BBEANS Arena V2
« on: February 08, 2009, 07:41:55 PM »
I've finished all the necessary lag-reducing and AI-navigation tweaks, and the arena is now up for download!

http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/bbeans2.zip



This is the arena that will be used for BBEANS5, so you may want to test your bots in it to see how they do.  Fighting in here is a lot different from fighting in the Combat Arena.

Features:

-Walls around the spinning blade retract into the floor after 1 minute.
-Flippers in the corners activate after 2 minutes (after a 5-second warning).
-Slightly bigger fighting area.
-Slightly higher walls.
-Completely transparent walls for easy bot viewing.
-Heavily damaged bots can sometimes catch on fire.

***WARNING***

The BBEANS Tournament Arena V2 uses Madiaba's HazardsBlueRay.py.  I have included a copy for your convenience.  However, if you have a more recent version of HazardsBlueRay, (check the Date Modified) then DO NOT OVERWRITE IT.

All other files are safe to overwrite.

I didn't see the Blue Ray thing in the arena, but it does work fine for me. Although the flippers did launch my 800kg Heavyweights out of the arena or into the other wall instead of onto the blade.

I so wish the middle was open so a rammer would be worth submitting.

My bro is entering a rammer. Don't make him the only one.

Looks nice, CB.  Looks like 5 hinges and 1 prismatic. I'll try it out.
Any updates on a tentative date for this Tourney???
 
And yea, ALWAYS use the latest version of "HazardsBlueray.py" and you'll have no issues.

Input is appreciated. :)

Awesome job. The flippers don't feel like flippers but atleast they do work well with the blade.

It's either my PC or that this thing lags when I run AWs on it.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

The flippers seem a bit too powerful. And Bo1000N works great.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time
