Hmm, I found this nice Starcore Quote from his signups for the third AI pack.

Quote
30 teams of 6-bots each (180 combat-tough stock bots in total)
 New and improved AI routines
      > Omni (Smartzoned Weapons for Aggressive Choppers, Pokers and/or Flippers, Extra code for Spinners along with the SZ weapons, and Separate Selfrighting in one AI package)
      > Flyer (with proximity detector)
      > Bee (Spinner plus Whipper for viable and more powerful Sit-n-Spin and Full Body Spinners)  
More wedges per prior requests
Now also Anti-Wedge bots and teams
2 Flyers for double your flying enjoyment
A few SHWs for people that need stronger competition
Hot new teams by some of the best bot builders in the RA2 community
Once we wrap up this phase of testing, review and tuning the pack will released.

it's a pity that many link are not archived : I like to see that old fashion bots with their big chassis but that still have something more realistic than our DSL bots. they did really look like sore bots we should have found in real life.

Nooooo... now everyone can see how much of a noob I was when I first joined.

Actually I don't mind.  It's a reason to give noobs second chances.  You never know who they might become.

Quote from: Reier;47771
What's the "one-hit-kill" glitch??

It was a glitch invented by a guy named Artitan / Pete Lefeu.  Basically you have a popup, and it one hit kills stuff.  The weapons got stuck inside the chassis of the other bot, causing billions upon billions of damage (I'm not exaggerating... I think the record was 100 billion damage or something).  He deemed the glitch too powerful, and never correctly told anyone how he did it.  (He did post instructions on Technex's forums, but they turned out to be faulty because Pete Lefeu wasn't sure himself how he did it.)

You might be able to find his showcase somewhere on the Wayback machine, and see the original one hit kill bot.  Not sure.  It was called Sting, and the sequel was called Devil Incarnation.

I've told him he should drop by again sometime, but he's always like "meh, yeah, I know..."  I'll ask him again anyway.  Maybe eventually I'll get through.

I've caught him lurking on the forums on occasion, so there's hope :mrgreen:

If he wins BBEANS or something (a very real possibility at this point) I'll insist on it.  'Twould be a shame to win BBEANS without ever even posting in the thread... like the championship just disappears into a void...

I remember all of those.

The one hit kill glitch was a fluke, I believe, because many times over petelefeu could not duplicate it's results. Much like technex ( who was the biggest cheater I've ever encountered) flipping 'glitch', I believe the component .txt files were edited.

could it be the bot I faced so long ago online within the first days I got the game? I just remember the ramplates and stuff, but I am sure the bot was named Black Plague not teckness

Shovelnose Definetly is the BW ghoul, and by that assumption, Tartar, sh** on a shingle and Shizz are probable AW/BW bots.

Edit: I was right!
Quote
And before saying "You stole Shovelnose/Whatever/Blue Streak from Starcores AI Pack! You are a horrible person and shoud die!" I didn't steal them, I submitted them to Starcore to be tested for his AI pack and they passed, so they were reskinned and re-named and put in the pack. Most people here should know that already though.

I remember all of those.

The one hit kill glitch was a fluke, I believe, because many times over petelefeu could not duplicate it\'s results. Much like technex ( who was the biggest cheater I\'ve ever encountered) flipping \'glitch\', I believe the component .txt files were edited.

I hated that guy. I can't believe I co-administrated his damn forum for a few months. Whatever happened to Chex Mix/COLONMAN anyways?

Found an old picture of a rebuilt Digital Apocalypse

I loved that guy. If it weren't for him I wouldn't have spent so much time on RFSHQ. Maybe that's a bad thing in hindsight.

Also like, none of these robots ring a bell for me.  Guess I wasn't around very long, I remember dropping out of the community in 2004 when I opened RFSHQ and then from there I just did my own thing and left altogether.

"The firs is a robot that was inspired by another robot on the forum. It's called RETHOS. It is a "concept" robot, where I built it on the premise that it would not work very well, but it actually is my best/favorite robot so far. It works very well on it's side but this it is now self righting. It works great and is surprisingly strong. *I know this looks alot like Lugicia's recent robot, and it certainly does. I had a design that worked very well for a long time, and then Luigicia posted his bot and talked about putting servos on it, and I thought that would help this robot, so I rebuilt it with servos. If it upsets Luigicia, I can remove this robot from the showcase, but I felt that since it was my favorite robot I should show it.*"

At this point Luvekian Rants:
 
"First off: guys, chill out. You're bickering like little kids on a freaking elementary school playground, 'Oh, my mom could beat up your mom" "no she couldn't, dood use square extenders" "no they're the same" "no they aren't."

Second: Square extenders, as many have observed, have slightly more weight than round ones. They are the same strength. The reason to use round ones instead of square is to save that weight for other uses. The thing is, when you're dealing with a piddling one or two kg, it really doesn't matter much unless you're teetering on a line between two classes. but it's also true that square extenders look different, to some people cooler, and are easier to find and align side attachment points on...so they have that going for them. it's a personal choice, and when the line between classes isn't within only a few kg, it really DOESN'T matter because you can't add a weapon or upgrade armor with only 5 KG.

Third: If I may offer a suggestion, you're using a few too many batteries. Even three DDT's and two HP Z-Teks shouldn't need FOUR Supervolts. Try it with two and see if you can go for three minutes without running low on power. With the later bot (don't remember the name, maybe Vampyre Slayer) you could probably suffice with fewer of the small battery packs and use that weight to put on a few more weapons to the tribar.
One way to do that is to slap on a 20cm extender, then select the side mount point for another one and attach it onto the previous one. That way you have used very little space to give yourself TWO weapon attachment points, rather than just one. For examples see almost any thread on the showcase.

Those are some suggestions that I have, hope they help."
 
And Vertigo suddenly goes on the attack like sage:
 
"Okay, elementary playground might be, but it's NOT "one or two kg". Bots don't simply use 40cm of extender, it's accualy much more. Every 20cm you use, you more than double the weight of the extenders used in your robot.

Example: One of my HW VS's, picked from random, uses 440cm's of extenders. not much at all and they're plenty of robots with more. That's 44kg's with round extenders. With square it would EASILY top 90 kg's, with the calculations it would be more. 45kg's is JUST 1 or two kg's? No, with that much weight you could do lots.


Is it worth it? Comon people, if you're too lazy to freaking get the extenders facing the right way don't showcase the robot. My $.02. Maybe you feel that the weight gain isn't relavent. I certainly do but it's just my opinion.

Anyways, cannons aren't allowed in tourneys or anything. Might wanna rebuild it as a hammer, it seems like the closest design. For tips, try to focus on only 1 or 2 weapon designs. Bots with multiple weapons fighting against each other isn't really helpful in combat. The one you posted with the hammer and stuff all on 1 might lose to a Starcore LW, and certainly would lose against an MW. If you focused on 1 design it would be more powerful. For the HS, it is totally possible to make it an MW. 2 bots entered in BBEANS have an extra snowplow in relation to your bot and are MW's. It looks cool but I don't think it could do much. Keep in mind you only need 1 supervolt.

BTW for multibots, you use bot file editing (Don't ask how) and 1 of the bots will need saws or discs for drive. Wheels don't work on the 2nd bot."

After Some concept bots, II and other begin flaming him, Avenger comes out twith words of wisdom:
 
"You never know, some day some "noob" making concept bots will discover some super glitch, or come up with some insanely good design. Think of the rupt glitch, for instance. "

I looked ALL OVER for the RyanRulez's Component Pack thread, but couldn't find it.   That one is the biggest controversy I can remember.


So, Redline... now that you're here and a respected bot-builder and everything... what was that component pack really?  Did you make the whole thing up like everyone thought?

I saw a preview.

In short, a lot of components get fixed, RA1 bots are rebuilt, and some awesome UI added.

As far as I can tell.

THE 1 HIT KILL GLITCH BOT!  I've looked all over the wayback archive for pictures of that bot and couldn't find any.


(FYI the original 1HK glitch bot is Sting; the sequel is Devil Incarnation).


No one but Pete Lefeu has been able to do that glitch successfully.  I remember Pete even said he wasn't sure what made it work.

i wonder if u botfile edit you can make 2 chassis on 1 bot.

You can.  The second chassis has to be a crawler though, since magicmobility only applies to the first chassis.  And there were some other slight problems that I don't remember right now.  It's a bit messy but it works.

That is Bloodwater, one of FB's bots.  Let's see if I can find a picture...


Here's one from when it was called Ye Olde Smitten Castle:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97950yosc.jpg)


(It was renamed Bloodwater for a team that was going in Rolo's AI pack, along with Pillar of Fire and The Flood.  The team was called Supernatural Disaster.  And obviously Rolo's AI pack was never finished or you would know all this.)

Hmm, maybe we could get Rolo to restart the AI pack?

What have you found about the pack? Hotlink me please!

The pack, back then, was supposed to be somewhat between RFS and Starcore V3 difficulty, because Starcore V3 was considered too hard by many. I had half the bots AI'd and ready when I had to format my HD (prolly because of a virus, can't remember) and I only had the first 6 teams or so backed up, no splashes whatsoever, thus I lost interest in completing

I can't wait to read some stuff Chibi Rolo wrote, can't seem to find anything myself. I did find the 'Beards' thread where my grudge against Spyguy reached its climax in the offtopic section, but it wasn't archived..

EDIT: Oh, yeah, and I shed a virtual tear going through this topic. Basically sums up my childhood.

aww, that must have been pre-swampengeist (the bot i've been itching to re-build the most) but jesus, wow, props regardless. thank you!


asides from that; hthae, the rapist, rabies, and thier respective mini-s were easily some of the most solid robots i've ever built
i remember i did some slick < bovine buttock biscuits :) > with the spikes on hth that made them sweep the ground like little spiked wedges... ooh those were the days! i think it even managed to ko the bot that inspired it in a tournament, but i could just be fantasising


and blue streak + whatever were nasty, nasty little beetles in thier own right


christ though, looking at some of the bots on this page really put them to shame

all the vids from my tournaments will stay on my youtube page i have lots of vids dating back to 3 years ago.

these videos include:

-the old Robo Zone i started 3 years ago, it was planned to have a champion in each division (lw/mw/hw) and new robots would join every 1-2 weeks.. or something like that :)
-TTC - maybe the best tag team tourney to date and featured a lot of vets.
-ARBBC (cancelled) - this tourney format was setup like the soccer world cup but i lost all the robots due to the computer getting a virus.. features RARE appearances from Jet-Speed, pivanov and illomen.

Looks like R0B0 backed out in the last minute:
[IMG]http://upurs.us/image/5258.jpeg[IMG]

And yeah, after sifting through 200 pages of pr0n and stick figures, I couldn't find anything else old.

I never backed out, I was an alternate :P
 
And wow, the bots that VB found (on page 15) were Nitroglycerine (VS) and The Black Death (Juggler). That sure brings back memories. And I also <3 that you guys found the ARBBC and TTC splashes (I actually made the combat arena skin for the ARBBC).
 
Geez, I look at the TTC splash especially and I remember some of the people... Barbie, eFFe, Anulbis, Sorrow, Armadillo, Harcsa, Pivanov, Phlox, Botreactor...and Modder.ty.
 
I remember when M.ty first showed up. Looking back on it, HE WAS EXACTLY LIKE SPARKEY WAS AT THE BEGINNING. We flamed the heck outta him for entering Wheely Big Cheese in the TTC because it flipped down, launching the chassis up in the air like its IRL counterpart and it was huge. He and Botreactor did win a couple of matches though... Botreactor was a pretty good builder back in the day.
 
I just looked through my first showcase on the RA2 forums. I was such a n00b >.<
 
 
So... since my bots were in the "blast from the past" thread, does that mean I'm a vet *HINT*?

He and Botreactor did win a couple of matches though... Botreactor was a pretty good builder back in the day.

Modder Ty= Calliou avatar?

hmmm, it's sad how many great builders we have lost in the past year or so.

Might have been Ty... I don''t quite remember.

We also lost a few with great potential when the old forums collapsed (like Jet-Speed, Pivanov, etc.). I think you, Jack Daniels and myself are the only people left that spent significant time on the old forums who are AU's not vets...

I kinda miss the old guard :(

And Oggie was full of potential too, if anyone remembers him.

Although we are sad about so many great builders leaving, you cannot say that it was unexpected. You cant expect someone to stay interested with a game for too many years. Whether or not you think that RA2 is dying, the forums are growing. For a forum this small, it is amazing how active it is. This forum will never die. When great builders leave, more rise up to take their place in our history. Something special about these forums is that we remember so well things that are important in our history, and people who were great. Instead of worrying about the builders who left, worry about your robots and how you can enter them and yourselves in the ranks of those who we talk about and miss so much.

tl;dr: Do not worry about those who left, just remember their history, and work to add your own page to it, for your own achievements.

Exactley.
 
RA1 and 2 are no longer just dead old games that have a small fanbase, they've turned themselves into an intire platform for robot building, and modding. I think, soon, mods are gonna take over, and custom components will be legal, and we might even have the technology to have a bot with a certain component work in a game withought said component.

@Sparkey: Well...
RA1 is dead, because it sucked
Custom components will not become legal if they are unbalanced. It is clear though that a well distributed and balanced custom components/rebalancing mod can become very popular.
And I do not know if using components without having them is possible, but who knows what someone could come up with. I would guess not but you never know *and in pops Serge saying *oh sure I can whip that right up* XD

the only thing I see dying out in RA2 is stock myself.. as its the only thing that cannot advance (sad but you know its true)

DSL will slowly fade for the time being with NarAI (which is basically DSL anyway) but will bounce back big time when click releases DSL 3

I hope myself that Backlash doesnt flop... although I dont really care.. honestly all im really doing is making the game the way I want it :P

anyway Back on the topic...

Yes, that indeed is Spearhead, I posted it like that on the old forums to ask for help on what to put on it, after that I rebuild the chassis with extra space for Snapper2 and gave it the plows and 2 more drive HP z-teks.

Agreed. It was quite a kick in the nuts too. Would have been nice if whoever pulled the plug had given us a bit of notice so we could archive what we could.  I realize that they probably didn't think anything of it because it was an old game, but damn.  Talk about having the rug pulled from under you!

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 13, 2010, 04:07:39 AM
I remember Tankorporated, but Shower Dough sounds only vaguley familiar. Honestly, I really only can recall Jet-Speed as a builder with tons of promise. And we didn't just lose up-and-comers either. Well established guys like Avenger and Bot-Reactor were also lost in the crash. It even did in the waning careers of some legends like eFFeeMMe.

As for the kick in the nuts, it really was, although we all kinda knew something was coming. Forum speeds were plummeting, and navigation was almost a chore so we all suspected something was up. The thing was, there was nothing we could do to stop the plug from being pulled.

Come to think of it, Scrap, JD and I all arrived at around the same time (I think).

Wow, I remember Tankorperated and Shower Dough.  I guess, if anything, we should have had a running list of contact emails in case the boards were permanently Borked!

You know what though, now that some of the newer members are starting to mature up and whatnot, we got a pretty good clan going nowadays.

Well, I've dug up a ton of my earlier pics just today. I guess there's no better place to post them than here.
 
 
Amoeba and Amoeba Returns. AR took 2nd place in ianh05's Tag Team Challenge, losing to the team of Sage and Sorrow.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/41577AMO.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60790AMO 3.png)
 
Antimatter. A later version appeared in ian's All Around Bot Builder Championship along with Cold Fusion 8 and Deus Ex, both of which you'll see later.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24493Antimatter.png)
 
ApocalypticA 1 and 2. Inspired by one of Inf's bots.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16064APC.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63549APC 2.png)
 
Break Even More Stuff. An early VS. I can't find the two prequils though, Break Stuff and Break More Stuff.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/11891BEMS.png)
 
I forget what this one is. FS/HS hybrid, in case you were confused.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30202BOM.png)
 
Breaker. Made to go on an AI team with Cold Fusion and another HW popup. You guys probably know the one.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93607Brkr.png)
 
Catalyst. One of my first BW's.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1170BW - CAT.png)
 
Cold Fusion 7 and Cold Fusion 8. These were some of my "signature" bots way back when. CF8 made an appearance in ian's ARBBC.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59590COLD.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60297CF8.png)
 
Pvt. Parts (LW), Cpl. Punishment (MW) and The General (HW).
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30380PVT.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23988CPL.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86869GEN.png)
 
Deus Ex. You would have seen this in SCv4 (had it been completed) on a team with R4. It also made an appearance in ianh05's ARBBC.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/186Deus Ex.png)
 
Demi Deus. Supposed to be the MW on said team, but it was later replaced by another HS called Dysprosium (which I do not have pics of).
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22820Dmideus.png)
 
Epic (LW), Inertiatic ESP (MW) and Fireworks (HW). There's a video of Fireworks in action on my youtube channel, along with a couple of others if you want to have a look.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55837EPC.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/13466ESP.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25354FWK.png)
 
The General 2.0. I had jumped on the 36HS bandwagon early, as this was one of the first 5 or so built by someone who wasn't Inf. It wasn't invertible and it only had plastic, though.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8429GEN2.JPG)
 
Karnivore 1, 3 and 4 (for some reason, I can't find 2). One of my favourite HW's ever, it was also one of my first bots built upon arriving on the forums for the second time.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36657KAR.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6092KAR 3.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56005KARWRA.png)
 
Deathifier. This was THE FIRST bot that I ever built using advice from ye olde members. This is also the only bot I have from my first tenure at the forums (under the alias "roboshark" - that's right. No caps ot 1337 :O). I later re-named it Naruto when I was going through my Narutard stage.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/32750NAR 2.png)
 
Nitroglycerine. I think that this might have been posted earlier in this thread already...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70800NTO.JPG)
 
Protist: The Hero. Inspired by Childsplay and Le\/eL. One of my really early bots.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55988PRO.png)
 
Reaction, and R3action. I also have Reaction 2 but it's so similar to 3 it's not worth posting. By the time I had built the fourth installment, Inf had built a "Reaction" as well. Being a much lower profile builder and not wanting to look like a name thief, I was forced to change Reaction 4 to, you guessed it, R4. So now you know: the R in R4 stands for "Reaction."
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/622REA.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58628REA 3.png)
 
RAZ3RG3AR. Almost as old as Deathifier.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96400RZR.png)
 
Sangre. An old chicken glitch AW. Probably my first AW.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44617SAN.png)
 
Sasquatch. This was a very early HS from me (you can tell by the axes). I've been considering the possibility or ressurecting this bot and making a whole cryptid-themed team of 6.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10105SAS.png)
 
Metal Simulacra. You can also see a video of this one on youtube.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59928SIM.JPG)
 
Xenon (MW) and Technetium (HW). I had a LW to go along with these, but I've found no evidence of it anywhere.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12330XEN.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54840TEC.png)
 
War Pig 1 and 2. Another one of my more prominent bots back in the day.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20277WAR 2.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97487WARPIG.png)
 
Wild Thyng. Inspired by the SCv3 3-2-1 Blastoff!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56664Wldthng.png)

why do i get the feeling sparkey is posting his new bots? maybe because they are uploaded using the GTM imagehost and they aren't linked from the actual old forums...

Pics won't work but here is the text:
Whohoo guys, 2 new bots! One a remake of that HW VS, and another, a 4 (Four, IIII, IV) HP-Z-tek drive MW rammer! Both are starting 2 new teams, a VS team and a rammer team (hopefully).

Start with the old... I rebuilt d0g, now renamed for the Mortal Engines-based team, Nakamaki Fox Spirit. Pretty sure I mispelllt it, I'll fix that when I dig out my copy of Mortal Engines...

 
I found that the most razors I've seen torn off on the sides are 2, so I used the weight, along with the weight I got from the rebuild and what I had already, to add a snowplow. I also changed the design a bit and tweaked the chassis a lot.

I made the pam-plate assembely stick out more, so now it is somewhat more dependant on getting under bots and more "centered" and stable, although that's not a problem because the new wedge adjustment lets it slide under Rabid Pit Bull and pretty much anything else. Overall, it's much improved and a GREAT all-around bot.

Unfortunatly I couldn't move the ramplates out because it would involve either making the chassis a lot bigger or doing a lot of funky extender work that would mess up a lot of the bot...

The new design is much improved, and the extra strong frontal armour totally eliminates some of that damage that seems to sneak through to the chassis on most of my other HW's. The snowplow helps loads, and in many matches it gets torn off, proving that it's taking some hits and saving the motors from them. I can take on Vortex and win, although it ain't pretty.
____________________________________

And my next bot, one I've worked ages on. Not as much the bot itself as all the other failures I had to make to get this one good one... It's an MW, and although IMHO I consider myself pretty good at HW's, I'm still learning how to make these, so this is a big accomplishment for me, especially since it's accualy a really kick-ass bot:

 

AFAIK (and that is a BIG AFAIK) it is the 2nd MW I've EVER seen with 4 HP-Z-tek drive, and the ONLY damage-causing one (the other was a 2-DDT flipper called Flame Leaf). I suppose that's enough to make it original. This thing went through a TON of rebuilds, all the way from testing if it would be a plausible MW, when I made a big box and literally started piling junk into it, to very very recently, when I moved the edge of the chassis a pixel or two to make sure there wasn't a mm of wasted space inside the thing... Finally it's gotten to the point where I have an MW good enough to post.

It started as an something like Exploding Bees with 2 more Z-teks bolted to the back and no plow. I got a lot of inspiration from Exploding Bees and Effe's UpperChopper/WIP's chassis. I tried it in combat and found that although the damage was pretty mad and it worked well, the wepons got torn off waay too easily. It worked fine on a 2-HP drive bot, but the extra speed was too much for 8 razors. I had to switch to 6 axes, and that wouldv'e been what it would be like now, except I showed Effe and sent him the bot file, and in about 2 minutes he came up with the new extender design with 10 razors that weighed only 5 kg's more than my setup with 8 razors, and beat the axe's weight and damage by a long shot. It scared me. On my final rebuild I decided to move the baseplates up and angle the razors down a bit, and that somewhat protects the top of the chassis a bit better, made the weapons more centered, and contrary to what I expected, the downward angle makes it a bit more stable when I hit stuff.

In combat it's a killer, taking out a TON of the starcore bots. Infact it's capable of owning anything other than an armoured pop-up or a 2-HP-Z-tek drive rammer with uber-crowded weapons. As you can see in the battle screenies I'll post later, it can pretty much deal with non-armoured pop-ups but the ones with ram-plates have an easy time because I can't hit the chassis enough to kill it before it kills me. And on battles with uber-crowded-weaponed rammers, I end up losing all my weapons. One thing I tried my best to do is hit all Starcore bots head-on, even if it meant falling for all thier traps. In multi things should be much improved against pop-ups as I can just hit everything on thier sides and blame it on "driver incompitence".

I've got loads of battle-shots against a lot of Starcore bots, including Fox Spirit beating Vortex ON THE FIRST TRY WITHOUT RUSHING and a prototype of Chaos Disorder sparking Dizzy Bee's control board 2 seconds into the match, on the first ram, and a LOT, I mean LOT, of overloaded Hspinners being turned into boxes without weapons. However Imageshack is frighteningly slow, so I'll post it in the next post, when hopefully IS isn't screwed as badly as it is now.

Lastly I'd like to thank Luigicia, whose Death was the last straw that made me go back into the botlab and make that VS, and Effe, who let me bug him on MSN a LOT and, of course, pretty much made the weapon system on Chaos.



Whohoo, new bot, and surprise, surprise, it's a LW! Definitly the first one I've ever posted and the only one that has any combat effectiveness whatsoever... The LW of my rammer team, CHAOS THEORY!

"A true designer knows he has acchieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away"
-Some dude with a long name that sounds kinda French

 

It's gone through quite a few rebuilds, but I think it's finally done! Work started almost right after I finished the MW, pretty quick development stage... And now right to the battle shots! Some screens are from the previous version with the T-connector and I think one is from a version before that...

 

Chaos Theory keeps up his big brother's habbit of brutally ripping apart spinners, as you will see in the following screenshots...

 

 

 

CT's weakness to rammers is greatly fixed against LW's, because there usually isn't enough weight for armour on pop-ups, making them easy pickings.

 

 

For some reason, I get this nagging feeling that Team Emergency isn't very happy with me...

I still need to skin these bots, mgiht take awhile though... Still debating what to make for the skin...

Comments on this and previous 2 bots are welcome!

New bot coming!

Guess who's back?

 
 

I was originally going to make it 4-tek drive, but I ran into problems, not weight but stability. I decided to try to redo the 2-motor drive, and it turned out pretty well. I've been trying to use extenders more effeciently, and the results are there. Tons of armour, better weaponry, MUCH improved wepon motor protection, wheel gaurds, ect.

Also, my first bot to use the axle-loading glitch and [maybe] the second to use it at all, that I've seen showcased. It's tricky to use but it works pretty well, if you can use it properly. The results, the lapping inner discs, allows me to apply more damage in the place I choose.

Call me stupid, but it was quite recently I discovered the motos and discs on this thing totally overlap, so it's accualy glitched, and no other combo of extenders quite works, which is why I had to use angle connectors... It's a pretty usefull glitch, having the discs totally overlap the back of the Z-tek like that.

It's still in testing, so no battle shots/name/skin, ect. I'll post more as I go, and I'm still considering changes, so please feel free to comment/criticize/ask questions ect.

Luguicia's Disaster Transport& Death and the Beetle Bros. bot made me get back and make something heavy and VS, so hats off to them. Also thanks to Effe, he gave me inspiration to click those little green things on the sides of extenders. Thanks!

2002, huh? Damn, I've been around this community for nearly 8 years? I was just a kid when I joined! Weird to think about.

Thinking back, my old site was probably junk. I'm glad I made it though. It gave me some experience which allowed me to take over this other forum (some Animal Crossing fan site), which allowed me to take over as head admin of The Electric Playground forums.

That 56k modem was the bane of my existence. I had to rely on this other guy to do my battles for me. I've always maintained that my bots are only ever effective when I'm the one controlling them (with my N64 controller).

Wait, I remember Spinner From the West. It was around the time of when I miraculously left the old RA2 forum.
Its owner said he was entering the current BBEANS with it, and then EVERYONE made comments on how terrible it was.

Its pretty funny how it became a meme.

BUMP!
Here's some things I can share, bots I managed to get from the old bot exchange before it went down.
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_24-4.jpg)
Wheely Big Cheese replica, Kill made this one IIRC.
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_25-4.jpg)
Diotoir, made by BadSeed13.
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_26-4.jpg)
Manta, also by BadSeed13.
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_28-2.jpg)
Toe Cruncher, idk who made this one though.
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_29-2.jpg)
Killertron, yet again, made by BadSeed13.

And now my old bots from the exchange (I uploaded them as Overload)...

(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_18-5.jpg)
INSANE (originally had steel extenders starting at the back and I used some angle connectors to make them get to the wheels as wheel guards. Its a modified version of MENTAL, which sucked cause the front motionless wheels were blocking the weapon reach.)
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_19-5.jpg)
Storm 2 (New Blood Version).
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_20-3.jpg)
Indefatigable (misspelled as Indefanigable, but now its called Mechaniac). I wonder if Kill remembers this bot hehehe...
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_21-2.jpg)
H-Town
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_22-2.jpg)
Indefatigable (old crappy replica).
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_23-3.jpg)
Punjar, first bot I ever uploaded to the exchange. I was soo n00bish back then, this was labelled as "Flipper".
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_27-1.jpg)
Probophobia replica I made.

I don't know if they belong in this thread, but most are old so I posted them here.

I think it would use the Z-tek spinner to flip around the floor and attack foes as they approached. Like a crawler, almost.

Looking at MV's site, if he came back with bot designs identical to the ones under "RA2 Bots", he would fall into the "Semi-Above-Average Noob" category. Its amazing what bot building has become. And whats with the double wedges on Some Dumb Popup (Under Moar ???). And one of Z_A's popups looks exactly like Bombshell but with different wedges. :O

But I just noticed that Firebeetle mentions Seism 12 in his first post in that showcase.  Kinda weird how close that is to Seism 13, and here FB's talking about it when AI tournaments haven't even been conceived of yet...  The Seism bots have been around for a long time.


Also an interesting quote from Jimxorb showing how much things have changed in stock RA2:


Quote from: Jimxorb
Stock in the RA2 world means it came in you botlab as a standard part, the AI parts did not, therefore they are not stock, you can class them as 'stock AI' but not 'standard stock'.

Oh, sorry for the lack of clarification on the invisible bots thing. This was in RA1, and was done by replacing your bot's texture with a file that said "clear" or something like that. Not exactly sure of the details, but I know that it could be applied to any weapon at all.

Yeah, the RA1 forums (beore WizForum and after the crappy self-made bulletin board stuff) is when I first got into the forum. I think it was right after the release of RA1 (or not thaaat much after).

I actually left because, I dunno, the forums were awesome IMO (I even applied to be a mod when I was 16) but for some reason RA2 just didn't click with me. Nothing against the game, it just didn't have the legacy that RA1 had for me. Does anyone remember skinning whole new arenas? Just change some texture files around and you got yourself a new map! Haha.  I installed RA1 again a little while back, and it was quite nostalgia.

Anyway, I digress.

I am glad this thread existed, I wouldn't have found that GTM and the RA forums merged.

lol that version of Portly Washboy looked a lot better than it was.  It bounced all over the place to the point that it was unusable despite having no AGOD.  Probably something to do with being built entirely off one servo.
 
FB ended up rebuilding it with a donut chassis.

Very good question, but I thinks it's been lost. My question is if the videos are gone from the official tournament.

only the bracket from the second official tournament still exists as far as i can tell.

I was looking for a picture of Death Port 3, but found this.

Keep in mind how new some of these people are compared to us.

This is honestly my favorite thread. I wish we had the Wiki back in the day so all this information could have been recorded in real time instead of just in the few of us's memories.

1- its chassis is seemingly fitted for 2 RADs, so it probably has 2 rad drive
2- either has a nifty or black for power
3- has the same wheels as button man (or some bot on the mafia team i dont exactly remember) in its preview pic in sc3, so it was probably made by clutch/clutch1

tldr sh**ty sns by possibly clutch

The first rule is no longer relevant since Pys and MV aren't even around anymore. Do you even know who "MV" is referring to? I doubt it...

The second rule is common sense. Anyone without common sense wouldn't last a day here.

The third rule is something that is learned the first day, assuming they weren't eaten alive yet.

I actually have all of these bots and took these pics myself so if any are your old robots and want them again just pm me.

I thought "Enter Bot Name" and flats where pretty cool. You should upload all of these in a rar file.

That's a lot of old and awful bots. O_O
fixed for you.

btw does anybody have a pic of Death Port 3 and ICED OUT ?


Fixed for you
double fixed for you.

You need to keep in mind that back then:


1. Most people where noobs.
2. There were SOME good builders.
3. A lot of people didn't even know about the forums.
4. There were very few AI tournaments.
5. Most of those bots came from the botexchange and were probably never showcased.

You can see the general structure and some of the more popular threads, even a few rare artifacts (pictures), but most of the details are obliterated.  Most of the people on those old forums are no longer around, too, which makes it feel even more like a ghost town.

Download ALL the bots! (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/BBbots.rar)
 
^ That's my entire stock Robot Designs folder, minus any bots that weren't built by me or FB and any bots with custom parts.  The bots date back to 2003 when we first got the game, up to now.  At least half of them were never showcased so there's plenty of old content to poke through.
 
The .bot files all conveniently start with "CB_" or "FB_" depending on who built it, so they don't get mixed up with your own bots.  Except for Lots OOOOOOOO wheels which was built by FB's friend.

Some of Vertigo's old works

and more of Kill343's first bots. :D

Anybody that doesn't appreciate Vert002's old works has no concept of RA2 history.

And I just remember that I was such a genius at naming that that bot right there was named 'The Claw'. True story. Oh, and those wheels on top were powered by redbirds so it could drive upside down. INNOVATION

I'd love to see more multiplayer tournaments these days...even with the immense lag it's still really fun (especially with hamachi, which seems to help the lag out some.)

EDIT: and organised builder teams.

OK guys, I said I would do it, and there seemed to be considerable interest, so here it is:
 
Download ALL the bots! (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/BBbots.rar)
 
^ That's my entire stock Robot Designs folder, minus any bots that weren't built by me or FB and any bots with custom parts.  The bots date back to 2003 when we first got the game, up to now.  At least half of them were never showcased so there's plenty of old content to poke through.
 
The .bot files all conveniently start with "CB_" or "FB_" depending on who built it, so they don't get mixed up with your own bots.  Except for Lots OOOOOOOO wheels which was built by FB's friend.
 
...Looking back, I kinda miss building bots like Evil Weevil V and Gigawhirl II and Double Edge.  I had kind of an IRL style before I found the forums.

Uhh, do any of these bots use custom components? Bumblebee (wedge thing) accidentally my game.

I took out all the bots I know have custom components.  Bumblebee should be stock, unless it was modified with custom parts at some later time.  I'll have to check once I get access to RA2 again.
 
In case you were wondering, Bumblebee is a harmless-looking wedge with hidden weapons (a popup spike and a flamethrower) that FB made before either of us had ever seen a popup.  It's sort of like a proto-popup.

Post by: Clickbeetle on September 12, 2012, 08:45:37 PM

Oh that's probably because Longbow has one of Mad's smart zones.  It's one of the 'beam' smart zones that weren't included in an earlier release, so if you do already have Mad's smart zones you need to redownload the newer version.  I forgot that might be an issue... but do I really want to go through and remove smart zones from all my bots?  No.  Easier if you just download Mad's zones.
 
There might be other bots with Mad's smart zones too.

Yeah, I got Bumblebee to work after a few tries, I guess RA2 just felt like acting like.....RA2.

TyrANT is the grey bot in that pic, it has a disc on it meaning it's connected to a RAD or axle and given the weight restrictions and size of that bot I'd say it has a disc with 2 razors rotating on an axle.

The UI could have used a bit more polishing but the functionality was pretty awesome. I should really finish working on mine...

I think Ian deleted them back when he deleted all the RA2 stuff that he had done because he was pissed/annoyed at people.

watching these fights makes me think that someone should make a tourney where people would have to build with the same techniques available as back in the day, maybe even using click s'Sportsman ruleset he got the idea of a while ago

apparently jim had another glitch that was more powerful than the rupt glitch. probably bs since dudes liked to txt file edit back in the day (ex: jex air 3), but it would have been atleast cool if i could find the bot or something... anybody that were around back in 2005 remember what it looked like?

i also found this hidden with the rest of the old downloads - it appears to be a tutorial dummy made about making components in 3ds max? could still be of use i think

Probably not. IIRC the tournament's organizer suffered from hardrive failure.

Just passing through for nostalgia and reading a few old posts. I’ve just read that some people think that Jex Air 3 used .txt file editing, I can assure you it did not. Jex Air 3 was my signature bot and one I was very proud of. It’s available to download and use for yourself, you can even see how it was built. I never used AAM or .txt file editing, all my bots were made legit. They are available to download so you can see for yourself.
