I sent my bots to him too... I have the same question.

I need ALOT more time... and a few tips on how to make unique bots that have rarely used tactics, or behave in a weird way.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #102 on:** August 18, 2008, 12:01:32 PM »

Back, apologies guys for the delay. I just got settled into my college dorm room and i am in between classes right now (only have an hour to use the computer before my class starts). Today I just setup the internet on my toshiba satellite A305, so i may not have as much time as i used to. I think i get off at around 4 or so.

Also I did get the teams. Since I moved all of my data to my new computer (using vista sadly), the time it takes to create Unlock ables may be a little bit increased. However, I can now record video thanks to my new ATI Radeon graphics card. As the old mask maker from the legends of zelda, Majora's Mask once said: "Just have patience."

Expect your bots battle videos upon your character's unlockables!

@ Death - don't worry about the deadline, I am going to move it to the later date i mentioned earlier. As for tactics, I usually played around with the simple py. files (Pusher, Rammer, etc.) and ajusted their variables to get interesting results (adjusting the forward angle parameters of the pusher py file to get the plow AI). As you get better, you should try using more complex AI such as spinner and Flipper.

OR

You can simply build a bot within the standard AI "rules" and alter the way it works. A good example is my bot, the infamous 'Jaws'. It is really a Omni bot designed to attack its opponent is a scissor-like fashion. Doing more damage in half the time.

Edit: I am putting a deadline to the Vacant entries!

IF YOU HAVEN'T REGISTERED, BE SURE TO REGISTER BY THE END OF AUGUST!

If you have registered already, look at the first post. I changed the deadline of submitting bots to September.

I need help on an arena also.

Urjak · « **Reply #105 on:** August 21, 2008, 03:59:02 PM »

did you get my bots?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #106 on:** August 21, 2008, 04:08:22 PM »

I have some serious decision making to do in choosing bots, I have alot to choose from. Might take till the dead line, or at least until Sage returns.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #107 on:** August 21, 2008, 05:09:07 PM »

Apologies Urjak, yes I did.

@ Death: PM me your issue.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #108 on:** August 22, 2008, 12:41:18 AM »

I might need until September to finish refining my bots. I'll try to skin an arena too, but I can't guarantee it'll happen on time.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #109 on:** August 25, 2008, 07:46:36 AM »

New Update: I created a tutorial to help some you guys out in terms of creating a skin for an arena... Check it out!

My arena is just about done and I just have to skin one more of my bots.

Is there a simple way to add background music to an arena?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #112 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:53:05 AM »

Ok, kill. Changing first page

@ F_C- Not exactly. The code you want to look at is this. As you can see the code of this arena used an intro from the music file "aggression."

#start playing music loop
self.intro_music = plus.createSound("Sounds/intro_music/aggression.wav", False, (0,0,0))
plus.setVolume(self.intro_music, 0, 0)
plus.loopSound(self.intro_music)
yield .25

Within your arena's .py file, there are two ways that I think are best to use.

Change the code: Simply insert the name of the music file in the section i put in red. Then place the music file in the Sounds/intro_music folder of your directory.

OR

Change the file: Simply rename your new music file to the one within the intro_music folder (you will need to check that same code in your .py file to see which music file would have to be replaced).

Death · « **Reply #113 on:** August 26, 2008, 06:01:42 PM »

can you send me the components and arena you make to me?

I would like to add music to the arena. btw, which arena are you reskinning?

kill343gs · « **Reply #114 on:** August 26, 2008, 07:55:27 PM »

Are the arenas supposed to be skiinned after us or what?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #115 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:24:32 AM »

@ Death- I will once I am complete, and also I don't mean to be frank, but I see no point in doing so; it being that you have little choice on how to change it (since I am doing the complete arena and components). You will get either the Octagon or the Combat Arena... Make your choice wisely. Nothing personal, it is just that I am a busy man...

@kill- Yes. The arena has to describe your character.

kill343gs · « **Reply #116 on:** August 27, 2008, 08:46:27 PM »

Alright good, I don't have to start over now! I was almost finished when I realized that I wasn't sure if the arena was to be based on us or not.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #117 on:** August 28, 2008, 07:44:57 AM »

Good news everyone, I just purchased Macromedia Flash 8 Professional (I like the oldies)... Well worth the $255.

Once I get the hang of it, this pack will go in a TOTALLY different direction. But since I am also a master of PowerPoint, I can simply convert it to flash if need be. Either way, your character's movies will be sexy...

Death · « **Reply #118 on:** August 28, 2008, 06:19:05 PM »

well, if you say so. I mean, it's YOUR pack, I don't have to do this if you don't want me too.

Naryar · « **Reply #119 on:** August 29, 2008, 09:24:28 AM »

I'm entering. I will do 3 AI bots and am reskinning the Bridge of Doom.

Won't be finished since three days.

I will send you a drawing of my character. Naryar is and will always be a red half-dragon.

Pretty much impulsive and sometimes brutal, but still clever.
