Modifications / H.T.S. AI - In progress
« on: September 14, 2014, 11:34:22 AM »
As I said in my stock showcase, my theory is that starcore got to his position via releasing starcore pack v.1 then, adding and beating his bots until he got to a state where he had killing machines, as well as the fact that stock needs to be more diverse.

H.T.S is an acronym for Harder Than Stock, so, naturally, its supposed to be harder than the standard stock ai

Current team progress

Red Zone- Bots completed and AI'd, HW needs to be updated
Prehistoric- In progress
The Bad Boys- In progress
Team Dragon- Not Started
BLACK STORM- Not Started
Spikeheads- Not Started
North Polars- Not Started
HIGH VOLTAGE- Not Started
Team HEX- Not Started
Team Z- Not Started
SteelYard Dog- Not Started
RIOT- Not Started
MEGATON- Not Started
The Scrappers- Not Started

Images:
(Not Yet)

Plans:
To get harder with every release, resulting in my building quality becoming higher
I will aim to have 2-5 releases, depending on my ethic

Anyway, feel free to criticise, add ideas, PM me about stuff etc

Good luck is all that can be said. Until you put out any actual content there will be doubt.
Thanks scrap, nice to hear :)

As for the bot, if you wanna go wedged lw I would use a blue snapper. Wedge game is hardly a topic in lw because all the bots a lw hammer should beat won't have wedges anyway, eg Hs and rammers. It's a toss up for popups but good luck getting under a pop up with that high center of gravity anyway. That's why hammers like turn down for what focus on defense and the hammer than a wedge.
Hmm, after working on some bots for HTS ai, I will have a crack at it

TBH I don't blame everyone for taking the mic out of my bot. It is truly crap compared to the others. Well judging from appearences.
I'm not taking the mic, but compared to the others it has a bad weapon, but it could pull a gaffel

Oh, even if I change something by one pixel, the textures screw up, any help?
Did you keep it the same size, name, and file type?
Yes

You need to look for the UI Folder and find the file "inforgrames" and you open that up in MS Paint or whatever program and you mess around with that and it will change the infogrames to whatever you edited it as.
Ah, cheers mate

Right, I might make a thread on this to be clearer.

basically, its my theory that starcore got better at building by making the starcore v.1 ai pack, then making other bots to challenge them, getting better every time.

So in my head, I thought that if this worked for starcore, it might work for me.

I'll be honest here, as I've gotten a bit more mature(well, kind of) stock has opened up to me, so, I decided I'll follow starcores example and make my own ai pack, and honestly, aren't things better when they are diverse? I will call it HTS ai and hopefully people will enjoy it.

As well as offering the community something, it will be a huge learning kerb for me as it's obvious my skills are crap in stock and I find it difficult to stack and things like that. And it's better to be gradual than n00b-M4STER OF ST4AKzZ

Well, here comes the criticism

The TC makers and skinners will know this one

How would I change the starting 'infogrames' picture when I bootup stock to something different?

By prey I mean what they eat, cats play with their food before killing it, they like to let it think it had got away before catching it again, my friends cat once brought in a dead bird
I don't see why that should be off-putting.
You don't want bird feathers and blood all over the floor, do you?

I like but it just does flips all over too much unless I spin to the right that seems to help. Anyway new robot

it goes fast has 8 wheels and is another HW last one for now

They're both equally awesome. I have never had a cat but I don't see why some people don't like them. Cats are never hostile with me, like some people claim they are with them.
It's because most cats play with their prey.
Why would it be that? I doubt that the majority of cats would look at a human and think 'prey'. I've never had a cat but a few members of my family have had cats and they cuddle up to me every time I see them, even the first time I saw them.

Cats are the best, and dogs are merely great. The bulk of dog owners, on the other hand, should have their face shoved in the dog poo that they leave in the middle of the pavement
I hate this, I can't believe that people are too lazy to clean up their s***, literally

I would switch to 2WD and maces. There aren't that many weapons on it right now.

Complex spinners are difficult, so it's nice to see someone build one.
** Latest reply ever **
thanks, although I don't play stock that much I will try to

Anyway, did I do gud


Plastic armour, thoughts?
