DSL 2.12/ DSL 2.1 AI/minor fixes

[Shield]

idk whether this belongs in technical support or whatevs

but i noticed that DSL 2.1, as perfect as it is, could use a bit of touch up considering Click released a new, better Battlebox and a new Flipper AI, and the firestorm replica is an absolute havok bomb due to the flipper being a bit too light (21 KG if I'm not mistaken)

so, i was going to ask if anyone has made a new better version, or if I'm allowed to do it myself (Fix Firestorm's havok problem, replace the battlebox, switch all the flipper Ai's with the new one maybe even add on a couple of replicas idk)

EDIT: Done.

also there has been the NarmorBeGone thingy. I thought about this too a while ago. there should be some kind of dsl 2.2 with some things fixed like shield mentioned. GoldenFox made an improved Chaos 2  that actually was powerfull like the real one IIRC

I'll get on those two things later.

For now tho, good news. I have at least managed to stop Firestorm's havok parade while still having it at MW. Which I guess is good. I have yet to test the Flipper AI.

Also, I plan on adding on a couple of teams, here are the themes I'm going for:

-Pure Flipper team (Doesn't matter if it's LW, MW or HW, long as it's a IRL flipper it's accepted)
-Pure UHW team (idk why probably gonna crash or at least cause a lot of people's PC's to lag but UHW needs more love)

EDIT: Also, if anyone can give me the link to the new Battlebox that'd be great. And if anyone has the aforementioned updated Chaos 2 that'd be swell.

It's probably been said many a time, but whats narmour and narmour be gone?

naryar's solution to not losing a thing that naryar did where bots could be virtually unstoppable

A DSL equivalant of caster armor, Narmor takes advantage of the odd collision mesh of the skirt hinge component. It involves attaching a series of skirt hinges along a robot's front side and angling them to create a near-impenetrable and largely invisible shield. The advantages over caster armor are, it is much, much lighter, covers more area, and can be attached to slopes easily. The disadvantages are mainly getting trashed by other members (due to its unrealistic characteristics), but also wide wedges tend to get stuck between 2 skirt hinges (somehow like caster armor but worse)

[Natster-104]

Ahhhh I see

[Naryar]

lol, virtually unstoppable ? it's just a variant of caster armor.

i really wonder why everyone banned it even though it has quite a bit of drawbacks.

It's in modification ideas. Titled DSL 2.1 fixes if I'm not mistaken

[HurricaneAndrew]

I suggest adding the Containment Cube arena and Trov's Action Cam.

Aren't they already in DSL 2.1?

Not for me.

Also, what about other arena's? (Epic Showdown, infinity, electric arena 2 etc)

I wouldn't go overboard with arenas. I just suggested Containment Cube because it seems to be a pretty popular arena with tournament hosts.

I know. A couple of these arenas sound pretty cool though.

Also, regarding tourneys, do we use this version when I'm done with it or....?

It shouldn't matter - you're not balancing components.
Side note: did the arena compilation ever get released?

The in game firestorm flipper is now 23 KG's instead of 10.
