Site News and Feedback / Cannot interact with forum?
« on: July 15, 2018, 10:37:11 PM »
Hello! Been a while since I've been here and I tried downloading DSL 2.3 and I noticed something weird: The forum seems to glitch out very often, rendering posts unable to be interacted with. I can't click links, open spoilers, or even select the text. Certain buttons work while others don't at all and others seem to be offset/require oddly accurate clicking as well.

Here's a small webm of what it looks like: https://gfycat.com/ShySpecificAntipodesgreenparakeet.
I'm trying to click on the link, spoiler, and general buttons as well as select text but many of those things don't seem to be working properly.

Is this a known issue or happening to anyone else?

Edit: Interestingly enough everything seems fine in this post.

Edit 2: After a bit more testing it seems like the forum is interactable for less than a second after I load into a thread (or at least, if I hover over a link fast enough it does underline and allow me to click it) but it very quickly goes back to practically just being an image of the forum.

Custom Components Showcase / LiNcKz' Retooled Showcase
« on: September 30, 2016, 10:05:23 PM »
So Retooled is a thing now. Look cool but I can't say I'm enjoying the lack of motors (especially how weapon ones can't be attached to the chassis) or wheels, but I'm definitely loving the anchor's versatility. What used to take a ton of trial and error before now has all options in one. 10/10.

Anyways, here's what I managed to cook up for the GTM tournament:


If the wedge doesn't work, of course, the whole thing is pretty useless. I did make the front armor/chassis wedge a spike strip so that if my wedge fails at catching anything at all perhaps opponents will jam theirs into my spike strips enough for their own to break off. The extreme weight in the back makes it so it almost incapacitates itself when driving backwards so I ended up opting for this extremely inelegant solution to fix that:


Halfway through I actually thought of giving up on the wedge and just making a sort of frontal spinner pointing slightly down so I mess up anything that gets under me but I pretty much ran out of time since I didn't realize the last day to submit was today. Next time I guess!

Discussion / Given RA3's state this is what I think we should do
« on: May 26, 2016, 02:38:36 PM »
Not all of us have played the game but we all understand the horrible state it finds itself in. However, I think we should not dismiss the game as trash and just continue with hour lives. This is our chance to help create the RA3 some of us have been waiting for for over 5 years, let's use it.

First, I urge you to go to this lovely Bug Report Thread that Badger made for us and report any bugs you find: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=19008.0
Post the bugs you've found (such as being able to build completely out of the chassis and such) there to help the developers tackle these bugs.

Second, I encourage you to give your feedback on the official feedback thread: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=19013.0
Give your feedback on how systems work, physics, items, etc. but try to stay civil and most importantly, give the developers pointers on how they could fix the problems. I'm sure you can come up with ideas on how something could be done better, and who knows, maybe the developers agree!
I'd also like to encourage to try to be constructive when leaving feedback on the official Steam page. RA3 is not just for us, its for everyone, so try to stay objective when pointing out the problems for the public to see. Don't just bash the game!

Third, Steam offers refunds for games if you've got less than 2 hours of play time. Instructions here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6695-QIKM-7966
If you wish to do that then go ahead and put some pressure for the devs to fix the problems before you "buy into it" again. Keep in mind that this hurts them financially, which could be a bad thing if they are truly committed to fixing the problems. But hey, I just thought you'd like to know if you truly believe this is a cash grab. If you want to vote with your wallet, go ahead. If you wish to remain supporting the developers financially, you're just as right too. You can provide bug reports and other feedback in the threads above if you choose to support the devs regardless :)

If we provide our feedback and the developers don't care and don't fix anything, we simply lost some of our time. If they fix stuff we report then we got ourselves a true RA3. The possible benefits vastly outweigh the possible loss.

Discussion / RA3 Feedback Thread
« on: May 26, 2016, 02:38:31 PM »
Given Badger's Bug Report thread, I think it is useful that we also provide feedback on non-bugs.
This thread is for letting the developers know what you think is good, what needs improvement, what is missing, etc. in an organized manner.
I urge you to exercise constraint when posting here. Try to articulate what you mean to say in an objective manner instead of giving unhelpful feedback such as "Chassis making system is trash" with no description as to why, how to fix it, or anything.

Try to follow the following format but feel free to add more things if you wish.

Feedback area: (Chassis making, item placement, online, etc.)
Game Version: (Steam > Properties > Local Files > Current Content BuildID)
Reported On: (Date)
Feedback description:
Recommended fix:
Priority:

Let's try to be helpful. If the devs truly care about the game and us, they'll listen. If they don't then hey... We just go back to RA2, right? We got nothing to lose other than a little bit of time.


edit: Appreciate the formality here. Please focus all feedback to the following thread https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=19013.msg701887#msg701887 I've borrowed some stuff from here because it's good, we're just trying to make this as official as possible to hopefully help promote constructive criticism. -Kill343

Chatterbox / Biology experiment
« on: February 11, 2012, 04:15:06 PM »
Hey guys, I have been doing an experiment for my Biology class lately.


It consists of drinking ONLY one kind of beverage for 3 days & Measure body status (Temp, Pulse, Heartbeat, Etc) and also test performance in certain excersises. (Running speed, Memory, Endurance, Etc)
The experiment goes as follows:

Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking water
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking water (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking sprite
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking sprite (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking coffee
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking coffee (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking milk
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking milk (For 3 days)
3 Days drinking normally
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things BEFORE drinking juice
Measure stuff & Test performance in different things AFTER drinking juice (For 3 days)
Make essay
(Hypothesis, Conclusion of what drink does what, What I measured, What I used to measure those things, What I tested, What I used to test those things, Diagrams showing the results, Comparition of the results)

Im going to compare all the drinks to water & Also compare all the BEFORE-AFTER results. But I ran into some trouble: I need a hypothesis.
I tried googling what the effects are of each drink but I couldent find any studies/experiments were I can find this information.
I found 2 things that are kinda close: Effects of coffee & Effects of soft drinks

Anybody knows where to find the rest (& better versions of the ones I found)? I would really appreciate it if you could find any. Ive bee searching for hours now but nothing :SSS

Discussion / DSL 2.5
« on: February 07, 2012, 01:21:03 PM »
Hey guys, Before you all start freakking out no... Im not suggesting a new complete mod. I just wanna suggest a "Fix" of DSL so to speak :P

So we all know that DSL has some "rules of building":
The only batteries worth your time are ants (And battlepacks a lil bit)
Ram plate & The widerr ram plate are useless

Anyways, I was shuffling through the components & Showcases & I noticed alotof things are useless...
Some have normals, Others lie about their real strength & So on...
Look at this illustration for example:

Dont even get me started on the wheels, All I ever use is Technos & Vlad's, Sometimes Technodestructo's (But theyre huge). Some more are also used by other members, But most wheels are NEVER EVER used.

I might be (And probz am) wrong in a few of those things but its mostly true. My suggestion? We need to "Fix" those components to add more variety in the building. (Balance the game)
For example:
* The skirt hinges were fixed by Joe with his narmour be gone patch...Everyone is using it now.
* The BSGs horrible mesh was fixed by Nar AI, IDK how many people are using it but my love for Naryar increased to 202749% Coz of it<3

My suggestions is to do something like this with ALL the components. We as a community decide how things can be balanced. (Veteran players can help alot with this)

For example, I remember building a bot with this hammer:

I was told it had normals so it sucked...


Well, Its THIS kind of problem we could fix. And by doing so we would add alot of variety in bot building...
Instead of everyone spamming razors & Beater bars we might see these hammers being used. If the axes were balanced we would see bots with axes (Seriously, Axes are non existant in RA2)
We could also fix the armors, Everyone knows that using Steel (And Aluminium kinda) is retarded... That can be fixed.

So, What do you guys say? Should we revision DSL 2.1?
There wont be an addition of components or replicas/whatever... Simply just revision the current components & Maayybbeee add some if the community wants to do so.
We could also remake the textures, Coz cmon, The textures are all pixelated & Compared to today's graphics the game looks like crap. Textures would be a nice addition too.
A pic to prove my texture point:

Discussion / Anything new? :3
« on: January 26, 2012, 06:10:47 PM »
Hey guys, Its been pretty long since I last visited this forum!! ;D

Anyways, Im kinda getting interested in RA2 again & Im wondering if theres any new stuff going on? (Mods or whatever)
Im probz gonna get back into building my popups & Stuff, But I fear the same thing that has happened twice will happen again & Then Ill disappear again :P

So yeah, Anything new RA2 related? :3

Off-Topic Discussion / Making a Flash Website
« on: July 04, 2011, 10:40:41 PM »
Hey guys, Im in the procress of learning Flash Webdesign.
Currently I have JUST finished the Design of the website itself & Im putting it together in Flash :D


Its all done 100% by me :D (Even all the pics in the 2nd pic... Just putting my work there :D)
Here's a pic of how the website itself will be:

(The 2 red squares are gonna be buttons Imma make soon)

When you enter the site you never really leave that "page" to enter the subpages (Like this forum... See the /forums/BLAHBLAH? Well, That wont happen there.
I just made all the sections come up in the first & only page just coz I WANTED TO OKAY? D:

Soyeah, The first pic shows the background & buttons & Stuff & The second shows you when you are in a page (Currenly Im on the portfolio one)
So its just a smoke looking thingy that highlights the area youre on.

Anyways, Nothing of the website is done yet, The Portfolio section would have a slider to go to the next page of pics (Coz nto all fit in the area) and once you click a pic itll go bigger (Almsot all the screen) & Dim the background ofcourse :3

The Home & About pages are just gonna be text... And the contact section is gonna be a genetic contact thingy were you can put your email, Name & Your hatemail :D

[error]This site will not be published, Im just elarning webdesign & I want you guys; opinion on how the page looks & What you think about the way that its gonna be :3
Ill upload the .swf once its all finished.[/error]

[info]I do need some help though so if anyone knows about ActionScript 3.0 & You think you can help me I would appreciate it so much I might make a Your name!<3 Topic :D[/info]

Discussion / Not just another "Lets make RA3!" topic
« on: May 01, 2011, 04:26:28 AM »
OR IS IT!?!?
Well, Kinda is :P

Ive been noticing alot of games lately that have been completely modded into totally different games & I just thought about it: Would it be posible to make a Robot game out of this?
You might say its too hard, But some people have done some very complex stuff with some games :P


We just need people that are capable of doing it for pure lvoe for Robot Combat :D
Im not talking about making our own game, But making our own (Huge) mod on some other stuff...


For example, Look at all the Source Mod thingies (Not saying to make it on the Source Engine, Just giving examples)
Heck, Even using Garry's mod we could create something RA-ish xP


Just sayin, It is possible, We just need to dedicate ourselevs & stop being so damn lazy (A bit of an irony coz Im saying it) :3


id Tech 4's source code is being released on September this year :P


Maybe IDK what Im talking about anyways... Give your toughts :D

Discussion / Robot Design RAAGGEEE!!! >:C
« on: April 17, 2011, 05:26:17 PM »
So, Im back again after some (Not missed at all) inactiveness ;D
And yeah, Im trying to build another popup & I just LOVE making the chassis as small as possible, Just literally squishing everything as much as possible...


But Im hacing a bit of trouble here, Most of you would know that when in Robot Design you cant put the line thingies too close to eachother (They have to be exactly 1 block away, ATLEAST)


But is there ANY way to bypass this? its seriously annoying... :\
Most of the time I just stretch everything but Im feeling in the perfectionist mood & I want NO EMPTY PASSES >:C


PS: I think we should make an unofficial patch fixing the known things in DSL right now (Unbalanced things, Joe's skirt hinge, etc) & Adding some of the stuff like that up there ^

Its not like DSL 3 is gonne be done in 1 week so its not worth it :P

Off-Topic Discussion / Screen "Leaking" Colors
« on: March 23, 2011, 10:09:42 PM »

Uhm.. This is weird... Ive recently noticed that my screen is like.. Kinda leaking the colors around to the right side :\


Like, The background is black & Theres a white block in the middle, Well, To the left of the block its normal but to the right the block kinda continues fading more & More till its gone :S


Its almost not noticable besides when the contrast of the 2 things is big...


Like, This is the normal pic: (I see the thignies, Tell me if you see the bar fading or not)



But I see it like this: (Im trying to edit it to look like I have it, While I have it)



I think I exagerated it a bit.. IDK, Coz I get those thingies while I try to do those thingies...


Its pretty annoying coz I do alot of Photoshop, And IDK what is really in the pic & What is my screen being weird :S


Its almost not noticable for colors, Only black & White or something with alot of contrast with eachother, But you do notice it a bit even if the contrast between the 2 colors is not that high...


Any ideas? :S


(I exagerated the pics a bit) xP
But still, Something like that is happening, Also with the other things, But just edited the bar coz thats the most noticable ones.


-


Right now im noticing some noise in my screen, Just a very tiny bit, Like old TV thingies :P
I guess its my Vid Card getting old... :\

« on: February 11, 2011, 04:40:32 PM »

So I was playing with a HW agaisnt a SHW (Both popups)... And I noticed my game was lagging, Badly :\

Discussion / Another try?
« on: February 08, 2011, 02:50:51 PM »
Hi guys! ;D
Lately Ive been digging through topics & Looking for Robot Combat games like RA2 but ofcourse... No luck :\
Then I saw this thread of some Robot Combat game in Development by some guy, But the source code is lost...


I know you guys already did this but what about asking Atari (Or something?) for the source code?


The limitations of RA2 is the game itself, So we need something new & Not just mods to keep things spicy, Dont you think? :3
