AI-ing (.py files, coding, nose-orienting R+D, and help)

[090901]

Ok, so I need help AIing ty4er's Tusslers 3 robot. The robot refuses to drive when AI'd even though it drives fine in the bot lab, any ideas?

Put the bot and AI line up.

Code: [Select]

list.append(("Gaze","Omni",{'invertible':True,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5,'range':99,'weapons':(0,)}))

Anybody?

[090901]

I think the problem is that the arrow that tells the bot which way is facing forward is actually facing up, so the ai gets confused. I think you need a special ai, but I have no idea what would work.

Click had a bot just like this that runs off of Omni, I even tried the binding line from it (courtesy of Fracture) and it still didn't want to work.

[MassimoV]

Get the bot from Fracture and check the wiring?

You are absolutely correct. I got it working with an old AI of mine but I am reluctant to release an unfinished AI... I guess I'll send it via PM. I'll work on fixing it when I'm in the mood for doing it (I've been doing a lot on the Bot Exchange today so I don't really feel like messing with this ATM).

Bots that sit on their sides are much more complicated than bots that flip over or are less than 45 degrees from being upright or upside-down.

Good evening, gentlemen.

I seem to be having problems with my first AI. I'm running DSL 3. In an Exhibition match, the game loads fine, but when it starts the camera is pointing off somewhere else and the game crashes after 11 seconds.

Here is my team code:

Any ideas?

[helloface]

It says "sweapons" instead pf "weapons". Also, wtf is "TrollDanceZone". And I'd use Omni instead of VertSpinner. It's easier for me. You don't have to, but it would probably be easier.

I downloaded that. I think it's Click's doing.

Any ideas?

There's a space in your bindings where I have put a 'G' in the quote. Get rid of the space, see if that helps.

[Hydro]

Didn't do jack.

Also

[090901]

It says "sweapons" instead pf "weapons". Also, wtf is "TrollDanceZone". And I'd use Omni instead of VertSpinner. It's easier for me. You don't have to, but it would probably be easier.

There is weapons in there too. TrollDanceZone was a feature Click added to stop VS from Troll Dancing as much as they normally do.

[Lemonism]

Ok, so I tried to AI a rammer I made, but I ran into some problems. When the robot is the right way up all is well, but as soon as it gets turned over it won't drive correctly. It just drives forward, spins one direction, then spins the other direction, and then repeats this over and over. If it gets flipped back the right way up again it goes back to normal. Any thoughts?

The bindings line for reference:

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("Taurus","Rammer",{'invertible':True,'nose':math.pi,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':160,'throttle':160,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5}))I'm using DSL 3 with Wham's Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack beta installed.

[Badnik96]

That usually happens if you forget the invertible code on a non-invertible bot. Since you have the invertible in bindings, I don't know what's wrong.

I'm trying to get stuff done for Strict Battlebots AI and so far most everything has been going smoothly, but when I tried to test team 15 (16), the game crashed when I clicked it from the drop-down menu. Anyone know why this is happening?

[Lightning S.]

^ Anyone know what's going on here? Also, I replaced the splash, but the old one is still coming up. What do I do to fix that?

[Badnik96]

Check the Teams.txt file and make sure everything is exactly right.

[Lightning S.]

I can't spot anything out of place, but I can't think of what else it could be. I'll leave it here in case anyone spots anything.

Is who.bmp a 128/128 24-bit bitmap?

[090901]

team bindings pls

[Lightning S.]

Is who.bmp a 128/128 24-bit bitmap?

Just looked that up and no, somehow I overlooked that. Working now, thanks!
