Garry's Wars

[Mystic2000]

if only i had garry s'mod i would enter this for sure, lame internet or not

[Mouldy]

Are you still doing the tutorial videos?

Yes. I will be doing them myself because I have a much sexier voice than KOS.

DP, lol

It took 5 hours and two failed prototypes, but I have emerged with a finished robot!
(Image removed from quote.)
no clue how heavy it is but considering its pretty darn big i'd class it in the superheavies.

Yeah that might be too heavy/big

If you upload it to the workshop and send me the link, we'll compare it with our own.

Innuendo

Awesome, some new entries. So, when is this going to happen? I live in the UK so GMT please ^^

The new dates will be reconsidered by myself and KOS. We'll post them when we've decided.



Firstly, welcome RoboBowler and Tibsy. You two and Badnik can send me your bots so me and KOS can decide what weight class they'd go in. We're not saying that they are your final entries, we're just comparing them with our own so you can get an idea of what size your robot has to be.

I'll make the tutorials in the morning.

[KOS]

I'll enter the event, I've got alot of experience with Garry's Mod.

Here's a demo of my robot I want to enter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwdLRV89-Rg&feature=youtu.be

I can't think of a name for it

Wow that looks like a seriously good bot :)


hello gtm :P

[Thyrus]

Browlers bot is exact the same as in the video badnik posted.
If I can come up with someting and if I know how to garrys mod I will enter

Sup. Firstly, thank you and Happy new Year.
Well I have a few bots to enter though... Its a shame you have a multi-bot rule. My main problem is choosing a bot to enter as I do have low-confidence with my entries so I might play around with Tubthumping (the bathtub bot) for a bit. I'll send you a link once I've finally decided, haha!

[RoboBowler]

Can we change the weight of props with the Weight STool? or are we supposed to leave the props as they are?

[Tibsy]

I have finished my bot and it took a lot of frustration on what bot to pick... So I just built one from scratch and went with it.

Here is the demonstration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAo-SAwH7PQ&feature=youtu.be
(sorry about the quality!)

And here's a clear picture of it:

How do you get yours to turn so well? I can't get thrusters to do that.

[yugitom]

Same here.

Also, how does one make a flipper? I am not familiar with GMod at all.

Well I used thrusters lol :3
Sadly due to YouTube being a moron during video processing I can't upload a tutorial that goes into detail with it. But thank you, (if you were talking about my bot lol)  maybe this could be my bots strength? A good turning circle! xD

I havent tried it, but I'm pretty sure it's similar to real life - mounting a piston to the arm and then hinging it.

[Tibsy]

I used to make flippers just using the ballsocket & thruster tool. The ballsocket for the flipper hinges and the thruster for the power. But now I use hydraulics, more unpredictable... And slightly more realistic..

[yugitom]

I thought I'd have a go and just got bored because I had a vague idea of what to do, so I just decided to have some fun and not think about realism or anything. This is the end result:

There are 3 thrusters at the back. There were two to begin with for just left and right but I couldn't go forward fast enough, so I put one in the middle of the two for forward and backward.

I like it, it looks like a robot out of that one Miniclip game lol


Is Gmod Free? I'm broke. Is there a torrent or anything for it? Where can I get it.

[Thyrus]

it`s 75% off at the moment. in europe you gotta pay 2,50€

[Kungfooey242]

I bought 10 steam dollars to buy Garry's Mod (which is $9.99) and now i have 1 cent in my steam account. So yah, it's usually $9.99 exactly on steam without sales.

[Mouldy]

There's been an update to the rules about realism.

It has been changed from:

** = Realism is what we aim for. If me or KOS believe that the robot is not realistic enough, you'll be asked to change the bot.

To:

** = Realism is what we aim for. Realism ONLY applies to how the bot manoeuvres. The way it's designed doesn't matter too much however, we can still disqualify you if we have a good reason too. If me or KOS believe that the robot is not realistic enough, you'll be asked to change the bot.

So is using thrusters to turn the bot left and right okay? Unless we're experienced with the WireMod (which I am not), there's no other way to turn our bots.

[Thyrus]

thrusters should be allowed. as long as it kinda moves realisticly

[Jonzu95]

Of course the thrusters should be allowed. They're used for turning.
