Today I remade my flamer signature so it doesn't look like hell to the 38 people using Black Rain. What joy.

Why 400kgs? I didn't see this mentioned before.
1. What actually happened
All components' weight have been cut in half. So the bot you build is exactly the same, just the number on screen is halved.
2. Why?
Because the havok engine functions a lot better at lower weight. Don't believe me? Download v0.3 and watch some AI battles to see the difference.
Oh, ok, so if I download the patch, I can still use the same bot. That's good news.
The only thing you have to change is the chassis armour - the armour values have been halved too but the armour is saved in the bot file so needs to be overwritten. EDIT: Playzooki and Tommy accepted. Thanks for the entries guys :)

It came in with the 0.3 patch which was released yesterday. Check out the mod thread and 123 explains.

Jaydee, you literally had to check back 1 page, or check the first post.

Here's a whole load of bots, lol. 1) RIP4 Entry, HW. 4 ballasts in the back  2) LW Popup  3) LW Hammer/Axe. I really like this. BFEd to be near 180degrees on the axe  4) Generic HW Bar HS  5) Pretty ugly IRL-style Shunt-type thing. Disappointed with how this came out. Again, axe is BFEd to near 180degrees.  6) Old generic HW Popup, was gonna enter this into RIP4

Yes, all the weight classes have been halved, but this is self enforced as the .exe can't be changed. All the components and chassis armour have been halved too.

SIGNUPS OPEN FOR
Building Rules
Bots are to be built in Ironforge v0.3.
Bots are to be in the Ironforge Heavyweight category, with a maximum weight of 400.0kg, although 4 ballasts can be added on top of this for no weight cost.
Bots are to be built to DSL-Style Standard Realism Rules (Not IRL - please ask if you don't understand Standard Realism)
Bots may not use any out of game editing such as BFE or AAM, including for long bot names.
Cheatbot2/custom components are banned.
Bots must show controlled movement and have at least 2 wheels/treads or a functioning walking equivalent.
Clusterbots/Multibots are allowed to a maximum of 2.
Tournament Guidelines
Entries are ONLY to be sent when the tournament is in the Signups phase. All entries out of these guidelines will be permanently disqualified.
There are an unlimited amount of slots.
Each person may enter 1 robots, except ty4er who may enter 2 if he chooses for winning RIP3
Signups will be open for 1 week only.
Bots will be AIed by me if no bindings are supplied, only to a level where the robot works. AI yourself if you can.
Entries cannot be updated. Once accepted, your entry is final.
If your entry is declined, you have a single chance to correct any discrepancies.
Battle Rules
Battles will be 2 minutes long
Battles will take place in the Containment Cube
Any robot that causes a match-changing havok gets 1 restart. Any more and the bot will be disqualified.
Any robot that shows uncontrolled movement for 30 in-game seconds or more will be disqualified.
All matches will be 1v1
I will enter and my entry is this:

Hah, I know that feeling - if 3 years makes you cringe, imagine 5.
Or worse, imagine how Serge feels.

Hey guys, another tournament idea here, and one I hope you'll enjoy.
- This is the second series of Minor Inconveniences.
-Will be held in the Minor Inconveniences Arena with hazards on. (I will reskin for Series II)
- 3 minute time limit - Judges decision decided on Points.
- It will be DSL 2.1 Standard Realistic (and only components from dsl 2.1 are allowed, not other component packs or AI parts)
-Weightclass AW/BW - (More on this later.)
-Can be any type of weapon
(As long as it doesn't break standard realistic rules)
-No Clusterbots allowed (Sorry! Just can't have clusters in Team battles.)
- No Cheatbot2, AI parts, Narmour, BFE, AAM, Thyrus Glitch, ZeroG, Text Editing or any other out-of-game modification are allowed, but if you want a specific line of code in the bindings, as long as it isn't ridiculous, I will allow it. NO GLITCHED PARTS ALLOWED.
-16 entrants and no wildcard
-One Havok Restart
-Once your bot is sent, you will not be allowed to modify it in any way, so be sure to be completely finished before sending them. Also note that your bot cannot be entered until I have received and accepted it.
-I won't be competing.
-I will be recording battles using Fraps.
-My AIing is limited, so I would prefer that you AI your bots yourself, but if you REALLY cannot AI then I can for you. (Just don't whine like a Boop if something doesn't go your way.)
-Here's the general Idea:
-You enter a team of an AW and a BW. Then there will be a simple bracket, and Team Battles (Knockout Elimination) (Final has no time limit)
Missing anything? Any Improvements? Let me know.
This is now a signups thread and the rules above may not change. You have 3 months :)

Chicken, I don't think you should be reacting like that when you said videos would be 'in a few days' 10 days ago, just accept it :P

I know your user folder is one some people have used which may be worth a go.
Also, you say you tried both DSL and the game, does that mean you tried both the DSL ready-to-go .rar and the Robot Arena 2 v1.4 rar?

Try extracting it to some different locations maybe?

Unless you have major influence over governments and massive corporations, I don't think there's any way you can stop it.
