Today's sneak peek features an assortment of random stuff that's been changed or added either from stock RA2 or DSL 1.2... and there's quite a bit of it.

The devil is in the details, and it's the little things that can make or break a game. That's why we've gone to such efforts to update some old stuff like stock components, text files, and sound effects instead of just piling on more new stuff (although there's plenty of that too).

The screenshot below shows some of the stuff I'm talking about. It could be a little hard to see what all that is, so I'll give a little description of what you see.

Another connection point has been added to the baseplate anchors so you can mount them upside-down. Armoring the bottom of your bot and making downward-angled components has never been easier. Another connection point has been added to the chew blade which allows you to reverse its direction or stack them in a really nasty drum. Its mass has also been upped to 20 kgs because it is so much thicker than the saw blades. Another connection point has been added to the sledgehammers, allowing you to attach them by the ends, and the size of the 60 kg hammer is increased. As seen before on Big Metal Friend, spiked clubs are now stackable as weaponized extenders courtesy of a new attachment point. The drums have a new shiny skin, and there is a new beater bar weapon to go with them, which can also serve many other uses. The collision of the NPC-T64's has been greatly improved - no more colliding with the air. A new size of tribar, Extra Large, is now available, along with the sturdy, heavy-duty Whyachi tribar. Eight new connection points have been added to the DSL discs, allowing you to mount stuff on the disc face like you could in stock RA2.

...Whew. I think that's everything in the picture. Some stuff that's not in the picture are all the previously non-stock components used with the AI (Emergency flipper, samurai sword, iron fist, etc.) rebalanced with DSL , and the availability of ALL the parts used on the replicas.

Nobody likes opponents using parts that you can't use, so all the non-stock parts (including replica parts, smart zones, the original cheatbot2 parts, and other random stuff) are now available as part of the cheatbot2 code (they're still not stock though!! Just available. As cheat components.)

Me too, we should.. you know. :o

But anyways, I made a spread of some bots from this pack, I couldn't fit all the teams so if someone wants to do the rest and splice them with this one, feel free.

And now you should add a little video for those new sound effects too. :wink:

But one question. Have you fixed the error with the big servo motor? What caused it's axel to fly off if it was placed in wrong direction to a robot's base.

Mr. Apocalypse · « **Reply #245 on:** February 26, 2006, 08:05:53 PM »

Will there be attachment points on the Whyachi extender to add those red bars that were on SOW?

mean2u · « **Reply #246 on:** February 27, 2006, 06:37:36 PM »

That wasn't SoW, that was YU812. Plus, the 'not useful' parts will be cheatbot2 components, so the red bar will probably be there.

I know, but I'm just asking.

Yea, those 'robot-represent' icons look like flowers or sattelites. But I love the chrome/metallic effect.
