Good work guys it's really nice to see that DSL is still alive and well.
Congrats on all the new stuff you have been able to creat they are looking mighty fine.

We do frequently underestimate how long it will take to make the "finishing touches" on DSL 2.0, but I think it's safe to say it will be out this year. Maybe even this winter.

For the weekly peek, it's team MEGATON. They've revamped their bots into some of the most fearsome fighting machines around, so watch out.

LW-Poison Stinger: An invertible (!) pneumatic poker with tough armor and a painful bite, Poison Stinger's only weakness is speed. Even so, it will prove a tough opponent against spinners and wedges alike.

MW-Tempest: Once it gets to full speed, this highly dangerous shell spinner tears up opponents like nobody's business with four 30kg sledgehammers. And as if that weren't enough, it also sports a wedge, extra bottom armoring, and polycarbonate appendages that will roll it back onto its wheels if it happens to get flipped.

HW-UnDeadbeat: Deadbeat comes back from the dead with the heaviest bottom armor of any bot in the pack, as well as decent front armor and a giant hammer. Popups and drums will be hard-pressed to hurt this bot, but that 70-kg hammer hurts easily enough.
(It seems a small weight adjustment on some components pushed UnDeadbeat 3.5 kgs over 800. Technically a SHW, so for the weight purists out there I'll probably put it on a slight diet to bring it below 800 before the pack is released.)

.............maybe, it could be the next winter. Who knows?

and I suck at guessing.... big time. :?

At least we have time to suggest fixes, fine tunings, trimmings and other little tweaks for the next pack. =)

mean2u · « **Reply #170 on:** January 21, 2006, 02:02:30 PM »

If he means this winter as in Jan-Mar, it's a relief, but if he means Dec '06, I think I would have forgotten about this pack altogether.

Jon · « **Reply #171 on:** January 21, 2006, 03:48:05 PM »

Do you think we might also see Gravity in this pack?
Gravity was a very effective robot in RW7.

Holy, are there any videos or pictures of this bot? Must see!

Vincent · « **Reply #174 on:** January 22, 2006, 08:23:39 PM »

I don't recall seeing a bot itself went through it...

but I do remember something similar to it happened on Battle Bot, a powerful spinner bot proved its mighty power by making massive damage on its target.

Some torn-off armor got nailed onto arena's plexiglass window... scaring the sh** out of a guy who saw it coming directly toward at him. His life flashed before his eyes. Muhaha!

Vincent · « **Reply #176 on:** January 24, 2006, 12:42:19 AM »

Ok boy and ...girl (if there is any...)

I know it's not Friday but I don't care... cause I'm going through what I'd like to call "A Massive Boredom Infection".

Mainly because my main desktop computer (I'm on my laptop, some weak sh**, btw) is nearly 8 years old and it's about to fade away (Hard Drive reported 4% space surface damage and PSU is putting like an old car. Also the CPU is just... worthless when comparing to what is out there now)

So I've been into a setback untill I can order in new computer parts to build myself another desktop with mighty-beasty-VAST-POWER performance.
Trust me, it won't be some sh** for a long LOOOONNG time. :twisted:

So anyways... today, I present you a CONCEPT preview on something that I'll be planning on for DSL2.

As you noticed something new with the critical hit display. Being part of a "concept", I'm hoping to make a break-through with the coding to add some graphic animation... and that's one of the thing I'd like to enable with, flying sparks. If animation can not be done... then I'll try something better enough for little extra spice.

Ahh... the dragable window, don't you kinda hate it when you can't see something behind it when you hit up the menu? I know I do. AND GOD! the menu was HUGE! Blocking the whole damn thing... PFFTT!! NO MORE IN DSL2! :wink:
No buttons shown yet.

Remember the arena timer? I hardly do cause it was damn tiny and dull.
So it's time to give a timer a new look.... but something is missing.... I won't tell you what... you'll find out later. :wink:

A blue triangle with a number is a warnning sign for not moving after a while... duh.

Is that everything to show? ...well, actually no. I'm saving all the good stuffs for later. :twisted:

BTW... concept = not an actual thing. :wink:

house_Fly · « **Reply #177 on:** January 24, 2006, 07:35:25 AM »

doood nice that is crazy
so when a critical hit happens it sparks or is that static?

WRXSTI · « **Reply #178 on:** January 24, 2006, 08:58:14 PM »

if you can animate the heads up display, it would be cool to have the timer slide down from the top of the screne at the begining of the match.

mean2u · « **Reply #179 on:** January 25, 2006, 04:27:31 PM »

An audience would be great. Perhaps that is what is missing?

Edit: You spelled 'Warning' wrong.
