Title: Garry's Wars

===========================================

GARRY'S WARS - Administrated by Mouldy and RoboBowler. Moderated by KOS, Badnik, Ounce and Kossokai.
Based upon the idea of Robot Wars and Jonzu's Garry's Mod Robots

===========================================

Welcome to Garry's Wars, the new and fun way to battle robots!

We all come on to fight our own creations. We have tournaments of different sizes and with different building rules. Addon tools so that we can create extra destructive/stylish looking machines and finally, custom maps created by members of the community to fight on! (But mainly Robo's).

The server is up all the time so robots can be made whenever. Minimal Gmod knowledge is needed to make robots but it does help. A large majority of people on the server are very good with the addons that are used so most people can help you with things.

Tournaments happen whenever (normally when there is a large group of people in the Discord VC). Friendly matches also occur extremely often. Some tournaments are more structured though, normally, replicating a similar style of tournament creation found on here (GTM).

Play around with things and see how you get on.

Put it this way, me and KOS had no clue what to do when we first started. We just looked at a couple of videos on Youtube just showcasing some flippers.

Then we just messed around and got a flipper and HS working in our first day. (It did take us about 4 hours of constant playing though)

If you really are stuck, me and KOS can help you by showing you on KOS's server. You'll need Hamachi though.

Or, we could make videos... Which would you guys prefer?

Right.

I'm back, don't know for how long. I'm currently using my grand dad's computer. I only have half a day to use this but hopefully, my computer will be fixed on Sunday. Videos will come within the next week if my computer starts running on Sunday. If not, it'll be next week.

Sorry for the delays.

the thing at the top spins at a pretty high velocity
Also, how will they fight since there is no AI system?

And one last thing, is this kinda how it's gonna be?:

Basically you can even make your own arenas by using the props.
Title: Re: Garry's Wars (Robot Wars in Garry's Mod)
Post by: Tibsy on December 28, 2014, 01:45:22 PM
I've got Garry's Mod and have played a gamemode called 'Garry's Bots' way back in 2009.
I would love for more people to take part in this. And also, there are already some people who have made their own version of the Robot Wars arena in the map maker. No need to cluster the servers up with homemade arenas using the props.

Anyways. I'm in!

Here's my bot: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/15919TibsysBot.png)

And my map suggestion: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7893GMODrobotwarsarena.png)

I've even gone the full way to make some arena accessories, for example: The Pinball Warrior Tournament, so far I've made the ramp and multiball release. The barrels, sphere & multiballs are obviously there but they're not builds of course! lol.

They will fight while controlled by the user that built & owns the bot. Simple :3

That really depends on how good the server is and also your connection to it.
And also the bots people have made aren't that big so if we keep them at that size we would avoid lag to an extent.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR19KmJu3h0# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR19KmJu3h0#)

I'll fiddle with some stuff in GMod tomorrow and see if I can't crank out a prototype to the design I thought of.

Codename is "WingRabbit" (yes that is a reference)

It took 5 hours and two failed prototypes, but I have emerged with a finished robot!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/27766gmod_robot.png)
no clue how heavy it is but considering its pretty darn big i'd class it in the superheavies.

That's the problem when you get the freedom to build stuff, you can't think up anything to build, or think up a name for your build. LOL.
What I did was reference to what my bot was built from, for example it has an upturned bathtub on it, so I called it TUBthumping. Tub being a reference to the bathtub and Tubthumping being a reference to Chumbawumba, haha.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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..

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.

They are allowed.


To show that I'm not dead, today, I made some simple robots.

Sorry for the DP but this is important.

Before the Tournament:
You will have 30-60 mins to fix and change the weight of the robots on the server. Robots may only be tested before this time and cannot be changed after the first fight has begun!

I thought I would chip-in with a tutorial of my own:

How to do Tank-style Steering.

Setting up your robot like this does not require any thrusters.
(You'll want a controller for this.)

Setting up the wheels:

wheels for the LEFT SIDE of the robot
set forward has DOWN on the left stick
set backward has UP on the left stick

wheels for the RIGHT SIDE of the robot
set forward has UP on the right stick
set backward has DOWN on the right stick

Done! That's it.

wheels for the RIGHT SIDE of the robot
set forward has UP on the right stick
set backward has DOWN on the right stick

Done! That's it.


Thank you for your contribution. Would you mind if I put this in the main post?

Of course not :3

I'll announce it in a post and also change the name of the thread.

An update on KOS' relation to the project:

He's been ignoring me for the last few days and seems to have no interest in this any longer. I have informed him that if he doesn't respond in a week, he's out.

There is a certain way to weld components together without the wobble, sadly you might have to search this up as I was having the same issue with a plate that was originally on the end of my flipper to ease its way under other bots. So you're not on your own dude.

Well, the weight of the props you're using can cause wobbly connections, and from what I see in the image, you are using a robotic claw piece which has a weight of 650.
650 is pretty high, considering the rest of the props you are using have a low weight of about 50 to 100.
Light props can't support heavy props that well, so glitches will probably occur often.

What you could do to fix this:
•Pick a lighter prop
•Change the weight of the prop
•Pick different supporting pieces
•Use more constraints to hold it in place
•Use the 'No-collide' tool to stop the pieces glitching together

I thought I would chip-in with a tutorial of my own:

How to do Tank-style Steering.

Setting up your robot like this does not require any thrusters.
(You'll want a controller for this.)

Setting up the wheels:

wheels for the LEFT SIDE of the robot
set forward has DOWN on the left stick
set backward has UP on the left stick

wheels for the RIGHT SIDE of the robot
set forward has UP on the right stick
set backward has DOWN on the right stick

Done! That's it.

I tried doing this but it didn't seem to work...

It definitely does work, I just tested again.

One of these could be the problem:
•Had the 'Torque' setting too low
•Had 'Friction' setting to high
•Had 'Toggle' mode on
•The chassis you used was too heavy
•Wired it wrong
•You accidentally changed the rotation of a wheel

Hope this helps. If it does not, tell me and I will make a video showing how to do set it up.

Depending on what 'arena' that'll be used for the tournament, I assume the mapmakers have made the 'booths' for the GMod roboteers to use to control their bot while overlooking the arena instead of no clipping about the place.

UPDATE.

A few additions to how the fights will be recorded and to the series.

Within Garry's Mod, we are open to use cameras. This means that I can take videos of the fight from anywhere across the arena and still get the best action. Some cameras will be static and others will be moving.

The music will not be of my own composition but of music from the game Xenoblade Chronicles.
'Gaur Plain'
'Gaur Plain Night'
'You Will Know Our Names'
'Unfinished Battle'

'Xenoblade Chronicles Medley' will be the main theme of Garry's Wars.

The arena may have more hazards than previously expected. This may be put into use for Series 2 however. And yes, I can already confirm that they'll be a Series 2.

And finally, after a test thanks to RoboBowler and KOS, we have learnt that a 3 robot melee is possible as it doesn't cause lag. It is possible we'll integrate this into Series 2.

Thank you.

With Series 2, it'll take me and KOS a lot longer to create due to all the changes from Series 1 so it will take longer to prepare and stuff. I will also be much more organised hopefully so sign-ups will come early and the date will be announced with the sign-ups which should enable you to build your robots on time.

I can finally announce, with out a doubt, that the tournament will be held in the coming weeks!

The music list will be posted on the front page. It will be changed from Xenoblade Chronicles to something a little less exhilarating and something more steam-punky to fit the theme more.

After discussing with RoboBowler about possible changes to the arena, we have decided on a better design which people should enjoy more. It will be posted along with a music list in the coming days.

   The music is more upbeat than the original Robot Wars fight theme but less than the Xenoblade Chronicles songs that were initially planned.

Also, it's clear to me that some people are trying to push back this tournament further just to frustrate others and myself. Votes on later dates will now need a reason for why you're wanting to delay the rest of us. If it's a genuine reason then it will be counted, if not or there is no reason at all, the vote will not count.

Yeah, that's why he's complaining. I believe the majority of the people joining will be much more awake during the event if it was pulled back a couple of hours, which is Robo did. It would make more sense that, if the host was using GMT, it would much earlier than 10 PM.

I almost feel like there's actually too much editing for me to actually take it seriously... For instance, I couldn't help but snigger when there was a replay of a flip.

But it's still vastly superior to what I've created and it's still amazing.

Title: Re: Garry's Wars : Series 1.5.3 for Lightweights Results Tomorrow... maybe
Post by: ShadowDrake77 on April 10, 2015, 02:01:38 PM
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. Whenever he plays it, the video gets to a specific section, and it gets played again. This is both before and after render in the video, settings are set to 60fps. Strangely, it gets fixed at 30, but it has major slowdown like in the taster video. We have tried pretty much everything we could think of, yet still no luck.

It's a weird and unique type of problem and I can't see anything you may have done wrong but I don't have the best look at it. Does it have anything to do with the program you used to record with?

I got some things.

We have a new weightclass, the featherweights. The Featherweights come with a new weight limit of 120, and a brand new arena just for them.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/612552015-04-15_00001.jpg)

Me, MKB and yugitom have tested the idea, and they are really fun.

I also have been editing the other arenas for the next series.
I altered the Lightweight Arena to be like the Robot Wars Series 2 arena, and I made a brand new, completely from scratch Heavyweight arena.

Also, I cannot wait to compete in the FW class. I just bloody love 'em to bits, both in real life and in GMod. With me, the smaller the weight class, the more appealing it is for me.

You should probably change the video's thumbnail because right now, it's spoiling the bots going in the semis and who just lost their battle. Also next time, could you at least clarify somewhere who made what bot and what bot is which please?


Other than that, the video is excellent. I feel I should my hands on Gmod someday.

A meeting shall be called with myself, KOS and Robo. We'll discuss how we'll make this bigger and assign roles to make this as effective as possible.

We have a good thumbnail that will be used for future videos. We'll make sure that the thumbnail is placed on this and the future ones asap.

If you recall from Series 3/4 of Robot Wars, there was a Stats page for each robot. This will be added in Series 2. This will mean that it'll take more time to edit however the finish product will be much better.

You should. In fact, I may do some giveaways of Garry's Mod if I have any money laying around.

In order to keep this afloat. I will be posting all my new bots that I create, just to show the guys that don't have Garry's Mod.

Robo and I also discussed in a recent meeting about video tutorials. I can now confirm that these will be coming after Series 1 has been published.

Robo will do tutorials on how to make the average bot and move on to flippers. I will be showing different types of weapons and how to drive a bot effectively. (Though driving a bot may sound simple, to drive it effectively is a different matter)

As an update for Series 2, I believe that proper planning needs to be in place to grow the hype so that we get more entrants, not just from GTM. This means it will take longer but it'll be worth the wait.

Yeah, every time we play the map we keep finding ways of improving them or finding some annoying errors in it, such as tiny bumps which prevent bot movement. I am positive that Robo will just post any final versions of the maps here, so there is no need to worry, since we are mainly just testing them to make sure they are as good as they can be. :)

Let's just put this out here to make sure everyone understands.

1. The bots in this heavyweight recordings were generally upgrades of previous robots and therefore, a lot of second versions are in this.
2. I won the first recording.
3. This is the last restart of ANY future Garry's Wars.

Robo said he'd be making a bot making tutorial soon that teahces how to make stuff like flippers, so it'll be more fleshed out than Mouldy's tutorial on how to make a simple rammer. Not sure when that'll be a thing, though. :P However, like Thyrus said, me and Robo would definitely teach you the ropes if you came onto the server at any point.

He's using the RW:ED arena floor image I think, I don't think it's massively necessary to move it seem as though it doesn't come into play in most of the match.

For those who haven't been keeping up with progress lately, Garry's Wars Season 2 is coming at the end of July, which seems to be when everyone (most people) is available. So, get to building if you want a good bot for the event. Come on the server if you need any help.

Robo and/or Mouldy are meant to sorting out a specific date very soon as people are held up until around the end of July, so I'd say you're looking past the 20th or something like that.

Mouldy is lazy as hell, so I'd stick with the rules on the member page. If you have any concerns about the rules, just talk to me or Robo on Steam. Our names there are our GTM names.

I'm hosting GMod Battlebots in celebration of a new series of Battlebots next summer!
The main rules will stay the same (which you can read here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/garryswars (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/garryswars)).

All fights will be in the the 2015 Battlebox.
The tourney layout will be the same as the show, with 24 robots.
For this competition the weight limit has been increased to 1250kg.
Only Heavyweights may compete.
Hosted on the 12th of December. (possibly two days)

As it stands now, me and Tibbles will be the colour and play-by-play commentators respectively. I won't be entering as I will use Battlebots as an opportunity to relax and help out in the pits, so if you have a super secret weapon you need help with, feel free to consult me and I'll give you a helping hand.

If I'm not on, I'd recommend talking to Robo and possibly KOS or The Ounce.

The reason I am posting this is because this is my chance to give to the community of Garry's Wars and help any apprehensive and aspiring builders that will drop it because they don't think they are good enough. Mouldy's tutorial helps with the bedrock foundations of building but nothing more, you are best off learning from the Vets. I'll try my best to do some tutorials of my own for the more needed basics and tips.

tl;dr I'll help anyone who feels they can't build well.

Letting everyone know that signups close on December 12. Also, we have a group that meets nearly every day on the server to build and battle, so if you're interested don't be afraid to hop on!

I should show off a few of the machines I've been working on but most of them are pretty trash so far so idk.

This can't be said enough. If you want to check the place out, seriously just drop on in. The best way to learn is to come in, build a bot, get some tips, learn the rules, and watch our bots fight. Once you build your first good bot, the process is like clockwork.

Don't be afraid to build a crappy robot. That's going to happen. My first robot was an absolute crapshoot in the weight that it was originally built for.

If you like robot combat at all- ra2, the robot wars games, the arc robotic roleplay (or whatever y'all do) forums, all the different shows, even if you just got into it by building your own- you're going to like it.

Just to let you guys know that we are still running the server and whatnot. We generally have around 6-8 people on in the evenings, GMT-wise.

We would love to see more of you join and do more competitions. (Note that these mini competitions that we do aren't always recorded and more of just for fun).

I will get round to redoing the original post as it is horribly out of date with new, correct information. Plus the addition of video tutorials for creating robots in the game.

If you wish to join, here is the IP and port: 185.38.148.62 Port: 27285
You will also need this pack: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=408423647 (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=408423647)  to join.

All you have to do to download these things is press the "Subscribe to All" button.

I believe there is more you have to download once you get into the server but it isn't too much. Just some models/textures.

Have a good day.

How do you know how many people we have on generally, Mouldy? The last time you were on was ages ago. But, he's right. Such famous names like Craaig and Thyrus have joined us. We aim to have Trov, ACAMS and JimXOrb with us in the next few months.

it's common to start with a rammer first. Spinners are probably the next thing up from that, and flippers afterwards.

There are no good hammers. Robo has made Stag and a HW clamp which are good. Robo has never made a good hammer. A good hammer will be the sign of a brilliant builder.

Just like to show people some of the advancements we've made in terms of design.

My first robot and KOS' first robot that we made almost 2 years ago. We used motors, wheel tool and thrusters.

Mine and KOS' later bots, E.T.A and Phantasm. Robots at this point were created with motors, wheel tool, hydraulics and thrusters.

Coalition II and Magnus. Two of my current robots. Robots shown here are created with axis, hydraulics and thrusters.

You aren't doing something wrong, it's just there has a been an update for Garry's Mod, and I forgot to update my server :3

I figured it's time to show off some of the robots I've built on the server. This is a "Greatest Hits" of sorts, there's a bunch of failed prototypes and crappy old robots that I won't be showing off. :V

Is Steel Syko actually "the first fully fuctioning ring spinner"? Seems like a pseudo ring spinner, to me.

Look who we got for commentary!
You actually made it sound like you got an actual commentator.  Still a good episode regardless.
It's nothing official. I just got this from Robo and took the initiative. Heat A in it's entirety, with Robo as the commentator, will come out very soon.

14 months later...

Since Badnik did that too, i might as well, here is a bunch of the bots i made on the server, none of these have got a single victory so far cause either the design or the driver sucks (and in quite a few instances, both):

Interested to see what the results would be. Would love to try and interest some more people from GTM.

My option is missing:

Yes I used to go there but then my laptop died and I had to replace it with a sh**tier one that doesn't run gmod and now personal life take up too much time anyway.
