Questions

[Classicus]

I feel like making some robots. The good news is I have forgotten how to do just about everything.

I have a couple of questions:

>Is this place still active in terms of building?

>Has a compatible free or cheap 3D editor for the GMF files been found? I have found a vector coordinate software for mapping points but something more user friendly would be good.
>Have seen some new mods with new components mentioned in forum. Any links welcome, as I cannot see any in downloads section apart from stock and DSL 2.1
>Could someone link me the DSL3 mod if that is still around?

Just build some bots and see what's what.

Thanks.

Good to see you back man :)

Yeah, people still build, it's a little quiet right now - possibly because of school - but we're all still going.
For 3D editing, HereticBlue's probably the best to answer that - he's working on a pretty awesome Robot Wars mod (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=15064.0).
The main new mod that's been released it 123's Ironforge, which is probably frankly my favourite mod of all time. Check it out here - https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16805.0.
And here's the link to the DSL3 beta, can't exactly remember how it's installed - over a clean Stock, I think - but yeah. http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/DSL3beta1.rar

It's still pretty active.

Not that I'm aware of.

>Have seen some new mods with new components mentioned in forum. Any links welcome, as I cannot see any in downloads section apart from stock and DSL 2.1

Probably the one most mentioning is Ironforge TC, since the new components introduce an entirely new metagame. It's even got its own showcase board and bot exchange section.
Here's the link to it: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16805.0

Welcome back btw.

>Not anymore since a week maybe, but it's just a temporary thing (and school)
>No
>Yes, Ironforge is the new fad, althogh people don't build in it anymore that much
>Yes, https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13584.0

balance is completely messed up (the only good weapon is the DSL bar), you can try NAR AI 3 for DSL3 though.

edit: dual ninja attack damn

Unfortunately no.  You can help change that.

Has anyone figured out how to predict effect of changing the first three TM_ROW's of an attach point with regard to its alignment? I'd like to find a more efficient method than guess work and elimination.

Or if you want to learn the math instead, you can do so here

Thanks for that, and all responses. All very useful.
