Has there been any more developments with this Ai pack
I imagine if there was, they'd have been posted. Bumping the thread will hardly ever end well, so I'd just wait.

He doesn't have to - it's his tournament and he sets the rules.

I must admit I did slightly doubt myself when I wrote that, seemingly for good reason, but I have no doubt that Badnik won't finish this, so everyone just needs to chill :)
Often the pressure put on by other people can make spending a lot of time on it even less appealing.

Just check you've covered everything in the How To Host A Tournament guide, and you may wish to clarify 'realistic' building :P

All I'm going to say is please just calm it down, Badnik has never failed to complete a tournament, and he has run enough to be given the privileges that come with being a Major League host. Also Badnik I had to remove a swear from one of your posts. Please don't do it again

Usually they only allow it for new members who haven't had much input etc yet, but that was under the ACAMS reign.

There have been a few cases of people being allowed name changes - your best bet really is to ask Trov nicely :)

(Image removed from quote.)
So I was messing around with tournament concepts in my head, and then I remembered there was a TV show with a similar premise, so I took the title.
RULES
Game - DSL 2.1
Weight - Middleweight
Realistic Rule - IRL Realistic
TWO ROBOTS per entrant is required.
16 entrants, so 32 robots. (See battle rules.)
If you can't AI, I will AI for you, just don't get whingey if your robot doesn't win.
You can't enter until I have received and accepted your robot.
BUILDING RULES
Middleweight class robots only. 249.0kg - 399.0kg
Only in game glitches are allowed - eFFe Glitching, Axle Loading and Snapper Loading.
No external editing at all - BFE, AAM and so on.
Must have at least 2 wheels for controlled movement.
Tracked robots are eligible, the weight cushion is - The actual treads only count for half their real weight.
No scuttlers, crawlers or walkers.
Multibots are banned for obvious reasons.
No unrealistic weapon sizes and quantities.
You can upgrade your robot or send a new one as often as you like until signups end.
Judge Bursts and MOE motors are the only non-wheel Cheatbot2 components allowed. All wheels allowed.
One Judge Burst per bot.
BATTLE RULES
3 minute fights.
Official Robot Arena 2 Tournament arena, I might reskin it again.
Hazards on.
If a robot havoks then I will restart the match. I will keep restarting until there is a havok-free match. Fights with havoks will not be shown.
Arena
Round One - 32 robots from 16 entrants are put into completely randomised teams. Two teams will be pitted against each other and the two robots from the winning team move on to Round Two. There will be 8 battles with 4 robots in each.
Round Two - 16 robots are now left and are taken away from their first round partner and given another randomised one. The 8 new teams will compete in 4 battles, the winning team go through.
Round Three - 8 robots left and teams are randomised again. 2 battles with 2 teams, winning 2 teams advance.
Grand Final - Only 4 robots are left now, teams are randomised again and the winning team are declared overall champions.
Judging will be done by me.
Each team will be given a mark out of 10 for Style, Control, Damage, Aggression, and Teamwork, so a maximum of 50 points in total for each team.
ENTRANTS
1. - Kurt Wylde
2. -
3. -

10. -
11. -

15. -
16. -
Both robots accepted and AI'd.
One robot accepted and AI'd.
One or both of your robots are accepted.
You need to change your robot.
MY ENTRY AND CONCEPT SPLASH
And so, to signups it goes. The rules stated above may not change. You have 3 months. Good luck :)

Guys... I lied... I just wanted to create some sort of buzz in this thread again for the Lolz while I worked on this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/3181725481/Robot%20Wars%20(Beta).rar
(I had to use RapidShare as the GTM Host wouldnt work for some reason)
You'll need to install the files into a clean DSL 3.0 Beta game
Oh, and have some bots to play with while you're at it:

Enjoy while I finish this off (slowly) :')
-Wham
This is the most recent beta Wham has uploaded, you just need to install it over a copy of the DSL3 beta :)

Hey, for my next fight can I be switched to pusher.py?
Really as you didn't AI it yourself you shouldn't ask for it to be changed or complain about it.

The teeth look cool. It'd probably look dull without them.

You guys in here must have the most fickle 'favourites' of anything I've ever seen. :P

Yeah, get rid of that wedge, change the wheels, and I'd personally swap those skirts for DSL bars.

Entries look interesting - my hopes are high :)
I must say though, on the topic of IRL bots, that it's a shame because people would enter Standard bots, but didn't get given the chance. Think about that, guys that entered an IRL bot - you know full well you won't win, you just took someone else's spot when we hardly get any Standard tournaments now.
Thank you DeineMutter for running this, I can't wait to see the outcome - just don't take any of this controversy to heart :)
