Noob questions

Dont listen to him, he uh makes cheaty skirthinge armour!

[thestaggy]

Okay, I got the Alphasim RobotWars pack working, kind of. I can select the robots but can't get into any arena to actually fight. Game just kicks out. And when I tried to build a bot, a few of the new parts that came with the pack also kick you out if you try and select them. But there is also no readme for idiots like me that come with Alphasim's packs.

Conversely, I downloaded the Starcore V3 pack, that ran fine but one problem; it still only provides you with standard parts but the robots you have to fight are like monstrous beasts with all kinds of weapons going on. One bot, named "Tommy Gun", destroyed me in about 15 seconds flat. That ass kicking was worse than anything "EMERGENCY" ever gave me. Have I done something wrong, AGAIN, or is that just how it is?

Dammit, I'm a retard with this stuff.

[Jonzu95]

You haven't done anything wrong. Starcore AI bots are hard to beat if you are not very good builder. But I suggest to try your best and Listen good advice. :)

Good Lord, okay, I thought they'd have at least given you some new parts in the Starcore pack. I'm quite away from having the skill to beat that bunch.

[Naryar]

You are just new, and it's normal. None of us were good when we got the game for the first time. You need to learn how to build good bots and soon you will be able to kick SCv3 ass if your progress is good enough.

Anyways, showcase.

[NFX]

Yeah, Showcase would be a good start. And you really threw yourself in off the deep end, getting ScV3 straight away. I'd have gone for Version 1.0 if you wanted a bit more of a challenge from the Stock without stretching yourself.

[Naryar]

Yeah, I went v1.0/v2.0/v3.0/v4 Alpha WAY later.

I got Starcore 3 (skipping 1 and 2) way too early in my robot building career :P

I got Starcore a matter of days after I made Box O' Bolts.

[Natef]

Welcome!

I started at v3.

I did that, then found DSL and left stock behind, although I probably should give it another go actually, I feel like a wimp for just playing DSL now.

I don't play stock anymore, but yet don't feel like a wimp for this !

Yes, but you've dedicated yourself to be great at DSL, I simply stopped playing stock because I found it boring.
And, to go against the grain, i'd prefer to be average at both rather than just average at DSL

I stopped played stock ALSO because it is boring when you have tasted DSL.

[JoeBlo]

I preferred stock until I found out I was better at DSL :P

havent played stock for a while now

Yeah, also innovation is a lot more common in DSL, most stock bots just look the same if they're a popup and a mess if they're not.
We'll see though, i'll try to make something interesting in stock, for now, back to helping the new guy.

[Sage]

I started at Starcore V3 as well. The steep learning curve is great for building. Try cloning some of the designs.

So Starcore is a lot harder than NAR AI?

Maybe Naryar need to make a superhard version of NAR AI.

Give me some time and I might

What would that be like?
Custom components or 1337 bots?
