*Click realizes he has hardly any good DSL HW's*

Nice work on this pack, it's good to have so many tough new DSL opponents. There haven't been any other custom DSL AI packs before this.

Nice balance too, with a good amount of hammers and even a few oddballs (e=mc2, Scavenger) mixed in with the expected popups and spinners.

The only things I miss are WreckTangle (that bot is too fun to tear apart), the original Velociraptor (the new one is better, but doesn't look half as cool), and the original Industrial Coal Miner (I liked the three-disc drill setup; makes it different from ordinary face spinners).

I haven't even fought a lot of the bots yet, but all the ones I've fought work right except The Machine (in Orcish Power) which is wired with a switch control for the spinner. And 123savethewhales is right about Smelter, the flamethrowers DO run out of juice pretty fast, though that's not a huge issue. They need to be wired to an analog control in order to fire continuously.

Also, the melty brain SnS's are kind of laggy. But cool. And very tough.

How about Darkling?

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #162 on:** September 26, 2009, 10:03:59 PM »

My Darkling, or Naryar's Darkling?

Mine is powerful, but it has a bad wedge. And a bot like that needs a good wedge.

Actually that is the problem with most of my bots. It's hard to make a good wedge.

I agree I loved the look of that robot when I first got DSL

Your Darklling, it looks very good.

Naryar · « **Reply #165 on:** September 27, 2009, 05:18:51 AM »

Hmm. I could make another Wrecktangle as a (bad) SHW, and yes ICM isn't convincing enough, i might rebuild it and make a trapping quad-disc drill setup.

And, second time i say that, Smelter's flamers ARE on an analog control.

And Melty Brain SnS are a new addition... there will be more i'll see if i can get a single wheel one to work.

EDIT: @Natef: Of course you can, but you better send your really good bots...

Nary:
Most of the pokers don't seem to "poke" in my game.

There is no bot called Guardian in NAR AI. And if you mean Guard Duty, then no, it doesn't.

I think I meant Scavenger,sorry

Scavenger isnt a serious bot, but i couldn't probably make it better so it'll stay like this.

Analog bug only works when a real person is holding the button the whole time. The computer will stop firing in many occasions regardless of what you have on your AI (such as when opponent's timer comes up, or the whole pulsing every second problem). The only way you can really imitate flame thrower @ full length for the entire match is just use a custom flamethrower (or gas tank) component. It's not cheating if it is only imitating what a real person can do.

Though for smelter, I think you need 2 co2 large for 4 flame to fire @ full length at start.

I hate to have to point this out, but...

Black Matter isn't invertible.

The normals on Lock Nut's 12kg teeth are facing the wrong way.

Badnik & STC... do you both has 2.1 patch on DSL ? it introduced new attachment points for some components perhaps that is the problem
