Title: what do i need to be entirely up to date with dsl 2.2
Post by: toAst on July 18, 2017, 09:01:17 PM: i see there are new extender colors and all sorts of other nifty sh** now as im browsing the showcases around here. i don't remember any of these being around when i last had a computer a few months ago. is 2.2 the most widely used current version right now? is this what i want to be playing if i want to enter a tournament of some sort? what add-ons are allowed and what would you consider necessary to be completely 'with the times' as it is as far as robot arena 2 is concerned?

let me know!!!

thanks!!!!!! :beer:

Maybe throw Badnik's disc cover pack and Mr AS's DSL rebalance in there too, even though the former hasn't been used in a tournament as yet AFAIK and the latter has only been used a couple of times but is picking up steam.

Pack 1 (extenders)

Pack 2 (armor panels)

Pack 3 (new colours and discs/wedges)
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=367

I would also recommend using sergepatcher; this allows you to build beyond the rule of 7, as well as allowing components to intersect, and to attach stuff where it normally shouldn't fit. These options are all toggleable.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that patch died a death.

The rebalance patch is just as bad as Click's balancing considering it still uses a blanket formula for balancing.

The rebalance patch mends a large majority of DSL 2.2's balancing issues. If you want to go through each individual component and balance it by size, number of APs, etc, go right ahead.
