Time for a little update.

First off, the new NPC-T64's.  Most of us are probably used to putting them halfway outside the chassis, but if you think about it, that makes absolutely no sense.  So in DSL3, the NPC-T64's will collide just like any other motor.



I also added more attach points to the sides of the motor, so there's no more messing around with Left, Right, and Standard NPC's.  Just regular and Fast.

But that's not all!

Are you tired of dealing with those big, heavy, boxy, stock baseplate anchors?  Obviously you are, if the prevalence of short multi-extenders is any indication.  That should change in DSL3.



The new baseplate anchors are half size, 1 kg, and have hexagonal collision mesh instead of square.

For some reason, you can also stack a near-infinite number of them in one spot.  They collide with other components just fine, but the new baseplate anchors almost never collide with each other.  Just look at that mob in the screenshot and you'll see what I mean.

While it would be unrealistic to stack 10 baseplate anchors and then stack 10 spikes in one spot, I figure stacking several baseplate anchors that are pointing in different directions is perfectly realistic and a useful thing to be able to do.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

awesome work click, sooo good, the side attachment points on the NPC's are genius, I was going to ask about that as the attachment points on the left and right NPC's were not symmetrical  

the mini base plate anchors also genius and should open up loads of new options

I haven't been around for a while [had to wipe my Hard Drive a while ago, I have backups of my RA2 files but I haven't reinstalled everything yet] but the new update looks good.

Nice updates, they will definitely make things more realistic. The mini baseplate anchor looks like the one made by AlienTech but the new collision mesh is a major plus...

I don't mean to be a pest, but would be possible to have a Cassius II replica built to fill that gap in Team RA2? Or will there be another robot made/placed there?

haha. good one triton.
but yea Golden fox ive just finished viewing all the pages on this thread and you must have asked that about 8 to 14 times.

i know you want to have that replica but you cant keep bothering click about that replica as hes already mentioned that hes not making any more reps the now and if he is it will probably be lightweights because theres loads of heavies.
i would like cassuis 2 also but ill just have to do without it unless i make it myself.

@click : your doing an amzing job on DSL 3 and im sure it will be awesome once its out.

RA2 isn't open-source, we don't have the code.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

I'm so sorry, Everyone. I don't mean to annoy you. I won't ask again, I promise :-(

EDIT: In fact, looking back at it, it reminds me a little of that "Simpsons" episode where they go to Mt. Splashmore!

"Will you take us to Mt. Splashmore?"
"No"
"Will you take us to Mt. Splashmore?"
"No"
"Will you take us to Mt. Splashmore?"
"No"
ETC.
