I can make two wheel with Flipper
please don't enter botm until you have at least some skill. no one cares about n00b bots in botm.It's still worth a shot, though, isn't it? He can at least try.
He'll lose and be disappointed. Better wait till you are a decent builder before entering botm.please don't enter botm until you have at least some skill. no one cares about n00b bots in botm.It's still worth a shot, though, isn't it? He can at least try.
Nah, I am not be disappointed when I lost.He'll lose and be disappointed. Better wait till you are a decent builder before entering botm.please don't enter botm until you have at least some skill. no one cares about n00b bots in botm.It's still worth a shot, though, isn't it? He can at least try.
Besides, the last botms have been of varying quality.

But still not a good building skill, and I made a useless bot. :baffled:
you should make a showcase so we can helpBut wouldn't that reveal the entry? I thought I wasn't supposed to reveal that I was the creator of the thing I'm making.
My potential entry isn't going right. I'd do what Naryar said;you should make a showcase so we can helpBut wouldn't that reveal the entry? I thought I wasn't supposed to reveal that I was the creator of the thing I'm making.
You don't have to be good. Just build a meme bot and get a free meme votes
Well I certainly am not doing that. I want to build something that takes effort.You don't have to be good. Just build a meme bot and get a free meme votes
Sadly, this is true. You don't even have to put anything inside the bot, really (as shown by entry #3 last month.

By the way, how do you make the skin for a robot more detailed? Mine's always pixel-y and low resolution.
can't do edge lines either which kinda sucksWell I certainly am not doing that. I want to build something that takes effort.
By the way, how do you make the skin for a robot more detailed? Mine's always pixel-y and low resolution.
When you export the texture, you get a 256 by 256 pixel bmp. You can resize that to any multiple of 256 (ie, 512 x 512, 1024 x 1024) and it'll import fine. Do note that you can no longer change the texture in the bot lab once you've done this, but there's usually no reason you'd want to do that anyway.

Just to ask, is there a certain size that the splash image should be? I know I'm asking this real late, but I spent most of the time I had to make it trying to get an arcade game to work on a PC emulator. (It didn't work.)
- Images must be no wider than 700px and no taller than 800px.

What's DSL 2.2 exactly? I can only find download links to 2.1(but I guess they're 2.2 anyways)?2.2 download (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/DSL2.2complete.rar)
Also since I'm new here I don't know all the glitches, but as far as I understand it's the following:
Am I right with that?
Standard=no big clipping parts(but smaller ones are allowed I guess?9
IRL=no clipping at all, just what would work in real life
AI parts=normaly unaccessable in DSL
BFE=Bot File Editing
AAM=?
Hax mode=(is this the one that glitches out certain motors and allows you to place stuff in them?)
I do understand what's basically meant, something that doesn't abuse any game glitches.

You're pretty much right with all the terminology. You can use this (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=17443.0) for a more detailed description of building styles.
Why isn't the 2.2 download available in the downloads section/wiki and why were most of the RW bots removed from it?1. That's probably just a mistake that'll get fixed eventually.
Oh I see, thanks for the answers. I guess the RW robots just aren't as high quality as the battlebots ones in their current form, was worried that they were going to get replaced. One other thing I noticed is that the sawblade(stock sawblade seems to have been replaced?) now no longer clips through components/chassis.Why isn't the 2.2 download available in the downloads section/wiki and why were most of the RW bots removed from it?1.

2. They're still in the game; they're just only available in the "Import Bots" section for teams. This is because (at least to my knowledge) the Robot Wars replicas haven't been updated like the BattleBots/RFL robots and wouldn't really fit in with the other replicas.
I guess the RW robots just aren't as high quality as the battlebots ones in their current form, was worried that they were going to get replaced.Actually, I believe Click's reasoning was that a lot of the RW replicas were updated in the RW RA2 mod and the Battlebots/RFL bots haven't been touched. So he updated them for 2.2 so that they are in fighting form with updated AI and all that.
