I am still  confused about this.Is it a users project or Atari project ?
My thoughts on the game is simple keep the game as it was. It was a great game but add a lot more to it.Better res would be nice and the ability to make your own parts in the game.the same as you would put together a bot you would make your own parts.
The ability to make your own arena's in the game.
in game painting of chassis and parts.(import grafix and have a in game paint prog to really enhance the look.)
Allow the chassis more flexibility in shape and add multi layering.
That in my opinion would be top of the list.then add better physics to allow chain driven motors that have to be put together as in real life to work.Let the user design everything.Mind you stock parts for those that are not into making things.
right now the engine will only allow very basic poly shapes anything complicated would slow the game to a crawl this needs to be fixed.The same goes for arenas we made some nice things that would not work in the game because of its complexity.
Money in the game can be good but not for buying parts but to open new options.every tourny match won earns you cash.Open further enhancements and parts with your money.
guns and the likes goes away from battle bots and will kill any real bot makers away which is what this game is all about.

I think it's a great idea madiaba and nice to meet you ACAMS has been saying a lot of nice things about you.I have seen some of the amazing things you did namely with the hover engine and cannon.
Do keep me informed on this new project as it may be something i would help with in the 3D department.
Engine from scratch is the key using what exists we cross the copyright line.

I have had the opportunity to visit the RA2 form before it went down and there and there are some amazing things being done.of course the beetle Bro's have done some amazing things which i had the opportunity of knowing them way back and even helping out a bit.
but many new moders doing things as well.
To share with you some of the past it was probably different in some ways and the same as for the new people .. when we started dummy had come up with a way to make new parts and even made an exporter but left the sceen soon after to work on his own games from there we had something to work with but no one knew how to go from there.then a couple of people got on the band wagon namely AW and Ice.but things were different back then how to make things was a well guarded secrete and not shared much so you were on your own.Ice came out with a part here and there which he shared and AW put a team together and put out a nice mod mod changing a lot of things and adding some real bots to the mix.this is where i started.I started by making a few parts and continued until i had enough to put out a full pack not just a part or two but a pack that had maybe 20 or more parts to add to your game.
then slider came along and figured out how to make a motor.with his help I was able to make many motors and came out with the biggest pack ever which was darkpack2 with many motors and many new parts with some unique ability's.the only thing left to crack was the Tires they were the hardest thing to make and i am sure they still are.making the tire was easy making it not slide was the kicker.Our girl yes i said girl LuTuz figured it out and made the first wheel which i quickly found out how and came out with a Tire pack.
now that we had every part possible we could make it was time to take the game to a whole new level and bring in the best moders all together and make DSL.
DSL went way beyond anything we could imagine with everything for the time we could mod would be.We left the engine alone for copyright reasons but needless to say we had done some cute things in there also that would have been cool.
DSL even though has there names to it is really about 20 peoples talents this brought everyone together even mortal enemy's ;)
Starcore became our AI expert and LuTuz our Arena expert I was a jack of all trades doing parts arenas sounds menu's garage ect... AW was a great help in arenas and parts also and the list goes on on on ACAMS,Goose,Slider,HackerX just to name a few.
After DSL we lost LuTuz then not long after starcore left. Then the Beetle Bro's came on the sceen and DSL2 came along.
Thats the past... you know the present ;)

Hi to all the old members i had so much fun with way back and hi to all the newer ones.
it's nice to see the game is still kicking after so long.
The sweetness of RA2 was the ability to change it and it has evolved nicely.
Cudos to the team that did DSL 2 I love some of the new things.
It's Amazing to come back after a couple of years and see the cool new bots people have put together.Makes me wish i was still around.. Or better yet makes me wish there was a new RA3 out to play with.

Keep on Mod'n

well for starter darkrat worked at burger king...thats all i know besides acams and starcore are about the same age =P


lol I owned a burger King .
But thats not where I learned anything about computers.I was a coin operator for 15 years (Video / Pinball / Pooltables) I was the lead technition for those games. I started well over 20 years ago on computers, I have a couple of games programed under my belt along with other mod's for games in the past.
As for starcore he also has a long bacground in computers and works for a computer company. ACAMS also owns his own business in auto motive repair so he has all the motor knowledge.
Goose is a post secondary student and has very good knoledge of computers.
For ages Starcore/ACAMS/Myself are all in our late 30's and higher.Goose is the young guy ;)

I just wanted to set things straight before you all went and worked at Burger king to get better knowledge on computers . (LOL)

I can't remember off the top of my head . I remember i found it while browsing the code in the .exe I think i had to change a line in the cfg file.
Goose may remember I told him about it.

Actually if you have all the screens correct and everything you have the right version.
I have seen many post this same problem and always assumed it was the wrong version but to tell you the truth it did it to me once.
everything works 100% all parts/menu's/bot's but if you try to make a new team it craps out.If i am not mistaking you can even make the new team but you cant make new bots in it.
In the end I just reinstalled and it was ok but why it did that i have no idea.
Since i put together all the new menu's I know every file in the UI and what they do and it's not a wrong version prob.
Since i just reinstalled i never did find out why it did that :(

well if he tried both v ersion i hope he did a fresh install each time because if he put the wrong one in the tried the right one in the same game it's still screwed up. a Freash install needs to be done EVERY time you try again.

You need 3d Max 4.2 or 5.X.
Then you need to grab one of the two exporters.
Then you need to spend a lot of time tinkering.
