Discussion / So...

« on: July 29, 2005, 06:12:26 AM »

I almost made one that actually worked... it was too weak to lift itself up.... but now I got ahold of this crusher servo motor, so I should able to do it.  :twisted:

I think I'll work on this before I get started on the arena map.  :wink:

Dude, I dunno about your computer, but putting in 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 tend to crash/freeze up my computer. It seem to be safe at 5000. So test it by changing the number (depend thereby how much weight it deals), so your bot doesn't act all freaky or just crash your computer.

Ah! thanks for the link, it seem to be working now... but still confusing. I'll figure out later...

I could make a remix of Battlebot and what not... but I wonder if it won't be any copyright issue?

Lol, that's not a problem, cause I already own 3DS Max Studio 4 (and Lightwave 3D as well).

I did some researching and found most useful site for the tools and tutorials.
Dummy's Robot Arena 2 Development Page

The only problem I ran into was the GMF export maxscript plugin.  :evil:

I guess what I can really do at this moment... is make some arena & part models without its GMF script.

...I dibs on the slam-camera models design! ...unless anyone got that scripting to work?

Heh, yeah it won't easy to mess with. I only ask about the tool before I go wasting my time looking for one, but meh... go figure.  :lol:

The thing is, I'd like have it customizable in the game than having to edit it on the outside. Thus, having something for the DSL v2 pack.



If I give up, I'll go make some sexy battle arenas.  :twisted:



Quick Edit: Anyone need concept/graphic artist?

The author (Vincent) of the thread had a good point with the camera. Anyone up for a slam-cam? And the chainsaw is already done

The chainsaw has been done!?
The Sawblade can be used as a wheel... but I wonder if chainsaw can do the same?

If it can... the programming method for tank threads should be very similar to the chainsaw without the damage properity.

and yes.. camera component would be awesome.... even more awesome if you can attach it to a motor, thus a spinning ACTION! Muahahhah!


Anyways... where can I get the tools to work with the python program?
I had experience with a lot of web-related scripting, I figured I might able get a hack at it.


PS: oh I know the servo motor was already there... but I ment one that doesn't need battery, only Air/Co2 pressure tanks... Unless youre talking about the Crusher Servo Motor?  I dunno, I'm not sure... I haven't get ahold of it.

In DSL v.1.1 with my "Gear V.5[pro]" bot, I get...

Best Match: 76931
Best Session: 2100
Best Single Hit:  (guessing around) 2500

I swear, I'm not lying. Gear V.5  is the best bot I ever built.  It can destory "Nightmare" bot within 5 seconds. Gotta love those perm motors.

you just gotta love those Perm motors, it can push a car up against the wall, over the red tools-drawer.  It gave my bot a ability to score total over 50,000 points damage in one match.  Don't believe me?   take a look at this pic.

   I love Perm Motors!

Heya,  I'm new here, but I played with DSL mod, here's what I think..

Likes:
 - More custom bots from tv shows
 - More parts
 - More levels
 - Better mp3s music
 - Better Testing Room in Workshop
 - Tougher Ai & Bots

Dislikes:  (seriously, don't hate me)
 - Bugs... a lot of bugs!
 - Lag gaps in Workshop & Repairs
 - Graphic Menu (sorry, It's the lack of same theme in each menus)
 - The grid on baseplate when putting parts on (too much lines)
 - Watching my bot get crushed by those big hammers, heheh
 - The Arena Pits (one of my bots can jump back out, but still lose by default... grr)
