Yes, I'm working on it. It uses PyRA2 and Django to do its job.

Stock

(this is an example of a script I wrote to parse .bot files, determine what components it uses and whether it's Stock or DSL)

Night wheel?

Alright, uploading and processing work. Whereas you can't browse bots through the web right now, here's what I can get through the command line:

Code: [Select]

>>> all_bots = Bot.objects.all()
>>> my_bot = all_bots[0]
>>> my_bot.name
u'Forkie'
>>> my_bot.author
<User: sergeb>
>>> my_bot.weight
239
>>> my_bot.weightclass
<WeightClass: Lightweight>
>>> my_bot.pack
<Pack: Stock>
>>> my_bot.status
u'Uploaded'

tl;dr: Except a closed beta soon.

N12. The "N" stands for "Night" apparently.

Nice to see another fancy-shmancy bot exchange in the works... IMO the coolest feature about Goose's old bot exchange was the bot preview pictures that popped up on mouseover. If you can remake that I'll be happy; any other features are just icing on the cake.

Night 12 was an action movie. And I think a car!

Great work, Serge! :D

Thanks for this endeavour. I'm going to visit my parents for a few days so no hurry, but when you can, Serge, I'd appreciate looking through your Bot Exchange py coding.

Thanks.

Alright, so I started doing a layout for the exchange... Here's a quick preview:

Thanks to JoeBlo for the awesome logo.

looking good!

Urjak · « **Reply #11 on:** July 03, 2010, 05:01:46 PM »

Looks good Serge!

Thyrus · « **Reply #12 on:** July 03, 2010, 05:02:07 PM »

yeah, looks ok

Vertigo · « **Reply #13 on:** July 03, 2010, 05:07:54 PM »

So thats an update for the exchange on GTM?

Serge · « **Reply #14 on:** July 03, 2010, 05:21:28 PM »

No, it's completely new. Planned features:

Users and Accounts
Voting
Automatic bot parsing (stock/dsl, weight, name, weightclass, etc...)
View inside of bot (high quality raytraced render done serverside)
3d preview of bot (WebGL/O3D)
and more...

Good job.

Somebody · « **Reply #17 on:** July 03, 2010, 06:48:40 PM »

At first, I feel bad for Goose because he has put in lots of work with his exchange. But to an extent, he did drop the ball on this. He has promised it before and not delivered, and I cannot wait to see how this one works out. Is there a tentative release date?

When it's done.

(no, but seriously, I already have a virtual deadline which I will make)
