Okay.
How about Signups and Videos being timed separately.
Signups for both classes get a 3 Month limit - if this expires without moving forward, the tournament is cancelled and a 1 month ban is incurred, but there is no host score penalty.
Videos have a separate timing, Minor League gets 2 months for videos and Major League gets 4, which is extendable in certain circumstances (eg massive, like BattleBots). Ban for these lapsing will be the same as before, 3 months and a host point.

I don't think the host should be banned if they don't get enough entries to move the tournament forward, personally.

General Support / Re: How to skin domes?
« on: June 08, 2014, 12:38:29 PM »
HELLO (bear with me, I've never skinned any of these before)
Right, so the GMF uses hex codes for component colours. Here is the chart that I use.

When you decompile Dome1.gmf in the Domes folder using a GMF decompiler, I usually use Serge's, you should be left with a notepad file that can be opened. Near the top you should find:

As far as I can tell, changing the bitmap doesn't do anything (not sure if it's a placeholder or something? I know it's the bitmap used for the shinywheel..). The first block in the code above controls the colour of the rivets, and the second block controls the actual colour of the disc. The same is probably true for the other GMF's.

You can change the transparency, shine etc of the component by changing the number after where it says *MATERIAL_TRANSPARENCY, or the appropriate one for the thing that you would like to change. The hex codes after *MATERIAL_AMBIENT, *MATERIAL_DIFFUSE and *MATERIAL_SPECULAR control the colours of the component. I believe the Beetlebros have a tutorial on their website about the specifics of what each one does.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

Why is reducing the time limit a bad thing? It should mean that more tournaments are completed, and they should be completed faster so that interest is kept. If people can't complete a tourney in the suggested 4 months, then they shouldn't be hosting one imo.

You might wanna flip the wedges 180 degrees so that they're wider. Do the maces not make it bounce?

Already given my advice on skype :P
Yeah I'd flip the RADs, and the wedges probably suck because everything, including the weapon motors, are on them
