Other Tutorials / Making Invisible Sections in a Disc?

« on: July 24, 2019, 01:08:15 PM »

Whattup, I'm working on a rep of Texas Twister currently and I'm needing help on how to make invisible sections like you'd see on the S3 or Nightmare disc in DSL. I'm using a base extender disc BTW in case that matters. I know Click made a tutorial here many moons ago about switching to .tga files versus .bmp but every time I've tried that it just makes it white? Anyone more experienced know how I could pull this off? I'm also needing this for making invisible flipper panels to give the flipper reps more oomph.

Other Tutorials / How to make a more powerful flipper in DSL?

« on: June 25, 2019, 05:22:09 AM »

So really specific question here but I’m gonna tackle a Hydra replica soon and I’m looking to get it to flip similar to the IRL Hydra without using multiple motors so I can avoid that janky uneven reset dual motor flippers get. I know I can edit the motor parameters to be more powerful but at a certain point that I’m not sure when it causes the entire motor to spaz out. What’re some tips to get a really powerful flipper in DSL on a single motor? I could also import in other motors but I’m not 100% sure how since I tried before and it crashed my game

Modifications / 2018 Battlebots Pack

« on: September 17, 2018, 06:06:19 PM »

Hey that Good Robottal guy that only posted a couple times then disappeared is back, what's this about a pack? Is this some big project he's starting up? Is this to get our hopes up to only be dashed midway through? No, because it's pretty much already done! Release version 1 is live! It includes all 55 2018 Battlebots plus some variants and a few treats in here. Expansions, fixes, and an AI pack are in the works which will come hopefully before the end of the year. Hope you all enjoy!

General Support / Question in Regards to Chassis Shape Editing

« on: April 29, 2018, 01:55:35 PM »

Apologies first off if this has been asked before, but I've basically ran into an issue when designing chassis, it cannot make a particular shape where the bottom half is vertical and then it goes into a diagonal section like so:



Really basic photo to show what I mean

Real world example is like here on the sides of Lucky where by the wheels it's a vertical side and then above the wheels it goes off at an angle:



Is there any way I can edit the file outside of RA2 (DSL 2.2 to be precise) or create a shape like this that isn't making it out of extender panels? I've seen a few people do builds with this sort of geometry but I'm not sure what the best way to go about this is, any help is much appreciated!

DSL TC Showcases / Charlie Tries Building in DSL

« on: April 12, 2018, 10:04:16 AM »

Hello! Name's Charlie, been posting on AHOL for a bit, figure may as well take the plunge to post some designs of mine here. Still pretty newish to DSL (like less than six months of building)

Here's my first custom bot, been built and edited for about two months on and off called Dragon's Breath based on Cobra from Series 9. Weighs near 1000, gonna try to slim down some weight to get green wheel covers. Got a few other builds in my roster I'll show off later on!





And of course it needed to shoot fire as all dragons should
