Author Topic: An Introduction to Me, Including a History of RA2 and Me (Read 1911 times)

The Ounce · « **on:** June 29, 2009, 08:46:40 PM »

I should have done this a while ago, but I think it's necessary since I haven't really introduced myself to the community.

I am 15, and my interests include books, science, anything and everything natural, and combat robotics, including of course RA2.

I bought the game 8 months ago, and for a while I was a complete n00b. My computer broke down only about a month after I had purchased the game. It was about two months before I was playing RA2 again, and of course I was still a n00b.

When I had repaired my computer, I discovered this community as the current official RA2 community. Here I searched for tips on how to build better robots. I had found some really good tutorials (mainly the Beetle bros' website), but I was still having trouble building decent bots.

4 months ago I decided to download DSL, and found it easier to build decent bots and overall much better than stock, mainly because of the realistic rule. I had then pretty much abandoned stock and despised it, but I have recently downloaded Starcore 3.0 and am building a little more in stock now that I understand and can better perform the glitches.

I now think I am a decent builder, although most of my building is heavily influenced by Sage and the Beetle bros and I've pretty much fallen in love with Sage's skin pack.

I didn't join earlier for 2 main reasons:

1. If I would have joined right when I discovered the forums, I most likely would have been the target of n00b whackers.

2. Because of the first reason, I wanted to do a lot of preparation before becoming a part of this community, just to be safe and to leave a good impression.

Although I have gotten those issues solved, I'm still not much of a social person, usually posting only to give advice or if directly addressed. Despite that, I'm looking forward to being welcomed by you into your community.

Thank you,

-The Ounce

What do you mean by "anything and everything natural"?

@ HurricaneAndrew: Very funny:ermm:

To be more accurate, I'm interested in plants and animals, mainly snow leopards (if you can't tell by my username and avatar).

Also, I have a few questions:

@ Sage: Thanks, but how can I fix the texture of the red snapper II without altering the texture for the original snapper 2? I tried renaming the maps and editing the .txt files but I haven't had success.

@ no one in particular: Do the steps to AIing stated here apply to DSL? If not then where can I find a guide to AIing in DSL?

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #6 on:** June 29, 2009, 11:34:56 PM »

I'm pretty sure they apply to DSL too. Mainly because the people who run the forum are the main people responsible for creating DSL.

You're more than decent in DSL.

And yes, AI-ing is exactly the same process in DSL.

The Ounce · « **Reply #9 on:** June 30, 2009, 12:08:58 AM »

I have. In fact, Planet Earth is what got me interested in snow leopards.

GameKing3 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 30, 2009, 12:10:56 AM »

I did an endangered species project in high school then i saw planet earth and have always had a fascination in how they can run on such a steep elevation.

Hi Badnik.

Lol, ounce is not coming back. He raged over inf calling him back on some bullsh** he did (as much as I respect him as a builder) and permaquitted.

I think it was because of pride.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 10, 2013, 05:43:33 AM »

I'm quite sure that Ounce left because of the community. At least what I understood when we talked last time.

It was because he couldn't deal with the community. He always raged when something didn't get his way. Always.

Which is a constant really, when people leave and claim that this community is bad. No, it isn't. It's just that someone can't deal with Playground or Chatterbox.

Hell, you of all people should see it, because you are a glaring example. You never left despite getting whacked more than anyone else.
