NEW: The final is up on the website!

Hi guys and welcome to the thread for the official RODE Tribute Tournament.
As you've probably read in the Robot Rampage thread Dragonfire has left us:( so i have decided to host a tournament in his honour and for all he has done for us here at gametechmods.com


Layout:

This tournament will be stock Middleweights (as that is DF's favourite weight class in stock), it will be a straight forward battle with 2 rumbles to start with all the entries fighting. The winners of the rumbles will then fight each other in the final brawl and the winner of the final round will recive a special award from DragonFire himself.


Rules:

Stock M/W's as i said

1. Stacking is allowed

2. No cheatbot2 but you can have AI parts

3. No skinning (my RA2 doesent agree with them)

4. Glitching is allowed (if a havoc explosion decides how the match ends there will be 1 re-match)

5. You will have to AI your own bot.

The tournament will take place in the DSL BLadeArena


As you can guess from the bracket i need 16 combatants:
1 - R0B0SH4RK
2 - Somebody
3 - 40757
4 - Pwnator
5 - Scrap Daddy
6 - Roboman2444
7 - JoeBlo
8 - Jack Daniels

(Your name will apear once your entry is AIed)

Send entries to: darkviper22(dont_type_this_or_the_brackets)@gmail.com

(Send the bot file with the bots name e.g. example.bot and the bindings, and don't forget to include your forum name, thank you.)

The brackets, entries and other additional information can be found on the New official RODE Tournament site:

Good luck to everyone entries due in by 16 May so get building!

Chatterbox / Guitar Tabs

« on: December 01, 2008, 11:20:05 AM »

Hi everyone, i've just started learning the guitar i thought i'd share the songs i know from my lessons and ask if there are other players out there who would like to share their music with me, here are the songs from my first lesson, (it's in tabliture so some of you may not understand so heres how to read it, bassically there are six lines representing each string, the top one is the thinest and the bottom one the thickest string, and on each line there is a number, thats the fret you hold that string on to play the note so say you had this,

]-----------------------------------------------[
]-----------------------------------------------[
]-------0--------3---------5--------------------[
]-------0--------3---------5--------------------[
]-----------------------------------------------[
]-----------------------------------------------[

that would mean you strum the 3rd and 4th string open because it's nought and then hold the same 2 strings down at fret 3 strum them both then hold them at 5 and strum them, simple once you get used to it!) :biggrin:

so here is smoke on the water to get you started,

]--------------------------------------------------------------[
]--------------------------------------------------------------[
]-------0--------3---------5----------0-------3-----6------5--[
]-------0--------3---------5----------0-------3-----6------5--[
]--------------------------------------------------------------[
]--------------------------------------------------------------[

]---------------------------------------------]
]---------------------------------------------]
]-------0--------3---------5--------3------0-]
]-------0--------3---------5--------3------0-]
]---------------------------------------------]
]---------------------------------------------]

okay? enjoy and please do ask for other songs and share them with me if you have some tabliture (i dunno how to read notes)

Contests / MC BOTER

« on: September 13, 2008, 07:28:05 AM »

MC BOTER:-Monthly Component Battle that's Open To Every RA2er.

Hi guys, this is a new idea for a competition, Its basicaly like BOTM but with components.

Each month users who want to enter create a component which i will set, so for example if i said a M/W spin motor i would be asking for competitors to build, a spin motor no heavier than 25kg and make sure it obeys the MC BOTER  rules.

MC BOTER rules
Each component created can easily be created to be 1kg but with 50000 hitpoints, concussin and peircing, so i've devised a rule board that will make it more realistic,

Weapons:
Spikes: 150 hitpionts    
           20 piercing        per kilo
           0.1 concussion  

Hammers: 125 hp
              2 peirce       per kilo
              2 concus  

Saw's and Axes: 160 hp
                       10 pierce     per kilo
                       1 concus

Motors:
Spin Motors:  80 rpm per kilo

Burst:  0.2 speed per kilo

Extras:
Flippers: 0.05 hp
            0.3 pierce      per kilo
            0.4 concus  

Weight Limits: L/W 15kg M/W 25kg H/W 40kg SH/W 75kg

Please tell me if i am talking in the wrong measurments or the measurments are too unreasonable or too unrealistic.

each competitor must  make the component and make all required files to make it work in stock and then create a splash of the component like BOTM the component will be judged on the splash, so i advise a nice skin and and origional shape not a copied one from another component. in the splash please put the weight and the hp,concus and the peirce or the rpm depending on what component it is.

when a competitor wins they will email me all the required files to install them into ra2 i will then send a copy of every winners file to DragonFire who will put  them alltogether in a yearly pack for every one who visits gametechmods.com
Thanks again to DragonFire for doing the pack for me!:bigsmile:

and as an extra bonus the winnners of the first 12 months will have thier components in the promotional vid which will go on utube!

please post on this thread about this idea and if you guys like the idea or not

Yours in roboteiring

Discussion / Help the idiot please!!

« on: August 29, 2008, 12:16:52 PM »

hecko every one this thread was started because of an anoying glitch in ra2.

When i create a team folder called "Team1" in C:/Program Files/RA2-DSL/Robot Arena 2/Teams and i create a 2nd team in the game it should save the bots i make in the second team into the "Team1" folder right? well it dosen't, so i tried exporting my bot and what d'ya know my bot's not in the Robot Designs folder either,:vista:. if anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this problem please post on this thread. p.s. it does the same thing in stock so it's definitely not dsl's fault
