Aren't they all dizzy? :)

On a more serious note. Thank you. Looking forward seeing it and the other bots people have updated. I know year by year we are all getting more sophisticated and the bots more powerful.

STP in this context is Stop the Presses to I would hazard to guess that STDP is Stop the Digital Presses.

I'm guessing you work in a newspaper business?

Not me, I work at Intel.

I'm trying to rebuild Crimson Fury Xtreme.

Also Starcore, what binding do you use for AIing a SnS/HS hybrid? Bee.py ?

Jeff, is there any empty slots left for new teams in SC4?
May i do enter a team from my famous SHWs (SHWs in starcore packs are the weakest part) and some efficient new-type/freak/unseen/new-idea/innovator or whatever-call-it bots? Cos i think no one will want to see just another good AC or rammer or whatever. You tell me before some time that different types of bots not yet included in the pack are very welcomed. I think i can rebuild some of my strange-looking bots to make them better and submit them. What you think?
(Tip : My new "the infinite" loads for under 3 mins, and it can better...)
Also, too bad that i don't have enough free time, but if i have some i maybe can help with whatever skinnig work, im "the alpha and the omega" at photoshop when have the needed time... If you want me of course...
Good to have you back BTW!
Peace out.

If you use tiny trinity as castle guard keep trebuchet in the pack. Put it on another team

good to see my bot that got upgraded by starcore will still be in :) it will be a real pain to beat i hope.

ian, where have you gone

ianh05 · « **Reply #110 on:** March 23, 2009, 04:46:47 AM »

when i was playing i got bad headaches, especially from getting all those tourneys running. i think it stressed me out a fair bit so I'm having some time away. I've always had problems staying focused on tasks, that's why i built lw's most the time.

*Rant Mode On*

Someone want to let System32 know that we discussed in these forums not penalizing AI bots of keeping in their weight class due to the 2KG overhead of placing Smartzones.

I gave these forums the option of either forcing bots to take the penalty and stay 2KG under the weight limits when needing a Smartzone or allowing them to exceed the limit by the amount of the Smartzone and the active members of the the timel voted to prefer and allow the exceeding.

This problem is why I asked Mad and ACAMS to finish the Zero Weight Smartzones for inclusion in Starcore 4 so we don't have to listen to the naive or ignorant b*tch about AI bots that push the weightclass limits due the 2KG overhead of Smartzones.

I don't appreciate getting b*tched (even gentle b*tching) at in PMs when I make suggestions of how improve bots for inclusing in the pack. If people don't like the way I have done things they can go make their own packs. Over the years and at every step of the way I have but things to vote of this community, explained my views and taught through articles and diverse examples. I would like to think I have maintained some of the highest ethics and standards in this community. More then once I have pulled this community back together when it was at each others throats. I have probably done more for helping people and showing the way to making better bots and packs across the years then just about anyone in RA2. My decisions have never been "silly". Should I have to tolerate being shrugged off when making suggestions for improvement?

If System32 or anyone doesn't want to heed my suggestions, then they don't need to submit bots for inclusion. Makes me wonder why I even try...

I support your work silently, continues it, we're plenty here, happy to have your packs to challenge our bots and increase our building skills.

go On !

You can ban the kid if you want, Starcore.

But for your smartzone weight problem, can't you just lower the original smart zone's weight and then distribute this mod with the next version of your pack?

Somebody · « **Reply #116 on:** March 26, 2009, 05:53:50 AM »

I know that Mad's sz pack is in the components part of the downloads section, and those all weight just 0.1 kgs each.

Sage · « **Reply #117 on:** March 26, 2009, 05:05:42 PM »

Starcore, i know you havent been here for a while, but System32 is not very respected in this community for his bot building skills, and you shouldn't take his words to heart too much.

making an AI pack is your decision. if you want to, finish it. we would all very much appreciate it. on the other hand, it sounds like its becoming a chore for you to do so. if it's no fun for you to finish, then don't. there's no point in making a pack if you dont want to.

System32 · « **Reply #118 on:** March 26, 2009, 05:15:29 PM »

hey, I didn't know about the smartzones weighing 2KG, I even said so in my Reply PM to your one..

Naryar · « **Reply #119 on:** April 01, 2009, 09:55:42 AM »

I totally wonder if you're going to release the next version of SCv4 today, Starcore...
