Well actually I'm working on rebalancing stuff at the moment so there's not a lot to show.

Should have a new saw blade to show off pretty soon though, thanks to Trovaner.

Take if from me, the last thing you want to see is a bunch of "new unread posts" that are just the same question that got annoying from day 1.

I think the worst is still that the actual release doesn't have anywhere near as much "new unread posts". Makes you question why you even bother making the whole thing.

Razer looks really cool, but he seems a bit to big to me. Also I think it would be REALLY cool if you could macke the self righting mecanisim on Razer. Nice job though

Can you maybe include the robot wars arena but can you make the starting zones patrol zones which, if you choose the house robot for an opponent, there will be a different house bot? If not don't criticize me.

We can't make house bots.

Yes you can, they did it in WRL1.

Other than that, maybe there could be more realistic motors:

The AstroFlights are (In game) slightly more powerful than the Copals, but in real life the Astroflight motor is about as big (And powerful) as the short Magmotor(There called Ampflow motors now BTW)

The Ampflow motors are no where as powerful in game as in real life, a 6 Hp motor should not be slower that a motor that barely breaks 1 Hp.

I know there are balance reasons for the motor values, but for a mod that supposed to be as close to the real thing as possible, shouldn't the motors be close to their real life counterparts?

Yeah I agree. It would be awsome if we could add all the house bots in. GO MATILDA!

matilda is already in DSL 2

There is in DSL 2.1 currently: Matilda, Growler and Sir Killalot. Those are the only ones in it.

It actually wouldn't be too difficult to make 'housebots' inside of the arena.gmf. The hardest part would be assembling all the components in their proper places (by adjusting their coordinates). The coding itself for the patrol zones would be especially easy to implement.

Click, Just take your time at this. Dont feel rushed cause if you get rushed, sure the game will be done quicker but the game quality wont be as good. I say you should take your time. Oh and a couple suggestions. Please add in more replicas. The replicas from DSL TC are good. Add more! Can you update us on how its going.

Thyrus · « **Reply #972 on:** May 09, 2011, 02:32:53 PM »

have you read any post in this thread?

Thanks to Trovaner for pulling the raw mesh out of the RA2 tech demo arena. After a bit of resizing, reskinning, and making txt files, we now have a saw blade with real teeth. About time, I say. Once you see this, you'll never want to go back to that .tga saw blade with the teeth facing different directions depending on which side you look at.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #975 on:** May 14, 2011, 08:56:02 PM »

Looks nice. Itll be cool being able to make sparks

JoeBlo · « **Reply #977 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:29:01 PM »

Nice work..

Its early in the morning.. RA2 tech demo arena? anyone care to explain?

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #978 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:32:08 PM »

The tech demo was a kind of mini prototype RA2 they released before the ~~finished game came out~~ unfinished game was rushed out the door. I never got the tech demo, so I didn't know about it, but apparently it has a special arena with that saw blade in it.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #979 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:59:07 PM »

Odd that the tech demo had better sawblades then the final version? :P

Anyway so as to stay on topic

If anyone has further pics and/or info about the RA2 tech demo please pm me so or start a topic in general discussion
