Strange, I've clicked "create post" but nothing shows up. But when I post it again, a redundant post is created. When I delete either post both is gone. *Sigh* so... just ignore this post, thank you.

Yup - the forum software is crap. I'll be glad to see the back of it...

Yup - the forum software is crap. I'll be glad to see the back of it... Now that I think of it… on my side the first two posts at page 4(this page) are mine. Is this the same on your side? |

I think your first post above was originally showing on the previous page. It isn't there now, at least for me. Anyway, not our problem, and the new forum should be more stable. |

Not sure if system will let me down again, but I want to communicate with my comrades, so I will post my previous post one more time.
It's certainly a different approach, Blutoh. As much as I like it, I'm not sure that a weapon that actually requires you to fire it whether you want to or not is actually practical on a battlefield though.  Listen kid, I don’t know if you’re one of best engineers out there but… *lit a smoke* On battlefield, you shoot whether you want it or not. Aside from the joke, I’ve fixed the machine. Now it has same fire & reload key. Hold L to fire, release L when a bomb is on top of suspension to reload. mega.co.nz/#!6ABGTJyZ!Z-YYtxbiRceaR62vv0JAUOdf-D8l84njC2ePimheH7E  Despite I made blutoh’s machine has same fire & reload key, it was ereelin’s reload mechanism that inspired me for this. I wanted to try this on ereelin’s machine but the modification seems time-consuming so I ended up testing this with blutoh’s machine, lol. I also appreciate blutoh’s mechanism as it might come in handy as ammo conveyer belt. But I’m bad with gear mechanism orz Anyway, the fix is extremely crude as I just wanted to test the concept. I might do some slightly more refined work if I have time. I leave the concept here in case any samaritan is interested. I’m pretty bad at refining or adjusting so I would appreciate anyone with crafting soul. There should be 3 “slots”. Slot A to store ammo. Holding fire key moves the ammo to slot B. Releasing fire key moves the ammo to slot C. In other words, slot C is also the chamber/holder as it is the last place the bomb stays before it is fired. ManaSeed: Don't know what you did there, but still I laughted at you screenshots. Thanks a lot for the reply by the way. Anyway, if you press R & T right after pushing spacebar, its okay. But yeah it's tricky. Actually, I’ve been using that machine successfully. The fireworks topic was just a joke XD Am I happy? Yes. Always waiting for that to happen, just not sure how to craft the slope that allows bomb to roll naturally. Okay, file saved. Technology stolen (｀∇´) |

Not exactly a catapult and has to be used very carefully to work but if done correctly it can efectively fire 18 shots short to mid range. Controls: up/down - left/right - driving&steering 1 and 3 - arm rotation 2 and 5 - arm flexing h - extend arm v - release bomb Carefully grab the bomb, aim the arm and time extension&bomb release to shoot.

Lol, it's very impractical, AND dangerous. Those are features! Alas, I am but a peasant, not schooled in the art of advanced weaponry, but I sure enjoy seeing what you guys come up with! |

Nevermind.
On a less relevant note, the .bsg link appears fine on my side Ah! Sorry! My mind wandered off, hehe. Here's your .bsg file. mega.co.nz/#!6ABGTJyZ!Z-YYtxbiRceaR62vv0JAUOdf-D8l84njC2ePimheH7E |

In case anyone is interested in semi-auto’s (not sure what do you call a weapon with same fire & reload key) reload mechanism, here's my extra finding.  download link
Slightly faster reload with better transportation precision. Now I am more confident that the previous concept on semi-auto’s reload mechanism actually works. P.S. Depends on the design of the machine and its launching device, slot B can be very small or transport bomb very fast as if there’s no slot B.
EDITI found something known as "105 Bomb Reloading Catapult" on the net.  download link
 The amount of ammo might not impress you but this is the technology you might want to steal study. |
