That looks like you used a standard rammer and slapped a comp wedge and a popup weapon on it => predictable fail.

This is why I am looking for advice to make my bots better. Just a couple months ago I was building DOGs. I have yet to learn the Dos and Don'ts of DSl. Now, I would like some "helpful" advice on what to do to make this bot be O.K. Not just "That is a FAIL." I want advice to make it better.

stop with thepussycat wheels they're not cool

You want a popup/rammer hybrid ? Build your hybrid so the rammer weapons DON'T interfere with the normal function of the popup.

As an example, see Razorback 3 in NAR AI.

Thank you. That was all I was asking for.

Does anyone know an alternate way to take a screen shot? My keyboard wont let me use the prnt scrn button, and I want to show a bot.

get fraps and select a certain button

F11 takes a screenshot of the RA2 window, and saves it to the Screenshots folder in the game directory. You'll need to both crop it (Everyone konws what the Bot Lab looks like, and it takes up vastly more memory space than necessary), and save it as either a .JPG or - preferably, because you don't get the blurriness - a .PNG format.

F11 won't work either

It seems there is a problem. I was trying to download DSL on my new laptop (windows7) so I could take a pic of that bot. After installing winrar I went to Sages sig to DL Dsl. But after a long wait, the DL list says "Your file may have been moved or deleted" and sure enough, it was gone. Why did this happen and what can I do so I can DL DSL.

MassimoV · « **Reply #134 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:09:45 PM »

Try saving it instead.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #135 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:11:40 PM »

I did press save.

MassimoV · « **Reply #136 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:20:56 PM »

Than click open.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #137 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:24:04 PM »

Never mind.

Bot coming soon. Just have to bring the bot from the bot exchange and snapshot it.

BTW can you crop pictures in MS Paint Windows7?
