Will the new version show as Aug7 build in game?

If not I feel like I'm getting alot more torque on spin up and more gyro effect where bots want to stay up on 1 wheel from hits and turning with certs but nothing I feel really stops big spinners just makes them a little more work to control probably would make the bots useless as ai

What can I do, if the filefor the new build doesn't open?
Did you extract the zip file?
It doesn't want to extract or open it. Maybe that's just my computer doing weird stuff

Windows or MacOS?

Maybe try the build I just uploaded?
Ok I don't know why, but my computer only downloaded about 50 megabytes. Anyways it's working now, as I downloaded it again

Can you upload one of the bots that are giving issues?
So I can see what other problems I need to fix.

When it just shows a "robot" button, that means that something went wrong while loading a robot and it stops spawning the others.

Check back a few posts to Post #883 in this thread.  You should find instructions on how to edit your affected .RR2Bot files.

You will need to find where the .RR2Bot files are stored on your computer (different for Windows vs Mac) and edit the file manually.

Out of curiosity if I copied bot file and renamed it would i be able to essentially clone a bot so I could say make a modular bot in a sense?

I'm not sure if you are using the "bleeding edge" version, but in that version that fix shouldn't be needed, and if it the robot doesn't work, that fix shouldn't matter.

Can you upload here the robot file or files that don't work?

Only problem that im seeing wity bleeding edge version is that one of my bots (only the eruption rep) has an issue where it barely steers left. Right steering is normal

Just downloaded it. I noticed that it only saved my first 5 robots and scrapped the rest.

The game doesn't remove bots automatically, you still have them in the folder, but the game has encountered a problem while loading a bot and stopped there.
If you can upload the robots that create problems, I can then see where the problem is.

On windows it saves the bots in C:/users/"user name"/AppData/LocalLow/Nerd Island Studios LLC/Robot Rumble 2_0/Robots/ .

Very weird for a flipper!

Do I have a copy of the .RR2Bot file already?  Steering should only be different for spinners, not for flippers.

so, while the gyro is much more noticable and a good way of keeping stupid spinners from being too broken, i've noticed a lot more crashes during fights with various robots, i also had crashes in the test box from hitting the crate or wall too hard with some of my bigger spinners

Mystic I definently agree my big spinners were crashing game before occasionally but they do do it a little more now

With this new build, the bots that didn't appear now are which is good. I'm also excited to see what's going to happen with this panel addition.

While we're reporting bugs, however, I seem to be having an issue with the duplicate tools (both the single and multiple) now working... It will allow me to like move the duplicated pieces around but the moment I go to place them, they'll stay where I choose on the first click, but once I click away elsewhere they disappear? Dunno if anyone else is having this issue?

I also feel like the breaking point for the chain/belt drives is way too low but I imagine this will be ironed out once damage is sorted haha.

The rubber material is also a brilliant idea, but we now may be requiring torus/donut shapes to make more believable wheels... :P
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?
