If any of you clever hackers wonder what file format are the components (and bots) going to be sent to the client for 3d preview, here's an sample file: http://botexchange.org/sample.jsonIt's encoded in JSON (a very lightweight notation system), so it's parsable in almost any language, especially by JavaScript.

Anna Blogowska.
whasat? Haha, that's a friend of mine. That'll teach me to close Pidgin the next time I make a screenshot.

 Here's the current frontend... I didn't have too much time to work today, so I'm a bit lagging behind my schedule.

Yes. But you were as right as if you said "the robot exchange will work by displaying images to the user's screen".
I just simply geussed that you had something to read the robots coding and dsiplay it as a 3D model, no need to be Youknowhaty with me.
And what I'm trying to make you understand is that this is no guess, since it's the only way to do it, hence my analogy.

Don't overexert yourself... I think the reason Goose never finished his new exchange was because he tried to make too many cool features. If he set the bar just a bit lower I think it would be out by now. Most of the features up there are already done. Righ tnow I'm testing, enhancing, securing and making an UI for all of this. That said, if you can pull off all that stuff it would be awesome. Just don't make it so big it crumbles under its own weight (metaphorically speaking). It surely won't literally. Using Pytohn+Django+Nginx+Memcached, it's rock solid and super fast One question. How on earth would you do a 3D preview? The .gmf data isn't contained in the .bot file. You would need a database of all the common .gmf files and skins used by bots and somehow load that in the preview window. Which is just one step away from actually loading the bots in the game. I have a database. Bots are being converted to a 3d file format readable by O3D (kinda like VRML in the DSL teaser days). I can imagine problems loading previews of bots with burst motors too, since you would need to get the angle of the motor as well as its .gmf.
Yes, I just hit that bug today. I have a fix in the making.

At first, I feel bad for Goose because he has put in lots of work with his exchange. But to an extent, he did drop the ball on this. He has promised it before and not delivered, and I cannot wait to see how this one works out. Is there a tentative release date?
When it's done. (no, but seriously, I already have a virtual deadline which I will make)

No, it's completely new. Planned features: - Users and Accounts
- Voting
- Automatic bot parsing (stock/dsl, weight, name, weightclass, etc...)
- View inside of bot (high quality raytraced render done serverside)
- 3d preview of bot (WebGL/O3D)
- and more...

Alright, so I started doing a layout for the exchange... Here's a quick preview:  Thanks to JoeBlo for the awesome logo.

Alright, uploading and processing work. Whereas you can't browse bots through the web right now, here's what I can get through the command line:
>>> all_bots = Bot.objects.all()
>>> my_bot = all_bots[0]
>>> my_bot.name
u'Forkie'
>>> my_bot.author
<User: sergeb>
>>> my_bot.weight
239
>>> my_bot.weightclass
<WeightClass: Lightweight>
>>> my_bot.pack
<Pack: Stock>
>>> my_bot.status
u'Uploaded'
tl;dr: Except a closed beta soon.

Yes, I'm working on it. It uses PyRA2 and Django to do its job.
>>> readBot("/media/FCB0FBB7B0FB768C/Robot Arena 2/Stock/Robot Designs/XTRA_Tailwhip.bot", None)

It's a set of Python classes for bot and geometry files, with functions to read data from .bot and .gmf files. They're a bit outdated (they use python-numeric instead of the newer numpy) which makes them unusable form current versions of Python. It's an excellent base for a bot exchange, and  , I'm on vacation now and with access to a laptop, I might as well finally write one.

Yet we can't get every member to rate so as to not get down/upvote squads, and opinions biased by stupid crap like flamewars (vide the S32<->Reier drama). Ergo, some people HAVE to be left out of the equation.
I also suggest that with every vote, one must also write an argument telling why did he/she vote this way. Also, when calculating the average, delete 10% of the highest and 10% of the lowest scores (eg: votes 45, 29, 10, 89, 13, 23, 45, 84, 20, 39, that is 10 votes, so we remove the highest score and the lowest score, which are 89 and 10. This gives us 37 instead of 40, which looks much realistic when looking at the votes, and is much closer to the median). This makes for a much more fair score, and also helps fight fanboyism.

Personally Sparkles's sig is annoying me more...
Yeah, that too.

As much as I like my iPhone 3G, I don't think I'm upgrading anytime soon. And I'm still waiting for updated Android builds for the 3G, once they get power management and support for dual booting with the new 4.0 LLB and support the new baseband firmware, I'm switching.

I already have a gmod server if anybody cares.
