Title: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: WhamettNuht on April 11, 2013, 02:34:00 PM
I think it's only fair that I write this post in this thread.

The pack will be discontinued from my end. I will no longer be working on it due to the fact that I no longer have time to do stuff like this. I'm currently in a hard stage of life and so would just be holding the pack until 2018 if I was to continue it. So I will no longer be doing any more work on it.

However, I have handed all rights over to HereticBlue to use everything I have made for this pack (released and unreleased) for his amazing pack. I will be sending everything I have over to him later on. Please go and support HereticBlue's work as it is incredible!!

I'm really sorry that I won't be able to continue this pack, but I will occasionally be around on the forums to see how everyone's doing and how things are going.

Thanks,
Matt Hunt (WhamettNuht)

Yeah... i'm doing it :P


A lot of the replicas I've been posting in Clicks DSL thread will be used in this :P
I've also made RA2 versions of the non real robots found in the AOD and ED games :) Just to fill up the spaces :P


I'll most likely post pics as I go along, however here's some of the things I have so far, or am hoping to achieve:


-Normal 13 teams, consisting of a lightweight and heavyweight robot based on those found in AOD and ED, and the 3rd HW spot taken up by a replica bot. There might also be a couple of extra teams for other bots, e.g. House Robots, Antweights, ect.


-A few more new arenas (i'm sure most of you have seen my work in my RW arena thread)


-New UI based on the RW Games


-Some new music has been done inspired on the games (Even replaced the hopp_club music with the results music from RW)


Basically I want to try and make an AI pack that is a cross between RA2 and the RW games :P
However I'll need a couple of helping hands :)
I'd like to ask GF and Ducky to help as they've been massive helps already :P
I'll need:


-Good UI'ers


-Some people to make good skins for the non-real RW robots


-Some good Arena/GMF creators (To turn my arena meshes into working arenas, Click's already working on the RW arena itself)


I'm mostly working on the replicas and robots themselves, and trying to organise as many things as possible :P
So... anyone fancy helping out? :) Other than that... stay tuned :P

you and red should totally combine your packs to make one big pack like the dsl 2 ai was.

what do you mean with the non RW bots skinning? like skinning the parts? How do they look?

Will you ever finish your Roaming Robots (now Robot Wars) pack? :(

GF - Sweet! :) Fancy the job of skinning the non RW bots? :P


Thyrus - the chassis


And consider the one I put out done :P In other words - no :P

Here's the non-real bots that i've done ATM (DSL 3.0)

For now just post pics of the bots with ya skins on and i'll get them later on :)

this is just SO nostalgic for me. i would be willing to help make some of the game replicas if you want.

Post by: Ducky on April 11, 2013, 05:24:35 PM
Ooh yay was hoping we'd make one! Sounds good! Wouldn't mind giving the UI or skins in general a go. Would the UI layout be based of the current one and just be a different design?

And I've played about a lot with the Robot Wars music/sfx, so if any work needs doing with those then count me in with that too! :) I'm pretty new to the coding side of it though aha.
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack

Started work on the new 259 :)


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94562Picture9.jpg)


Now bigger and stronger. The disc is powered now by a 132 perm motor. Can now easily destroy other bots. Has also had a nice retexture :P


Tommorow im hoping to work on the skirts and finish up the body's texture :)

Ah yes, that's looking pretty good so far- have the issues with the disc's collision been sorted out?

Thanks :)


Here's 259 with the new skirts:


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12228Picture10.jpg)


Just need to create a reversed textured one and then i'd say it's done :) Might also retexture the mini wheels to make them more suitable.
Only thing that I don't think i'd be able to do is edit the Perm Belt so that it wraps around the belt pulley, which might be a job for Click. Other than that, quite proud of this one! :P
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on April 14, 2013, 11:56:59 AM
If you want I could donate my 259, it uses dsl discs instead of the 259Disc component that keeps getting stuck in things.
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on April 14, 2013, 11:59:44 AM
For the next replica, might I suggest Tornado? So much has to be done it's unbelievable. Protected underside, smaller/wider wheels, less powerful drum etc. I could go on for hours about how the current one is sub-par.

Been working on this one nearly all day xD


Scoop is now correctly proportioned, now a bit bigger in size, now has the top box instead of the weird inside stuff, and most importantly, it's lifter cage now lifts with the scoop, instead of just the scoop lifting up :P


Still need to work on some bursts for it as it can barely lift itself atm, but other than that, the majority is done! :)


And I figured it needs the axe other wise it's useless at causing any damage to other robots :P

Here's more i tyhought you'll want to put in your AI Pack

Bigger Brother
Cassius 2
Pussycat
Blade

More Coming soon (I like the Successful, Winning kind of Robots like said Blade was 3 and 1 although it didn't Win Series 3)

First of all, around 10


Second of all, please don't request robots. I know which ones I'm going to be putting in and which ones will be done.


Third of all, Pussycat has already been done. And I agree Blade was a terrible robot :P

why don`t you to try to build a blade replica by yourself? The basic shape isn`t that hard. try  to use a flat weapon motor and find something for the weapon that fits.
Don`t get annoying and don`t try to get Wham doing stuff he doesn`t want to do.

So far so good! Have just been doing some fairly rough designs for possible UIs for this. This was one I did, more inspired by the show itself than the games, see what you guys think.
Gonna try some other menus in this design when I can as well. Not totally sure about the background or the "Options, Credits, Quit" box at the moment.
I also managed to figure out how to mod the .gib file to alter the button placement to use this design.

Splendid! There could perhaps be a few more interesting details to the background (Like on the Extreme Destruction menu), but it's definitely looking like a good basis to start out with.
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Ducky on April 16, 2013, 04:03:52 PM

Hell yeah, I love the skinning job on it. Only thing of concern though, is that the logos on the front are backwards. Just mirror those and maybe swap the Ripping Tooth for a Killalot claw, and it'd be more or less perfect.    :claping 
 
 
And Dogmasher, please stop asking if these are going to be in DSL. It's a seperate pack.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on April 17, 2013, 12:09:36 PM

It's alright, but it's a little small, in my opinion. Something like the setup on my old Plunderbird replica might work well-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57121Plunderbird5-1.png)
- consists of a long extender, a small beater bar, and a Killalot Claw. Accurate in terms of size, and provides a nice illusion of the hydraulic piston connected to the Plunderthocker, which would make use of the silver gap on the top lid.

Been working on that claw all ****ing day! Finally got something that I'm really happy with!


Works extremely well as a rammer, can charge at a robot and flip them over or badly damage them.
I was playing with the claw idea, however I decided the range available with the robot wouldn't be enough to cause any proper threat, plus the AI still needs refining, so it wouldn't work properlly when AI'd.


However, I'm extremely proud with how this turned out! :)

What I did with mine was to put it on a standard green burst motor, normally in the down position. Then once it fights, it can move up, and then snap back down again for a crushing effect. Wasn't much, but it was pretty decent.   :P

I've tried that on other crusher bots aswell but it barely works when AI'd imo :')


Anyway, here is the new Dominator 2:


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55214screenshot_70.jpg)


Now a much more accurate size, and the axe can now hit bots with loads more accuracy, and a lot less jumping into the air :P


The chassis is now the wheel guards. It makes for a nice little target to aim for by other robots :P (I like to try and make these 'targets' available on all the replicas to make other robots equal to them when fighting if that makes sence :P)

Fantastic! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better in terms of reps, you've outdone yourself again- I love the look of the new Dominator 2, particularly with how much more accurate it is in terms of size. The paintjob could be a little darker and the red outlines on the flame decals could be a bit thicker, but it's a bloody good replica. Well done again!   :claping

Now more square, bit bigger (Factor of 1.1) And much more powerful. Still need to create a poly baseplate, the two 'eyes' on top and edit the spikes. Other than that, quite happy with this one :P (Was dreading starting on it lol)

Sorted out the main menu which Ducky designed.

I can't get the options menu to be in the position Ducky showed though. These buttons seem to be positioned relative to a mysterious rectangle at the bottom of the screen and if I place them outside the rectangle it disappears. If anyone knows how to change this could you tell me? Currently only works at full screen highest resolution. Other than that it's all good.

It's definitely looking pretty good so far though, especially with how all the buttons look. Is there any way the background could be animated, I wonder? If there is, then something like the swinging wires and turning cogs of the ED background could be good to replicate.

In the way of what All Stars, i'm trying to think along the lines of those seen in the different games and merchandise, so i'm hoping in the future to have bots like 101, Suicidal Tendencies (dunno what to use for the claw though), X-Terminator, Bigger Brother, ect. :)

(Still LOLing at the fact that the Razer replica can beat a lot of the other replicas, but still can't beat Pussycat :') )

Just wondering if you guys could link me up with a version of 3DS Max? A lot of replicas that I want to do will require a few custom meshes as opposed to editing pre-available GMFs. I've tried the whole Milkshape ASE to GMF manual convertion many a time, however it just doesn't appear to work (No Collisions, Crashes when clicking attach, ect.)

Ah yes, that's looking much more accurate- I remember the old one being twice as big as most of the other replicas put together!  XD
 
But I definitely like how it looks especially from the side, and considering the damage potential the claw had in that video Click uploaded where it fought the old HypnoDisc, it should be a marvel. When the time comes for an update at some point though, perhaps a later revision could include the scoop front and thicker wheelguards it had in Series 5/Extreme 1?
 
 
Talking of it not being able to beat Pussycat actually, that's given me an idea for an easter egg. I suppose if you import Razer into the Bot Lab and beat Pussycat with it for the first time, a tiny 8-bit Ian Lewis could appear in the Match Result box and start dancing to this briefly-

Ah, now that looks awesome. I love the way the flipper looks, but my only concern is that those black bits powering the claws are a bit too blocky and wide. Would it be possible to shrink them?
 
Love the new UI, too. Looks very impressive so far!   :claping

Couldn't help but noticing that the current DSL window in the bot lab sort of stuck out
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91729botlab_window_preview.png)
It's based off the lights from ED. I think it still needs a bit of work, e.g. the "Test Robot" button and I would like to replace the corner pieces which I have used for everything with the wooden ones you are using, Wham. It would probably match the theme of the botlab better.
Please excuse the noob-bot

I just noticed while I was playing; the Robot Wars arena is wrong. The Pit and the Arena Flipper are on the wrong sides, do you think anybody could fix it for this AI pack? No worry if nobody would, just curious. :3

Sort of on the same note, what can we expect from the pack? Anything extra? :3

Hey guys,


Sorry development has slowed down lately, but life has started to put me on the fast lane again meaning things have been kinda heptic.
However, I have been able to play around with the original Robot Wars arena to try and give it a much needed facelift:


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/87228screenshot_75.jpg)


Where to start...


-Textures are Resetti's ones but altered


-Pit tyre is now yellow without changing anything else (Now has it's own texture)


-Instead of a massive, heavy, pixelly fridge, it's now a washing machine


-Pit cover's end point is now higher to make it more realistic


-Pit lining now has a texture (Who would of thought that all along all you had to do was add a texture to the black area on the fridge texture? :P)


-Start positions are similar to those in ED


-Now has the pit siren


-Pit and flipper covers are now all the chevron, with an even border outside


I feel that it's already a much more dramatic improvement to the original, however what I want to accomplish is still not done:


-Flip the pit and floor flipper on the X axis (to their correct positions)


-Make the pit and floor flipper more oblong rather than square, and maybe shrink them a bit


-And with the help of one of the advanced .py'ers, make the flame on the flame grid similar to the inferno particle effect as seen in the Black Hole Space Station arena.


Anyway, here's what I have so far. Once this has been finished I'm hoping to create an Antweight version aswell.


Thoughts? Opinions? :P


-Wham

Post by: GoldenFox93 on May 13, 2013, 05:17:23 PM
Absolutely fantastic, man- I particularly like what you've done with the Pit. Would it be rude of me to ask if a download's available?   :P
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: WhamettNuht on May 14, 2013, 12:42:07 AM
Thanks guys :)


No, no luck yet with the speed of the pit. It's something I'd desperately love to do.


And GF, did I say it was done yet? ;)




One other thing I forgot to mention that I'd LOVE to do is CPZs.


I'm thinking what if it was possible to put some coding in the .py that uses 4 zones in the corners of the arena (zones like the ones used for the drop zone and floor flipper) that tells bots 3 and 4 where to go. So that once bot 1 or 2 enters one of these zones, it tells bot 3 or 4 (the closest one) to go to that zone and attack whatevers in there. Then when the robot leaves the zone, the 'house robot' goes back to a hibernation tactic (untill a robot enters a zone again). So bots 1 & 2 would be the ones in the normal start positions doing the fighting, whilst bots 3 & 4 would start in their own CPZ and not attack untill 1 or 2 enters their zones.


I think it could be possible by one of the more advanced coders, and something that could maybe be done in a future update of the AI pack.




Also, quick question - would a tournament suit some people? I have an idea for a small ED style tournament for people to get their robots into both the arena early, and (if they didn't mind) the AI pack itself. Entries would be in the style of the bots in ED (2 moving weapons max, 6 static weapons max, built within a ready made chassis, ect.) and would feature maybe 4 replica 'bye' bots for added fun. Any interest? If there is then I'll go ahead with it :P

Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Jonzu95 on May 14, 2013, 09:55:14 AM
Are you able to do anything with the pit and floor flipper by placing them to the original place?
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: WhamettNuht on May 14, 2013, 02:34:00 PM
Yep, was able to lower the walls:


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/11751screenshot_76.jpg)


The ones on the left are the height of the original, and the ones on the right are the new ones (they're all the same size now before you start asking if they're even to each other lol). It's not a massive change, maybe about fifth smaller, however from testing it has made a massive difference!


One other small update i've done aswell which I find pretty crucial is the 'drop zone'... zone :P


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31291screenshot_77.jpg)


The orignal zone (as depicted by the red) used to be the same size as the black area.
Now, just briefly driving through the drop zone area won't set it off - you will need to be smack bang in the middle of it to activate it. A small thing that I think has made a massive difference.


And if you was to read my post, you would see that I am planning to :P

Did someone order a flip around?


Not a lot of tell. The flame pit needs to be moved and the flames themselves need their coordinates moved, aswell as the avoidance lines for the hazards. But, they're rather easy things compared to the ammount of head f***ery that went into flipping this around (the ammount of vertexes and such that needed changing... wow)


Anyway, probably the most sought after change for this arena has now happened. All the rest is just detail :P

Post by: Thyrus on May 14, 2013, 06:01:08 PM
I was just thinking about the lowering the pit slowly. I don`t know if you can trick the physics of the game but would something like this work:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58930physicstrick.png)

1: that`s the pit when you enter the arena.

2: that`s when you press the pitbutton. I know you can move stuff slowly in a horizontal way like the pitcover in the octagon and skull arena. the light grey bar moves as fast as you program it to the side and the pitcover moves slowly downwards.

know what I mean?

I think it should work, but I do worry slightly that it would create a slightly angled pit drop until it hits bottom.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on May 26, 2013, 01:12:16 PM
I've also just had an idea to improve the accuracy of Behemoth's axe. Considering that it's currently on a burst motor (And therefore has limited range), perhaps it could utilise something like Overkill's hammer motor to swing around in a 240-degree arc from the top of the frame to the bottom of the scoop? I was thinking this sort of trajectory-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31706240degree.gif)
It could be limited to that trajectory in a similar way to how the Servos for Razer's claw or That Darn Dustpan!'s arm currently are- that way, it could swing all the way around without it spinning wildly. It's a pretty good method- I've used it for my Mortis replicas to good effect, so perhaps it could be something to consider?
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: WhamettNuht on May 26, 2013, 03:34:14 PM
First off, to get the axe to work with the motor set up when AI'd is currently not possible due to there being no THZ/Flipper AI yet.


And second, the axe acctually works really well already. The scoops burst doesnt have a lot of force behind it, meaning that when Behemoth catches an opponent in the bucket, the axe can hit the other robot pretty well. It's hard to explain, but despite being on a burst, the axe does work extremely well as it is :)
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: GoldenFox93 on May 26, 2013, 03:40:24 PM
Ah, OK. Just a suggestion, that's all- I was thinking along the lines of the DSL2 replica, and so I assumed the axe worked in a relatively similar way.


Good to hear it's working better, though. Perhaps the method could be salvaged for a Mortis replica? If it could be AIed in a similar way to the Beta/Frenzy axes, it replicates the fast effect of the Tanto Axe very well.

The domes have been a b**** to do, but I'm already really happy with this one :D


Quick question though, does anyone know how to add more of a shine or reflection to a component? The shine strength for the domes is already set at 0.900000 but still not as shiny as I'd like. Any help?

Hopefully. Perhaps there could be a way to mount an invisible burst motor and peg on either side of the pole's base, so that when it's needed to flip over, it could fire. Bit of a hair-brained scheme, but it might work.


And that's OK. If it does get in though, that'd be brilliant.    :D

Really quite happy with this one... 2 fully done from scratch custom components and all :D
It also puts up a really good fight! I was worried that it wouldn't do anything in battle. I was wrong. In 4-way rumbles with the other replicas it easily holds its own, and can even knock out a couple of bots! (It sounds dumb but I'm genuinely surprised!)

Amazing. I believe you even built Suicidal Tendencies before RR!
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: GoldenFox93 on May 29, 2013, 06:01:28 PM
With regards to my choices- As Mortis was in Arenas of Destruction, hopefully that should make it possible to take its textures/shape and base a replica on them, with the oddly-shaped bits (Like the top and the sides) and the weaponry being able to be replicated with components, like Plunderbird 5 and Suicidal Tendencies were.
 
As for Cassius II, there are pictures of it available from all angles, so hopefully with a little editing, that should be possible too. In any case- if it's possible to get both of them in, I can definitely die happy.   :D
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: WhamettNuht on May 29, 2013, 06:06:12 PM
I would quite like to do X-Terminator next, as there's only 1 axe bot so far (Dominator 2) however I don't think I'd be able to find a good enough texture for the body. If anyone can find some good pics of the body from all sides (any of the silver axe versions) then hopefully I'll be able to use them.


I would also quite like to do Bigger Brother, Panzer and The Revelutionist next :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARV6fVXewI8#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARV6fVXewI8#ws)
Would those help? Also in terms of axes, I definitely think Mortis would be a good addition to the roster, one of the most feared axes in RW history. What do you think about it, Wham? Would it be possible?
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: WhamettNuht on May 29, 2013, 06:21:39 PM
I tried one version of Mortis already, but it failed massively. Now that I have this new method under my belt however, I may consider it ;)


As for the video, I'm trying to stay clear of videos as the detail in them is not the best.
And I think I would prefer to do Terrorhurtz instead of Killerhurtz :P (Terrorhurtz just slays IMO)

You will? Fantastic- if it helps in the development, I'll be happy to send you a working prototype of it I made some time ago. It's got quite a good method behind it for the axe which accurately replicates its speed, so hopefully that can help you with it.
 
 
Still, I might have an idea for X-Terminator's textures. I'm in touch with the chap who currently owns it on Facebook, so I can certainly ask him for some photos of it, if you'd like.

Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Merrick on May 30, 2013, 08:19:14 AM
X-Terminator had an axe for the vast majority of it's lifespan, so it seems only right that the more signature weapon made an appearance. Series 7 never had an axe, but I'd love to see an axe armed Series 6 version in DSL 3.

Seem to have hit a snag again with the damn ASE method (it works for low poly meshes but unfortunately not really the high poly ones that would require that kind of collision mesh :/)
Any hoo, I shall keep trying to fix these things and hopefully have maybe 2? new reps soonish.


UPDATE:


Just to prove I'm serious :P

(Note to self: In 3DS Max, Weld vertexes first, then smooth)


Still needs to be skinned before you all start flipping out. The flipper mesh is done aswell, just need to work on it's collision mesh and then do a lot of playing around with burst AP stuff :P

They're looking really good so far! One thing I could suggest, for the full effect, I suppose the "Battle Royale" tab could say Mayhem or Annihilator? Other than that little suggestion, I'd say it's looking great.   :claping

Wow... thats a loooooot of suggestions....

And sure akshaylan, I'll send them over tommorow :) Those do look incredible so far though! I was also thinking, one thing I did when I tried doing the exhibition UI was for the different modes, I put those RW logo centre 'diamonds' on the buttons for how many robots where in each, think something like that would look good?

For the third bot you should do either Manta or Tricerabot. Or you could compromise and do both. :P

Yes, I'm restricting myself to 3 US replicas :P (That and they nicely fill up The Good Ol' Boys :P)


Anyway, rant over :P Here's Panzer Mk 4 at the moment:

They should have at least one lightweight.

Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack

Indeed, however I fear that they are good for nothing more than test bots. Hardly provide much of a challenge in an RA2 environment.
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: helloface on June 02, 2013, 03:11:26 PM
You could always do minor adjustments to them so they are a bit harder. I also think you should have at least one bot of every class per team, so the bots can work on Team HQ mode.

Brilliant! For your first US robot, that's pretty much perfect- I particularly love how you've done the Front Scoop and other such details. If that's the sort of standard we can expect for the other US robots, I bet we'll be in for a real treat once they're ready. Very well done!   :claping
 
 
 
Also, if it's three US Robots to a team, perhaps you could do this for a team theme-
 
TEAM AMERICA
"Coming again, to save the motherf*cking day!"

- in fact, themed teams (Like in the original DSL) might be a good idea instead of just using the Stock Ones, in which case I'd be happy to provide some new Team Logos.  :D

If it's all Heavies to a team, I'd definitely suggest either Tricerabot 3.0 or Destructive Criticism for the last spot on the US Team. They were pretty badass, not to mention both Grand Finalists in Extreme Warriors, so either one would be cool to have.  :P

Guess I'll see how many replicas I end up with :P And as for my next, I might come back to the UK for a little while.

Schweet. Other than the writing on the top being mirrored the wrong way, Dantomkia definitely looks very good indeed. Can't wait to play as Chaos 2 and flip out of the arena, though.   XD
 
 
Also, looking forward to seeing the new X-Terminator. With those textures, it should look pretty damn awesome.   :dumb)

Everyone stfu about the name mirroring xD All it would take is just flipping that part of the texure! My bigger concern atm is the fact that the mesh just messed up a bit and that it has all these weird shadowy faces now. The name is barely even noticable now because of that...

Definitely sounds like a problem- my DSL3 would do something similar whenever I tried to open Firestorm with it. Do you have a backup of the old file?

Restore the old X-Terminator mesh? Seriously, making backups is rudimentary when it comes to modifying RA2 due to the game's unpredictability.

No worries regarding the pun, man. Talking of Panic Attack, did you find that replica I made of it and those textures I send you useful references?


And Manta as the third US Robot? Fantastic, I've always liked that one.   :D

Post by: WhamettNuht on June 09, 2013, 01:45:13 PM
Not as of yet, however just from playing against the AI bots I think Panic Attack might be in need of another revamp, so they may well do so in the end :P


And same! It was a toss-up between Manta, Tricerabot 3.0 and General Chompsalot, however I figured we needed another vertical spinner :P

I think it's for the purpose of deciding which one the AI version of the robot will use. Both could be available as individual components so that they could potentially be swapped around, but it's only an idea.

Believe it or not, I got up to page 29 before taking those first Manta photos and making these - if i'd seen the ones on page 30, i might have hesitated.

However, these are big, resizeable images of the back logo and the eye, should anyone still find a need for these.

Mind you, it was a good robot on the artistic side of things, and perhaps as something that would be hilarious in a fight against say, Terrorhurtz and Razer. Couldn't make up for everything else, though.
 
 
Speaking of Terrorhurtz, I love how the version of it here looks so far. Is it just the shadows on the axe that need fixing?

Aye. Considering what I've seen so far, we'll definitely be in for a real treat once it's all finished. Makes me wonder though, what teams they'll all be in? I did have an idea for one, in reference to the original DSL Pack-
 
Stark Industries
"Better living through Technology"
(Pussycat, Firestorm, Chaos 2)

The flippers appear to be owning because:-
a) it's the UK - we specialise in flippers. Therefore our flippers own
b) They make for better action shots  :trollface


As for the teams, I'm trying to think about things from a tournament point of view. I'd like each time to have 1 robot from the RW games in the 3rd spots. So for example, the 1st team to have Chaos 2, the 2nd to have Hypno-Disc, the 3rd to have Razer, ect., rather than putting all of them together in one team. I have a few team combo's sketched out already, and once I have the nessecary amount of robots, then I can work on organising all of them into their proper teams :)

Good idea. You can have single player tournaments then as well, which I'm rather enjoying with your Roaming Robots pack.

Ah, that's a good idea. That way, you'd be able to fight the most well-known ones in the Single-Player HW Tournaments, which would be very cool indeed. So for example, I'm guessing for the US Team, you'd have Panzer or Revolutionist in the 3rd Slot, right?

Yes, that's also a fair point- along with how it starred in both adaptations of Extreme Destruction to Revolutionist's one. But then I suppose, Trial by Combat and all.

New replica:

Eye's have 1 hitpoint, and the lifter once fired won't go back down unless it's moved down with force (it won't go back down on it's own, a bit like a spring loaded system almost)

Yeah, I think that'd be good. Diotoir's IRL flipper mechanism could retract and fire multiple times, but it took time to do so.

Fair enough -ramped the retract power up a tad so that it retracts slowly.

Dolls - I kinda like that idea! Maybe having like teddy bears and stuff that break off in a couple of hits scatter across the arena floor could be quite fun :P Will consider that one...


As for house robots, if I don't get round to doing them in this version, then the next edition will do :) (Even if I do do them in this edition, it will most likely be the original 5 - the others where either c*** (e.g. RefBot and Cassius Chrome) or will be PITA's to do in RA2 (e.g. Mr Psycho)

Mr. Psycho would be a UHW I would imagine. Also, for another extra, add Hamish from the Torque team.

I have some questions
Will we see any Series 1's like Roadblock or Recyclopse?
Will we see any older arenas? (Series 1, 2, 3, 4?)
Any old Robot Wars USA designs? La Machine, Blendo, The Master, and Biohazard were RW pioneers. I feel they should get at least 1 bot slot.
What will you do for The Rookies, and XTRA
Will the Producers be an extra RW hazard for Storm II? Everytime it wins by points, but loses a part, it automatically loses?
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Badnik96 on June 19, 2013, 03:06:14 PM
Pretty sure the Storm II thing would be impossible. And Mr. Psycho could easily be a normal HW, just make the body pieces very light.

Here are my thoughts on each-
 
1) Might be a good idea.
2) Also good- I recall there was a Series 3 Arena in the works somewhere, and Daleksec or someone made a Series 2 one.
3) Doubt it. Remember that is for the TV Show RW- it doesn't need to become another DSL mod.
4) This'll be for Wham to decide, most likely.
5) Hilarious, but probably not.   XP

Most of the ones that were in ED were also in AoD. Here are the main differences-
 
In Both
Chaos 2
HypnoDisc
Razer
Panic Attack
Firestorm
Pussycat
Behemoth
Diotoir
 
In Arenas of Destruction only
Mortis
Terrorhurtz
 
In Extreme Destruction only
Dominator 2
Plunderbird 5
Tornado
Wheely Big Cheese
Suicidal Tendencies
101
Panzer Mk 4
The Revolutionist
Thermidor 2

So yes, the ratio's quite close. Funny thing is, I'd had no idea there were that many more replicas added to Extreme Destruction (And that's not even including the ones that were also in the GBA Versions, including Onslaught, Cassius 2, Bigger Brother, Stinger, Tricerabot 3.0, Rosie the Riveter 2, Propeller-Head and Destructive Criticism) until now.  :P

1) Maybe. Haven't thought about it.


2) I was originally thinking of having some of the fictional robots in it as I thought I wouldn't be able to make this many replicas due to my lack of modding skills. However, as luck would have it I exceeded my own expectations and so I can now focus on an AI pack that is all replicas (The final product will need to be 45 replicas or more in total. The current total is about 24 :P)


As for the minor subject of 'Under Development', here's the list of replicas I'd still like to include:
-Cassius 2 (I know that if I don't I'll have a fan-boy uprising on my hands so better play it safe :P)
-Mortis
-13 Black
-101
-Fluffy
-Gravity
-Storm 2 (Haven't gotten round to it yet :P)
- M2
- Roadblock


I'm also planning on including maybe just Shunt, Matilda and Sgt. Bash, as I think they'd go quite nicely with a couple other arena's that I'm planning...

All of the ones we already have, and about 20 more as well? Fantastic, I'm very much looking forward to seeing them once they're ready. Speaking of Cassius 2 actually, I don't know if you've seen this one already, but I did have one more picture that might be useful-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61237cassius2back (2).jpg)
Quite small, but it gives a good idea of the layout for the back. Hope this helps!
 
 
And new Arenas as well? Sounds very interesting so far- considering how well you've rendered the Robot Wars Arena and some of the other AoD Arenas so far, they should be pretty awesome. I'll be happy to help plan a few, actually- if the New York Steelworks is being remade, then definitely.  :D

I haven't checked up on this in quite a long time, but my god have you made some progress Wham! I like how you've textured Robot Wars robots better than the people who made the freaking game did. I've never seen Mantis before, but you did really well to angle that right.

Couple of questions, though.

Is it possible at all to make Diotoir flammable at all? I doubt it, given RA2's engine, just the sight of him running around with smoke and fire trailing after him never gets old :P

And I'm not asking for you to put this in, but would it be at all possible for Typhoon to be made? I've never made a replica so I have no idea how difficult it is. It's a weird shape, and I really can't make cones or domes or anything like that. But another FBS would be cool. I'd like to see how he'd go up against Revolutionist :3
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Thyrus on June 21, 2013, 01:24:17 PM

Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: WhamettNuht on June 21, 2013, 02:36:53 PM
I was wondering how long it would take before this came up ;P The subject of Diotoir's flammability has been very much thought over in my mind. Thinking about all options, I've come to the conclusion that for the time being.... it's not possible (or won't look effective). Here's my train of thought:


1) Flamethrowers - could maybe work - however the problem lies with the AI'ing of it. Unless a custom .py can be created that tells the flamethrowers to activate once the robot itself comes in contact with fire, it won't work that well. Plausable.


2) Flaming motors - A few streaks of flame? Really? Plus Diotoir only got enflamed once it came in contact with fire - if the robot keeps getting hit it will catch alight. Not realistic enough. Busted.


3) Onto the matter of fire in the game itself - I don't want to use something like flamethrowers or something. Some streaks of fire coming out the robot will look terrible. What really needs to happen is a mass of fire like the Inferno hazard in the Black Hole Space Arena to erupt from the robot. Oh, and also for the fire to slowly damage the robot the longer it goes on. Then there's also the matter of co2, Refbot, ect., which it just un-RA2 territory.


So the whole Diotoir flame thing, unfortunately, is Busted.


As for Typhoon, it's already in :P (Click left his one in in the DSL 3.0 Beta)
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Peninus on June 21, 2013, 02:51:32 PM

All the replicas atm :P
Love the look of them all so far! One thing I could recommend for Thermidor though, would be to make the black blocks that hold the claws on (Burst Motors?) a bit smaller. They cause the claws to jut out a bit too much, but once that's sorted out, it should look more-or-less perfect.   :P

Also if it's alright, I'd like to have a go at improving the chassis for Panic Attack- I can sort out the proportions a little (I'd like to have it so that the front of the Srimech Lid comes down over the top like on the real machine), and add the ED textures to it.

Personally I think theyre all bloody spot on, the only things i would change personally are the textures on Firestorm as the red seems to be trickling a bit too far down the body and flipper and I think that Xterminator needs a more prominent, personalized scoop.

If you do actually decide to do Xterminators scoop like the above, Imagine how many fanboys will get off your back if you add a version of the scoop skinned like so:  ;)

Is thermidor to scale-ish with the other robots (unlike dsl 2.1 where it was oversized a bit in my opinion)

As for the arenas, the studio one I don't really need to do seeing at how i've already done a pretty good modified version of the DSL one. As for the others, they're a maybe at the moment.


And yes Thermidor is in scale with the others :P

OK. Just as a suggestion though, I think that the burst motors could be made a little narrower- so that it's a little more compact, like the real machine-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57167Thermidor2.png)
At the moment, not saying there's anything else wrong with it, it just bugs me that they're still to scale with the old Thermidor replica (That is to say, too big) and thus cause the claws to spread out much wider than they should.

I'd unknowingly pressed the button on the controller that fired the axe when Storm was nearby.

Interestingly, Sir Killalot's textures appear to be heavily airbrushed magazine scans. On the original files, you can see page creases and accompanying text. So, a software company couldn't even afford to photograph the real thing? On the left side of the image, you can see the original, undoctored image. On the right is the texture you see in the game.
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack

Tournament's will be mostly RW inspired - If any new arenas make it into the pack, then they will also have their own tournaments.


S3 and that are on my list of 'to-dos'.


And well you might aswell use what you can find. I don't think the game developers particularly counted on us to be looking through the textures of their game, so they just used whatever they could find that worked well.

Anyway, are there any other Semi-Notable robots that didnt make it far going in? "like Cassius 2"  Or smaller weight classes like Steel Sandwich going in? Maybe as _XTRA?

Nothing in regards to XTRA bots so far - the Rookie's team however might be some fictional bots that use the costume components included in the pack. Same goes for XTRA.

Nothing in regards to XTRA bots so far - the Rookie's team however might be some fictional bots that use the costume components included in the pack. Same goes for XTRA.


On another note:

It should be able to, actually- the original El Diablo could, so I'd assume there's some trickery there that allows 101 to do so as well.

As a filler for the pack may I recommend adding your Kan Opener, from my memory it was spot on despite only containing two custom components. It could never be acclaimed as an 'All Star' but it is the two time annihilator champion.

Relatively simple robots that could be considered as popular enough to include in the pack are Kat 3 and Bulldog Breed.

Its hard trying the make a thought through suggestion without sounding like a generic n00b.  :gawe:

I don't care what the RGB codes are. Lilac is considered a variant of purple that is made with 255 red and 255 blue, with ~50% saturation, if you want to get that technical. Cyan is light blue to the layman.

Very nice so far, man. My only recommendations would be to move the Spider on the lid up a bit (I have a texture for the lid which has this fixed, if you need it), and if possible, the skirts could be lowered down and stretched so that they don't clash with the text on the sides, and they're as long as the rest of the chassis. Other than that though, I love how it looks.   :P

Hell no. I'm just excited for this. I signed up for Robot Arena 2, because it's a game that I appreciate. Anyway, I already know it's not out (not even Beta, but I don't really care as I will wait) so, if you're thinking I just want replicas, then you're wrong. GameTechMods is a wonderful website, as Robotic Combat is one of my favorite things. Also, if you haven't noticed, my Grammar mistake was on purpose and used as a joke.

Hmm.. I see. I never knew THAT before. Anyway, I was just asking. How was I supposed to know? Anyway, I'm also working on stuff: AI Packs, Display Tournament(s) and Tutorials. So, for your sake, here's a tip:
Know what someone is saying and don't jump to conclusions.

No, not yet. AI Packs take time to make.

This person is not angry and giving me an ANSWER, instead of mocking my reply. So, guys, if you don't know, all I was asking was: "Has the AI Pack been Released?" Not saying for him to Hurry up and finish it already. If I was in a way I said so, then I am sorry to the moderator. But to you guys, whomever just told me to shut up and give him time, please read my comment/reply again. If you still don't understand, then just leave it be.

Yeah, I know. I would help him, If I didn't make idiotic robots... like the chassis of it for an example! Necause on how long this AI pack has been going for, I have to say it's going to be a great one. Love the signature BTW.

Dude seriously quit the spamming. Your first impression on here will usually stay until you prove differently and right now it doesn`t look good. Your main question has been answered: no this isn`t out otherwise Wham would`ve edited his first post. You could have known that by reading the whole thread or at least the last few posts. We all are excited about this beeing released but spamming this thread wham will not be happy. also try to avoid double or in your case quadroposts. there`s an edit button you can use.
I know you are new to this page. I don`t want to be too hard on you just give you the advice.

It's called I want to reply, so I can alert the person in what I am saying. Anyway, this is not spamming if you're trying to tell someone to shut up about my post. Why I do so? -because you are thinking the wrong way about my question/me. Also, I noticed more then 3 people "quoted" my question. Why do so? All I asked: "Is it done". All I'm saying is that I'm just trying to tell you guys what I meant. The only reason why I kept replying was to alert them from the "Show new replies to your post", since many people tend to click on it.

Razer is one of the few bots that I remember rooting for on TV so I'm also looking forward to fighting a more accurate version of it in RA2.

Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Thyrus on August 15, 2013, 08:23:35 AM
for the tabs you could use iconic stuff from robot wars like the behemothscoop is already the symbol for extras. Razers claw could be the one for weapons. Some fancy extenderwork like the one on The Spider could be extenders. The fallen off battery from The Mechanic could be the one for Power. Wheely Big Cheeses Wheel for the wheels and some motor that was iconic for beeing  exposed on top of a bot could be motors. can`t think of one right now
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: WhamettNuht on August 15, 2013, 08:28:56 AM
akshaylan That looks amazing!!! :D As for the component catergories, it could be an idea to use a couple of the little symbols seen on the robot stats screens in AOD?
 (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110806103545/robotwars/images/5/5a/The_Rock_Stats.jpg)
Like the shield could be used for extras (Even though I'm mostly going to be using that menu for pure decorative items and smart zones - all things like Behemoths scoop ect. come later in the weapons menu), the wheel obviously mobility, the exhaust...motors? the controller maybe power and the mallet for weapons? Just an idea :P
As for the colour of the text, is there maybe something in the gib files? Like a hex colour code?
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: akshaylan on August 15, 2013, 08:57:49 AM
Both ideas are good and if either of them are done right I'm sure they will look good. Just a couple of things though:

For Thyrus':
I have a feeling that mixing both cartoon/non-photographs and photographs together might end up looking a little odd/unprofessional (not saying that I am professional!)

For WhamettNuht's:
Should be easy enough to do, but did Ducky ever upload the UI for AoD? Never Mind, found them (What ever happened to him? It's like he's vanished...)

Another option I considered was to keep the same images but replace the brownish, rusty backing with some chevron or something.

And I tried editing some of what looked like the colour codes in the .gib files and they all stayed the same.

I was just thinking of a batterie the was kinda famous. The Mechanic was a robot that had only one fight (against Supernova or Hypnodisc I think) during the fight it`s battery was ripped out and was shown laying on the arena floor.
As for the spider it just poped in my head when I was thinking about extenders

Thyrus - I think you mean Mechaniac. The battery didn't fall out, it just hung out. The Predator however, in it's only ever battle it's battery fell out.
G2 from the featherweight competition's battery fell out too.

Second of all, no 'modern day' robots will be included (only the versions that where in Robot Wars itself). I may do another RR AI pack, but it's very unlikely that I will.

Hi guys...


I know I haven't posted anything for ages, but there is a reason why...
A recent glitch with my computer has left me with certain files and folders deleted from my computer.... one of which was that of this AI pack.
I'm determined to still do this AI pack, however since I've lost everything, it might not be for another few months, and the quality may be either drastically improved or downgraded....


I'm really sorry to be the barer of bad news, but unfortunately I don't know what happened and why it did, but at this stage it looks like I may have to start over again...


Really sorry :/

alternatively you could use recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva). totally free (you can spend $30 to get some unnecessary dumb stuff, but it doesnt effect how many files it recovers) and you'll probably get somewhere around 90% of your files back.

I highly recommend Carbonite as a backup program, it isn't free but it's brought me immeasurable peace of mind; it automatically saves everything every 24 hours or so.

1. All axe bots tend to havok alot when controlled by the player.
2. Would like to see all replicas weight near 800.
3. Would like to see RW arena camera angles changed.
4. A few bots should have their skins look a bit cleaner.


Anyways Wham:

Go raibh míle maith agat go mór!

Becuz there is no fur in RA2. I think it's not possible to make an armor that ignites every time it touches flames. I've seen some bots burning in BBEANS V2 arena though.

Just played it and is absolutely brilliant however there are always criticism so I'll point out a few.

1. All axe bots tend to havok alot when controlled by the player.

For bots like Terrorhurts and X-Terminator you  need to keep pressing one of the buttons for it`s weapon to prevent it from havoking.

Two suggestions I have:

- Nerv Hypnodisc a bit. It appears to be a bit op atm
- Add the Srimech ability to Dominator 2.

Post by: WhamettNuht on September 09, 2013, 09:33:41 AM
Thanks guys! Nice to know you're all enjoying it! :)


Right... to respond to things....


Havoking Axe Bots: What Thyrus said
Adding weight: What helloface said
RW Arena Camera angles: I will most likely get round to it, but could also use some ideas *hint hint* (That's not an excuse to go cray cray with the pictures and suggestions though :P)
Bot Skins: I'm trying my best with what I have available :P
The Bull, Dextrus, ect.: IGNORE THESE BOTS they are no longer being used they're now just an idea that's temporarily being used to fill space in the AI teams
Diotior: What Jonzu said. In regards to BBEANS arena though - there's a code in it that replaces the smoke particle effect with the fire one, giving robots the fire effect. However if I did that just for the sake of 1 robot then that wouldnt look as good for the others. So untill someone can create a new 'fireball' particle effect and enable it to be used via a small flamethrower that activates when a robot has received a certain amount of damage - then I will do it.
HypnoDisc: Will hopefully get round to it. I also want to try and improve it's steering
Dominator 2: Will also get round to it.


But please do remember this is just a small Beta to give you guys a taste of what's to come and buy me more time to work on things. There's still loads that I'd love to do but even some of those might have to come in any later versions.

Roadblock's skin is practically black, Dantomkia is a bit on the weak side, and I had a weird glitch where 259 fell through the closed pit, but other than that, but those were the only issues I had with it in the half hour or so that I messed around with it. Very nice work, Wham.  :smile:

Well, it's impressive, and I truly appreciate all the work and dedication you've put into this, but there are quite a few nitpicks I have to state with all the replicas:
That said, I really don't want to hurt your feelings Wham, it's just a list of things that need fixing. I could probably rectify most of the problems I have highlighted in this myself, except for the model-related ones.

Firestorms flipper is to powerful for its own good when self righting

Manta's weapon breaks off far to easily

Besides that and a few other small things its awesome cant wait for the full thing :D

It's just a small thing, and I don't want it to affect your dignity, but the collision mesh for the Dantomkia shell acts like it has a single wedged front, not the double wedge.

Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: Impossible343 on September 10, 2013, 09:56:59 AM
Brilliant so far wham. I've only spotted 8 bugs so far.
1. Axe bots can't self right
2. There is an extra collision mesh at the front of DTK
3. Hypno-Disc's turning is way too slow.
4.Some robots (such as Tornado) don't drive straight properly.
5.Some axe bots(mainly X-terminator) havok quite a bit.
6.X-terminator doesn't have enough battery power (Or was it intentional)
7.Some robot skins are backward.
8. Roadblock's body doesn't seem to reflect light properly

But apart from that, Excellent work!

Not replied to this in a long time, so get out of the way first: Nice going on the Beta Wham, but I genuinely panicked a bit when I saw you say you lost it all ._.

ANYWAY, BUG REPORT.

I've not played around enough with the Axe bots, purely cause I don't like the switch button on them. Too used to fire. Although on Terrorhurtz it works brilliantly c:

The one bug I've found is when I was fighting Razer (Not sure if this was just me and I installed it wrong, though I doubt it), the bottom of him was sort of half existant. The center of it was more towards the front right wheel, so it looked a liiiittle dodgy. I'll post a screenshot if needed/when I next get chance

Thanks guys for reporting the bugs :) However I fear I may not have time to fix all these issues by myself...


So I'm recruiting


I'm looking for someone who would be able to help with fixing all of these sorts of bugs in weights, balancing, skins, ect.
If you feel brave enough aswell I may be able to teach that person my method of creating custom meshes for the game... it still isnt perfect (hence the problem with Collision problems, The Revolutionist's shell shadows being 'strobe-y', ect. ect.) It's a new method and to my knowledge I think I'm one of the first to do it...


But anyway I would like to have someone who can do aforementioned things help me out with this. If you're interested apply within and whoever I feel would be good to have help me I'll inbox to sort out rest of the details.


Anyway, if you feel you would be useful, the please do help! I already have akshaylan helping with UI so another pair of hands couldn't hurt :)

There was a directory called "lightning" and I decided to move the DSL2-TC lightningframe.txt to the components folder. Strange enough the right-side of it has an extra part of the frame but the other side doesn't.

The only other buffs I can think of at the moment are to improve Dominator 2 and Behemoth's batteries, and to make Behemoth's scoop more powerful. At the moment, it can barely lift opponents.
 
 
Also, is it possible to make spinners stop again when they're immobilised or destroyed? At the moment, they keep on spinning even after the control board goes.

Although regarding HypnoDisc- the teeth have the same potency as they did in DSL 2.1, but it's the much better motor (A Tornado Mer Gearbox rather than a Flatmotor), along with how much bigger and more durable they are that makes them that much more powerful.

I also stripped down the spinner on Typhoon 2, and it's powered by a 6 mag- more than I'd expected behind it, but it's not really powerful enough. It will fit a Dual Perm in if that'll improve the power, but it does require the batteries to be shifted around a bit.

I also had a look into rendering Chaos 2's internals a bit as well-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89040NewChaos2Stuff.png)
I used the ones from the old DSL Chaos 2 here, which had aspects from the real machine, such as the wiring and batteries under the flipper, which I thought looked good. Battery position's a little bit wonky at the moment, but it's not a bad start. For some reason though, the paintjob doesn't show up in the Bot Lab, but it does when you're actually driving it.

Post by: helloface on September 27, 2013, 09:42:29 AM
If you just tap the button rather than holding it, it will be more than enough power to bring the axe over And it reduces he chance of havoks.

I believe you have to hold the button down until it has completed it's 180 degree arc. If you retract the weapon before that point, it'll havok.
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on September 27, 2013, 11:41:18 AM
It also helps that when driving, you hold down the button responsible for retracting the axe because sometimes it likes to swing forward on its own accord, causing a havok.

its totally possible to make a torque hammer that doesn't havok at all. just make sure the weight is evenly distributed on the weapon (put a few counterbalances on the hammers base) and follow basic building techniques to avoid havok (minimize axles, heavier chassis, etc.).
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: GoldenFox93 on October 10, 2013, 08:45:53 PM
Though to bring this back, I must say that I've not had any problems with Terrorhurtz. Whenever the axes have havoked, it's usually been with either Killertron or more frequently X-Terminator, but Terrorhurtz works OK for me.

Probably not. I will admit that components like Behemoth and Diotoir's scoops need some more HP, likewise. They break off pretty easily when you attack them with any semi-decent Spinner.

(I had to use RapidShare as the GTM Host wouldnt work for some reason)


You'll need to install the files into a clean DSL 3.0 Beta game


Oh, and have some bots to play with while you're at it:

The new arena looks real nice, I had a chance to play with it for the first time recently, and I'm almost ready to start using it in my videos.  I know Wham hasn't posted here recently, so would anyone be willing to do me a personal favour and make a slightly modified version for me?  I want to....


1) Turn off the flipper & dropzone but keep the other hazards active, and
2) Adjust the starting points so that the four bots form a square instead of a rectangle.


Thanks a lot, here's the download link to Wham's arena if you can't find it https://rs931p4.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/rsapi.cgi?sub=download&fileid=3181725481&filename=Robot%20Wars%20(Beta).rar&bin=1

Bit of a nostalgia overload...
Hey guys!! :)
Really sorry I havent been on here in AGES. Been busy, plus I have a tendency to leave a project when I'm halfway through it (I still have 2 more Sims 3 EP's I was gonna do waiting to be finished!). Work on this since my last post has been... Miniscule. Petite. Tiny.
However, I was reminded about this as I have decided to do an advert for this as part of my BTEC Media work. So we may have an advert soon for an unfinished project (Yay...... :dumb) )
I have tried however on many an occasion to do the odd little bit, however my 3DSM 5 isnt working (i'll post details later - I'm writing this from a College Media lesson atm).
Anyway, just letting you all know what's going on :) Had a quick skim through the messesages in this thread and it looks like a lot of you have been doing some much needed tweaking work. Much appreciated!! Later on I'll have a closer look through the last few messages and might ask one or two of you if you wouldnt mind being my right hand guys (or gals, if any have joined since I've been away!).
Shall post more later about situation and error with 3DSM, and hopefully if we can get that sorted out, we might get to being 3/4's of the way finished! (Yay!!!)
'Till then, keep safe guys :)

Is this just me or did you make the AI more agressive against human players? It feels like the AI is more likely to attack me then another AI even when the other AI bot is right next to them. and I`m not talking bout team mode

Thanks for the download links! I'm loving the arena! The AI robots are nicely done as well, especially the older robots like Roadblock and Killertron!

The only problem I have is that it seems to be a lot harder to add my own AI bots, I hope that gets fixed in a later version.

Well, when I installed DSL, the bindings.py file had all of the robots in order from the first bot in the first team, to the last in the last team, and there were spaces between each team, so it was easy to understand, it also commented on which teams were which. When I installed this pack, however, all the robots in the list all seemed to be mixed up and don't seem to be in any order so it's confusing.

Also, I'm not sure if I should be asking this here, but is it possible I add new AI teams? It must be, because from all the mods I've installed in the past, I have ended up with over 100 team folders (Seriously, the folders I have go up to team105!), but this pack is only using the 15 it came with, which makes sense. I love all of the AI bots it came with, but I would love to watch my own AI fight them.

For the first part - they're alphabetical :P
It's the same as Stock RA2 - just replace the one you want as you would DSL. Order doesn't matter.


And yes, it is possible. I'm pretty sure that's in a tutorial somewhere, but I'll jot it here.

Oh right, that's cleared that up, thanks! I'll PM you if I have any problems.

Actually, another issue I'm having with this mod, is that some of my robots have had their controls mirrored, like down would be for going forward and left and right are switched around, and even if the controls aren't doing that, they eventually do in a random right, and this has only started happening when I installed the mod.
I was playing a tournament in RA2 (one the ones you go to by going to robot workshop) recently with a robot to pass the time, and it's controls were normal. Then suddenly, when I entered a tabletop tournament, the controls got reversed, I never edited the robot in any way between that fight and the one before it, what is causing that?
Title: Re: Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack
Post by: trade12 on March 26, 2014, 06:53:06 PM
Yeah... i'm doing it :P


A lot of the replicas I've been posting in Clicks DSL thread will be used in this :P
I've also made RA2 versions of the non real robots found in the AOD and ED games :) Just to fill up the spaces :P


I'll most likely post pics as I go along, however here's some of the things I have so far, or am hoping to achieve:


-Normal 13 teams, consisting of a lightweight and heavyweight robot based on those found in AOD and ED, and the 3rd HW spot taken up by a replica bot. There might also be a couple of extra teams for other bots, e.g. House Robots, Antweights, ect.


-A few more new arenas (i'm sure most of you have seen my work in my RW arena thread)


-New UI based on the RW Games


-Some new music has been done inspired on the games (Even replaced the hopp_club music with the results music from RW)


Basically I want to try and make an AI pack that is a cross between RA2 and the RW games :P
However I'll need a couple of helping hands :)
I'd like to ask GF and Ducky to help as they've been massive helps already :P
I'll need:


-Good UI'ers


-Some people to make good skins for the non-real RW robots


-Some good Arena/GMF creators (To turn my arena meshes into working arenas, Click's already working on the RW arena itself)


I'm mostly working on the replicas and robots themselves, and trying to organise as many things as possible :P
So... anyone fancy helping out? :) Other than that... stay tuned :P
Can i download this?????

RR AI? You sure that's the right one, Tommy? There was an RR AI released a few years ago that wasn't this.
Either way as long as you just click 'download' on those sites and not like 'download using our super software' or something there shouldn't be any bloatware whatsoever.

EDIT: Yeah, see below. Just a case of not asking for the bloatware :P

Right here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=5 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=5)
Welcome to the forums.

I mean for Wham's pack.

I assumed the link posted on the last page was for the DSL 3 Beta, I was just wondering if he had made a version for the 2.1

And thanks very much.

Ok, is there a download to this UI anywhere. I like it and I want it.

I think it's only fair that I write this post in this thread.

The pack will be discontinued from my end. I will no longer be working on it due to the fact that I no longer have time to do stuff like this. I'm currently in a hard stage of life and so would just be holding the pack until 2018 if I was to continue it. So I will no longer be doing any more work on it.

However, I have handed all rights over to HereticBlue to use everything I have made for this pack (released and unreleased) for his amazing pack. I will be sending everything I have over to him later on. Please go and support HereticBlue's work as it is incredible!!

I'm really sorry that I won't be able to continue this pack, but I will occasionally be around on the forums to see how everyone's doing and how things are going.

Thanks,
Matt Hunt (WhamettNuht)

Can someone point me towards a DSL 3 download? I seem to be oblivious to any mention of it (I can't find it at all -.-)

(And bye bye Wham :L sad to see you let this go, I'm glad I'll get to see some of your work elsewhere at least :D)

If you already have the AI pack just copy the bots from the AI folders into Robot Designs?

I thought they were different robots to the AI mod. Sorry.

Instead, does anyone have the UI/RWED themed background?

Seriously? There's a link right there and the post right before that one contains three links.

If you do, send me them and the UI if you have it.
Did he upload them replicas?

Okay, I'm going to lock this as nobody has anything useful to contribute.
As you could see if you read Jaydee's message, he's looking for the Robot Designs folder in particular, and he notes the link he gave was dead.

EDIT: I don't think he ever uploaded those ones.
