Thank you, Jonzu...

It's just the fact that ever since I mentioned RW: AOD,
there are no more updates on the thread! It's what made
me think that I had killed DSL 3!

Nonsense ! A single little harmless comment is not going to stop Click from making DSL3.

sure? :P

Naryar · « **Reply #463 on:** December 02, 2009, 12:24:29 PM »

Absolutely sure. As far as i can read and reason, he's not a guy that changes his mind on a whim.

Thyrus · « **Reply #464 on:** December 02, 2009, 12:28:15 PM »

Wasn`t a serious post :)

I don`t think that anyone is changin his mind just because of a comment like that

Hurrah! The comments are coming back, and discussions of
the wonders of DSL 3 have been resurrected!

I'm so happy

Nope, I'm like the mailman. Rain, snow, sleet, or hail... grad school... BOTM and other random bot projects. Nothing stops me! Although I can get slowed down.

I'm trying to make new tank tread styles right now, but I just found out the hard way that wheel gmf's HAVE to be oriented on the X-Y plane, no exceptions, you can't even rotate the TM_ROWs to fix it. So all that work making a high-poly oval tank track and now I gotta do it all over again >:[

You could try the M1 treads, which are shaped like an upside-down trapezoid(if you're not doing it already).

Off topic(again!)but to help with popups, mabe put a line in the middle of the xtenders to see where the connection points are?

That's a very good point actually.

Just think of the extender as a simple circle. Every time you rotate it 1 bit, it goes 10 degrees so in dsl all you need to do is make it turn 9 times. Sorta hard to explain in text.

Theyre sixtagons (Or whatever) soo... You could see one of the "Points" & Rotate the extender while keeping on eye on it...
Its hard with the Polycarbonate ones (the ones i use the most) though, Coz their color is not solid >_<

I made marked extenders for Backlash, if Click wants them I would be happy to share them around

the lines and clear enough to see up-close in the botlab but camoflague in the arena so they dont disrupt the look of your bot

Naryar · « **Reply #473 on:** December 08, 2009, 04:56:53 AM »

Marked extenders are for noobs.

lloopp D lloopp · « **Reply #474 on:** December 08, 2009, 09:33:15 AM »

Well everyone else seems to want them.

Naryar · « **Reply #475 on:** December 08, 2009, 09:37:22 AM »

Ever thought of building with the collision mesh on ?

I still stand my ground on my opinion: top notch builders doesn't need this trick.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #476 on:** December 08, 2009, 09:44:16 AM »

I think that they are just a method of time saving

my ones as seen in the backlash thread

the new range of extenders for Backlash

(Image removed from quote.)

all extenders are now marked with a camouflage line so they are easy to see up close in the bot lab but difficult to see out on the battle field meaning you get the advantages of the marked extender without loosing the cool realistic look of them

lloopp D lloopp · « **Reply #477 on:** December 08, 2009, 09:44:49 AM »

And I am not a top notch builder.

Is that a pun
hehe

How about a button to randomly generate AI opponents?
