Dude one question why don't you make these available to the general public they're THAT good.

The effort involved isn't worth it. My game and folders are very messy and use confusing abbreviations. It works for me baecause I'm familiar with it and know where everyting is, but it's no good for an outsider.You would need my entire game file just to use my bots because I make custom componets for each one. To get my game to a presentable format would require an incredible amont of work - if I were to hire someone to do all the work, they would probably charge about $500 for the full service. If anypne is volunteering to do it for free, I'm game, but everyone who's volunteered this far, backed out before long.
A low skill temp worker in Massachusetts earns $10 - $12 per hour, and I believe this is a 40-hour project. The AI is a mess, the old bots are on top, and thenewest ones are down at Team #80 or something like that. They need to be moved to the front, or else you have no single player mode. And speaking of, none of my bots are lw and few are mw, so you'd have to change their weight artificially.You also have to go through the components menu and hide everything that should be hidden. And, you have to make each bot is DSL 3 compatible - it's an arduous task and I've only gotten through a small sliver of them.And finally, you have to check that each component is balanced within the context of the game, damage levels and fragility arent quite in sync.
Because if you had all my robot, you could figure out the results of each match before they happen.

The sorting of files has nothing to do with component balance. I know nothing of hiding components but it should be a fairly easy task (again, not sure, you could just hide them in cheatbot2 anyway.) Besides, anyone downloading it would probably only pit the AI bots against each other, rather than make their own bots. I would have thought they would just have it for the sake of AI battles. The DSL 3 thing would be very hard but that just means only putting the DSL 2.1 ones in the pack, just leave the rest out. If the majority are on DSL 3, then make it a DSL 3 pack. I'm probably underestimating time for this but I don't think it would be that hard to clean up everything, just time consuming.

I work 40 hours a week and do this in my free time. If I were to include only bots from DSL 2.1, then every bot created since September 2013 is out, as are any improvemnts to bots since then.Again, I would be ex-bloody-static if someone would volunteer, but you're as blind as Godot in a ketchup factory if you think your estimate is more accurate than mine.
To be honest the untidiness doesn't concern me, but what does is this: Quote from: Sonny_Resetti on September 01, 2014, 12:12:20 PMBecause if you had all my robot, you could figure out the results of each match before they happen.I love watching these battles, and I actually don't mind not having the bots myself as long as I can see them fight.

I agree on red paint it's like when I see a rep of bigger brother that's brown not dark gray.Great rep otherwise.

In his defense, these bots can look differently-colored under different light. Clawed Hopper from Series 4 looked green in pictures, but in videos, it was clearly yellow. I'm not slacking by the by, I'm working on a bot that's close to me and I've already finished one leg.
