so you would rather less arena's ? :P

You've just described DSL. Backlash will fufill a similar role.

exactly right, though Backlash will be more of a spin off game (no pun intended) since it doesnt follow the original aims.

DSL 3 will be pretty much Robot Arena 3, (or really 4 since DSL 2 really jumped ahead)

5 beacuse of DSL 1
Title: Re: ROBOT ARENA 3
Post by: JoeBlo on July 15, 2010, 11:23:36 PM
I haven't played a complete version of DSL 1 but my understanding was it was pretty much a mod not a standalone conversion like DSL 2

There was also something like this being kicked around on the old forums way back when. It was actually going to be a RA3, with a new physics engine, new game mechanics, etc. I don't know how far it got, but my impression was it never really got off the ground. If I recall correctly, the "game development" subforum under offtopic was supposed to house the project here at GTM's, but the conversion from the Atari forums completely killed the project in its infancy.

nahhh DSL 2.1 is like RA2.7

DSL 3 will be a completed version of DSL, making it like RA2.99
Title: Re: ROBOT ARENA 3
Post by: JoeBlo on July 15, 2010, 11:45:37 PM
Serge was playing around with a new engine

but really DSL 3 + Segre's exe hax and we pretty much have our new game there

I know there is still havoks, etc but its massive work what us the fan base have done compared to the original project
Title: Re: ROBOT ARENA 3
Post by: Sparkey98 on July 15, 2010, 11:47:58 PM
DSL needs a website, and it's own forum. THAT will help.

It's help if other people make they're own forums, too. I thought about "the fire forums" but then thout "meh"
Title: Re: ROBOT ARENA 3
Post by: JoeBlo on July 15, 2010, 11:49:50 PM
umm Sparkey THIS IS the official DSL TC forums

it became home to RA2 in general after Atari gave our community the metaphorical middle finger
Title: Re: ROBOT ARENA 3
Post by: Sparkey98 on July 15, 2010, 11:54:19 PM
I would'nt call it a middle finger, they stopped producing the game and forums cost money.

I just meant a non stock forum JUST for DSL. I want to make my own forum though........

What makes you think that DSL needs the things you described?

Separating the community between multiple forums reduces its overall strength. We have had something like that in the past but all it did was form feuds that were allowed to fester between the forums. At one point, we even tried having a forum for the advanced users (to get away from the n00bs) but that lasted for an even shorter amount of time...

this brings forth a small side project I was tinkering with...

http://Backlash.robotarena.info (http://Backlash.robotarena.info)

but for the reason Trov just mentioned

Separating the community between multiple forums reduces its overall strength.

I chose not to use it (but had some fun building the theme from scratch) Backlash is and will be much stronger within GTM, it can be seen on other users forums on this website, Gazea's forum is one (no offense) but you can see how little the community moves over so pulling it apart would really reduce the size big time (plus I wuv GTM  :gawe: )

eFFe and I were working on it. Gave up once our framework (Ogre + Ageia) was too limited. Then we were supposed to get started again, but eFFe didn't have much time to work on the project. I am still doing some OpenGL game engine programming in my free time.

We used Ogre. It sucked, since without modifications to the engine (thus requiring me to understand the internal working of this monster)

Also, I was hoping to do some 3D development on my netbook, but it looks like my graphics card doesn't support OpenGL 2.0 (using which I already started developing my engine on my dev box). Oh well, I'll have to wait a month to get back to Warsaw.

I'd like to suggest a single piece dog-leg shaped extender with varying lengths of both segments. Also choice of angle. Could use the alloys available and their hit points.

It'd be useful in making grippy arms and cool looking scorpion tail type weapons.
