http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/Second thread on this, i know, but still that game is really too awesome. There's MASSIVE variety, and you can do awesome things like throwing ogres to the ground with a single-handed nose grab, flood the world with magma/water, make skyscrapers, or build a whole castle out of soap, without it melting in the rain. If the full-ASCII graphics really are too old for your taste, there's some graphic packs out there. I'm using this one : http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.phpBeware, there is some videogame cruelty potential right here. Do not attempt to play if you are especially sensible.

Yes, i will release the NAR AI skin pack independently from NAR AI (the independent pack will have the DSL 2.1 component stats). Release will be probably late April unless i kick my ass enough. But one question remains. Rather than cluttering the component menu with assloads of just skinned components (i am thinking big and there will be lots of new skins), I am thinking making all the skins hidden, so you will either have to type cheatbot2 ether just add a few words in the bot file to change your components. Or i could just keep the components visible like in NAR AI v2.2. What do you guys think ? By the way, i skinned WBC wheels so you have grey, blue, black, yellow and white ones, but they don't seem to appear when clicking on them in the menu

About worthless and UNFUNNY spam, people creating threads to BAWWW in the Chatterbox, or people fighting pointlessly over trivial matters ? And threads like this ?
Ah, the irony.

Criteria i see in a bot - Efficiency (in the arena), Originality (never before seen), Creativity (not original but unusual), Building Skill (a well built bot is not necessarily a good fighter, cool or original), Cool Looks (Candy (tm))
Personally, my favorite robots are both efficient designs (in the arena) and creative (unusual design) designs. I know it's not easy to mix both, but still, that's what i am aiming at a builder.

Are you a RA2 diehard fanatic ? Did you like it but nothing more, or did you forget it and just come to these boards to discuss ?
Personally, RA2 is nearly my only videogame - well, i didn't played any other game for nearly one week and i can spend months on it without any other videogames.

Bot of the Week
Basicaly like BOTM, but each week. I announce what you must build for each one (DSL or Stock, robot type and weight, etc) and you have 1 week to send a splash of your bot to me (by PM). I will then post the splashes, and you guys will vote (by posting). The winner will have their bot posted on the first post of the thread (i will create a single thread for it)
Rules - You must include weight and armor type in your splash.
The characteristics i want are creativity and building skill, so NO need to send me super-candyfied splashes. Hell, i should even not accept them... since BOTM is becoming Splash of the Month... (Still a decent splash is welcome
That is all. Now i know that this might compete with BOTM so i am asking ACAMS for permission.

Third NAR AI hovercraft bot 5mm titanium, 22 razors. I just put the ant battery for realism since IRL you would need one for the electronic control board to work. Not as good as i wished because the thing flies too high for the razors to touch the other bot easily. Fun thing, if you fire all the razors at once, it goes slightly downward then upward and you can get to the ceiling rather easily with a few bursts

Well, i just managed to find out that GIB's were actually text files rather than pictures, and now after taking a look at some of them i am pretty sure there is the code for the damage's color and that R0B0 found it out and used it on his BOTM.
Searched for one half-hour last night for it, but didn't found anything. Anyone knows where it is ?

I think more smileys would be good Right now i am thinking a Candy (tm) one, a SFTW one and a small R0B0 Smiley. Maybe a ragetoon as well... I MIGHT be able to do them but not before the end of next week.

WARNING: thread might end in a minor flame war because of widely different opinions
My Avast! free copy died a few days ago (more precisely, the protection died, or so they say) and i am looking for another "free trial" antivirus to use temporarily (and when this one will end, i'll delete the registry entry and change for again another free trial because i am greedy and dont want to pay)
I heard praise for Norton and Kaspersky, but i am not sure... so what do you guys recommend ?

Everyone knows about how a few DSL parts have issues, like the large ramplate and the WP836E (and the motors). I was pretty much eager to wait for DSL3 at the start, but when i saw "no backwards compatibility" i decided to make my own mod because i didnt wanted to rebuild all the bots of NAR AI. Also i would gladly skip the friction thing on wedges...
So i decided to add progressively parts of the mod to the future releases of NAR AI.
All previous version bots will remain the same and will be compatible, simply building efficiency might change a little.
Next version - NAR AI v2.2, release scheduled 10th February
-Spin motor & servo hitpoints fix (notably upgrading the 400 HP ones, but also downgrading the Piglet and NPC) -Piston hitpoints fix (same) -Flamethrower fix (dividing the air consumption by 10) -Airtank fix (airtotal doubled for all batteries) -Halfsheet hitpoint fix -Ramplates hitpoint fix -Multiextender hitpoint fix

After Flying Chao's post on HX's thread, i thought i would make a poll just for laughs and that MIGHT turn into an interesting thread.
So, what would you do if you had the opportunity to rule over our little planet?

NAR AI 2020 WORK IN PROGRESSOne of the biggest DSL AI packs, and one of the most influential too, the "Starcore AI pack of DSL". NAR AI is a DSL Standard AI pack, currently being rebuilt for DSL 2.1. It improves the bots original DSL teams, removes replicas, and adds user-created teams. -This is a DSL Standard pack. There are minimum building skill limits : if you are new to RA2, it is best to get help from skilled Standard builders before you sent bots. -Allowed weightclasses: AW, BW LW, MW, HW, SHW. If your bot isn't one of the standard three weightclasses, please put "(weight class here)-(your bot name here)" as your bot name, much like in Starcore. -I heavily suggest you start your team with a LW, a MW and a HW, for weightclass balance purposes. This is not compulsory but it's something I would appreciate -All bots must be built in DSL 2.1. That obviously means no cheatbot2 and custom components. That also means no custom skins, for now (they might be allowed in the future) -Rule of 7 breaker is allowed. You may NOT use the no-collision and attach anywhere features. -All standard DSL-S rules apply. https://gametechmods.com/forums/discussion/dsl-standard-ruleset-discussion/-BFE is ALLOWED, but within the standards of those rules. (in a nutshell : you cannot use BFE to make something that would be impossible to do in the bot lab.) NAR AI Current Version : v2020
Right now I am trying to rebuild all the old DSL teams, Red Zone to Arthrobotics. Which means no builder teams yet (that will be later) : you can help me rebuild old bots according to their team's themes, and improve the old DSL bots.
Provide fitting skins. I have very low capacity for skinning, so I can't skin for you.
You need not AI your bots, but I will appreciate it. Black means the slot is free. Yellow means it is claimed, but no build has been done. Orange means it has been built, but is not yet finished, or not accepted, or not received, or must be rebuilt. Red means the bot has been received and accepted.
Red Zone (Prefered Bots: flippers, clamps, or pokers w/hammer heads) (Skin Theme: As original)

This is just a feedback and ideas thread, I had this idea a while ago and now i can upload vids... I can host AI-ed duels, that is to say: -Two builders challenge each other in a thread i will create later, choose a weightclass and an arena. You CAN also choose a common bot type. -Each of the builders send me their AIed bot (this is a duel, i won't interfere in the way your bot moves) by PM. -I will put a mini-splash of the two bots on this thread with some additional info. -Then soon after, a vid of the two bots clashing. Three matches, best 2 out of 3. Perfect for grudges, revenges, rematches. I will only host DSL now. Realistic rule applies. No freaks, glitch bots, bumble balls or crawlers. No AAM or bot file editing. No custom components (Might allow some of the cheatbot2 parts however).

Anyone knows where's the blue control board's .bmp file?
Or is the color just embedded in the .gmf as hexa code (like the classic tribar)?
