GearHead Caramel can now load a complete SAN-X9 BuruBuru mecha from a text file. I can’t necessarily say everything is functioning yet, but it’s all there. The GHC version is 52.5 tons and is worth $117,280, which fits between the GH1 values (45.0 tons, $106,287) and GH2 values (53.0 tons, $194,368).
Here is the complete text of the mecha description file:
Mecha name = "Buru Buru" desig = "SAN-X9" imagename = "btr_buruburu.png" SUB Head size = 5 SUB Armor size = 4 Sensor size = 2 BeamWeapon name = "Intercept Laser" reach = 2 damage = 1 accuracy = 2 penetration = 0 END Torso size = 5 SUB Armor size = 4 Engine size = 605 Gyroscope Cockpit SUB Armor size = 2 END Mount name = "Collar Mount" INV Launcher size = 4 SUB Missile name = "Swarm Missiles" reach = 6 damage = 1 accuracy = 1 penetration = 1 quantity = 20 END END END Arm name = "Right Arm" size = 5 SUB Armor size = 4 Hand name = "Right Hand" INV BallisticWeapon name = "Shaka Cannon" reach = 5 damage = 3 accuracy = 0 penetration = 3 ammo_type = Shells_150mm SUB Ammo ammo_type=Shells_150mm quantity=15 END END END Arm name = "Left Arm" size = 5 SUB Armor size = 4 Hand name = "Left Hand" INV MeleeWeapon name="Axe" reach=1 damage=3 accuracy=1 penetration=2 END END Leg name = "Right Leg" size = 5 SUB Armor size = 4 HoverJets size = 4 END Leg name = "Left Leg" size = 5 SUB Armor size = 4 HoverJets size = 4 END END
It’s a bit more verbose than the GH1/GH2 mecha description language, but it gets the job done.
