'll have some sort of UI to work with them. But I've gotta finish a few things before then, of course. Could use some help. Less asking us to do stuff and more helping us to do stuff would be gratefully received.

Dear native speaker of the english language,

As a non-native, it can be at times hard for me to read your fine language. But when faced with abscent punctuation, triple negations ("dont no nothing" that should have been a "dont know anything"), my poor linguistic skills are sent adrif! Your keyboard comes with so many keys, why let them collect dust when you could use them? If you are like me, your pinky really lacks any real training. I mean beside the occasional scratching in the ear, what motion does it receive? Don't let it go unused, make it visit the wonderfull land of the semi-colums and commas!

As for your troubles with the moviepack, if I recall correctly, it doesn't go at the same location as the usual resouces, and you need to enable it through a config item or through the menu. I would suggest searching over our wiki (wiki.armagetronad.net) for the exact details.

I hope this is of help to you

Appoligies accepted. I'm know to make many mistake, mix british and american spelling when simply not using a french word. But it the the effort that are put to make some part right that the other appreciate, such as your post. Thanks!

You will have to be more specific here, the wiki is vast and my attention span very little. Which page are you referring to? At the moment, the only customization possible is at the client level, and for all the player. In more modest words, if you change your model and/or the texture of the trail, all the cycles receive it.

As for making the texture and/or the cycle model in a separate Armagetron Advance application, well there are so many programs specialized to make such work that are already much more powerful than what we could ever dream of acheiving, why not use them instead? Due to the nature of the game, being played on mac's (many version), linux's (many flavors), bsd's (many flavors) and windows (many flavors again), it would be quite difficult to make an mapping to use the local programs and make them save the files in the proper location. Even though it might not feel like that, it is actually much simpler if you figure out where to save which file.

Probably not the answer you wanted, but sometimes these are still the best one around!
