Zbots

Zbots are a unique branch of kbots exclusive to Infusion Designs. What separates them from kbots is their use of the True Walk Script (Zbot API) system pioneered by Zodius, that allows for dynamic walking animation to be applied to creations that would normally not appear convincing due to their physical size.

As a result, Zbots can be much larger than normal kbots as well as being more maneuverable, due to the dynamic nature of the animation, keeping a realistic feel on such units. Keep an eye out for future developments in this area, along with the release of the Zbot API allowing any unit maker to take advantage of the system.

 
Core Zarganeth - added 23/04/06

Core Zarganeth is a level 3 Assault Zbot based on MAD-TA's Karganeth unit. Its a formidable opponent able to not only storm into an enemy base, but able to cross large masses of water to get to its target. Your island is no longer safe.

As this is the very first Zbot to have been created, there are certain flaws that have since been corrected within the system but have not been applied to the unit itself. Treat it purely as a tech demo of the potential of the True Walk Script system.

The file comes with the Karganeth Gantry built by the core advanced construction kbot, and it also contains the old Karganeth for comparison. Extract the .zip into your Total Annihilation directory making sure that the moveinfo.tdf is correctly added (otherwise walking issues may appear).

Core Experimental Construction Ship - added 31/08/06

Technically a ship, the ECS is the second Zbot prototype developed to showcase the abilities of the system on a hexapod based walking frame. Inspired by the Cybran Destroyer in the Supreme Commander computer game, the experimental construction ship is able to deploy legs and walk up onto land in order to assist in other construction or evade enemy submarines, whilst still being able to construct sea defences, making it the ideal platform for naval expansion.

Extract the .zip into your Total Annihilation directory making sure that the moveinfo.tdf is correctly added (otherwise walking issues may appear).
