DSL TC Showcases / Fyshcase: DSL Fumbling

« on: June 07, 2014, 08:40:32 PM »

Been lurking for a while trying to gather information on how to make a robot look good.
If you expect effective, deadly robots to be posted here then you will be disappointed.



I couldn't fit the snapper in the chassis. Much to full in there.
The self-righting mechanism includes a "That Darn Dustpan" motor bracket for looks.

Surprisingly, the Bob Flap wedge is more effective than I thought.

General Support / Skinning Crash

« on: June 07, 2014, 06:59:07 PM »

I looked for a fix but couldn't find one. Maybe I didn't look hard enough but I couldn't for the life of me locate a solution.

I attempted to import a texture for my robot in the paintshop window and it crashed immediately.

File type: .bmp
Size: 256 x 256
Program: Paint.NET

Not sure if there is anything pertinent that I missed.

Was hoping to submit a showcase today, but want to at least skin the thing. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks in advance.

General Support / Arena Crash

« on: April 09, 2014, 03:19:38 PM »

I've had this problem before and I remember seeing a fix somewhere, but can't remember the details.

I use the download version of DSL, no extra mods added [at the time].

The Compressor Arena and the Ocean Platform Arena crash the game entirely for me. There could be others that do the same, but I'm not entirely sure. I haven't played every arena.

Thanks in advance for a solution or if there is none at all.

General Support / Multiple Snowplows Crash

« on: April 01, 2014, 08:10:47 PM »

DSL didn't seem to like that I used 6 snowplows for armour and seemed to create a really weird looking graphical crash where it would phase from the game [a frozen screen] to my computer's desktop.

[shame too. I thought I finally had a winning robot.]

Anyone try the same thing and get the same occurrence or is it just me?
