Hey bud.

Fredd67 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 29, 2010, 06:24:40 PM »

OK, thanks Sparkey98 I noticed and fixed some download problem.

Now www.roboforge.altervista.org -->download should work fine.

I remark again: please note that probably You are running RF installation over a MultiCore CPU (as Single Core are crap) so during installation select the correct
checkbox.

On my side I successfully downloaded files of RA2... OK I'll start to have a look tomorrow...(time for bed now)

Pls do not install version 1.34 but just 1.34-02 (according to instruction included into DOWNLOAD section).

So thats why my game failed! I downloaded the 1.34 version

OK, who here entered the Featherweight Trials (scheduled to start tomorrow)? There are 11 entries and I know the usual entry number is around 5 or 6. I entered twice, with a revised Turbo Ninja and a new hammer bot I made, called the Maniacal Surgeon. Who else entered?

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #26 on:** June 30, 2010, 01:32:08 PM »

I haven't yet, so far I only made 2 failbots, 1 Hammer wich I couldn't figure out how to make it work so I scrapped it before I realized the Moves tab and 1 Spinner wich could only defeat the testbot #0 and in 9 seconds too.

Imma practice abit more before entering anywhere.

@Badnik: Yeah, I knew of Roboforge a long while before this thread, and there's a tourney history which I believed included such tournies.

~~I'd play and compete in that RF tourney but the game returns to desktop when I run it. Mysterious.~~
Fixed that but it crashes so much. Has none of the reliability I remembered.

Fredd67 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 30, 2010, 05:33:59 PM »

@badnik: I entered two bot

@Redline: post me if You need help

@You all: damns! I made my first RA2 bot and kicked out @ 2nd round rookie tournament!!
I modified Smasher and made a crap spinner which spin sooo slooow (red bird spin motor)..

I need a lot of training....

BTW:
1) No crash at all up to know with RA2
2) is ther any way to rotate parts after connected?
3) is there any way to save a complete limb (more part in connection) and then recall it.?

hhmmm .. sorry for out of topics

2 - Not in the bot lab but you can do it if you tinker with the bot file
3 - Roughly same thing

Smasher? You mean Atom Smasher? Yeah, Redbirds don't spin that fast. Use a Z-Tek.

and at my @- NOEZ now I' gonna lose. Your bots (in Roboforge) pwn.

Thanks for the offer.
My game freezes totally while right clicking in the (RF) bot lab. If it doesn't it lasts about 20 or so before freezing, forcing me to end Java.exe itself to close the game.

Fredd67 · « **Reply #32 on:** July 01, 2010, 06:37:46 AM »

Hey BadNick, You re-created completly (or a significative part) of a stick-bot (body, chassis, mod. AI) !!! Are You really a new bie

?

Anyway congrats

for last 30k tourney and thanks for RA2 tip (yeah, it was ATOM smasher).

@Naryar: thanks for explanation. I'll try to go trough this

@Redline: sorry but I have to place here a list of stupid questions (to be checked in sequence):
1. Did You select Multicore CPU check box during installation? (As I suppose you are using a Dual Core or higher). If not uninstall Roboforge through:
START->Programs --> Roboforge -->Uninstall
and then reinstall "roboforge_setup_1-34-02.exe" selecting correct check box.
2. Are You running the program through the shortcut created during installation? I recommend to don't run the program through double click on "roboforge.exe"
3. When RF start is it in windows mode or full screen?
4. Could you post:
- Your operating system (pls specify 32 or 64bit)
- CPU architecture
- a print screen
- output.txt file (it's inside "..\Roboforge" folder)
5. RF has been set to run OpenGL dll as default. Could You try to run RF (in some way) and select:
"Options-->DirectX" then "Save and Exit". Close the program and run it again.
If You can't get any benefits from DirectX settings restore OpenGL.

Nah, I found a hammer bot download on the Roboforge site and edited it a little.

Fredd67 · « **Reply #34 on:** July 01, 2010, 09:31:19 AM »

Bad Bad guy

BTW that's what I hate in old web site. There's a lot of powerful bot there and most of newbie just download a bot, enter it in next tounrament and then leave

New installation package and new web site should stop this. All new demo bot are "self-protected" and will explode if entered into a tournament.

Anyway, good choice

Badnik96 · « **Reply #35 on:** July 01, 2010, 09:52:32 AM »

Yeah, but my other bot (Turbo Ninja) lost to a Nednil. (I'm not kidding)

System32 · « **Reply #36 on:** July 01, 2010, 09:53:38 AM »

Made a new bot, Planning to win.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 01, 2010, 10:27:46 AM »

How'd you do in today's tourney, S32?

System32 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 01, 2010, 10:33:34 AM »

My opponent was so scared he ran away.

I lost due to points. (He scored by attacking my legs, and the rest of the match was my bot chasing him around the arena edge.)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #39 on:** July 01, 2010, 10:46:58 AM »

What was the bot and builder you lost to? Was it an Aspo?
