Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

[jackster96]

awesome work on the quick patches :D the new arena looks amazing, just a small one is that shunts axe doesn't have any sound when fired and bigger brother still feels a bit weak as its very hard to get most robots more than a few inches of the floor. Ill keep trying out all the new robots and if I find anything else i shall post it.
I just got the same issue that Redace had i was using barberous and i got pushed up slightly onto the arena wall and when i landed it counted as eliminated.
Edit: seems like we have a friendly AI when they use lightning doesn't go for the flip.

Okay here we go.

X-Terminator 2 is still incredibly weak

Largely by design - Havok and all that.

If you hit F1 to see a robot's controls whilst the scoreboard is present the game freezes.

The scoreboard? Like, the thing at the end of matches? People press F1 when that comes up? Pretty sure that's not our doing there.

Also, the controls for Bigger Brother are incredibly confusing.

Edit; Same for Behemoth. And I bet many others.

Yeah, they're set up for xbox controllers, as were most of the old release bots. My advice would always be to check robot wiring after import.

Also the thumbnail for the sao paulo arena is the bridge of doom.

Oh well :P

just a small one is that shunts axe doesn't have any sound when fired

See above

bigger brother still feels a bit weak as its very hard to get most robots more than a few inches of the floor.

By design, BB is fairly weak these days.

I just got the same issue that Redace had i was using barberous and i got pushed up slightly onto the arena wall and when i landed it counted as eliminated.

We can't fix this, just something that has to be dealt with, if I recall correctly. Apologies.

seems like we have a friendly AI when they use lightning doesn't go for the flip.

I'll take a look at this if I get a chance.

Hope everyone else is enjoying... I'm going to sleep. :')

You don't need to tell me that, I know, we all know. But if we did we would've been covered in yet more messages about how we keep delaying it.
Damned if we did, damned if we didn't.

There do seem to be a fair few bugs and issues, but I wouldn't say releasing it was a bad decision. I mean, you've (assuming it was just you doing the patches) done lots already to stay on top of the bugs. (those patches were lightning fast, seriously) The mod is still great as it is. The stuff that made it so much fun in the first place is still there, and there's new stuff along with it. All things considered, releasing it now and patching it little by little seems to be the best option.

Hope everyone else is enjoying... I'm going to sleep. :')

That's probably for the best. Great job staying on top of the bugs!

Im loving the Tag Team Version of the Robot Wars Live Arena the music is awesome!

If you hit F1 to see a robot's controls whilst the scoreboard is present the game freezes.

This is just a bug with RA2 in general and isn't fixable by Craaig or anyone on the mod team.

For some random reason matilda never seems to use her fly wheel

For some random reason matilda never seems to use her fly wheel

It's an AI thing. CPU controlled robots never use rear weapons.

Just compressing down the new download for today.
The Overnight Patch which is also being uploaded will be needed for anyone who downloaded yesterday, fixes some other things not found in the 2 hotfixes.
Thanks to Badnik and Mazakari for that tech support while I was sleeping, very much appreciated.
Will probably be taking a few days to not do a lot to do with this after these uploads are done, exhausted :')

[rhys746]

I'm very curious to know how did you manage to place iron awe 2.1 in the game without it coming up with an error?

[cephalopod]

Why? We just put the components in and AIed it like any other robot...

[Elementos]

I had a feeling the controls problem was something to do with an external gamepad. Will I just have to change the controls or is there some other way around it?

[cephalopod]

You've just got to change the wiring. As with every mod with RA2, all the wirings in Robot Designs are purely subjective.

Thanks to this mod I've now managed to finish my first robot

[dead0fire]

Who names their robot Fhqwhgads Micro?

[FOTEPX]

Y'know, I actually prefer the selection of wheels in this mod to DSL 2.2, despite a few duplicates.

Quick promo of the new Series 7 Arena :)

[RpJk]

I would like to point out that the new RW 7 arena is freaking awesome. I love the lower walls and drop zone.

Nice upgrade to the mod guys. Once again I'm having a bad day and you people come to turn it around.


Thank You.

[helloface]

Blame any bugs on the pestering fanboys who pestered the team constantly and allowed little time for testing.

That being said, fantastic mod. Thank you to everyone involved with this mod who managed to produce something great despite the stress and pressure.

[Elementos]

Exactly.

I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say this but a massive thank you to everyone involved. You truly deserve a lot of appreciation. There has never been a really good RW game and this damn well makes up for it. It's good to have a little bit of my childhood back :3

But seriously, try to take a break. You really do deserve it. Please don't feel as if you're obliged to update the mod with patches every day, guys.
