Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on July 07, 2009, 05:46:58 PM: I thought i might as well show my bots to you all(since they aren't very good).

Here is "WARNING!"

Inside the bot:

Comments, ratings, criticizing, and help is acceptable.

Post by: R1885 on July 07, 2009, 05:48:20 PM: Get it in full, don't use custom parts.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on July 07, 2009, 07:05:47 PM: If you are talking about those Wheelguard parts, I think they are aviable for use without cheatbot code, but the fact that the bot is over weight is not a good thing.

S3 wheels arent exactly grippy and the bot is way overpowered, I think 2 of those blacks should be enough. But what that bot really needs is some damaging weapons, imo.

Also, what armor? Steel 10? Try to use any of the Titanium ones, they are the best in DSL.

Edit: Just noticed, why is the backround that of stock? Did you only install the DSL components and not the whole pack?

Post by: ACAMS on July 07, 2009, 07:08:48 PM: You need 1.3 patch to fix your buttons......just BE SURE to get the right one.

Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on July 07, 2009, 08:30:49 PM: I have to use the stock because every time i go into DSL, the game crashes. I don't get the DSL armor, only components. It's over weight because it's a SHW, i don't like making LW's and MW's. I'm only good with HW and SHW.

EDIT: ACAMS, i downloaded the patch, it completely erased all my teams and every bot i made. It didn't do anything to the buttons either.

Post by: R1885 on July 07, 2009, 08:34:10 PM: Full DSL:

Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on July 07, 2009, 08:47:29 PM: ACAMS...... The patch completely messed up the game, i can't do a match, i can't build a bot, i can't do anything.

I'm probably going to have to completely reinstall it.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 07, 2009, 08:53:55 PM: Well, you do seem to have both Stock and DSL mixed. I suggest that you reinstall the game, apply the 1.3 patch, then make a copy of the game folder, and apply DSL to one and have a seperate stock one.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Jack Daniels on July 07, 2009, 09:11:25 PM: Agreed, the game just goes FUBAR if you don't keep DSL and Stock separate. Heck, I keep those separate and have a launch for Starcore AI pack as well. It just keeps everything more stable, when you swap the stuff around between it all, chaos breaks out. ACAMS is just trying to help, so keep at it.

i think everyone here has had to reinstall the game quite a few times as they learned the ropes... its all part of the fraternal hazing.

You have to use the right patch.....use the patch for the downloaded version and it should fix it, unless you have other problems.

BE SURE TO OVERWRITE ANYTHING IT WANTS TO.

Post by: Sage on July 07, 2009, 09:30:22 PM: For DSL that works download the one in my sig. You don't have to do anything but download.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on July 07, 2009, 10:56:52 PM: ACAMS, i fixed the game, the patch somewhat worked, but i had to move lots of files around to get it working.

Either way, here is Detonater

Post by: trumpetguy on July 08, 2009, 12:15:19 AM: Heres what a more expierienced bot builder would say (I'm not one)
-Overpowered
-Underweight
-Wierd weapon choice(my opinion)
and why do you have the stock motherboard?
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 08, 2009, 12:23:53 AM: Please un-mix Stock and DSL on your game. Like I said, make two copies, one fully Stock and one fully DSL.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Naryar on July 08, 2009, 01:42:06 AM: That drive is WAY too fast for a hammer.

And yeah, remove a black battery.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on July 08, 2009, 12:43:27 PM: Anyways, here is another one.

Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Flying_Chao on July 08, 2009, 01:30:03 PM: A lot of empty space....
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: LiNcK on July 08, 2009, 03:22:09 PM: Chassis too big...
Drive = PH41L, You have the weight... Use TDRWs
You could change those hammers for DSL Hammers, They have WAYYY more HP than normal ones.

Also, One hit in those extenders were the hammers are atached and you lost your whole hammer, Its not needed (My opinion)

Post by: System32 on July 08, 2009, 06:16:46 PM: Are those RFSAI Replicas?

No.

Here is another bot i finished making earlier today.

Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Doomkiller on July 11, 2009, 01:27:49 AM: Black batts are bad due to the power to rate ratio and I don't think thats enough weapon for a SHW even if it is spinning on a doble perm. Also a Fast (and very lucky) bot could hit those very vunerable carbon extenders and the plastic extenders
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: man manu on July 11, 2009, 06:10:02 AM: Use a different weapon. The blades you are using at the moment are very weak and break easily. Also use better batteries.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: trumpetguy on July 11, 2009, 11:40:04 AM: Replace the extenders for a DSL bar.

Post by: somestrangeguy on July 14, 2009, 02:18:04 PM: ^What he said^

Always build DSL bots like you would be bulding in real life, that means no moving things going trough motors, wheels or other moving things.

And dont forget to show insides.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: System32 on July 14, 2009, 02:22:49 PM: Triton:Then why did you not only build an exact copy of an RFS AI bot, but call it the same name?
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on July 14, 2009, 02:31:52 PM: I didn't know it was an RFS AI bot.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: trumpetguy on July 14, 2009, 02:52:16 PM: And the mystery unraveils. Haven't played the RFS pack for a while.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on July 17, 2009, 05:08:05 PM: I don't have the RFS pack.

Here is another:

Post by: R1885 on July 22, 2009, 09:24:48 PM: Lighten the extender work, and get rid of the drill.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on July 22, 2009, 09:27:33 PM: I tried that, no drill = phail.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: R1885 on July 22, 2009, 09:41:30 PM: I also see a wedge fail.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: trumpetguy on July 22, 2009, 09:43:32 PM: Replace baseplate with the multi extender.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on July 22, 2009, 09:49:21 PM: Too much empty space and you would be fine using alunium extenders or even poly extenders on areas that are not in danger of getting hit, for example the backside of the bot.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on August 10, 2009, 10:17:14 PM: Reviving my thread, with many new bots.

Here is Titanium Terror(coudn't come up with better name)

Post by: doomaster543 on August 11, 2009, 01:05:52 PM: you need more weapons so switch to 2wd npc fasts put more weapons and get rid of that empty space!
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Reier on August 11, 2009, 01:16:37 PM: Hehe, empty space, that's actually good space managment.
But yeah, dm is right.

Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: takatsukiyayoi on August 11, 2009, 04:23:22 PM: Use razors instead of that stupid sword.
Also, "upgrade" to Drive TWM3Rs and drop some of the C02 bottles.

Thank you for mentioning that.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Naryar on August 30, 2009, 04:27:41 AM: Keep 4WD for heavyweights.

2WD NPC Fast/Hypnos are a very solid MW drive system and the fastest you should use IMO (Technos on NPCF's is borderline)

Here is Black Hawk

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25223blackhawk.jpg)

Power: 2 battlepacks
Drive Motor: 4 NPC fasts
Weapon Motor: Dual Perm 132
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Reier on September 19, 2009, 07:08:59 PM: I like the look, but that's kinda a brittle weapon and that's really low battery power. Hmm... maybe change the steel skirts to aluminum or something and if the armor is a high setting lower it. Pretty neat looking bot though.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 19, 2009, 07:20:11 PM: You gotta be kidding... You're using a rammer's drive train for a HW HS and only 70 kg of weapons on a dual perm? That's not even enough for a MW HS !

EDIT: Oh and massive battery power fail as well.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: 123savethewhales on September 19, 2009, 07:32:55 PM: I usually like to have at least 180 kg worth of weapons on a HW.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: TriTon on September 28, 2009, 08:57:16 PM: Ok, a new bot, but something that you will rarely see from me, a poker.

Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: trumpetguy on September 28, 2009, 10:32:13 PM: I looks to me thats overpowered, unless I can't see a mystical component that sucks battery life, I seriously think this is a slight step back, you should know better than this....

If you think there's a custom component in there then..."NO!"
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 28, 2009, 11:20:54 PM: Well, redo the chassis then. Just use 1 piston and attach all the spikes to it via extenders/beater bars. You could also make it 6WD if you're mad enough. XD
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: 123savethewhales on September 28, 2009, 11:31:50 PM: Use large co2 tanks instead of small. Yes it makes that much a difference.

It is 4WD.

Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 29, 2009, 04:33:14 AM: Less pistons, more weapons on each, 6 ant batts, and ONLy large Pumas if you have the weight.
Title: Triton's showcase
Post by: Reier on September 29, 2009, 08:30:36 AM: Yay, MD3! Just kinda looks like it. Not accusing you. Little better chassis management then it'll be a real killer.
