Site News and Feedback / Re: Image uploader gone?

Yeah, I'd like the uploader back too (I don't have imgur, I rely on the uploader for portraits/showcase pics). Is it gone for good, or just being worked on?

Well, since the first Battle Arcade was to celebrate my first year of GTM, how about a second for year 2?
Rules are similar to the first Battle Arcade:




DSL DSL-IRL Middleweight
16 Entrants
cheatbot2 banned
NO outside modification (e.g. BFE, AAM), HAX Mode banned, RA2CF banned except Ro7Break.
Clusterbots banned (I'd rather not have a repeat of the first one, thanks).
Tourney will be double elimination.
One havok restart will be allowed (if it was obvious that the havok directly caused the loss) before forfeit.
You have one major update (defined here as an update that requires me to change AI), and unlimited minor updates. No updates may be submitted after signups.
Fights will be 1v1 bo3, hazards on, until winners top 4, when it will become bo5, hazards off (including for the remainder of losers).
I reserve the right to refuse a bot if I feel it is trying to break rules/abuse loopholes.


Now for the gimmick: If you weren't there for the first Battle Arcade, the gimmick was that the arena was randomly selected from a list that could be contributed to before the tourney entered signups. This will carry over. Feel free to suggest arenas if they are reasonably balanced/skinned! (Tabletop is banned, for example, due to the arena wobbling.)


Current arena list:

If stock is selected, I will be entering Nightshade 3vo:
This is now a sign-ups topic. You have 4 months
And with that, deadline is November 1st, or 1 week after we hit 10 entrants, whichever comes first. Get to building!

High Dive Firepit when?


Noon sharp, January 90th, -1


Anyway, a reminder: Tomorrow is the LAST DAY TO VOTE ON MODE AND ARENAS. I will be moving this thing to signups A.S.A.P. on Saturday, so get moving if you want to suggest something.

Some notes: Added Honey I Shrunk the Bots. Tbh, I don't think it's really that imbalanced (the worst thing that could happen is getting stuck on the board XD)
Removed Fight 2 the Finish. It was never actually supposed to be on the list in the first place. During the first battle arcade, it tended to glitch out and have bots spawning in the corner post/wall.

Do it man, your tourney, don't see anything wrong with any of those arenas to be honest.
Not serious enough.

Also, if the Pyramid is that one from DSL I say remove it.

why does every tournament have to be super edgy tryhard serious

why cant we just have some fun arenas
Literally this. This tourney was designed to be a matter not only of whose bot/bot type was better, but a matter of what arena you got. It's like the Battle Arcade from the Pokemon Games (which is where I get the name and arena gimmick): Absolutely ridiculously imbalanced toward whatever side got the better end of the roll. I actually considered adding the Insanity Arena and Geosphere Battledome to the first tourney, but there IS a line I'm drawing. I don't want it to be all RNG, but I do want that element, and you have to admit, watching anything play out on, say, the AON2 arena or The Pyramid is absolutely hilarious. In fact, the bo3/5 mechanic was actually implemented so that people didn't rage from getting screwed by the arena in a bo1.

Well, coming off hiatus, what better to build than an experimental offshoot of a type that never gets run in HW anyway?

I'm considering adding the following arenas, thought I'd run it by you guys, since they're a bit gimmicky:


DSL Ice Arena
DSL Cave Arena
Honey I Shrunk the Bots
The Batcave


Thoughts?

Off-Topic Discussion / Two Years...
« on: September 09, 2017, 02:58:33 PM »
Two years ago today, some kid joined Gametechmods. Two years later, that kid's been on hiatus for like 6 months and is getting sick of it. I'm going to try to get a revival together. Anyway, it's been two years! And I don't regret coming here. It's been wacky, and though I only have one tourney win (ironically enough, because I LOST), I do enjoy bot building. GTM was somewhere I originally went to see S_R's robot wars replicas, but, eventually, it became a place to see how to really play RA2. See you guys around soon!

I have it (my cousin got it for me, I don't play it all that much). I was actually able to make a combo lock in-game.
