Signups closes 2015-04-13
To enter, build your bot accordingly to the rules below. Then send me a pm containing your bot as well as its bindings and ai.py file if custom. There are several tutorials on how to implement an AI to your bot. I prefer this one. Ask if any questions.
Good luck!

Signups:

• Kurt Wylde
• jaydee99
• Paranoia
• Craaig
• 090901

Tournament format: 

  8 entrants will be split up in to 2 groups by random. Matches will be 1v1 round-robin. The winner from each group will go straight to semi-finals without fear of facing each other. Bot 2 and 3 of each group will also move on, while the last bot from each group will be out of the tourney. If two bots end up on the same score, general RR rules apply. If 3 bots end up with the same score, then a tie-breaker will be held (1v1v1) The bot that gets eliminated first (or if times up, score the lowest amount of points) will finish last of the three, then general RR rules apply.  The bot finishing second in each group will then fight against third placed bot from the other group to decide the other two semifinalists. Screenshot to hopefully help out with the explanation:

All matches will be one round. In round-robins this small, tie-breakers are not uncommon, so be prepared. 

General Rules:

• DSL 2.1
• Ruleset - DSL IRL
• Weight class - Heavyweight "HW" (up to 800.0 kg)
• 8 entrants
• One entry per person.
• Bots has to be AI'd before sent. (this means bindings has to be included when sending your bot)
• If your bot is declined, you will have 48h to send a updated version before loosing your spot in queue. If the updated version is once again declined you'll loose your spot.
• You're not allowed to update your bot once it has been approved unless there's a rule change.
• Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted.
• Champion: Tournament Champion will be awarded with fireworks and a decal. The winning bot will automatically enter the (hopefully) second installment of FullImpact. The builder will receive a second spot as well.
• Bots that didn't make it out the group stage are not allowed to enter future FullImpact tournaments without serious changes.

Building Rules:

• Weight class: Heavyweight "HW" (up to 800.0 kg)
• Realistic rule. From what I understand, Most seem to have come to terms regarding this, to me, somewhat subjective style. The entries for The Great Round Robin 2 https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16577.0 gives an indication of what kind of entries I expect for FullImpact.
• In-game glitches are allowed since I doubt one can abuse it without breaking realistic rule, pls let me know if this ain't the case.
• BFE is allowed for chassis design as long as bot stays realistic. All other external editing is forbidden.
• Clusterbots (max 2) are allowed, their combined weight shall not exceed 800.0 kg.
• No custom components except Madiaba's Smart Zones v3.
• No armour attached to the underside of the baseplate.
• No Narmour
• Cheatbot2 components: MOE motor, Judge Burst (max 2)

Battle rules:

• 3 minute matches.
• Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament Arena
• Hazards On.
• Judging will be scored by points.
• If Havok, match will be restarted.
  If the same bot causes Havok two times in a row during a match that bot will be disqualified, loosing the match. This rule only applies during group stage.

I will only enter if necessary. My entry is Forester

Modifications / UI and damagebars

« on: September 06, 2014, 01:17:21 PM »

So I been tinkering around the UI files but I yet found a way to change the size of damagebars. As you know, the armor bar is shorter than both battery/psi but I don't know how this was achieved. I wanted to create a template where "alert" was removed and instead the armor bar would be the same size as the others.  Anyone know if this is possible?
