some stock components were rebalanced to compete in DSL standards

mixing isn't a good thing

Mixed vs Stock AI = over powered

Mixed vs DSL AI = weaker then straight DSL

most if not all keep them both separate and play them separately

if you want to unhide the components you will need to decompile Components.cfz and open the text files and delete the line Hidden = 2 (this makes them only accessible through cheatbot2

I just read all the write ups and I must say I am verrrry disappointed in robot wars "corruption"

its hard to believe but it does kinda all piece together, guess that's what happens when the organization was based around entertainment and not the fighting itself

I still like robot wars but I think that was a bit of a low blow to the team... happy to see them win the world championship

I think a pusher like tornado was boring but Storm to was a fantastic robot and one of my favorites, the hang time it was launching others off the wall was amazing, also noted that it was the first rammer to get a robot oota

just going on a hunch here but perhaps the "boring tittle" hung over this robot lead to its loss in the grand final ??

its recommended that you install regular Robot arena 2 and then copy the game itself when you want to install other mods that way you can keep things like old bots safe in there own version of the game 

I have 20+ copies of the game on my computer :P

with the amount of work going into DSL 3 that's as close as your going to get to RA3 without making a whole new game from scratch

General Support / Re: How to make component transparent?

« on: December 03, 2009, 12:15:03 AM »

any will work ok with components just remember though dummy's wont decompile transparency values so if you set one then decompile it again it will be blank (so you have to keep adding it there every-time you decompile

dummys also will not do wheels for some reason ?

the transparency number is a percentage in decimal form for how much you want transparent

1 = 100%
0.5 = 50% (so you would be correct)

hope that helps

Real Robotics Discussion / Storm 2 Nearly Never Was..

« on: December 02, 2009, 11:10:47 PM »

I just did a bit of internet reading about and found that robot wars did not originally want storm 2.. yeah im not joking

robot wars didnt want robots with out weapons as they were considered boring ???

battlebots excepted them however but shortly after comedy central pulled the plug on the show

Storm 2 team applyied for the New Blood in robot wars but there was a mix up and the picture Robot Wars saw was storm 1 (a hydraulic crusher) so they were excepted in

when they arrived with storm 2 the team were almost turned around however they fortunately were allowed to enter

for series 7 they were told they could only enter if they had a weapon as storm 2 was too boring (seriously ?)





source: team storm's website http://www.teamstorm.com/storm2/newblood.htm

apparently the team are making a new robot

try just replacing the practice arena gmf with the combat zone ? it will load the player 1 start point from the GMF for the robot

all objects can be moved about in the GMF (first post)
