Frost robot

Did you import it as a model, or as a texture attachment to golem model?

[Paladon]

A simple texture could never extend the model's shape, thus it's a model.

Ok, you know that you can make a 10-20kb "shell" and attach it to the origin of the golem model with the "sphere" ability. The model change with only ice cap is not much model alteration imo.

[Paladon]

The attached model would not follow the original model's animations, the portrait would not be effected as well.
The size of the current model is just about 40kb.

I hate the "fix" of detectors, that was the most awesome thing to do in btanks (and was so expensive that it wasn't really good), shouldn't have told velo about that : /

[x]Net oneself for 8.67!

Possible, but air/ground only weapons carried should be disabled during that amount of time.

Still no Meta Data, I'm going to hear complaints about this. >_>
