Creativity Showcase / So I sampled RA2 menu music and made a thing
« on: August 06, 2019, 06:55:54 AM »
Thought you guys would appreciate because robot game.

That and I am desperately in need of validation from strangers over the internet and have no self control to when it comes to spamming my music everywhere.
Hope this thread doesn't violate anything.

General Support / Damaged AI
« on: June 30, 2019, 05:06:35 PM »
Helo

I have noticed that some AI bots start pre-damaged in the game. Some default ones such as HWs Snow Job and Wide Load (DSL 2.2) and some bots I have AI'd myself. They look like they have already been dented and such, however the damage is consistent and appears every time the AI bot is used.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Other Tutorials / The Events.txt
« on: June 27, 2019, 01:01:35 AM »
So, as we all know, in DSL the standard AI events in the teams break a lot. A few load oddly or just sort of don't work. There are also some odd-ball arenas that just aren't my own tastes or are bad for YouTube worthy battles (yes, I am that sad).

I went and modified the events.txt file to try and make crashy events not crash and change some arenas around. Sometimes, my fix worked. Managed to get some arenas to load instead of the intended ones, and it fixed a crash or two.

And then sometimes I run an event and it kills RA2 dead and it won't even start up again, even when the old unchanged events.txt is replaced. Basically, I'm stumped.

If anyone knows what's happening, or how to make an events.txt that doesn't crash all the time (or has one with just simple arenas like Tourney, RoboGames and Robot Wars 2016), that would be grand!

DSL TC Showcases / SteveM4's stuff
« on: June 14, 2019, 07:53:52 PM »
Hey all. First things first.

I am an old member of GTM, and with many thanks to Hoppin, have managed to get my old account back, albeit with a new name and everything in an attempt to distance myself. With their permission, I have set up a new showcase as the old showcase has not been updated in over 3 years, and was also full of really awful things (not only robots), so I am trying not to bring that up again. You can find the old showcase here, if you really want to, but I advise against it.

Now that's out the way, here's a robot.

Details you are hungry for:
Armour: Alu 3
Weight: 396.5
Made using component freedom and the IRL packs.

It functions similar to the original, however it's wedge is dire against RedAce's AI pack.

Off-Topic Discussion / KM's 'Music'
« on: January 20, 2016, 11:14:32 AM »
Hey guys, in the period I have been away, I have also gotten an avid interest in music production.

This can be a thread where I dump some of my music. With Robot Wars coming back, I would also like to make music based around that as well as other things.

To kick off, have a 'remix' I did today of the DSL opening theme.

Its eh, but its something. This now plays when I open DSL so it served its purpose.

Existing Games / Retro Video Games
« on: March 29, 2014, 01:11:27 PM »
Right, so who here plays old retro games. And while RA2 is old, I don't think it counts as retro.

We're talking <1999 here, DreamCast allowed also.

Off-Topic Discussion / I have returned!
« on: March 25, 2014, 01:20:49 PM »
Hello all! I am back, and hopefully for a while.

Its hard to think it has been over two years since I left here, and the community is still going strong!

Like many of you, I saw Nerd^3's video a few days back, and it made me want to start playing again.
However, in 2 years I got rid of everything RA2 and DSL related, just a few old screenshots of my bots remain.

So... uh...
I kinda want to get back into this game again and the community, which is awesome, so what's happened in the past two or so years here?

Any advise?

General Support / RA2 Completely dead.
« on: June 15, 2011, 11:22:22 AM »
My RA2 completely died today. Both DSL and stock.
I can run the game (after a 5min long look at the infrogrames logo) , but cant use/edit bots without it going pop.

So, as an utter noob now, because I haven't built anything decent since Havok 20 in late December, I have forgotten where to download RA2 and the DSL patch. I have extracted all the .bot files from my robot designs folder so they're safe, but the actual games themselves are... spleh.

(IIRC it is Sage's sig, so all I need is him to post here.)

Contests / IDEA: Robot Skinning contest
« on: March 02, 2011, 11:21:15 AM »
Here's an idea.

I put a robot in the attachment (Say, a Havok) and whoever skins the chassis best wins.
There is no prize, just glory.

What do you think?

Chatterbox / Trains

Yes yes, it was inevitable.

I am curios and would like to see what people know off of their heads about them

Anything at all.

General Support / House Robot AI
« on: January 16, 2011, 12:59:11 AM »
In short, I got this far in the House Robot AI for MicroMetal 1.

The Housebot (grey) sits idle

The Housebot moves when I come close

The Housebot doesn't stop though.

Tournament Archives / MicroMetal 1
« on: January 15, 2011, 05:08:44 PM »
So here's the idea...

I am going to give it to you simply.

DSL/Realism
Antweight
Octagon Arena (Hazards)
Matches will be 2 minuets
There will be 1 match! (So no second chances)
Loser's bracket
All building in bot lab, only skinning of CHASSIS outside bot lab.
All glitches allowed, but they probably make it unrealistic so yeah
32 enteries
deadline is when we have 32 entries.
Bots may be upgraded twice. A complete bot change once.
Havok restart only if it affects the outcome
Modified ant battery allowed.

Send random bots to me (DSL) Ai'd or I'll Ai, and hey will go in a pack with other bots! Yippee
