Discussion / DSL 2.0 Sneak Peeks!

W00t new Ripblade!  I must say, this is amazing.  I've been into Robot Arena for a long time now (back in the days of Robot Arena 1) and I have never seen anything like this.  Good job guys.

I like the new Boxer and Emergency.  I wonder what kind of insane burst motors are powering those flippers on CE.

Cool.  It would be neat if you could skin those armor plates so the robots would look nicer, but good job overall.  Can't wait till' the release!

General Support / Ronin Causing Lag
« on: September 14, 2005, 08:11:22 PM »
Not a major problem, just a bug I guess, but every time I fight Ronin, the game lags.  It doesn't matter what arena I'm in, it lags.  I notice Ronin uses a unique treaded drive train design.  Weather this has anything to do with the problem or not, I don't know.  Maybe it's just my computer.  I'm not demanding it be fixed, seeing as I don't mind too much, but an explanation would be nice.  Thanks.

Discussion / Ideas
« on: September 10, 2005, 12:24:07 PM »
I hope it's not too late to submit some ideas for DSL 2.0

AI Ideas:

Afterthought (BB)
Mouser Mecha Cat Bot (BB)
Deadblow (BB)
Joker (RW)
Juggerbot (Robotica)
Tentomushi (BB)
Towering Inferno (BB)
Black Hole (RW)
Jawbreaker (Robotica)
QUAD the Crusher (BB)
Gammatron (BB)
Tripulta Raptor (BB)
DooAll (BB)
Replace El Deablo with EL Deablo Grande
Bring back some old Robot Arena 1 AI bots

Arena Ideas:

Robotica Fight to the Finish Arena
More Table Top arenas in general
RA2 Tech Demo Arena
More Obstacle Courses
Bring back some old arenas from Robot Arena 1

Component Ideas:

Slam Cam!
More armor
 

Other:

Put Battle Bots 2.0 Arena under custom (that thing lags so much it isn't funny)
Split screen for using the same key board
No team limit in the bot lab
Make the announcer talk during the match

I'll add more later.  Half of what I said is probably impossible to make so, yeah.

Nice replica.

Question: If you take out some of the current AI bots, will we still be able to use the old ones in the team HQ?

As for other bots using it, you might just see one... this Friday :wink:

I'm betting it's the new Jackpot.

EDIT: Is Dark Rat even aware of this?

Discussion / What do you like/dislike about DSL!
« on: September 05, 2005, 04:14:53 PM »
W00t!  I just got DSL working on my computer.

I like:

The new arenas.  Blade arena and Robot Wars arenas are fun and the obstacle course is mind blowing.
New components (but it would be nice to have more)
New menus

I dislike:

A good majority of the AI bots are either flippers or spinners.  It would be nice to have more hammers and CO2 ram bots.
There are still only four types of armor.
You can still only place 15 points on the grid when designing a chassis.

That's all so far seeing as I have just been playing DSL for a day.

Oops.  Forgot to mention, the CD was in and the patch is not yet installed.

General Support / Patch Error

My game is already under "C:\Program Files\Infogrames\Robot Arena 2".

What will happen if I install DSL without the patch?

General Support / Patch Error

Hello all.  I am about to install DSL 1.0, but first I need the RA2v1.2 patch installed.  When I try extracting the patch, I get the error seen in the attatched image.  I am using a CD version.  Thanks.
