Title: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: NFX on November 08, 2010, 06:10:20 AM
Stemming off the back of something in FOTEPX's "tournament" thread, it's the Gametechmods Home Nations Tournament!
 
Each of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom will be represented in this DSL Realistic HW single match league style tournament, with 2 points for a win before time expires, 1 point for a WBP, and 0 points for a loss.
 
Scotland will be represented by NFX
England will be represented by GoldenFox93
Wales will be represented by G.K.
Ireland will be represented by lloopp d lloopp
 
Each robot will fight every other robot once, so the rounds will be as follows:
 
Round 1
Scotland vs England
Wales vs Ireland
 
Round 2
England vs Ireland
Scotland vs Wales
 
Round 3
Ireland vs Scotland
Wales vs England

DSL Tournament Arena will be used for all rounds.
 
QUICK SPLASH

Why No finland or USA?
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament

Because the Home Nations are only the countries that make up the United Kingdom.

Maybe this is unofficial Tournament.
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: JoeBlo on November 10, 2010, 03:51:38 AM
its not really a tournament since nobody signed up for it (key rule between official and non official)

it was just an idea that came out of these four people..
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: Naryar on November 10, 2010, 04:19:35 AM
It is quite clearly called tournament though. Maybe we can call this private tournament ?

Anyways, predictions - NFX first, GK second, lloopp third, GF fourth. Though GK might beat NFX.
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: NFX on November 10, 2010, 05:50:59 AM
I called it a tournament because it's a tournament between myself and the three other guys involved, but it's not a "Tournament" in the normal sense because it didn't have a Signup stage. We just got together and decided this would be a laugh. It's the same as the MW thing Doomkiller is doing, more or less.

In any real tournament, it is possible. I'll be lucky for fourth. Bot will be built on Friday.

Of the four you have the lowest combat-building skills. Most of your bots are made for the rule of cool or for realism, more than for winning fights.

Yes, yes I know you're going to answer "MeaCulpa 2". That was a Rampant Puppy Love ripoff, so no biggie here.
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: G.K. on November 11, 2010, 10:00:03 AM
Well french exam, french teaching and remembrance service trumpet is done, so once NFX answers a question, and I skin and AI my bot, it'll be sent.

Suppose you do have a point. But then again, the worst part of RA2 for me is sitting inside the Bot Lab with loads of different parts, and wondering what to do that hasn't been done a million times over already.
 
And what you said about MC2? I actually incorporated a bit of Wedge Tracker and Raptor in there too, so no, not competely based on Rampant Puppy Love. Good guess, though.

Post by: NFX on November 11, 2010, 11:01:22 AM
True. It's slightly tricky for members who are still in the learning process to build a completely original bot that does okay in combat. But the entries are coming along fine so far. =)
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: GoldenFox93 on November 11, 2010, 11:08:21 AM
Yeah, from what I can see. I've almost sorted out my entry, and once it is, I'll send it on.

Just need to put a SZ on and AI. Currently, I have no RA2 access though.
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament

I could put the SZ on if you want me to. I've given lloopp's bot a Smartzone as well.

DP: UPDATES.

GK's bot now works. For some reason my copy of DSL 2.1 didn't have Popup.py, so I copied it from NAR AI 2.3 and it now works fine.

Also, I now have a copy of FRAPS, thanks to Noodle, so recording stuff should be better quality. ;)

Yep. Swapped it, found the problem, then swapped it back again.
 
New problem seems to be lloopp's bot ALWAYS starting the match facing the wall. With or without 'nose':math.pi*2.
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament

Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: JoeBlo on November 25, 2010, 06:34:52 PM
'nose':math.pi*2 is the default value for a robot's heading

so if no 'nose' exists in the binding line it will automatically use 'nose':math.pi*2.

as already stated 'nose':math.pi is 180o from 'nose':math.pi*2.
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: NFX on November 25, 2010, 07:16:44 PM
Yep. I've gotten all of them sorted out, and I used Noodle's link to get a copy of FRAPS. GF93 should be providing me with his bot tomorrow, and I should get a video done pretty soon.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on December 04, 2010, 05:00:50 PM
I wouldn't be so sure. Low ground clearance, fast 6-wheel drive, strong enough armour, and more than enough speed to run rings around the little blighters.

predictions:
Highlander-My fave to win, also the only non-flipper (lulz). First.
Nightshade-Looks really cool, fast and pretty well-armored. I predict third.
Saint Mary's Church...-I love the BFE'd bot name first of all, and second of all it has weapons, as opposed to NightShade or Paddy. Second.
Paddy-Too fast for its own good, also has the weaponry of a LW. Also waaay too much rear ballast. Fourth.

cheatbot2's fine. This is just a tournament for the lols, after all.
 
Also here are the RW splashes. For more lols. =D

I got permission to use the judge panel and burst, so I presume it's ok.

You used judge bursts ?

Looks like GF's bot is a flipper. Take a look at the skin.
It's a flipper/popup/rammer hybrid. I designed it mainly for realism, and drive power, needed to bring the top-mounted flipper into play and eject its opponents from the ring. With a little luck, I should take second or third.

So where is the popup and rammer part ?

All I see is just a fast flipper.

No, no.

By the way, we need to find a meme name for this picture.

The popup part is the method by which the flipper works, and the rammer is that ramming plate on the front, which does damage as it crashes into opponents.
 
Also-
Highlander and Nightshade are the coolest things I've ever seen.
Thanks! It's nice to see praise from one of the Global Mods   :beer:

To pass the time, I'm going to give my predictions-

Highlander- This one somewhat reminds me of All Torque- the weaponry looks potent, armour strong, but I think its lack of a wedge could potentially cost it. I predict Second or Third.
 
Nightshade- Although my entry seems to be getting a bit of flack from Nary, I've been able to fine-tune the weapon system so that both the ramming capabilities and the flipper arm can be brought into play, and with the choice of arena, can hopefully allow for some OOTA knockouts. If I don't win, I predict Second or Third.
 
Saint Mary's Church...- Certainly an imaginative name! Anyway, the idea of using Clusterbot flippers was quite inspired, and it certainly looks capable of flipping any of the other three out of the arena. My only concern is the likelihood of the robots flipping themselves over, allowing opponents to potentially exploit it if one of them misses. If not myself, this one is my tip to win.
 
Paddy and Mick- Sorry Paddy, but this one gets the SFTW vote from me. Its weaponry looks somewhat limited for its weight class, and is way too fast for its type to make any effective use for its weapons. Fourth.

First fight is kinda boring, in my opinion, but the second one's not too bad.

I thought NFX's drum was much more powerful. Seriously, it looks like you have Astroflight weapon motors :P

Yes, I have eyes as well, I saw that it had piglets.

Still is 10 torque and 135 maxspeed (or something close) that weak ?
Title: Re: GTM: Home Nations Tournament
Post by: NFX on December 06, 2010, 07:20:01 AM
Dunno. Maybe torque is better for a drum weapon.

Standings have been updated on the first post.

But even still, it's something that's cost me a match I could've potentially won.

But nevertheless, there's still two more entries to face, one of which I will undoubtedly lose to.

is this MW?
If yes GF and NFX have to send me the bots. There will possibly a grudgematch bewteen those too. And I must say:
I love GFs bot! I like the idea, its look and everything :o

AI's designed to head straight for the opponent and attack, pretty much. Which may explain what happens in Round 2. ;)
