protegent is my god

where was this when I needed it?

w8 thats 4 words

that's just OVERPOWERED, seriously, i beated the first valfross levels and i conquered tolybrynd, just 1 word:THANKS A F****** LOT

Death Cube!

i dont think that counts

you can destroy it. use the god tools like the grap tool. try it

cool

It is brilliant, and it can do every level, I have had problems though, such as the wheel attachers breaking off when either: The bombs explode on the vehicle; or when I quickly drive or fly into something like a low (ish) wall like the building foundations in the village level. Other than that, it is great!

nice bro :D

noice

I'm walking on copyright, Oh-Oh-Oh!

Thanks for all the comments, everybody!

@Algae The blocks that rotate the wheels have to be braced together from side to side anyway to keep the machine from sagging, so I figured that since I couldn't use skid steering, I might as well get some powered rotation out of it.

In fact, that steering problem is what got me to experiment with internal steam cannons, which is how I got the idea to add flight!

Awesome! The big starter block is nice for zones where you have to reach an insignia, and it provides a stable base. I have messed around with blocks inside other blocks and it only seems to work when you put blocks that have only one connection point, and connect to one block (water cannon, torch, etc.), inside normal blocks, I couldn't get a ballast inside the starter block, for example.

Great use of scaling. You truly are the master of .bsg editing, not only in the first days, but when there's updates as well.

I have to ask though: why use the steering blocks on the wheels? It goes forward without them, although the moving does decrease the friction, which is needed to turn properly, still, turning on the spot cna be difficult. Wouldn't swivel joints work better? I assume you have tested this.

The moon flight was nice, I've flown to the moon and back now too :)

THANK YOU! I found the link to your video in the earlier comments like you said. I actually got to the part where I opened the .bsg file on my own but I think the machine I was using at first was an old one (without the parameters to scale). Anyway, I watched your video, tried again (this time on a recent machine) and I can finally scale pieces!!! And you don't even have to restart Besiege, just reload the machine after changing the parameters... this is magical! Thanks again!

Oh, I thought that it unlocks the moon zones. :P

It does! I go to the moon and back in the video, and then beat the zone.

Does this acually go to the moon?

sweet

I did use the flying method I described to get to the moon. Plus, when I changed altitude, I spun the machine to somewhat cancel out the imbalances in lift and drag.

Is that how you get to the moon???

ha thats so cool

You still use the arrow keys in the air. The main idea is that, when you start to tilt, rotate so you're facing upward, and feather the upward thrust until you level out. I demonstrate and talk about it in more detail in the video.

I'm not sure how to control flight.

I wrote about that in some of my earlier comments here. If you're still having trouble, I'll try to answer any questions.

Awesome creation! Does someone know if there is a tutorial somewhere about how to scale blocks?

wtf

thanks ross. :)

Bullshit

Hey Ross! In case you haven't noticed it yet, Walking on Sunshine has been featured by Draegast! Put [Draegast'd] on the title, you deserve it! :)

I think most people do it with mods, but I did it by editing the machine's save file. The new file type includes parameters for scale for each block, which can be altered. I made a video a while back about how to edit bsg files. The new file format is laid out differently, but it can be edited in a similar way.

how do you change the sizes and proportions of assets? I've seen it on loads of other creations but don't know how to do it. Any help is apreciated.

The arrow keys control hidden steam cannons as well as the wheels. Just use Left Shift for lift and use the arrows to maneuver the same as you would on the ground. The center of mass and center of drag being in different places kept me from balancing it perfectly, so there's a trick to keeping it in the air long term. But it's very feasible, and I explain how in the video.

How do you fly? Btw this is awesome

making the wierd contraption turn was...... interesting

I usally dont like modded creations, but you deserve a thumbs up

K.

It's below the block ID.

Is the text used to edit a block above or bellow the block id?

Okay, thanks.

The block ID number for the metal blade is 3.

Hey, for no apparent reason whatsoever what's the id for the blade?

Got it, thanks. Had to set it to open with notepad. :)

Hm. I'll try again.

That's strange. For me, notepad opens the new files just like the old ones. I'm not sure what would cause that problem.

I just saved a machine, but I can't open or edit it. :/

There's a problem.

Keep up the good work.

Okayy. Thanks man. Amasing creations btw. :3
