General Support / More Game Crashes yeah

« on: December 24, 2004, 09:38:41 PM »

If you have the downloaded version you dont need the patch.. there are a lot of different files in the UI directorys but in the DL version we provided all the needed files.
As far as why it's crashing thats odd if you playing the match that means the files are ok ans seems installed right.
any more clue's you can provide that maybe i can help figure it out ?

Lucy Foster (Lu-Tze) passed away Oct 3rd.
We will be making a little memorial for her here at DSL which should be up soon.
We found out Lucy was very sick nearing the end of DSL Beta 2 but she wanted it kept a secret and did not want us to fuss about it.
This was the main reason I hurried DSL out the door at the end. she only had weeks left and I wanted to make sure she got to see her work.. which she did .
She had a brain tumor which took her life before she got to get married.
The DSL team will miss her soo much..

the smaller lines on the chassis are to give you better percision. because they are smaller you can count exact lines instead of guessing if you are about in the center of a box.
Some txt's are crap.
Measure tool is easy to put on it will attach anywhere but i still use the chassis lines i find it easer.
I also have a hard time with drive motors keeping them exactl but i wonder if its not the parts.

how heavy is the weapon on your burst ? i noticed with real heavy weapons it can run out very fast.
i played the AI pack and i did not see the weak burst problem.

General Support / CRASH IN BOTLAB

« on: November 06, 2004, 10:15:57 AM »

There could be a couple of reasons you get this.
First off make sure you have V 1.2 of robot arena 2 before installing DSL.
you can get it at http://www.robotarena.com
Anoher reason could be because you downloaded the wrong version of DSL TC .. there are two versions , one for the CD bought game you would get at a Store with the box and all. and the other version is the downloaded version you buy online. For some reason files are different in the UI folder and we had to change all the file in the UI folders for each one.
Also make sure you are not installing DSL directly into your robot arena game because for some people there are read only files and the installer will not over write them. Extract to a temporary directory and then move all the file into your robot arena V1.2.

Follow the install instructions in the readme exactly and it will work fine. Don't try to fix the one you have installed it probally is too late . Delete it and start fresh.

General Support / EXTREME SLOWDOWN

« on: November 04, 2004, 10:46:26 PM »

there is a lot of different graphics loaded for the garage.. more than a normal arena.. that would gobble up your video memory quick.
I remember when i made it i had no more room on the texture page. the balls for those who know what i mean.

the only place we heard and noticed a problem of slow down was when you were fixing your bot in tourny section.
you mention the garage.. are other arenas slow ? the garage has no moving parts and should have the least lag.. also no bots in there with you to slow it down.

no it's not powered but that how we made it a hinge. it's made like a burst motor so you can adjust it and set limits.. it will work fine as hazard style skirts.

Discussion / Brainstorm!!!(Mountain climb plateau level)

« on: October 30, 2004, 12:08:40 AM »

that black arena that looks like a mountain in the middle started out as a race course but was not finished because of the lap counting problems.
For the race LT had an idea she wanted to do and that last lap would open a finish box which the first bot in would be in a safe zone and the whole arena would flip upside down and only the bot in the win zone would not fall off and it would kill the other bot.
