I have read various threads and posts; I read through the thread DSL vs Stock. After about 5 posts the remaining 3 pages were about Ai packs. I still am cautious about trying out DSL. I don't mind new components and enemy bots, but I mostly want to battle online with other cats, so I really am not worried about AI Packs, unless I made my own, which is prolly a tedious task.
I can make some pretty neat bots. I'm sure there are ideas that I havn't implemented, but I'm an innovator; sometimes I make a bot that's not even for combat, maybe just crazy movment or assisting others! I learned earlier on that you can place motors outside the chasis and baseplate anchors off the ground; move a range of motion or part to place something it would normally go through, so I've evolved nicely.
I just want to have fun with tha game. It can only be so fun wasting hours by yourself designing these whores. I've tried the DSL pack before, and half the parts if I remember didn't have proper graphics. I dunno, I did add some other component packs too. I'm just glad that the game let's you export your bots for the next time you decide to re-install this game, and play for awhile.
Now, my only reason for upgrading to DSL would be that the community may be larger. Definetely the components if they work right. I'm about ready to pull out one of my middle weights and scrap some of your heavyweights. ( yeah, you reading this! ) Yah though, questions are: I know the modding community is more into DSL. What about Tournaments just with the basics? I mean DSL without any other part packs. And also, .... Phew; I can't think now. Just help convert me to DSL!
