Title: Firestorm flipper madness
Post by: Dalek Sram on August 04, 2013, 10:06:04 AM
I'm having trouble with Firestorm in DSL 2.

Every time it uses it's flipper, weather to flip or to self-right, the robot goes berserk and flies around the arena. Why? What's going on?

The only thing I have to go on is that it only happens in the download package that comes with Thermidor II. Could there be a connection?

It's the judge burst. It needs 30kg (I think) attached to it, or else it will havok.

The best fix is to go into the Firestorm Flipper bot file and adjust the weight to something like 40kg.

I see. How do you do that if you don't mind me asking? (I'm new to this you see)

Head into your RA2 folder, then go into the folder labeled 'components', look for and open the txt file called firestormflipper.txt, you should see the 'mass' category  which is weight edit that from 10, to 30, (or 40 in Mazakai's case). Save that, and you should be good to go.

Evidently you didn't publicise it enough as this is the first time I've heard of it.

I made a thread about, I think I put it out before you came back.

Click himself stated that he'd like it to be called 2.1.1 since it doesn't change any core gameplay mechanics

It is a modernized. Up to date DSL. It features updated flipper AI, pre-installed narmour, DSL-ified alternate bots (Barbershop Chop, Spin Bonker etc.), fixed the firestorm flipper problem, trov' action cam pre installed, the BBEANS arenas also pre installed and that's about it. It's mostly catered for new players so they don't have to go through the hassle of looking for these individual mods or text editing themselves.

Already got all that stuff. Still very considerate of you to put it all in a pack, though.
