That's what I get for using low-radius wheels, the intention was to run it at the bottom like PP3D but it was clearly too low to be allowed. It was quite a rushed design, that robot will be back with probably bicycle wheels elsewhere at one point because I think it can work well if it can actually be made an IRL undercutter.

Only 3 shameless reentries, not bad.

P sure Thrackerzod didn't make Hypershocked though, because someone else entered it onto gtmrw, and I'm sure Thracker wouldn't sink to a re-entry. :p

Some good entries here. Blizzard and Spinneroo, Mate look like ones to watch, maybe Arachnida too, and Hotbot could be interesting with that Overkill wedge on the front. I think I've got a pretty good first-round draw, we'll have to see though.

Yep, saw that one earlier this day, no idea how that name mix happened.


I'm a bit surprised how fast this started(also recommend to allow only one entry per person next time if it's a small tournament, dunno how many points you need to host bigger ones)
hoped I could fix Hypershocked a bit and add a front/top armor plate for protection, during GTM:RW the link just fell out way too many times. But oh well, at least a problem with the motors got fixed(no longer using weapon ones).

Were the 3 rumble bots featured in the splash before? think it's best to have them all in it.

This originally had 24 robots, but was cut down due to rules.

Hence why I had 2 bots per person.

Yeah, I remember that, however at that time I think rules were still allowed to be changed. I see that you redid the splash, personally I was fine with the old one(and prefer that one a bit better as bots have more spaces between them) it just needed Wakkydude, DSC's and Badger's entries on the bottom.

Technically, I didn't.  I just use the flipper as the main set of the 3 configurations.

I'm guessing though you're wanting the flipper for the fight though.

At the same time, one could question the AI and pinning however.


Votes:
Wonder how Termite's blade setup works, can you simply put stuff like that on axle extenders? it's nice that not the entire weapon broke off.
If you're going to do extra matches I'd like to have one against Blizzard, just for the destruction.

I mean that's a totally separate and unrelated issue, but yeah, it's pretty silly when a bot wins by pinning. By which I mean counting out the other bot by pinning it against a wall, not what happened in the match I mentioned.

Post by: wakkydude on October 16, 2016, 04:53:44 PM
This is quite a bit late, because I really, really didn't think much about it at all at the time. However, as recent events in other tournaments have started a bit of a wider discussion on this, I've started to realise there's a problem here at least worth pointing out. My entry into the wildcard rumble was really heavily changed from the entry without me being told, and it made the robot so redundant I would've rather not entered it in that state.

This is what I entered: http://i.imgur.com/UJycLdt.png (http://i.imgur.com/UJycLdt.png)

I recognise this probably broke your IRL rule in retrospect - especially considering that one of the actual entries into this tournament used the same basic design idea, but added significantly more supports that probably made it cross the line into IRL territory. I'm new to this and have already made a lot of mistakes that you kind of have to make when it comes to learning how the format works. But if you were going to completely 180 flip the robot, the very least you could've done is told me, and if there wasn't enough time to get any kind of fix or the problem was too fundamental, given me the option of pulling out, which I likely would've taken because flipping the robot made it... rather worthless and I would have rather refined the design for a future tournament than see something which really isn't mine any more entered under my name.

It's your first tournament. It's a single mistake in that first tournament which has otherwise run really well and been fun to watch. You were rushed for time in receiving three entries at once when you probably just wanted to get the rest of it underway, and I can tell this is very unlikely to have been done with any malicious intent - in fact, taking your time to try and make it legal had the best of intentions. I also really don't care about doing it or any other kind of battle again - what's done is done. But as we've just been through with others, it is important practice to inform people if you're going to quite radically change designs due to them breaking existing rules - just tell the person in question they've broken a rule, propose the change, and give a day or two to see whether they still want to enter with the revised robot (assuming there's no time for the quite hefty job that actually making that IRL probably would have been).

Post by: yugitom on October 16, 2016, 06:20:44 PM
wakky, you really should've voiced that concern earlier, as I would have called Gulden out on it. I'm not even too sure how one flips a robot like that by accident or without contacting the original builder.

Gulden, if you didn't contact wakky about these changes, you must rectify them, I'm afraid. Hosts should only ever add smartzones (if necessary), edit smartzone names (again, if necessary) on any given bot. Any other modification of an entrants bot if prohibited. However, considering how the modification may not have particularly affected the bot's performance, if wakky is alright with it, you don't need to amend it.

I am curious as to what compelled you to make this change, tho.
Title: Re: Wild Card Rally-SBV
Post by: Merrick on October 16, 2016, 06:45:28 PM
Calling bull on this. How is this a thing you don't bring up when you see your robot has been changed from the word go?
Title: Re: Wild Card Rally-SBV
Post by: wakkydude on October 16, 2016, 07:01:14 PM
Yes. It was really quite naive of me to not realize this was a significant problem until the Banter Wars drama, to be honest. I assumed that I broke IRL and given a seemed sense of the host rushing through the proceedings, had himstep in with an "I'll do whatever I can to make this legal" attitude. Only then did it really come into perspective that it shouldn't have happened. That is entirely my fault, and I understand why others would find it confusing. I can actually provide exact evidence that this has happened if anyone absolutely needs it - but I haven't dug it out up to this point because I'm not treating this as the sort of situation that I need some kind of "justice" over, and I recognise I'm in a less-than-desirable place right now.

I personally wouldn't have entered the robot as the design that eventually fought. If offered the choice of the revised design and withdrawing I would've withdrawn, It just wouldn't have been what I actually designed, and it proved unable to hit anything in its rumble when I at least think it would've been able to put on a better show as its original design.

I am really not sure, due to the time I have come in with this, what the policy is to be on a potential won rematch changing the entries in the tournament - this is something I will likely have to leave up to tournament admins. I do not feel like my robot particularly needs potentially the entire tournament (if I'm lucky enough to win in the first place) re-filmed around it given where it has progressed right now and wouldn't take issue with a ruling that says a rematch isn't binding on the rest of the tournament in this case, but it depends on how the rules go and how this is ultimately ruled. I will leave that out of my hands, if that is at all possible.

I am very sorry to have suddenly realised this was a point worth addressing now - this has been a huge pain and that is on me. I hope you can tell from my tone at least that I'm not particularly... angry over the ordeal or hold any grudges.

edit: I'll leave the proof here in case anyone else claims otherwise in the future: the only PM I sent to him (http://i.imgur.com/uCy9d3u.png) featured a bot exchange link to the bot (http://i.imgur.com/KHUmMF1.png), which is my only submission on the DSL heavyweight bot exchange, at https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/DSL_HW/wakkydude_Sun%20Ray.bot. You can inspect it for youself.
Title: Re: Wild Card Rally-SBV
Post by: Gulden on October 16, 2016, 09:35:43 PM
I received the bot with the blade on the top.
My game must've glitched or something.
I thought this was intentional, but I probably should've been able to tell from the preview that it was not.
(If you watch the qualifier again, at the result screen, Sun ray's preview is shown with the blade at the bottom.)

I did not make any changes; heck, I don't even know how to bfe.

Still, I apologize for not addressing this issue to Wakkydude.


Title: Re: Wild Card Rally-SBV
Post by: 090901 on October 16, 2016, 10:04:34 PM
If you actually look at the match you can see the E-Tek axle facing downwards
(http://i.imgur.com/NZP9php.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/CjVX7nV.png)

Which means the only way Guldenflame could have "edited" your bot would have been to BFE the disc upwards, which I doubt he even know how to do, so I assume it's a AP problem in the .gmf file he had or something stupid like that.

Also, for whats it's worth, your bot would have lost way sooner if the disc wasn't on the top as it would have gotten instant KO'd by the hammers.

Plus I think it's retarded to make Gulden literally redo everything if the results of that match change simply because even though you saw your bot wasn't correct, you didn't say anything at all until that stupid Banter Wars drama came around.


tl;dr Both wakky and Gulden screwed up and are both at fault in a way this whole mess (wakky for seemingly being ok with whatever changes occurred because of Gulden having a screwed up game until the whole Banter Wars thing which then he decided to point out it was different instead of before and Gulden for having a screwed up game)
Title: Re: Wild Card Rally-SBV
Post by: Badger on October 16, 2016, 10:08:22 PM
Assuming the timestamps on wakkydude's screens are accurate, the bot file was uploaded to the exchange before the PM was sent, so it's not like he could reupload and overwrite the bot file he sent to gulden with a different one to /conspiracy/ the heck out of everyone.

Gulden, if you import wakky's bot into a different team slot, is the disc still on top? If so, can you upload your version of the .bot file?

Weird, that .bot file imports fine for me. Your game is borked m8 :P

Can you try making another bot using an e-tek, exporting then importing it? Maybe your etek component files are screwed up
Title: Re: Wild Card Rally-SBV
Post by: 090901 on October 16, 2016, 10:24:28 PM
Ok yeah I'm totally leaning on it being a .gmf issue since the skin on Gulden's E-tek is the one from DSL 2.0 (The E-tek is different in DSL 2.0 from the one in 2.1), so I'm guessing Gulden just downloaded 2.0 and put 2.2 over it and never patched it with 2.1, which has the updated E-tek. (Or he didn't overwrite files when he installed 2.1 if he did)

So yeah, Gulden didn't try to screw you up in anyway, and this all could have been solved from the start if you actually said something back then.

And Gulden, go DL the full version of DSL 2.2 so issues like this can't happen again if you host another tourney.

Wait, what? Saw a new Wild Card Rally video and wanted to check what's going on, didn't expect this drama.

Please tell me this is a joke...
I have no idea what happened in Banter Wars but it's odd seeing this. I do remember Wakky talking about wanting to do a undercutter while the bot shown clearly wasn't, thought that his design just didn't work out and as such he entered that instead. Don't think it would've changed much on the combat performance.

In one way I can understand Wakky, people nowadays just seem to be like that "No I didn't enter that bot, why would I enter that low quality nonsense, this doesn't show what I built", but I'd still be happy that my bot was even in this, and heck even with such mistakes, people would be able to understand what happened and not judge the bot too much, heck, quite a lot of my entries were rushed and I thought it's still better to enter them.
This can cause such a big drama while the AI.py change(Badger's Clone Clash) doesn't? :P especially so late on.

And don't overwrite anything, the 2.2 download is the full game, nothing to be pasted over with anything
Except a few of the community fixes like the oil rig arena.

Ok yeah I'm totally leaning on it being a .gmf issue since the skin on Gulden's E-tek is the one from DSL 2.0 (The E-tek is different in DSL 2.0 from the one in 2.1), so I'm guessing Gulden just downloaded 2.0 and put 2.2 over it and never patched it with 2.1, which has the updated E-tek.

So yeah, Gulden didn't try to screw you up in anyway, and this all could have been solved from the start if you actually said something back then.

And Gulden, go DL the full version of DSL 2.2 so issues like this can't happen again if you host another tourney.
I didn't know DSL 2.0 was a thing(are there still DLs for that), good eyes on noticing that, wonder if it's just a certain AP that got swapped, because Rambulance's drive was fine.


With that out of the way, I think you're doing a very good job as tournament host and this has been one of my favorite tournaments so far.

Battles:

Wildcards:
Also if Green Arrow doesn't get to use it's clamp loadout then you could do a bonus match at the end of the series against my bot, it'll probably win because of how weak my top armor is but it might be still fun to watch.

If you actually look at the match you can see the E-Tek axle facing downwards

Which means the only way Guldenflame could have "edited" your bot would have been to BFE the disc upwards, which I doubt he even know how to do, so I assume it's a AP problem in the .gmf file he had or something stupid like that.

Also, for whats it's worth, your bot would have lost way sooner if the disc wasn't on the top as it would have gotten instant KO'd by the hammers.

Plus I think it's retarded to make Gulden literally redo everything if the results of that match change simply because even though you saw your bot wasn't correct, you didn't say anything at all until that stupid Banter Wars drama came around.


tl;dr Both wakky and Gulden screwed up and are both at fault in a way this whole mess (wakky for seemingly being ok with whatever changes occurred because of Gulden having a screwed up game until the whole Banter Wars thing which then he decided to point out it was different instead of before and Gulden for having a screwed up game)

First of all, let me just cover my own tracks with your top statement and explain the supposed discrepancy: you're probably talking about the extender anchor at the top of the robot, keeping the blade pointing down. http://i.imgur.com/quvC58Z.png

Every mistake I've made is totally valid to point out, and it's why I haven't asked for any serious changes to the tournament as a result, I've just kind of pointed out the error. Being new to the tournament scene, I was very unsure whether to truly call out what seemed like, at the time, a good-faith gesture to make my entry legal. I wasn't aware of the standards until the last drama made me realize so, which is when I kicked into gear and re-evaluated this. And I'm an i d i o t. So: very sorry about that.

But otherwise... that's this mess cleared up. Honestly a strange thing to happen that should be fixed for later, but I guess this is the sort of mess that modded games can create at times. I wish the best for the rest of the tournament and for future ones - the rest of this has run extremely well, I don't mean to discourage you in any way, and I think it's just about time to get it back on track.

For future reference, Gulden, be sure to check bots thoroughly for silly mistakes like this. In future, try downloading full versions of games instead of patch versions. Makes everything easier/cleaner, especially when it comes to hosting tournaments. And I promise that'll be the last thing that will be said about this issue. Good luck with the rest of the tourney.

Rambulance:2


Congrats Green Arrow and Hypershocked!  You're back in play.

Swiss army bots, your choices need to be in sometime soon. (Preferably within the next 2 days)
No definite time because I'm inconsistent like that.

Also remember it's never too early to ask for grudge matches.
The only one I've seen so far is Hypershocked vs Blizzard, but that was already in the main tournament.
R01, you still want to go through with it?

I'd like to face Arachnida in a grudge match, to see who the superior axe bot is.
Title: Re: Wild Card Rally-SBV
Post by: R01 on October 20, 2016, 05:34:16 AM
Surprising to see Hypershocked get that far, when I quickly checked the thread yesterday I miscounted and got to 4 vs 4 votes on Space Shuttle/Hypershocked.
One grudge match I mentioned earlier is Green Arrow vs Hypershocked, so it gets to show it's clamp design off. No idea which loadout will be picked for this fight, Arachnida's front is chassis armor so the Clamp Would work, at the same time however that would mean that the back of Green Arrow could easily be hit by that Frenzy Hammer, the defender/deflector would have other disadvantages, then again the Clamp design would also be able to lift.

As for the earlier mentioned grudge match, it depends on how much time you have and if you have a limit on matches, if any of those two are an issue, then not, else I wouldn't mind a second fight even if I think Blizzard will easily get a second win(the grudge match idea was never to win but to show how destroyed the bot could get)

Pretty sure I once talked about it in the GTM Discord and how this is all just a concept so far(so yeah go ahead and say whatever you want since it doesn't exist and "oh another user that just talks nonsense and doesn't do anything to prove it", even through I made sure that plenty of things could actually be done that way), mentioned that I'd wait for Serge to do his RA2 blender suite and hopefully do it with that(so I don't have to do this over 3ds max which I have little knowledge of and would need to be run in a Virtual Machine, also let's not forget license costs if I wanted to do this properly)

Since said tools don't exist yet, I can't do the mod of course, and even once they do, I doubt that this mod would ever be made as my interest in RA2 has been dropping, that's why I mentioned that I can't guarantee that everything will ever be done for it.

I did talk about more details with certain members, however I wouldn't want to share any of that, because it would just leave to the above mentioned situation as plenty of GTM is "pics or it didn't happen", so yeah you can simply ignore it.

Also that building style, together with a second one, was planned to be the main one for the mod, don't think a building style rule(like DSL-S or IRL) directly needs a mod in order to be made, neither can concepts, they can exist independently from a mod. It's not something I came up with as well, it existed way before that, but imagine having a entire mod/tournament that only has bots built that way.

And yeah I can AI ^^ just rarely do it for Tournaments since I'm usually so low on time. Did AI my bot for Hi5er's tournament and I do think I sent you a AI line for my bot Your Best Dream in the people's choice, did I not?

Did you wire Battle Breaker's weapon using a switch? Because it sounded like it was rapidly turning on and off, which is apparently what will happen if you wire an AI bot's spinning weapon using a switch. You're supposed to use buttons instead. Still carved Squawk up pretty nicely though. I was still a newb when I AIed BB.

What did Sun Ray get stuck on at the end of its match? It looked like it just stopped moving for no reason. Personally I have no idea.  But it wasn't a havok so I couldn't restart.

Title: Re: Wild Card Rally-SBV
Post by: R01 on October 23, 2016, 05:20:57 AM


Is Battle Breaker really using a switch? I thought it really needed to be a button in order for the AI to detect it, but I guess it's just the control name that gets searched(and since a button command(dunno why a button is used, does it allow for faster speed or was that just something carried over form Stock AI?) is made to be pressed while a switch only needs to be turned on once, they don't fully work like that)

Guess Wakkydude can be happy now as his bot appeared in a fight like it was originally intended to be.


I'm surprised to see that Hypershocked got that many votes(thought that it was out this time for sure), in case it wasn't already obvious, it's really the Spinner of the West of this tournament(which is most likely the reason it got that many votes, that or people really want to mess around with Gulden).

I knew that it would most likely not win any match(unless it would be facing bots with chassis armor) since it's weapon is so ineffective(also low battery life if spammed), but I still wanted to enter it for GTM RW for entertainment, because who wouldn't like to see a bot getting taken apart like that?(Not really a reason why I watch Robot Combat, I prefer the strategic control matches more, called "boring pushing matches" by most, althrough those can still be nice once in a while) as long as DSL doesn't want to havok or slow down(happened once in a while, it only seemed to happen against the replica MechaV, not against normal bots?), which luckily didn't happen in this Tournament, at least not until the matches were over :P that's completely fine.

I did notice some of the bot flaws after entering it for GTM RW, so I tried to update it for Wildcard Rally but didn't have all the time required(as such battery life is still low and there isn't any front/top protection) also didn't notice until now that the Spike Strips wouldn't work well as wedges at all(might have to check what's causing it).


Green Arrow should have this(also were the matches done like that on purpose? That's the second grudge match that happens in the main competition now), bigger range with a overhead hammer as well as better armor protection.

Finale:
This was a nice tournament, I loved the presentation as well as the bots, some really great entries here and I wouldn't mind if those were released as AI pack.

Spinneroo Mate was having the chassis texture glitch, don't think that was there before but there's a simple way to fix that, open up ra2.cfg and set graphicdetail=0, this gives you the HD graphics with the low level chassis rendnering(don't worry it doesn't look bad, it rendners textures right every time and is required for trov chassis glitch bots)
I found it very nice that you posted the tracks in the YT description later on.

Deathstalker was a nice bot, try to get the Axe length as well as the ground clearance issue fixed and please enter it again, loved it(minus the wedge part on the back, I'm generally not a fan of AI parts like that, also why I'm not too much of a fan of great suisse since it's a simple bot with mostly AI parts, but it's still a nice concept)

Don't know what was up with everyone wanting to see Hypershocked so far, guess some wanted it to get up to the finale and then win, making everyone wonder "that bot who should've been out earlier got voted so far and now won that thing?" conspiracy theories... you can find them in the GTM Discord  :cool:

just open the bot and flip the e-tek boi
Or alternatively port over the old Etek and bfe the bot to use that ported over Etek, but editing it is probably easier :P

Basically - and please don't take offence to this - people wanted Hypershocked in the final over Blizzard and Arachnida because they felt it was the weakest of the three, and so they'd have a better chance of winning than if Blizzard or Arachnida were in the final. I wanted to vote for it myself for the same reasons but decided to be objective and vote for Blizzard instead.

I was aware to that, and no offense ;) I knew that Hypershocked wasn't a good bot and possibly couldn't win against any bot(if there's even a slight bit of armor and decent chassis HP it will run out of battery life), the main reason I entered is so that people could see more destruction.
What I was asking about was more the earlier rounds than the finale, althrough that could be for the same reasons.

Vote which robot gets which reward and then we can finish this tourney off.

Coolest entry: The best looking
Best entry: The best practical one
BTSHDBBDDTBL: Bot That Should Have Done Done Better But Didn’t Due To Bad Luck

Luckiest entry: The one that shouldn't be here
Best moment: Just in general

I'm not sure which Sun Ray won that :P


On to the awards:

Coolest entry: Not sure it's "cool", exactly, but Squawk. It's a chicken.
Best entry: Blizzard. There's a reason people tactically voted it out of the final four.
BTSHDBBDDTBL: Battle Breaker. Powerful weapon, even with the incorrect wiring, and it's a nice compact design, but it was unlucky to be drawn against Blizzard, a little unlucky to lose to Blizzard, and unlucky IMO not to get a wildcard.
SFTW: Great Suisse.
Luckiest entry: Has to be Deathstalker. Has to be. Was originally gonna say Hypershocked but its progress was down to tactical voting as much as luck.
Best moment: Sun Ray v Sun Ray upside-down The Deathstalker-Blizzard match. Specifically, the final moments, where we were both at critical health and I JUST got the killshot in first. Ignoring the fact it was my own bot, that was an awesomely close match.

Luckiest entry: Hypershocked. It got 2nd purely because it was bad.
Best moment: That flip by green arrow on arachnid.

Liked the bonus fights that Hypershocked got, wasn't sure if I could do a second victory against Green Arrow and hope the fight against Blizzard(which wasn't too bad) was somewhat entertaining. The concept of the bot isn't that bad, it can actually work if done properly.

Coolest entry: Green Arrow, really clean, now if only the extender color fitted a bit better and if there was a way to hide the burst motor better. Performance was also rather good, could be swapped with the best entry.
Best entry: Blizzard, would've had it above and while it does have some weak points, the other bots just have a bigger weakness.
BTSHDBBDDTBL: Blackjack
SFTW: Great Suisse
Luckiest entry: Hypershocked, hate to vote for myself, but what can I say. Hoped more that people would vote for how the bot looks or entertainment than having a easy opponent. It did screw someone over in the finals, but out of all the people I don't think Redace should've been screwed out of it by that.
Best moment: Green Arrow vs Spinneroo, perfect strategy and gave me hope that flippers still work in this game.
