Yes, this should be...interesting at the very least, if done properly (which ~~i'm sure~~ I know it will be) this could be great actually.

Just a question: Will the DSL Bars be made more damaging so that they work more like in real life? If so, you should make it so the end attachmant points are gone and they have no normals so they function more like real life too.

If he did that. it's probably be better to just make a different, but similair, component for it, as DSL bars are usefull as extenders anyway, so it'd be a shame to see them go.

They were meant to be weapons though I remind you. They were used for extenders because of their low damage capability and many attachment points.

Ah, I did not know that, it'd still be a good idea to have a similair substitute for them though.

Normals modification codename:

Just the tip, just for a second, just to see how it feels. :P

I kid, I kid. Great work so far Click, looking forward to it.

Normals idea is awesome.

However, to make it more realistic, there should be some damage from hitting the side of a weapon. I mean, if you imagine an iron spike in real life, smacking someone with the side of it will still hurt even if it doesn't do as much damage as stabbing them with it.

So won't smacking someone with a 140cm long hunk of steel, or even hitting them with an ETek motor.

Anything that makes it so a hammer bot has a decent chance at winning a tourney is good in my book.

yep. make everything do damage! (perhaps the extenders are a softer material (thus much less damage) than the weapons, due to being relatively MUCH lighter?)

EXACTLY.

DSL bars will most likely have higher DP. I will keep the attach points though.

Normals, on my razors ?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Does it really matter? Popups are fine with normal weapons, you build a few of those yourself. It's every other bot type that's going to get nerfed hard.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #854 on:** January 31, 2011, 12:10:43 PM »

It'll make it more interesting than spamming with razors.

IDK what I would use for my popups then...
Beater Bars? Iron Spikes? Maybe 3/4 Vlad Spikes..?
Something that can hit with the whole front part but something that hits with just the tip? Nahh, It probs wont even touch the other bot, I always hit them with the "Body" or the Razors :P

BEAR CRAWS!!!!!

It's pretty good when all components has normal. With huge flat surface that deals damage, stacking Bear Claws functions just the same way as a razor popup would. Would be even better if it's a pure piercing weapon.

Stagfish · « **Reply #858 on:** January 31, 2011, 01:26:56 PM »

Yes!

DSL popups shall finally die!
