oh yeah, I remember this from ages ago. Me and my friends were pretty into it but could never figure out how to make something functional, due to the lack of a decent tutorial.Just find Kosso and he'll show you how to become a master. He's a living legend at Bamzooki, but you probably knew that if you saw his Zook, goodgodwhatisthis, in the video.
nan2 is also truly something of legend. It pales in comparison to goodgodwhatisthis but it still managed to put up an incredible fight. Tom is seriously skilled.oh yeah, I remember this from ages ago.

God, how could I forget? It was like robot wars but slightly more far-fetched.Yeah, haha. When I was younger, I had a slightly better version than the one we were playing here but that is impossible to find. However, the one I did play was the RA2 of my childhood :P
this show. THIS ****ING SHOW. dear lord this show as one of the holy trifecta from my childhood along with robot wars and ed,edd and eddy. the show was soo good and the best part was the zook creator (even if it killed my computer and taugh my mom waht downloadable games were). i agree with avalanche also that the reboot was complete ass, it had none of what made the original show great, the original was humble and light-hearted and was more about the contestants rather than the zooks but the reboot turn the sport into a ****ING ILLEGAL SPORT BECAUSE CLEARLY WATCHINGB VIRTUAL REALITY ABOMINATIONS FIGHTING EACH OTHER IS THE SAME AS DOGS RAVAGING EACH OTHER IN EXCHANGE FOR A ****ING DENTASTIX!!
You guys suck at making those things walk well.I immediately got better after this, haha. You should see The 4th Nan ;)

Calm thine breasts, good sir.
I can't get the game to work.Do you get this? (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76235eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2kuZ3lhem8uY29tLzkzNzE0Zjc1ZDRiNmRlYTQ4OTBmYzQ5NTM0YmVkYzEyLnBuZyJ9.qD0lY2uRE_ObCokWsI0-EGpoO9k.png)
Right, guys. I'm making a tournament for Bamzooki. So, for all the guys that replied in this thread that have played the Bamzooki games before, I ask you to make a 3 zook team (one for each event), send it in to me and you'll be part of the display tournament. There's no limit on how many teams per participant that can be entered because me and Kosso will be doing this regardless of how many people join in.
Yup, what's the fix?Well, for me, it was to move it from the folder 'Program Files x86' to just 'Program Files'. That's how I solved it, anyway. Just move it around your folders a bit and see what happens.
I made a table...?You're on the road to success :) Please make furniture a theme for your team.

what even is this game
bed:That looks brill :D You enter by exporting your zooks, going into the folder which contains said zooks and you can host them on the file hoster or mediafire or something along those lines and then send it off to me. Also, I'd love popups to work but all 'weapons' would have to be legs, which means the weapon will constantly be firing :P

how do i enter tournament
also how do i make a popup
Where can i download this? Im sure I can bang out some entries.

anyone happy to post a download link to the game? Don't think I'll be able to get it on the interwebz anymore.What're you on about? Does the link above your post not work?

Am I doing it right?Me and Kossokei are in actual awe. This thing is awesome. I really need to know how you made it :D
Am I doing it right?That's insane...
Am I doing it right?"I guess we've found the guy whose gonna piss all over the rest of the competition"
Each leg is actually 5, with 0.2 timing offsets between each one. Each individual leg has a circular motion so they follow each other round in a circle.Am I doing it right?Me and Kossokei are in actual awe. This thing is awesome. I really need to know how you made it :D
On another note, I've made a competent thing that moves but I can't access the online things that move, is it possible someone could send me some things that move so I have something to compare it to?Make more and test yourself. If you wanna know how they fair against others, be sure to send your zooks into the tournament ;)
On a side note, the wheel bot can't push at all. I need to remember my old all-round design.Well, if you're planning on entering the tournament, you can enter that as the zook that tackles the Tag event.

So is it one per event?Yeah, three zook team with one zook for each event.
Whenever I feel like, I suppose. There's no deadline for entries but they could close at any time so be sure to get yours in while you can.Fair play.

If not, then WenXiangLeave. It seems like there's a good bit of interest into what myself and tom are putting together in this thread, and doesn't exactly need "1/10 c***" sprinkled over it.
I don't mean to be mean, lol. Just a bit of banto, take it with a grain of salt. Give it a look. Catch you on the flip-side, space cowboy.
what is this thing ? It looks... interesting... is it a robot combat simulator, or a physics simulator ?
I tried to test a zook on the game version Tom posted... And it crashed. Any reason this could happen?Can I have a look at what the zook looks like? Some designs might do that.
EDIT: Proposed 'classes' of zook.
It might be easier to measure in terms of length/width/height/weight as seen on the info screen for each zook.In that case have base area within a certain size.
ALSO: How do make them have not-abysmal turning circles?

Sweet, this version is so much better.

Well, you'll see what the path it's looking for is. It'll be Program Files x86/Bamzooki, so just replicate that. Take the Bamzooki folder out of the Bamzooki Masterath folder and plop it in your Program Files x86 folder.Me too I click on them, it says shortcut path doesn't exist, so I can't play on it.EDIT: uh.. where's the actual game for the copy that was just uploaded?I just extracted the folder somewhere.

Also, do you think anyone else has a copy of the game with some of the online uploaded zooks on it? Would be interesting to find some of them.
Someone likes their stacked legs.A lot of the Zooks in the video are from around 2013, and back then I had the mindset of "if it dont have 20 bajillion legs its not fast and its not good"
So what is the list of events that are happening?Well, despite the appearance of the better version, the tournament will be in SR, so the only 3 in that. Make 3 zooks, one for each event.

Well, if you're downloading the game to make zooks for those events, I'm sure you'd be able to find out for yourself :P But, there's Tag, Marbles and Sumo.And what are those events?So what is the list of events that are happening?Well, despite the appearance of the better version, the tournament will be in SR, so the only 3 in that.

Well, the building in the older version seems a bit stripped down and it doesn't declare winners, so the older version has some issues which prevent me from making the the older version the outright go-to Bamzooki game. Like I said, I'll chat with Joelu and S_M about this. For now, just make zooks in the SR version, as that's the version we've started with.Should we alternate between the two versions of the game inbetween tournaments (A la BBEANS1,3So what is the list of events that are happening?Well, despite the appearance of the better version, the tournament will be in SR, so the only 3 in that.

and 5 were stock, then 2,4 and 6 were DSL? I feek the older events are superior.

Bumping this just to mention that if you want to use the old events, you don't need to get the old Zook Kit working; you can simply copy the Contest Pack data from both the ContestPacks folder and the Contests folder to the BAMZOOKi SR version of the Zook Kit. I was having problems getting the old Zook Kit to run, however I found that the contests work fine on the SR version (even if the textures look a little off as they automatically get replaced with the SR textures) so there isn't any need to go to the old version, really.
Also, going back and forth between versions may be a hassle for some people, and considering that people have already had a fairly large amount of problems getting the Zook Kit to run in the first place, we should just use the SR version with the SR and original contests.
Also, we are defiantly still going ahead with the tourney. If you still want to make a team of Zooks for it, I think you still can (may have to check with Yugitom and see if he's still accepting entries)
hey does anyone here have a copy of the ORIGINAL zook kit? not the newer "street rules" edition/ also i have several zooks and many years of experience with zooks if this contest thing is still going on? ty in advance
Hey everyone. I have uploaded my copy of BAMZOOKi. I hope it works for all of you :)Have you read the thread? :P If so, you'd know that original copy has been recently provided to us by Masterath and the SR tourney is still accepting entries, up until the first video comes out.

ty, its just that copy was unfortunatly not working for me and neither was the contest file thing for adding the old contests to the SR version :( any tips?
As a massive fan from my early years who couldn't make anything but watched the hell out of the TV show I seem to remember centipede like Zooks where the most successful.They would kinda get screwed in the finals though. You needed a rather small zook for those.

Long time since I ever thought of BAMZOOKi, but heck, I still have the quarter finals framed BAMZOOKi poster hanging on my wall.. for those that have no idea what I'm talking about, myself and my team appeared in season III of BAMZOOKi as the "Basketball Superstars" (we really didn't give the name much thought, but hey, we were around 11 years old at the time, now nearly 23, ha!). I made all of the zooks that were a part of the show, including the modifications for our "uber-zook" in the final, which we ended up winning. We played against C2 in the quarters, Cheltenham Batapillars in the semis, and Canary Woolf in the finals.
Below is the framed poster - I've added a few green circles to show which were the ones from my team.
(http://image.prntscr.com/image/4ad69adfafe9480fb3e49bdd421467e8.png)
I was pretty active over at Canary Woolf's forums when that used to run.. THEMAGNIFICENTSHOE/Shoeman, Zog, mistywertys, Pinguster... some names I've found from a quick snooping around. Had a secret wee club developing the best in the world over there for a while, no idea when it dried up..
I was also personally contacted at a later date to get involved with the newer 'BAMZOOKi Street Rules' beta development kit, and made 3 house-zooks for that show (technically 4, as two were known as 'the twins' - Punka and Punkalicious, one had slower and broken movement cycles with green eyes, whereas the other was faster and had red eyes). I've highlighted them below:

Sooo.. yeah.
Hey everybody! Just thought I'd pop in, say hi, and uh.. see what's still going on in this world.
So I saw who you were and... hoo boy. I recognized your team right away. I would've never expected to see one of the series 3 grand finals winners here. Your team had my favorite Uber Zook too! I loved Alley Uber so much!
So much so that recently after seeing your final on YouTube, I tried to attempt the design myself.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75143hi imma big fan.png)
I'm going to blame the YouTube video quality as the cause for why this ended up flopping. Literally.
I could've never have guessed that you made some of the SR House Zooks... The two "twins" were my favorites when I was watching the program back in... whenever it aired.Cheers! They did go around all the creators to see if they would be interested in starring in a web interview about the house zooks but I was informed that there wasn't enough interest, so the creators of them remained anonymous I believe. Making them for the show was basically a constant back and forth between me and my contact, simplifying, reducing component counts etc.. they had big creative direction when it came to Peach, and they made me remove 80% of Centie's legs to keep components down haha!
I recognized the name "Pinguster". I never went on the Canary Woolf forums before, I just remember seeing a large number of zooks that were high-ranking in some of the trials with the name "Pingu" in them. First time I saw one, my reaction was the 7 year old who hadn't heard the word "sh**"'s equivalent of "OH sh**". Shoeman is someone I've only seen on YouTube so far, mainly from his custom contest video. I'm surprised custom contests are even a thing. I guess the community for Bamzooki was a little larger than I first thought. I'd love to find out more about the Canary Woolf forums and this "iLand Creator" I've been hearing about, but it's hard to find any real information on Bamzooki's community now.Aye, Pinguster and I seemed to share quite a bit back and forth in emails, THEMAGNIFICENTSHOE was all about Pokemon tournaments iirc, can't remember much else.
That aside, great to see you here!
jesus, a Bamzooki thread on a RA2 based forum attracted a former champ... if he enters the tourney... this guy may be a threat... a serious threat... also dunno if i should try to make a team for the tourney given that i have literally 0 experience with zook making (that i don't even know what event i must make the zooks for)
looks like the site(which surprisingly is still up) can only be accessed from the UK.Which site do you mean? The CBBC site for the original series was taken down long ago, and the one for SR is just one page with nothing really on it unfortunately.
Guess they wanted kids to still have engineering stuff to do, and what better way to do that than making it all virtual, no cost for parts or any of that, playing all that with augmented reality must've been fun and I can only imagine how a Robot Arena 2 like game would've worked with that.Yeah, it was great fun as a kid, and now I've nostalgia pulsing through my veins!
Nice to see that we got the series 3 champion here, you might enjoy Robot Arena 2.
