Title: New Robot combat game- in progress.
Post by: goose on October 26, 2009, 12:06:36 AM
Ok, A buddy and I were toying around with the idea of creating a new robot combat game, and decided to use the bullet physics engine.
 
While doing research my buddy found an awesome thread over at the bullet forums:
http://bulletphysics.org/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3699&sid=9563bc5f810040f8b0528d7a39ff7e1b
 
Someone Has already started making a new robot combat game! Yes, its true. :)
 
 
in that thread there is a link to a small demo of what he has so far:
http://www.tomduggan.net/download/botapp0_1.zip
 
uploaded a mirror to gametechmods:
https://gametechmods.com/files/botapp0_1.zip
after unzipping rename "botapp.asdf" to "botapp.exe"
 
then lanch the game.
 
its really cool so far, if I do say so myself.
 
From what I have gathered:
 
-it is made with C++
-models are made in MilkShape (Free, unlike 3dsmax)
-made with the bullet physics engine(FREE), rated the third best physics engine today.
 
 
I am in the middle of contacting him right now. letting him know he has an entre comunity backing him.
 
So play, and let us know what you think.

Wow. If you could fuse RA2's ability to construct bots with that combat system, it would be incredible. That guy's amazing.

EDIT: The one flaw I did notice though is with the control scheme. Driving with one hand is difficult, and so is operating certain weapons. I hope that we get to see the finished product of this. It should be spectacular.

Post by: JoeBlo on October 26, 2009, 01:47:54 AM
truly awesome, its the most realistic robot combat game and its the only non retail one :P much better then the robot wars games haha

shame we never got the source code for RA2 we could have combined the battle system :-D

Edit: ^^ yes the control system was a bit difficult one handed

Dammit, goose. You got me addicted to another game. >:E

And I see Do-All in the textures folder. >=D

Some of the topics in the Bullet forums are interesting reads. :D

This is an over-all working skeleton that could be fleshed out. A lot of the primal framework is done... hehe.
 
Nice features:

-it is made with C++
-models are made in MilkShape (Free, unlike 3dsmax)
-made with the bullet physics engine(Free), rated the third best physics engine today.

I went through the files and it looks well thought-out (and 'mod-able' too)...
AND.... the guy's asking for feedback to improve it.
 
 
Oh, and the 'controls' are no problem, guys...
 
 
Glad you're contacting this guy, Goose. Let us know what he says...
(I may join that forum....)
 
Coolness!

Nightmare is the most fun, except when your winning and an impact tips you over :P

Ripping stuff up with Nightmare (once you've got the controls nailed) has never been so much fun.

Dang... This looks like WIN!

Hopefully he will complete it unlike all the other attempts that didnt go beond planning stage...

Post by: MikeNCR on October 26, 2009, 02:32:43 PM
some control adjustments, or at least the ability to do so, and more robots would be nice, but overall, a very nice game.

Nightmare is the best so far, the bots I want in the game are Razer or Warhead.

Post by: RedSawn on October 27, 2009, 08:04:23 PM
Not here. No slowdowns, heck, can say that the game runs too fast. A little.
Title: New Robot combat game- in progress.
Post by: russian roulette on October 27, 2009, 08:18:54 PM
If you close everything the game runs just as fast as RA2, maybe even better than it!
Title: New Robot combat game- in progress.
Post by: somestrangeguy on October 28, 2009, 01:23:24 PM
Mine only lagged in battles beetween Minion and Frenzy. Nightmare IMO is overpowered, if you can stay upright and pointed at the enemy, you will most likely win.

Best battle I had with Nightmare was that when I KOd Minion at 180 seconds of round time, thats half a second before it would have been a win by points :D

Hey Craig
Sorry I took so long to respond.  I'm glad you guys like it, I appreciate all the kudos.  I'm not sure what the future of the project is though - the source code is on a laptop that died about a month ago.  I'm going to see what I can do about recovering some things from the hard drive, but I also just moved, and the HD is with some of my things at my old place still (on the opposite coast).  And beyond that, I made the whole game at a time when I had a whole lot more free time than I do now :(

..but I'll let you know.  Step 1 is recovering the source code.

Thanks again, and pass on the thanks to everyone on the forum too!

nice work Craig (why is there an extra a in your username? lol)

if only we got the source for RA2 we could have built the 2 games together :P (well somebody very talented could have built the games together haha)

shame to hear about the fate of this games source code too, seems to be a happening thing with cool robot games and source codes lol

Make sure you have your graphics card driver up to date. Go to nvidia or ATI/AMD and search for your card.

whats the controls for nightmare?
i know what the disc is and one of the wheels
Title: Re: New Robot combat game- in progress.
Post by: cephalopod on December 03, 2009, 12:43:58 PM
the controls for every bot are the same.
W - forward with left wheel
S - back with left wheel
E - forward with right wheel
D - back with right wheel
Space - Weapon

So basically, holding W and E makes you go forward :P

True, but they made sense.  That control scheme is closer how you have to drive most bots in real life.

BTW has anyone tried emailing the guy?

Title: Re: New Robot combat game- in progress.
Post by: Sparkey98 on June 21, 2010, 10:11:58 PM
I think it's the inner code that runs everything, that contains the download source.
Title: Re: New Robot combat game- in progress.
Post by: Noodle on June 22, 2010, 01:56:57 AM
It's basically the game's mainframe.  Without it, you can't edit the actual game more than it allows you to currently.

Yes, although not only values.

Here's how a .exe (machine code) is made:

C++ source code ---(compiler)---> Assembly ---(assembler)---> Machine Code
Where Assembly is 1:1 Machine Code, except operands and opcodes (instructions executed by the CPU) are not mere 1's and 0's, but mnemonic words that help read it (eg, instead of 0x80 we got NOP, which means No Operation). What I do is take Machine Code, run a disassembler from it, and get assembly. Then I use a decompiler (also called my brain) which lets me imagine what source code the assembly might have been created from. Then I modify the assembly (and machine code) once I know what part does what. Essentially, I'm mapping out the executable.

At least I was. Right now I'm without my development box and stuck on my netbook.

This game has no depth, you cannot easily create your own robot, and its not that great.

Although I understand this is a work-in-progress :P

Either way, this is a great start already. I hope you guys can really finish it. I know only basic C++, so I don't think I could help much, but this is pretty cool

Hey. It's sky here :/ Natef told me to sign up? Lol. I'm kinda likin' this design, but the spiral graphics could use a little tweaking. Get Torque 3-D. It'll help. It has some smart-graphics and C++ moderators to help eliminate the need of Anistropic filtering. Try Trilinear filtering. The edges will become smoother and you won't see any bypass fade. :D Besides that, the design is a total WIN.

Sorry I took so long to respond.  I'm glad you guys like it, I appreciate all the kudos.  I'm not sure what the future of the project is though - the source code is on a laptop that died about a month ago.  I'm going to see what I can do about recovering some things from the hard drive, but I also just moved, and the HD is with some of my things at my old place still (on the opposite coast).  And beyond that, I made the whole game at a time when I had a whole lot more free time than I do now :(

..but I'll let you know.  Step 1 is recovering the source code.

Thanks again, and pass on the thanks to everyone on the forum too!

@RPJK (if you still read this after so long): Sadly it's impossible to create "useful" source code out of a binary. It is possible to create a "source code file" from a binary that will compile, but that's not useful. All the variables will names like "awf2f" instead of "number_of_bullets_left". Despite common belief source code is for humans, not for computers.

Oh dear, oh dear. How can people always lose source code in some way? Even the bigger projects only are 1MB of source code in total.

If I ever get my hands on a lot of free time I am willing to make "RA3". Before you start yelling "NOT GOING TO HAPPEN" and "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT", yes I do. I can't handle it alone, but if we can get a team together (maybe with http://gamedev.net/ (http://gamedev.net/)) we can do it.

Surely modifying an existing game engine (such as Valve's Source engine or the Unreal Engine) would be easier and better than starting from scratch? Bear in mind that most game engines are derived from the Quake engine.

Couldn't you at least try creating something with nig-rig soft body physics using rigid body physics?  I mean, it'd be best just to get a robot combat game out there so you can build up enough steam to get one with a proper soft-body physics engine done.

Something like GTA:IV's car crash deforming system (though done with a much better physics engine):

There are a few problems with that, in my opinion:
  • most of the engines have a very unflexible API, with concepts that are not needed in a RA-like game, yet have to be used in order to use the engine to its full potential This is true when it comes to the Unreal Engine, but bear in mind that the source engine was designed to have new features added and for it to modified - HL2 Cinematic mod springs to mind.
  • ...which implies that a lot of custom boilerplate code would have to be written anyway, and, in my opinion, starting from scratch is as good or even better (as you develop the whole architecture from the ground up, and can make everything tailored to your specific needs) A very good point. However a counter argument could say that it would take a lot of time building a completely new engine from scratch. What I suggest is build a new engine but take some elements from existing engines.
  • I know the obvious candidates (Source, Unreal, ...) don't have physics engines that I'd like to have in the game. They're boring rigid-body engines, and using only these would mean creating something awfully similar to RA2. There is one exception into which I will look, and that is incorporating the Bullet physics engine into any sort of current game engines, as it offers some soft-body physics, and is open source. I'm not entirely certain what you mean by soft-body physics. I understand you thinking that the Havok engine could be classed as boring, but it is realistic, and a certain degree of realism needs to be implemented into the game.
  • personal taste, eg: Source being a bit old-ish and too tied with their internal physics engine, Unreal focusing on 'brown' FPS games... Completely true when it comes to Unreal. However, despite Source's age, it still goes on, and is capable of many different things, if you know what you're doing.


What I suggest is to have a new game engine which has aspects from several other game engines (BSP map format for example), plus a good physics system which won't be too mediocre.


I would love to help on this project.

Post by: nightcracker on July 31, 2011, 08:10:54 AM
Guys, a game engine is pretty much worthless for a game like RA2, because there isn't a robotic game engine. An engine is used to simplify expressing game logic, and there is no logic in RA2 apart from the AI. And even the AI must be handcoded, just like it was in RA2 (with the Python files).

What we need is:

The first I'm not so sure of, there's a lot of choice here.

The second I have a candidate for, I am very interested in Irrlicht: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/ (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/)

The third will probably be Python or even Lua. I'm working on a scripting language myself, but that's more of a personal project that I'm never going to finish.

Bullet or the newest version of Havok.


I've tried out Irrlicht, it has a rather confusing interface. Creating a new game engine with elements of other game engines I think would be far better.


I agree with Python or Lua. They're the way to go.

For fuck's sake. Each time there is a talk about some possible work going on, it ALWAYS, ALWAYS ends up on a discussion about naming.

The name doesn't matter for now! Jeebus almighty! The next person to talk about naming will receive a stab in the face over the internet. Don't worry, I'll find a way to do it.

@nightcracker
ad 1. Bullet looks really promising.
ad 2. I have been working on  anOpenGL engine (http://github.com/SergeB/Rhubarb/), it doesn't do much, but it's enough abstraction to get started quickly. I've looked into Irrlicht before, I'll take a look at it again.
ad 3. I was thinking about Lua (Garry's Mod Lua implementation is kickass). Possibly Python. But it doesn't really matter right now. As for the GUI toolkit, it doesn't matter either, basic widgets are very easy to implement (I have some code with that floating about somewhere in my github, too).

I have experience with Lua (http://tukui.org/ (http://tukui.org/)), Python, C & C++ (just my own little stuff). Windows and Linux platforms, WoW API Framework (if you can call it that). I have no real portfolio yet, finished projects include TukUI (coauthor/founder, inactive now): https://github.com/tukz/Tukui, (https://github.com/tukz/Tukui,) and a shameless Tetris clone (SDL messing around with C++): exe (http://www.tukui.org/files/03.05.11-16.09.55-tetris.zip)/src (http://www.tukui.org/files/03.05.11-16.09.13-tetris_src.zip).

Other than that, check out my site: http://nclabs.org/ (http://nclabs.org/).

I currently have a little job (I'm 16) coding the site and backoffice for a photo store.

That's astonishingly impressive. We can try to think of something once I finish some paid work :).

Welcome to the boards, though. If you want to head on over to the New Members Welcome to get a proper greeting from a few residents, that'd work pretty well. Posting in threads over a month old without anything to move it along isn't considered a very good move, but I'll let it slide since you're new here. Do try and avoid it in future though.

this pisses me off so much about you bastards. Should this guy have made a new thread saying how he's excited about what's going on in this thread, or bump?


and there's nothing wrong with bumps as long as they're on topic and not like avalanches posts.

To give an update, we haven't started at all yet.

I can continue talking/thinking about this once I get back on my own computer, which is still going to take about 1.5 weeks or so.

we should plan stuff out first before we go and do a crapload of work on this and we mess up and have to start over.

Not a bump if it's actively contributing the discussion, mate- as Scrap said, would you rather have had him create a new thread over it?
 
Anyway, good to see a new user on here- welcome to the forums   :beer:

RJPK has earned 10% warning for pointless bump whacking.

Edit: FYI, bump whacking is criticizing a guy that has "bumped" (posted in an thread inactive since some time), with a criticism based uniquely on the fact that he has bumped and it is somehow bad to bump. Note that it isn't bump whacking if the bumper has spammed and the criticism is calling him on that, and it is only bump whacking if the bump is not disruptive/spam/stupid/insults.

Didn't see that one coming... you can get done for that now? I need to brush up on the constitution =P

BOT: I love Nightmare in the game. Just avoiding everyone and spinning up the disc like a massive n00b is fun fun =D

Alright apologies on that. I've probably scared him off now.

I'd like to officially sign me off for this project - at least for now.

At the moment my programming resources are devoted to developing PyGG2: https://github.com/nightcracker/PyGG2

all the information about this game, how to work it, what it means to us etc. is in this thread already. I am locking it until developments miraculously occur (Protip: They won't.) If this thread really needs to be opened for some reason, feel free to PM me, send me a letter, contact me by phone, send a carrier pigeon, whatever you need to do to post in this OH SO IMPORTANT thread.
