DSL 2.2 - Good Robottal's 2018 Battlebots Pack
When I BFEd a chassis, it worked fine and in the bot lab, it displayed correctly. However in the testing arena, not only did the BFE not make a difference to its appearance, but the mesh acted as if the chassis was tweaked, like in the bot lab.

This actually happens to me as well, and has been happening for a while, so I'd be interested to know the solution.

the bot file contains two meshes, one for the bot lab and one for the collisions in combat. you need to edit both

Do you know where this second mesh is? There are only 3 instances where I find the coordinates of a point, which represents the 3 meshes a single point has.

That's what I've been doing, but there are only 3 things that match the coordinates in the bot file, and replacing all makes no difference

Try setting your graphics quality to Low.  If you have it on Med or High, it will show changes to the main height (ie Y-value at the very top of the Bot File)  but nothing else.

Thanks, I had it set on medium, and setting it to low fixed it easily.
