RA2 Randomiser (v2.02) Now with S32's 'Make a bot with a Dice'!

[Badger]

Just a little program I made in VB6. Credit to NFX for the idea.

From now on, all form and project files will be included with the project. This is so anyone can modify the code, and so if I go full retard mode and delete all the form files (Like I did) I can recover the code.



Downloads:

Download Current Version (2.02) - 25kb

Note: You probably need a .net framework for this to work, but you almost certainly already have it. If the program does throw you a .net error, you can get the installer for .net framework 4.0 here

To Do:

- Possibly add in pictures (again) (You don't know how painful adding this in was. Stacking 3 blacks x 50)

Legal(ish) stuff

Do whatever you like with this thing, but please use the download link I provided, i like to see how many downloads I have, and don't try to sell it to anyone for money. Any help would be greatly appreciated, so please do tinker with the coding if you feel like it.

Any feedback/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

So essentially this is a builder's block helper?

I now love you.

[nicsan2009]

What exactly does this do?

[NFX]

What exactly does this do?

It takes various aspects of bot building and randomises them, so it provides you with a set of qualities to attempt to build into a robot. It is, as Badnik said, a builders block solution. =)

[Wacky Bob]

The wheels section could probably be changed to something else, I don't like the idea of having to build an odd-wheeled bot half the time.

To Do:

- Add pictures that correspond to results (Thanks Craaig!)
- Clean up 'Info' messagebox
- Make it look prettier in general

Any feedback/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

i think you can add a IRL/DSL Standard/Unrealistic section for this.

[nicsan2009]

Oh that's cool yeah like GC said you could make IRL, generic, etc options

[Badger]

Updated to 1.1!

[Gropaga]

mod name doesn't show up in result but picture shows up

[Badger]

You have to check all the boxes to the right. If they're unchecked, the results won't show up.

That's something for 1.15, I'll default the checkboxes to on.

I remember trying to get something like this as a part of a tournament. I was going to but certain parts in a number of lists together then draw a random part from each one for each person to use.

i did it

[Badger]

Updates to 1.15. What do you guys think of the different look?

[Badnik96]

still needs a building style tab I think. IRL/Standard building is one of the big things out there ATM.


And it needs its own desktop icon.

[Badger]

By building style tab, do you mean the option to select what style you want, instead of it being random?

[Badnik96]

yeah.

[Badger]

OK, will add.

[Mr. AS]

dude this thing should probably have some exceptions

noone is going to build a 1wd anything with wedges/a 1wd bot with a piston

its still a nice concept just a bit flawed

[Badger]

I've been adding in some exceptions, I'll add that.
