Title: Robot Wars Virtual
Post by: Jonzu95 on July 20, 2011, 04:07:29 AM
Yep, I'm starting my next unofficial tournament. This is kinda "illegal" so I'll make website for this.Tournament is based on Stock Middleweight, with Realistic Designs and Replicas.I'm planning to get all the Famous RW bots into this, from the RW AI pack but only problem is that I don't want them to use custom components. I've already modified 13 Black, Atomic and 259 into Full Stock versions, but Hypno Disc and Chaos 2 are problems for example... Advice is always welcome.

Unofficial tournaments may not accept submissions from other people.

Chaos 2- use ramplates
Hypno-  just use a HPZ and make it fit somehow

It's not so Simple. Go to download RW AI Pack And you'll see...

Then use snapper loading for god's sake

Do you know how to BFE?  Snapper loading can only do so much.  And do you want Das Gepack?  It can be converted to stock pretty easily.

Would Hypno-Disc work with a RAD Weapon Motor? It might be slow, but it'd be accurate.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Virtual
Post by: Jonzu95 on July 20, 2011, 09:13:26 AM
No. I don't know how to BFE at all. and I want Hypno-Disc would have Z-Tek (HP)... If someone can redo some RW AI pack Robots into Normal Stock bot, that would be appriciated. Also, I'm gonna put the Entry list to first post soon...
Title: Re: Robot Wars Virtual
Post by: NFX on July 20, 2011, 09:15:29 AM
I don't think Hypno-Disc would be possible in that way, even with BFE. An HPZ is just far too tall to be have the disc low enough to the ground. A RAD would give the right height, but would be too slow. It's just not possible without at least .txt editing.

Post by: Resetti's Replicas on July 20, 2011, 09:18:03 AM
What about a normal Z-Tek?
Title: Re: Robot Wars Virtual
Post by: NFX on July 20, 2011, 09:22:33 AM
Still too tall, probably. I think a RAD would be almost the right height, personally, but it depends on the scale of the robot.

Entry list done, and Here are the bots which I need to get modified...

You need RW AI pack from the Downloads section to get them work.

Are they like regular stock, or do they have custom components, these BOT files?

Thought so. The Razer and Behemoth reps competed in AON1, if I recall correctly.
 
Whilst I was also in the game, I also got my first taste of text file editing by changing around the team names and mottoes. One of my favourite changes was changing "Destruction (we think)" to the "Hand-me-Down Clowns", in reference to its two HW team members.

Do you want submissions, or just modifications of Alphasim's AI?

My guess would be starting with the modifications, before submitting new ones in afterwards.

Can you make it fully Stock?
Title: Re: Robot Wars Virtual
Post by: GoldenFox93 on July 20, 2011, 10:20:34 AM
Can you make it fully Stock?
I don't know- I think for the motors and other gubbins of some robots (IE. Chaos 2's flipper, Razer's crushing arm, HypnoDisc's spinner), extra parts will be needed.

OK. So by certain changes, do you mean like reskinning certain parts and things, and swapping around motors and power supplies so that the robots perform more like their real-life counterparts?

Just making it work in a Stock only game.

It depends how well the Replicas are done... For example, Z-Tek (HP) Into Hypno-Disc would be a challenge.
Title: Re: Robot Wars Virtual
Post by: GoldenFox93 on July 20, 2011, 10:36:37 AM
Oh, OK. But if that's the case, I can't imagine it working well- most of the default parts are either too big or too weak to use.

Indeed. That's the basis for my thoughts on this potentially being a way to update the enclosed replicas, and maybe add some new ones in at the same time. I mean, with that 6-robot-in-a-team code, I can imagine it working well.
For instance, in the Veterans team, we could have, alongside Spawn Again and Bulldog Breed, other robots from older series of RW, like Mortis, Napalm, Plunderbird and Cassius.

My gut instinct is the Robot Wars arena just due to the nature of this.  Are you actually going to be fimling & posting fight videos?

Perhaps the very small amount of time you have since initally posting or people being afraid of the repercussions of being caught up with something against the rules.

Yep. About the arena, can I have the same Arena that you got in your videos, the small RW Arena?

Are you talking about the one I used to use before I switched over to the true Robot Wars arena?  That's just a reskinned RA2 Tournament arena.  The one I use currently is just the  Robot Wars Arena; true I had said I was goign to try and shrink it but my experminetation proved fruitless.

Its more than kinda, it is illegal. As soon as you mentioned that you were accepting entries from people, this no longer followed our unofficial tournament rules (which have now been reposted/updated to here (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,7552.0.html)).
