Discussion / Functional Components: Detachables, Powered Steering Units

« on: July 09, 2005, 11:05:06 AM »

Detachables! Push a button, the arm of a robot breaks off.
The piece may small as an extender or maybe as large as a motor.
What is the point? Make obstacles for your opponent? Break off that arm before your opponent uses it to his advantage? Purge your robot in-game of broken fighting weapons?
What use would an extender be without that motor and axe on it?

Powered steering unit: It was an odd thing to have, and it isn't completely useless. In fact, maybe we could dump the whole powered part and just make it a steering unit. That way, we could attach motors onto it instead of wheels.

I have no idea of how the game works, so I am not positively sure these ideas are possible.  :)

Discussion / Shall I advertise?

Shall I advertise DSL and Robot Arena 2 in my 3D Half-Life 2 maps?

I could generate some new players, but I don't want our literacy rate to drop to 5%...

DSL TC Showcases / Mars Rover Series

« on: December 13, 2004, 08:16:47 PM »

Introducing
Mars Rover IV*
*Mars Rovers I-IIV were named 1-3, but that is beside the point that they were a large failure.

That's right!
Mars Rovers 1-3 were complete failures as compared to this success!
Through the use of spring technology and monkey wrench incorporated* (see img), this new rover features advanced terrain hugging technology. Well...it's not that advanced.
W/E, read the craptions and tell me what ya' think.[/b]

General Support / Crash on "New Team"

« on: October 19, 2004, 07:43:22 PM »

No teams appear after I install it.
When I install, I:
Rename my old folder to ROBOT ARENA 2 ACTUAL
Run the AUTORUN Uninstall (Does Nothing)
Install RA2 to a folder named DSL
Run the patch (It does install to the new DSL folder)
Run the DSL 1.00 program
Copy all files from the DSLTEMP folder to the DSL folder overwriting everything
*DOES NOT WORK AFTER THIS POINT*
Run the DSL 1.20 patch directly to the DSL folder
Also, there are bot files in Team0 folder, they do not show up.
I think the teams.txt file is corrupt.
Please post a clean teams.txt file and if possible, a clean Team0 folder or your suggestions.
(Oh yeah, and I did it three times... :) )
