Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost on August 03, 2008, 03:45:24 PM
Now that RA2GE is at full throttle and is finally lifting off the ground (or my desktop for that manner), I think it is time to get a head start on my next release for you all to experience. Robot Arena 2 Gigafrost Edition: Legends Unleashed!
 
Right now however, I would like to instead, give the opportunity for you guys to become a part of the pack as well. As I have explained to madiaba yesterday during a msn messenger discussion:
 
 
"I want to have you guys as rpg characters in Legends Unleashed. Everyone will have an array of characters that I will make to choose from (all different from each other), and they can also tell me of any extra details they would like to see on their choice, or just tell me what they would like their character to look like. These characters will replace the Elite." Being that the Elite are going to be defeated by a newer dark force (TBA).
 
Each of you will be given a character (in respect to the number of entries) and your own flash movie that describes you, of which I will create. However, each character must have an AI team (3 bots per team) and any extra components that you want to add into your "portfolio", or in other words, your unlockable. Red Dude and Blue Dude will explain users about your skills, abilities, and even your attitude as a character. Which is largely based on your attitude (the way you type) on these forums.
 
Also remember that you don't have to create components if you don't want to. But if you do, they CANNOT be already released mods. I want the user to not know what to expect when they unlock you as an unlockable. Custom Arenas are also nice too! But be sure to make one that talks about yourself as well. Reskins of a stock arena IS ALLOWED, Reskins of a stock component IS NOT.
 
 
As a final note, I would also like to say that I would really appreciate it if there are any notable members on this forum that would also like to be a character in the game (i.e. ACAMS, goose, mad, CB, psy, Inf, etc.). It would mean a lot to me for your support and would make the storyboard of my pack even more entertaining! But ANY member is welcome!
 
For a list of some of the notable members, click here (https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Notable_Members_and_Modders).
 
 
There are 20 entries total: If you are interested, please let me know through a post or pm, on how you are going to contribute. There are three ways that you can, as I stated earlier:
 
-Only create an AI team
-Create an AI team and components or Arena
-Create an AI team, components, and an Arena/Arena reskin
 
After you finish any of the three, just email them to me via mail xj(nospam)gold@hotmail.com (delete parenthesized message), or through a private message. If you have any questions or comments type away! Thank you for replies!
 
NEW! The Deadline for these entries is the 20th of October, if time allows...

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on August 03, 2008, 07:18:37 PM
I'll do it :D. I'm terrible at making components, but I'll make an AI team and reskin an arena.

EDIT: Will the AI teams be six bots or three bots?
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost on August 03, 2008, 08:29:15 PM
Thats fine! As for the number of bots, only three. Trying to use the same rules as the previous version.
 
 
 
Edit Describing some of the new features: There will be more features at your disposal as opposed to the powerful RA2GE mix of available items. Here are a few:
- Flash Movies: Within the RA2GE: LU directory there will be a new folder called My Movies. When you unlock a character and access the movie app, it will automatically install to that location to store movies in. Tune into them to watch a clip or two of a made-up bio of yourselves, your respect, and life as a bot builder in the world of RA2GE: LU.
 
- Update Link 2.0: As if you thought the Update link was cool, Update Link 2.0 gives you more specific options to play around with in terms of the types of updates you are looking for. The user will be able to click on different categories such as Security, Components, Arenas, Backgrounds, and much more! Also expect that all downloads under 20 MB will be directly downloaded to you from the RA2GE website; eliminating the need to go and search for the download button in mediafire or the unreliable megaupload site. Along with that, users will be reminded when a new update is available. Kind of simular to recieving na update notification for windows xp.
 
- AUS2: The AI Unlockable System 2 is going in a totally different direction from its predecessor... EXE! Once unlocked users can simply click on the prize application file, and it will automatically go into the proper folder of the directory.
 
- 'Smart AI' Updates: Also yet another system I have created other than the AUS is a totally new and different semi-artificial intelligence called Smart AI Updates. This system will randomly give minor tweaks to the most beaten AI (or easiest) by the community. This will be done through the Smart AI button on the Update Link 2.0 website. Once clicked, the user will be asked some random poll questions in relation to the AI teams. Once the feedback is given back to the database, I will receive info on exactly how to tweak which team, which I will send back through a downloadable Update.
 
And that is just some of it...

I'll try my hand at an AI Team, this sounds like a cool idea. Glad to see someone coming up with new things for the game. :)

Post by: Scrap Daddy on August 04, 2008, 12:00:10 PM
I will make a team.
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: kill343gs on August 04, 2008, 03:15:00 PM
I'll play along. I'll make a team and an arena reskin. Are we using stock RA2 to make this or your already existing game update? Because I don't have a copy of your game.
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Death on August 04, 2008, 03:57:53 PM
I know what I want mine to be. could you help a little with the components? It's a bit too complex for me at the moment. and reskinning an area will be easy, so I'll do that. but for components, I need help with.
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost on August 04, 2008, 06:31:52 PM
@ flying chao - you are basically seeing what you can contribute to the pack (through an AI pack, arena etc.), that would form yourself as a character in the game. Afterwards, i will also make a character set that you will choose from, which will be your appearance in your flash movie (the thing that taks about you once unlocked).
 
@System32- Ok, what will you contribute?
 
@kill- You can just use stock RA2.
 
@Death- You don't have to create components if you don't know how, and I only use the GMF Editor program to edit existing stock components. I will make you components but don't expect anything elaborate like madiabas masterpeices!
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: System32 on August 04, 2008, 06:43:16 PM
Me, Some of the weirdest bots that can be AI'ed. Not to mention Improved remakes of my old bots. I will make my bots better but only on firepower and Aesthetics, and I shall also make them as realistic as possible.
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost on August 04, 2008, 06:55:50 PM
Sounds good. Editted.
 
Only 11 slots left... And entries are starting to rush in! Better hurry if you want to be an important part of Legends Unleashed, and haven't yet!

Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost on August 04, 2008, 11:53:01 PM
I can only imagine. I always loved your robot designs.
 
Are you making popups?
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Death on August 05, 2008, 01:42:15 AM
you see, that editing GMF stuff is a bit too complex for me. it's all this crazy stuff at once.
you see, I WANT to create custom components, but I don't know how. and since skinning components isn't an option, then it makes it even tougher. as for the arena's, as far as I'm concerned, all you have to do is reskin the textures right? and do the AI bots have to be completely original or can we take a bot based on what you want and go from there? (are dsl components allowed?) will I ask more questions? :P
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Venko on August 05, 2008, 02:01:52 AM
I need some more info about how bots must look too, and if i have time i may try to enter...
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on August 05, 2008, 02:35:21 AM
From what I understand, the bots are entirely up to you for whatever you want to create. There must be one LW, one MW, and one HW from what I can figure out. Also, since this is an add-on to stock, DSL components are porbably not allowed. But, I'm not Gigafrost, so I can't verify these.
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: infiniteinertia on August 05, 2008, 09:31:21 AM
6 per team? 3 per team?

I can easily get a team of 2 LW, MW, and HW together (From 121 bots >:] hehe)

does there have to be a color scheme i must go by?
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Flying_Chao on August 05, 2008, 11:40:41 AM
I will contribute....
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost on August 05, 2008, 12:58:53 PM
For All- R0B0SH4RK, as usual, is on point. We are going to use RA2GE rules. Meaning that there can only be three bots per team- one LW, one MW, and one HW built from the stock version of Robot Arena 2. Also like he said, you can build anything you like. However it CANNOT be any of the following (some extracted from beetlebros.com):
 
-Bots that use AAM or bot file editing
-Bots that are Bumble balls, Nasty Pickles, piston fliers, or related designs.
 
Just build bots that you are most comfortable at building.
 
ok Flying_Chao - What will you contribute?
 
P.s. - Please everyone from now on, post what you will contribute so I wont have to repeat the same question! Not pointing you out Chao, just clarifying.

Post by: Gigafrost on August 05, 2008, 03:15:51 PM
Inf- consider it done. Everyone who is/are entering will be an unlockable character.

about my character. he is a mysterious hacker with white hair, ice cold eyes, and he can modify technology with his mind. his name is Dotz and no one knows much about him, or the technology used for his bots. (I'll pm you for details on the parts) and why do we need LWs if the AI never uses them? or was it MWs that they never use?

Post by: Gigafrost on August 06, 2008, 02:50:33 PM
NEW UPDATE!
 
Only six slots left!
 
Better hurry if you want to be a part of the action!
 
 
 
Extra Note: For all the characters. Remember that all of you will be used in the final movie (possibly), to stop the new Dark Force once and for all. You can still be mysterious and anti-social if you want, but i'm just giving you a heads up on what to expect. I decided that the movies might be in an animated comic book form, to make it easier on myself. The intros will be mostly animated. Kind of SSB: Brawl style.
 
Each of you will have a theme song of some sort, but in due time.

1.You should NEVER use square extenders, as all they have over round ones is that they weigh more.
2.You probably should keep it to the normal weight limit.

Hey gig, can I call dibs on the combat arena for my reskin? I have a lot of experience with that arena. (I did the tag team championship reskin)

If I used a starcore bot, I would disassemble the weapon system and use customize it myself.

yes it is a remake and yes I will try to change it so its within the weight limit. the only reason I used this is because I have never been able to make the wall of spikes. I will probably make it so that the top line of spikes that are attached to snapper motors go up while the others stay. I will probably have a team consisting of cactus jacks brother(heavy weight), the supersonic flying sheep(medium weight), and the liquilizer(my custom lightweight). and can my tam be called piecowmoo and have the biohazard symbol?    :P

There is still a few spots left.

Whoops, I'm guessing this is NOT Tournament classed bots, CHECK OUT MY ZTEKS class.

If that's the case, I'll have to withdraw. ((My limit of a bot to fight ends at 80 Spikes.))

A piston flyer is a bot that is exactly like the bot in your picture. there are pistons on a spinner, adn the bot flies in the air when the spinner is at full speed and you fire the pistons. Nasty Pickles are explained at Clickbeetle's site , and so are piston fliers. I have no idea what bumble balls are.

Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Death on August 17, 2008, 04:41:09 PM
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.
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost 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.

Is there a simple way to add background music to an arena?
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost 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).

Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost 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.

Post by: kill343gs 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.

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...

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

@ Death- Of course I want you to do this. I admire your designs. It is just that I don't have enough time to submit your finished components just yet. I will though.

@ Naryar- Ok Nar. thats fine. I dont understand your half-dragon ideal though. Explain?

Well, Naryar started s a RPG character in a roleplay forum. He's a red half-dragon, that is the bastard child of a red dragon and a human. That makes him really powerful, but also makes him seriously ill-tempered.

Lol. Neat idea though, I could make Naryar french.

Giga, Naryar basically started as a medieval fantasy character, a wizard/warrior exactly. Do I need to put him in a modern/futuristic universe?

If you want, RA2GE is a futuristic realm, but you don't have to look like you're from there.

Ok, I'll give you my thoughts upon receiving it.

Post by: Flying_Chao on September 02, 2008, 07:02:30 PM
I regret to inform you that I will not be able to make an arena. I would appreciate it if you reskinned an arena to red, black, and some green, made it "eerie" if possible, and put that symbol I sent you with the bots (Vetearnism_Large.bmp) somewhere in it, like covering the arena floor. Also, make it look futuristic. Tell me if this is possible/you plan to do it.

Personally i have several issues about editing the bridge of doom himself. i mean the bridge_grate.tga. The arena skin is nearly finished but I must take a screenshot of it, and get that bridge darker...
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Gigafrost on September 03, 2008, 10:08:50 AM
@ F_C - Yeah. I will do that...

@ Nar - What format are you saving the .tga file as? What software are you using? Remember that the SIZE of your new .tga file HAS TO BE THE SAME SIZE as your old .tga file. If using Paint.Net, DONT use Auto-detect when you save and be sure to save it in the largest format available (or smallest if there are errors). You are probably saving it as a 16 bit when it should be 32 (if i'm not mistaken)...
Title: RA2GE: Legends Unleashed!-- RPG Character Signup!
Post by: Naryar on September 03, 2008, 10:56:12 AM
Yeah, it has to be the same size and that's the issue. It isn't with TGA's.

I'm using GIMP 2.4 and has no problem with BMP's because they do automatically fit at the same size.
