Sorry about that, I need to get Robot Arena running under Wine. I have no clue how to record otherwise.

If I can find the installer I could send you free fraps if you want.

I must say I'm very impressed by the progress made on this project. Will some of the aspects like the increased bot limit be made available outside of the mod?

A simple team battle arena:

The four blocks on each side can be moved. There is no disable/dead zone in it. The idea is that once robots finish fighting the robot spawned next to them, the remaining ones may fight in the middle.

Great work. I was thinking about a destruction derby with many bots but I lost my programmer. Rats!

What are others' thoughts on survival mode? Just have other robots with hover engines and unbalanced weapons and see how long the player can last? Also I would have different levels of difficulty, but in all levels, it is a high score game and the player has no way of winning.

That would be cool.

That would be pretty amazing.

Anyone know where this guy is?

Here.

Thank goodness.

this is really good stuff

Another idea: Climbing robots. Vertical and horizontal spanning monkey bars.

TheUnknownRobotics · « **Reply #54 on:** March 29, 2014, 09:17:39 AM »

Damn, this thread seems cool. BTW, for the climbing robots, it would be fun to see monkey-like robots.

This would be more basic:

I figured out how to have more than four robots.

I chose twelve.
I would be very interested in seeing how you did this. By my understanding, exhib_robots.gib only receives 4 bot cells from the EXE and I'm not aware of any commands for adding more bots to the arena.

The closest that I've come to it is having housebots inside of the arena GMF. Doing it this way, the only way for a human to control one would have been to copy the movement of a real bot or use the camera buttons (both being very ugly workarounds).

If I had to take a guess, you figured out how to use the mysterious DamageCallback commands. If this is the case, would you mind sharing the syntax?

^I second this.
