I feel like frezal and playzooki are a bit too harsh here:
Too harsh? I took it easy on the kid.

Contrarian rebuttal time!!!

Feel free to give feedback to this below - I was just thinking that this site could do with a shot in the arm, and here's a few pretty obvious ways to do it.

1 - Don't lurk, get stuck in! Instead of just sitting back and browsing through the threads, really get into it and say whatever you've got to say about the topic.
Simply having more posts won't increase actual activity, but rather reduce it. If people feel the need to comment on every thread—regardless of whether or not they actually have something to say—it'll just create a bunch of noise. When I see a thread full of noise, I generally close the tab.

2 - Promote the site! If you know any robotics/gaming fans that might be into this sorta thing, get them involved!
Do this with caution. Back when RA2 was the hot new thing and Battlebots was still on Comedy Central, lots of people had their own robot combat sites. Every day, people would post on the official forums, AceUplink, B4B, RA-R, etc. and tell people, "Hey, go to my site!!!" This is annoying. Bring this place up only if it's relevant, or stick it in your signature.

3 - Set yourself post goals! Instead of just posting whenever, be aware of your posts, and set yourself a goal of how much you plan to post (say, 10 posts a day), and really strive to fill that quota.
Again, this encourages spammy garbage. One good post that actually stimulates a conversation is vastly superior to quota-filling nonsense.

4 - Get involved in tournaments! Nothing's better than seeing bots get ripped to shreds, so get into it and submit something, even if it's crap!
RA2 bots don't really get "ripped to shreds."

5 - Post often! Raises your voice in regards to whatever the thread is! If you've got something to say that's nothing to do with the thread, that's what the Playground's for.
Previously you said to post nothingness regardless of quality. Now you're advocating taking it to the Playground? You've conceded your argument before you even finished. Well done.

And there you go - 5 seps that you can take to help fan the flames of this site. Have fun!
Three of your five suggestions are exactly the same. Combine them and make this a Top 3 list. Top 5 lists certainly seem better than a Top 3, which is why you shouldn't have formatted it as a Top list. Psychologically, people like groups of three, so really all you had to do was format it in standard essay/paragraph format.


Do better.

I'm loving the DSL port. I only ever really played the first DSL, so it's interesting to see where it's gone.

at that point why not just use imgur
Blocked in some networks. It's nicer to have everything hosted on the same site, it's sad to go on old showcases and all their images are gone because they hosted on photobucket.
Has Photobucket started deleting images?

Tombstone looks so outdated

Go on, tell me more :)

This post is a lot funnier to me than it should be.  :dumb)
I'm imagining him revving up the Tombstone blade as he's saying that.

Okay, as a trial here is a font patch for the event repairs (a few parts of UI need patches but we'll test this first)

It contains a modified repairs.gib and an alias to quickly drop it in the right spot (Providing RA2 is in your applications folder)

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/0851RA2 Font Patch.zip
Nope. Still get the error and blank text. I wonder what the font is.

Yeah thats the main thing im thinking.. since 27 inch screens probably didn't exist at RA2's birth lol

Can you remember what bits had text issues? RA2 uses its own font in places but occasionally it requests a system font

(Image removed from quote.)

Unless the game is trying to locate the XP fonts folder in which case I might need to see if it will like using one of its own fonts instead..
In the events, when you get to the part where you need to do repairs, all of the damaged part names in the list are blank.

Okay thanks.. Ill look into it..

I only briefly tested full screen but seemed alright.. could be a screen size thing though, I tested it on a 13inch Macbook, Where as im assuming your iMac was 24 or 27 inch.

Font one is new though.. cant say I ever saw that error.. Im wondering if its an issue I avoided by having Microsoft Office on my Mac's (since that does bundle a reasonable amount of windows fonts)
Yeah, the fullscreen thing is probably something to do with having a 27" screen. I'll see if my MacBook Pro does the same thing. As for the font error, maybe I just need to install some Windows fonts. I haven't had Office on any of my current rigs.

No problem, glad to see it runs okay on other macs :)
Fullscreen seems to cause an issue where the game won't load upon quitting and restarting, and some of the text is missing. (Probably something to do with that font error that pops up.) Other than that, it runs great on my Late 2012 iMac. I'll try it out on my MacBook Pro eventually.
