well i have few questions :P

A) well, is obvious that is not posible play online with the downloaded ver, you can but only LAN or hamachi games, but is kinda hard to find, and when i finally find one is full like the one posted in this forum, are those still active?, people still playing this game online in those hamachi servers?

B) the onle posted here is full, this is basically part of the A question, can you clean or do something in that hamachi network? (if the question A = yes, if is not active then nvm) because i would like to join that room but is full and i dun think it is full of online/active people

C) i saw in youtube robots flying o-O, is it part of dSL? or other compoenent, also does it ruins the game?, i would like to have fair fights, not like few components i've seen around that rlly well in my opinion ruins the game because makes the robot so powerful so well like every1 is going to use it, then will be hard to find diversity of robots (all will be using that component)

D) the camera is HORRIBLE! (im so noob so maybe it just get easyer with time) so, if not, is there a way to modify it?, i would be SOOO happy if i can scroll up more (get a closer view)

E) Can you modify pieces that u've already placed?, like their angle or something?

F) in alot of games or design stuff, is common to see a key (usually shift) to move the pieces straight, (90º, 180º, 0º, 270º) i mean u hold then u just move and they go like that, does robots arena have something like that?, because im placing hinge extender and is damn annoying, when i place my titanium skirt i always go something like that : / . and hard to make it straight when the camera is far!

im sure i have more questions (sorry, i know few stuff is like i get lazy sometimes and well i just dun try to figure it out myself but well idk), ill edit the post if i remember more...

lol?

C:what vid?
D: In a battle or in bot lab? in bot lab, zoom while in the overview and then go to components with out pointing the mouse in the veiw screen until you are placing the component. In a battle, I think it's either F10 or F2 when in an AI fight.
E:nope, besides a snapper burst motor or whatever there called, yeah it sucks doesn't it?

The vids are probably of Joe's Destroyer bots. They use a component accessed when you typ in "cheatbot2" as a name in DSL, and it works in Stock 1.3 too.

i tested it but the hovercraft engine is not working for me (obviously im using it wrong)... :\ why?

you need to attach a disk under the hover engine, maybe on a servo

System00: you were once a n00b also - https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1224

cant make it work, also soo many stuff in cheatbot2, i dont even know properly the normal DSL components T_T, any downloadable bots of cheatbot2?

For the camera, click "F2" for the orbit cam. its great, follows your bot, zooms in and out, and you can move it anywhere you want.

(The scroll on the mouse works for zooming, but i think you can use pg up and pg down buttons as well)

Did anybody bother telling this guy that to use the hover engine, the flamethrower, and the cannon, you need to have an air tank in your bot.....? I didn't think so .....

There are no extra bots in cheatbot2, and the parts don't stay in the part list for long.
