@Wham:Just download it for a precise description.

@Click: For simple and free replicas, you could just vampirize the AU BB AI pack whole, and then get to the real DSL thing. Who cares about the "permission to use" if AU is dead and we're just trying to make DSL better?

I would LOVE Hazard to be in the new pack, he is one of my favs...

Well, build it. It's pretty much easy to do if you find the Tornado Mer weapon parts in the cheatbot2 weapons.

True...
Phobius (The green FBS MW, i think its called Phobius) would be good as well.
A couple of the robots over here would be nice to, like Kan-Opener, Envy or Iron-Awe 5.

Haha, awesome ^_^;

If there's going to be a Superheavyweight category, does that mean there'll be Ant/Beetleweights too?

Screw minor fixes, you could add alot to DSL that would make the game and builders genuine and unique.

A lot of people seem to be wondering this, so I'll just say it: Making replicas bigger/smaller will be part of making them their proper weight classes.

Regarding Razer, I actually did curve the claw a bit more, but that thing is a bear to edit. So many vertexes, and in no order whatsoever. It's at least better than it was.

I'd also like to update the side panels to Razer's newer, smoother look, but those would be even worse to try and edit.

Anyways, here's some battle shots of the new Nightmare.

Visual improvements include a visible weapon motor, a better-looking disc, triangular braces on the side, and the UGO logo on the right arm is no longer mirrored. Technical improvements include greater power and greater stability.

Incidentally, working on Nightmare's teeth gave me a new idea for balancing weapons. Nightmare's teeth have low HP (600) but high fracture (1400). So as long as they don't take too many big hits, they won't fall off even after reaching 0 HP. But if you hit them really hard and break 1400 damage, they will snap off. A lot more like real life. I'm considering rebalancing the stock teeth in this way.

I was always wondering what fracture meant. Nightmare looks great.

i have tired to do this however im an over done type of guy. so i got to thinking. how they are attc would effect how hard they are to knock off. on a disk they would be bloted on but if they are static then they are welded. on a piston then welded, so i got to thinking again how could we change the strength or fracture depending on what type weapon its on. the only thing i could think of is have 2 sets of weapons for the 2 diff attc methods. idk i am over thinking it but it is real in every sence.

OK, you guys have been left in the dark long enough.

Here's what we have so far of the new Race mode.

As you can see, all the necessary programming is worked out. All that's left is to finish the actual arenas and make some AI opponents. You can expect to see more like that modified All Terrain Train

H@zm47 · « **Reply #54 on:** December 14, 2008, 09:56:00 PM »

That's really cool. Nice work

70 CUDA · « **Reply #55 on:** December 14, 2008, 10:18:50 PM »

BADAZZ man thats the best thing iv seen in a long time. lol mind you im a dragrace fan.

Naryar · « **Reply #56 on:** December 15, 2008, 01:16:44 AM »

That looks sweeeet.

I'll be glad to make some racing bots, too...

Urjak · « **Reply #57 on:** December 15, 2008, 10:19:37 AM »

That new Nightmare looks really good. Unfortunatly, my computer can't run videos, thus I don't know anything about the race track. I can tell this new version of DSL is going to be great. :D

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #58 on:** December 15, 2008, 02:27:41 PM »

Figure 8 race track would be good aswell.
For arenas, try the RR arena, made even more chalenging because the new fence around the edge stops robot from getting flipped out in the first like 10seconds, so there for making flippers think more.
I would quite like a go at making some racing robots aswell.

Dexterhunter · « **Reply #59 on:** December 15, 2008, 08:34:35 PM »

A suggestion for El Diablo. Make it so you cant hit the tread component, so if it where to lose mobility it just loses the wheel behind it. Don't know I just been irritated to see the treads fall off and it can still move.
