Roboforge

[System32]

Twas the winner.

@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.

OK...
1. You can do that? I'll reinstall. *Wait for results*
2. Not anymore. That EXE doesn't even work.
3. Windowed. It still seems to have some of my previous data (2 failed bot designs)
4.
- XP 32-bit
- Hmm.. you just mean my CPU then..  I guess it's an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+
- Just a frozen workshop. Nothing special.
- There's nothing special in the output. Apparently I was going through the available parts, then it just suddenly ends (When I right click on the workspace)

UPDATE: Don't have and can't find this version "1.34-02" you're speaking of. Can only find 1.34 on the Demo page. No visible multi-core option.
UPDATE 2: Reinstalled 1.34 anyway, everything has changed - the DLLs for DirectX and OpenGL do not work (Something about the splash being an unrecognized option) , but the EXE does. However the workshop is now off limits.

He scored by attacking my legs, and the rest of the match was my bot chasing him around the arena edge.

now THAT Nayar is Ghey Wining in robot combat, nobody likes a sandbagger... should take up R/C racing instead of combat

[Badnik96]

Twas the winner.

I lost to him in Round 2 with my new hammer bot.

@Redline
Well, it's a doubleface:
- nice side: I'm happy because You probably will fix all your problem after download package 1-34-02  from DOWNLOAD section: http://www.roboforge.altervista.org (I checked right now: seems to work well)
- bad side: how many other people download "old" version 1.34 from "old" web site and quit the game because it crash?

@Badnick: everyone loose vs nednill at least one time. Poor Ned is always greatful..... Don't worry about it

@system32: hhhmmm ....  Aspo 2035 (winner) met:
1st round: Tankazoid (I didn't touch him at all. It just crash towards a wall)
2nd round: Maniac Surgeon (Badnick). Do You know guy? That bot could even win the tourney. Sometimes it still beat me!!
3rd round : myself (Alter 1289)
4th round: Greenmeanielight (Phantom2000)

So, who are You? perhaps myself

OK,I'll go back to RA2...

BTW: I'll open a Roboforge Challenge Room this night. If someone want some kick...
 

[System32]

Hmm, I was using Hykonetos.

[somestrangeguy]

@Badnick: everyone loose vs nednill at least one time. Poor Ned is always greatful..... Don't worry about it

Exept me, I never lost against him, just failed to destroy him a few times.

Also, whenever Im deleting a bot I dont want it just asks me Do I want to? And I answer Yes, then It just says instantly Bot deleting failed, Cancelling Deletion...

After that I cant see the bot in Open Bot, but sometimes I can see the supposedly deleted ones when I choose an opponent...

I'd fight you if my computer were'nt so darn laggy right now.

And maybe  S32 was talking about the Alter? you have so many killers I lost track :P

And who made Tankazoid? (Just curious)

[Sparkey98]

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

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

You are now sentenced to death by the Rooty Tooty Aim  and Shooty.

[Badnik96]

Thank you for stealing my joke and misspelling it.

[Sparkey98]

Misspelling?

[Badnik96]

It's the Rooty Tooty Aim AND Shooty.

[Hydro]

This game sounds interesting.

*Downloads*

*Tries it out*


D;


...Any way to go fullscreen?

That's great! I'll get to downloading it and see how it goes.
The problem with people going for 1.34 is that the old Roboforge site is still technically the official one - the Robot Arena 2 one may be active yet dead, but atleast it links people to Gametechmods through the Forum link. Something needs to be done to the old website to bring a link to the new one. I don't know.

@System32
So You met Alter and not Aspo ...   and You haven't leg in your bot (it's an hoover chassis)   ...  and Alter wasn't scared by Hyconetos, just controlled the situation
hhhmmm... let's count:
1) Alter and not Aspo
2) no legs
3) no scares

Total 3 lies...  hhmmm.... Prince of Lies.... I can do much better:
1) I had 10000 girlfried
2) I drive a Ferrari
3) I'm a Genius
 

no seriously...    Congrats because You made your own bot in a short time and it has a wondeful RA2 look.
I'm trying to do the opposite: Creating a RA2 Aspo (not so far from 1st crappy version)


@Somestrangeguy
Congrats! You detected a well known RF bug. 
Anyway if You want to delete a bot:
- Workshop
- click on open bot
- select bot
- click on Delete (confirm Yes)  (.... and up to here there's nothing strange)
- Ignore the message "Could not delete bot" (OK)
- Click on "X" Right (even the hourglass is still "running") --> You will leave Workshop, but the bot will be cancelled

@Badnick
Yeah Tankazoid
 I avoided to write the name because the name is (not kidding): "JustinBeiberWishesHeHadMy...."

@Hydro
You could  but RF guros says that windowed mode looks much more stable (I use fullscreen in my old Pentium4, I can't see any difference).
Anyway if You want to have a try:
- open an empty txt file (let's say Fullmode.txt") inside the Roboforge installation folder
- write the following:  procaff /run 2 roboforge.exe  (as I assume You are using a multicore CPU)
- save the file and rename it as Fullmode.cmd
- double click on cmd file

@Redline
Yes, I "arranged" the new web site and I'm in contact with the old web site admnistrator to replace it with new one (I mailed him yestarday all files)
I also purposed a "fast" redirect to new site, but He said it's not possible. Really don't know why.

@You all.
1. This community is much more "vital" then "sleeping" RF community (and I stop this thing here because I really don't want to be offensive)
2. Now I remind Why I like so much RF: because I'm toooo bad with any kind of controller (keyboard included)

[Badnik96]

I'm trying to do the opposite: Creating a RA2 Aspo (not so far from 1st crappy version)
I tried to in DSL, failed because of weapon instability

@Badnick
Yeah Tankazoid
 I avoided to write the name because the name is (not kidding): "JustinBeiberWishesHeHadMy...."
Really? lol

[Badnik96]

DP

Entered a FlyWeight tourney with my new bot, called Malignant Virus.

[Hydro]

(as I assume You are using a multicore CPU)

No I am not. I'm using a Pentium 4.

[Badnik96]

Yay! I have now learned how to create good AI so Turbo Ninja won't lose to Nednil again!

[Fredd67]

@Hydro:  well, with a P4 theoretically You just need to double click on roboforge.exe to get a fullscreen run. I do this with my old P4 (even RF fullscreeen mode is a little bit invasive)

Ok, I've made my RA2 Aspo (picture attached) but ...
... I'm a nut .Even I tried to read some tutorial I didn't find replies to my question, so I'm a a nut and I place here (out of topics, sorry) some questions:

1. I put all my efforts to stay in Middleweight but I feel that some bot in Event Schedul are not Middleweight. Where can I see the class of the opponents  in Event Schedul?
2. Now some of You know what AI means for RF. Is possible to do something similar with RA2?
3. How can I battle someone online? Do I really need to install Hamachi or GameSpy is still active?
