You'll have to wait for Clickbeetle, Madiaba, Trovaner or JoeBlo, I'm afraid.

[GroudonRobotWars]

I looked through my many notes and found a reworded quote from the old forums... but whoever tested this couldn't figure out what the last two numbers did either. You shouldn't have any problems as long as you copy and paste from a similar event (for example, if you plan to add a 1-on-1 tourney then copy a 1-on-1 tourney). Here are my notes:

A couple notes:
-There is (and must be) a correlation between the number of bots in the event and the number of rounds in that event. If there are 2 bots in the event then there must be 4 rounds; and if a 4 bot event then there must only be 2 rounds. Thus these two # slots must either be a 2 or 4 and never the same as the other.
-The number of sets of 'prize' and corresponding 'textual response' must be the same as the number of rounds (to respond to a loss at each round) plus one more to cover a win of the whole event. Therefore, there should be 3 sets for a 2-round event and 5 sets for a 4-round event.

Also, I should give credit where credit is due. It was either Duck or philetbabe that wrote the original version of this (Click helped whomever wrote this so maybe he'll remember).

The last number appears to designate game type.  0 = battle royal, 1 = Deathmatch, 2 = KOTH, and 3 = Tabletop.


And the second to last number appears to always be 1, so just leave it like that and don't worry about what it does.

<text font fg_mcn14>You won the coveted armormag for winning!</text>
UI\teamhq\events\trophies\armormag.tga Do I need to have a .gmf and a .tga file of the trophy?

[Clickbeetle]

Yes.  The .gmf appears in the Event Results mini-arena, and the .tga appears in your Team HQ.


The armormag is one of the BBEANS prizes I made for the BBEANS AI pack.  You might want to stick with the stock trophies.

Bump. I tried to make another event but when I push ready when in the tournament the screen turns black and nothing happens, here is the code for it

Make sure the name of the arena is correct, including spaces and capitalization.  I notice you have "series2" in the description but "series 2" with a space for the arena name line.
