Tournament Archives / Re: GTMCS 2: Discussion

For all the people voting for DSL-S, look at how many people have entered DSL-S for International Wars. It's a dead meta that's been entirely replaced by Ironforge.

Reserved spots are now lost, OP updated to remove entrants who have not yet sent a bot.

Tournament Archives / Re: GTMCS 2: Discussion

For such a 'prestigious' tournament (or as close as an RA2 tournament can get, at least), I think we should use a GSL or at least Swiss format with group stages instead of a straight double elim bracket. I also think nobody gives a sh** about the prizes, being random custom components only usable by a single person. I'd also like to see some less serious side tournaments, like Sumo.

I know you've mentioned that you're struggling to find hosts; I'd probably be available to host, if you trust me enough. I'd like to start uni and see how that affects my free time before I commit to anything, though.

Discussion / Which bot are you most proud of?
« on: August 19, 2017, 12:59:31 PM »
Post the one bot you're most proud of, in any version of RA2, from any time. No sh**posterino please.

A demo of the overlays I'm going to be using.



Just a video to remind myself how to make videos, hence the 1 minute round time and forgetting to put action cam on

That's super cool, particularly the wedged version

It might not be my place to say, but it looks to me like you have all these ideas you want to implement, but you don't have much of a base game right now. Multiplayer is a very complex and difficult thing to implement properly, and I personally think you should just get the physics engine and a couple bots sorted first as a proof of concept (like Jules did), and from there you can add onto that. I've fallen into the trap of having a huge scope for an awesome project, then realising after a ton of work that I can't do everything at once, and I end up with nothing to show. I wouldn't want this project to befall a similar fate.


You can conceptualise and post cool ideas all day, but if you can't implement those ideas into a game it's all for nothing.

5 more bots accepted for DSL-IRL. I've updated the OP to reflect this and other submitted bots. Please check the OP to make sure I haven't missed your entry.

Also, this is the last day for reserved countries to enter bots. Starting tomorrow, all countries with no bot submissions (in italics in the OP) will be up for grabs.

Yes, you need to edit ra2.cfg (you can open it with notepad). IIRC you're looking for

GraphicDetail
GraphicEffects
GraphicMessages

for video quality and

FSDisplayWidth
FSDisplayHeight
FS3DDisplayWidth
FS3DDisplayHeight

for resolution.

Kinda bland, I like what you did with the DSL bars though.

1031
Hey guys, I'll process signup updates tonight or tomorrow. If you've reserved a spot but not sent a bot yet, tomorrow is your last day to submit a bot before your country is open for everyone again.

1032
If the focus of the game is multiplayer, it will die off pretty quickly due to a lack of sustainable userbase. While multiplayer functionality would be great, I think the focus should be AI combat. It should also be possible for users to make the AI control their own bots.

Can you post your bindings line? If you made a new team, did you update teams.txt properly?

At the risk of spamming the thread with off topic bs:

You're finished with this forum anyways HB. The RWRA2 mod team is long disbanded. Why do you care?

On that logic i have a Dystopia shell in my garage thats not being used anymore. Why not break in and help yourself to it?

Hell theres a PS3 in my bedroom which i havnt used for at least 2 years. Guess that gives you the right to just take it from there and keep it for yourself right?

Its called Intellectual property theft, and no it is not ok. It is a criminal offence to be using that content without permission. The content creator has the right to control distribution until they give the express permission otherwise. I guess otherwise Game would be totally cool with me grabbing the new Gran Turismo when it comes out and walking out the store shouting "I think Facebook should be able to use the content aswell".
Not stealing, taking a copy of and distributing abandonware. It's the same principle that means we can distribute RA2 for free. You've downloaded RA2 haven't you? If so, are you a thief? If you're gonna come on the forum out of nowhere to spam a tournament thread, at least don't make your point based on a strawman, and next time please keep it out of a tournament thread. Thank you.

The following bot brought to you by a god-tier eurobeat mix



Probably not combat effective at all. Had a cooler version with all black alu panels instead of polycarb, but weight limits sh** all over that version.

You can use Omni or Flipper2, both would work. Omni would be easiest.

OP updated. If you've sent a bot and I missed it, or you've reserved a country and your name isn't there, please do let me know.

Also, I forgot to say how I'll be deciding IRL matches that run out of time. I'll be judging the decision, rather than using WBP, and I'll be using the RW system of Style, Control, Damage and Aggression, with Damage being the deciding factor in a 2-2 tie.


Reminder: Country reservations expire this Saturday (19th August) at 12pm. Enter a bot before then to lock in your reservation.

Another bland tombklone, not much to say really. Can you spend your 18kg that you have left on giving it some flair? Maybe some wheelguards or something?


Oh, and you only need one of those batts to make your bot last 3 minutes IIRC.
