Some more Spin Doctors.

Updated TF, now it's a dual HS again

Shield · « **Reply #641 on:** August 29, 2013, 10:18:06 PM »

Finished Spin Doctors and Alien Invasion.

Yes, I understand, Praetorian doesn't look like that, but due to stability issues, the plows were a must.

Chestburster doesn't look like that either, but it was in serious need of an upgrade.

Regarding the current fate of the AI Pack, I'll be relasing the Alpha soon, which will consist of 5 teams instead, (Jabberwocky, Alien Invasion, Karnage, Spin Doctors, The Pit).

The main issue now are the skins and Bindings. My bindings are different mainly because most of the AI in my game have been replaced by other bots instead of the default DSL AI. As for the skins, they will be different to say the least.

Pretty good. The only one lagging is Predator.

I can help with bindings, if you have any problems just give a PM and I'll probably provide the bindings for you. As for the bots, the only problem I see is that Facehugger and Chest Burster are in the wrong weight classes, though that aside you've got some nice bots.

Yea, Predator kinda sucks.

But then again, it sucked in Starcore anyways

I got confoosed

I'll go fix 'em later.

Fixed the wrong weightclass bot thingies

And, Mini Karnage is born. In DSL that is...

I've also finished Klip, but it's chassis is just small block instead of a wide one. So, not sure if I want to go with it.

Right now, I think Paranoia can help me with the Bindings part of things, Skins will be the main issue, but I'll try my best (No promises that it will be perfect tho).

The question floating around in my head as of now is the name. Should it be called Starcore when Starcore? Or something else? And, should I let other users send in their own teams? At that point, I don't think we can call it Starcore anymore. But, it would also expand the number of teams as well, so I'm not sure.

do it better

Let other users add teams to it so it may make some interest for DSL Unrealistic

You should remake the hidden team by Pys

I plan on doing just that.

But I don't have anything to refer to for building them. I think they MIGHT be in my game, but I'm not entirely sure since I tinkered around with it quite a while back.

But what about the name? I don't think we should call it Starcore when all the bots weren't even built by Starcore himself.

Yes, the designs were his, but there are at least a handful of them which are going to be, upgraded, either due to DSL being different from stock or perhaps the bots were already just bad to begin with. Examples: Klip has smaller chassis, Praetorian is also now very dangerous, I might make the Team Jabberwocky bots curved hammers so that they stand a chance, Vortex CE MIGHT be a bit lower, I don't know yet.

What do you guys think? Should I try and improve them or stay as close to the original as possible?

Shield · « **Reply #651 on:** September 02, 2013, 10:17:08 AM »

Ugh. Finished up rest of Karnage.

And, the first bot on Team Jabberwocky

MassimoV · « **Reply #652 on:** September 02, 2013, 01:12:34 PM »

Assuming BKB can't turn.

there is no way you could make that chassis from starting off on the side without BFE

Shield · « **Reply #656 on:** September 02, 2013, 06:50:32 PM »

Nah. BKB starts out normal like other bots.

Shield · « **Reply #657 on:** September 03, 2013, 10:21:01 AM »

Oh hey I finally got around to building four more Jabberwocky bots

Yes, the three hammer bots don't look like that, but face it, they sucked in Starcore. Why not give 'em an upgrade?

Anyways, all of them can really dish out damage, but for that, they sacrifice the ability to self right. Which is bad. But they rarely get flipped anyways.

Too lazy to work on the BW right now. I'll work on the rest of the bots, eventually.

then why not make them actually decent, these are just terrible and if you aren't going to stick with the original designs, i don't know why you're making them at all.

Don't forget to skin them.
