Well, I don't know how to get Z-Teks in my stock bot, or to snapper load so I can save on extender and chassis space. It use DSA though.

This makes me wonder. Should we add more serious awards that are not just BOTM, GTMCS, or a joke award. Awards like a medal for winning a yearly vote or for reaching certain milestones, like hosting certain amounts of tournament, are good

Discussion / Re: What do you record RA2 with
« on: September 20, 2018, 12:17:06 AM »
Bandicam, since it has a very good recording performance, and using OBS on my laptop caused the output to be showed as different frames, rather than one smooth video, as my computer's hardware performance is not enough for that. The Quarterfinals of Robot Emperor is a proof of what I mean

Pulso would technically be a cruiserweight (for which the limit is 600kg), but Hammerstein is absurdly underweight. You should either bulk it up to cruiserweight, or shave some weight off and see if you can make it a middleweight instead.

Also, since you seem to be more interested in IRL-style bots than the actual Stock meta, you should check out the DSL total conversion in the Downloads section, which is more suited to those types of robots. (Hope I don't get shouted at for saying that...)
honestly if youre looking for realism i'd just go use dsl. stock's components are too limited to do anything fun with unless you're really good (like thyrus)

if you are interested in pursuing stock competitively, check out this link: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm
Talking about IRL building in DSL, it's also mandatory for you to use DSC's IRL Pack and Serge's RA2CF, just saying

Turn graphics to low.
Problem solved.

The absolute madman only went and fixed it, I was wondering what the reasoning behind running on low was.
I don't have the pack, but you have to generally use low when there is a very thin chassis part, that will happen when you use the Trov Glitch or model the thin part intentionally on CAD and then importing the CAD to OBJRA2. Same case with the 2.2 BioHazard rep

How about my DSL-S entry. I don't see it anywhere

We did! One of those was still usable, only had one cut in it. But we swapped it out anyhow.

DISCLAIMER: I am not, nor ever will be, a skilled stock unrealistic builder. This showcase is for robots made to look like something you would see at a real event. I do use DSL, and I do realize that basically every Stock bot is made to beat Starcore AI's and so on. Please, remember I do not play to build those. Thank you.

With that out of the way, let's get into my first robot on this showcase, Vendetta.

2 HP Z-Teks power the spinner and give it the illusion of a weapon chain. My only issues are the lack of a wedge or srimech, but neither of those fit well with the design. Overall I'm happy with the look and skin.
Pretty cool stock rep. You should enter those stock IRL bots in Banter Wars btw once they open a sign up for a new season

Online Battles / Re: Online match videos
« on: September 15, 2018, 11:39:44 PM »
these looked fun i should start using IF to have shot at entering one
I can try lending you my LW entry for Challenge Belt for you to test drive in an online match if you want

Also, cool battles. Will be better though if it's DSL and IRL

Custom Components Showcase / Re: Pay Tribute With Replicas
« on: September 15, 2018, 11:37:51 PM »
Some robots will be impossible to AI so instead Ill just use parsec with one of my friends probably.
You use Parsec. Wish you luck and hope that a DSL-IRL tourney that uses Parsec will happen in NA.

And cool reps. Though I wish the arm on Bronco is longer and the dragon head on SawBlaze more detailed. Also, are that reskinned panels on the Bronco rep?

I've decided to update my showcase! Be as critical (or complimentary) as you see fit. Sorry about the lazy-ish editing on the images, and SOON I will master the art of skinning the chassis/components.

Disprezzata is one of my most recent attempts at solving the issue of losing chassis durability at the cost of having a large spinning weapon (e.g. Nightmare). Sort of succeeds, but it has terrible control because it's blade easily hits the floor if it rocks backwards.

And here's my most recent Nightmare rip-off.

They both look pretty cool. Doesn't like how the drive motors can be seen with the bar configuration on the second bot though

I have made a decision. I will allow people to enter another second entry to fill these last three spots. Get creative
Looks like I can't enter unfortunately. IRL stuffs during and after mid test, and not making the MW version of OverChopper for this yet
Dont beat yourself down. You might have enough time to make an entry
I think the Signup may end once I finish with mid test. And even then, there are still other school related things to do

Your computer's slow enough while running Antweights, I'm not sure if having robots much heavier than that will be watchable
Maybe that's because he runs it on a modified BB arena

DSL TC Showcases / Re: Billy's DSL Showcase Build and Try
« on: September 12, 2018, 05:07:09 AM »
Made another bot. This time, it's a fix to HexaVortex, and I can finally make it work

My only gripe with that is the ground clearance, as I can't find a perfect combonation of wheels and casters while playing it safe, as in having the wheels really touch the ground and the casters not being raised up. Also the wrongly aligned skin too

Ironforge TC Showcases / Billy's Ironforge Build and Try
« on: September 08, 2018, 09:04:10 AM »
Welcome to my Ironforge showcase. Like with my Stock showcase, this will only showcase tourney, challenge, and BOTM bots. For my first bot, it's a spinner that can be moved with a servo. It's named Movercut, and it's a LW for Reier's Centauri rental, and challenge belt where it will be slightly modified. The design is meant to allow the driver to smack opponents by moving the spinner hen they are on the side, while having the wedge be on the same location. Unfortunately, at max speed, it becomes janky to drive due to physics, as the spinner jerks around. Also, one ballast is used on the bot. Armor, meanwhile, is 3mm alu

Stock Showcases / Billy's Stock Build and Try
« on: September 08, 2018, 08:27:12 AM »
Welcome to my stock showcase. Since I'm not a fan of stock, I will only post bots that are for tourneys, challenges, and BOTM's. So, here is my first stock HW, entered in Revolution 3, Overpop. It is a HW popup. Though I'm too lazy to improve on it. Will do once I get the motivation to do it, like another tourney.

Also, LW for this month's challenge belt will come soon

General Support / Re: dsl and robot wars mod
« on: September 06, 2018, 05:48:07 PM »
Is there a way to combine both of these mods so that is doesnt break on or the other? Is it even worth doing so balance wise? I know nothing about how to mod this game beyond creating textures lol so it might be a dumb question, just though it would be cool?
It would mean separating a lot of components and replacing them through bfe so the robots work on normal DSL. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, it's hard and will take a lot of effort even if you do.
There are guides on here though so if you're willing to do it, good luck!
Given in the tournament I ran before, Robot Emperor, someone tried to send an IRL bot with RWRA2 parts, and I didn't accept because I didn't have RWRA2 back then and it's OP, does that mean it's possible to move RWRA2 components, into DSL, but it's not as easy as just copy pasting component files
