Modifications / Re: Robot Wars RA2 - OFFICIAL MOD

Is there a download link for that new Sumo Ring? Or is it not for release?

I presume he is referring to J-LGames's video:


In the comments, it looks like if you send him an email asking for the arena he'll give it to you.

I don't think the guy who made it is a member of the RWRA2 team, and the RWRA2 team is not developing the mod any further anyways.

I'm not a wikipedian by any stretch, but it's reasonable to have a "serious" page and a "fun" page for the same topic.
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/2016_U.S._Presidential_Election
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Fun:2016_U.S._Presidential_Election

Agreed. That's what i'm doing with 09 (and hopefully all user) pages

However, the pages I have listed prior are the most important.
Does having two separate pages for each and every article not clog up the wiki and make it even more confusing for these supposed new users who want to learn from it?

Not every topic needs separate pages. There aren't even that many articles that could have multiple versions outside of user articles.
Indeed. The user articles are the one that are the most meme-filled, and also can be non-neutral in some cases, such as the articles partaining to controversial/unliked users. Having a seperate version where it's more... opinionated might be useful. For example, instead of edit-warring over my page, one version thats more neutral gets the main page status, but with a link to a second opinion article.

But again, let's not focus on this. We've other things to do.

If anyone makes any edits, post them here so we know who's contributing.

If you're not sure what to do, just click random page and see if it's missing images, or refer back to my list.

As much as professional version is cleaner. Meme one is better!

I think cleanliness and professionalism is important. GTM isn't wholy memes, it's not meant to be pure memes and cancer. That's only in the discord and in off-topic discussion.

But the thing is, if you link from clean to meme, everyone gets what they want: Those looking for a professional neutral article get what they need, and everyone else gets their dose of memes via a simple click.

I think I'll add a little more detail to 09's Pro Page (as i am calling them from now on, unless a better name arises) in a bit, but only after i do Team Dark's page.

Also, if you're not sure where to start, go through the tournament champions page, and any robot that has a red link and hence has no page can be updated with a fresh new page. If you're a new user (IceCreamRules) you may receive some inspiration for some robots of your own!

Avalanche DESTORYING GTM meme in ra2wiki confirmed,

Find out in jojoGTM

Wen, it's spelled DESTROYING.

Edit: sorry wen didn't mean to be an asshole about it

I think it's a good thing to seperate meme and wiki, but i'm leaving a compromise for you guys because cutting all memes out isn't really GTM.

where is my stand?

Stand memes shouldn't be on pages. Let's keep the user pages professional and not filled with memes. It's not a important thing to update but if anyone has the time try to de-meme user pages if you get the chance.

GTM is all about memes.  Memes absolutely should be on user pages.

I disagree. RA2Wiki should be a fairly neutral, professional wiki. However, if you want memes, that's fine, because i've an idea. Let's take the meme, current version of user pages, then copy and paste that into the RA2Wiki user page/ talk page.

Take a look at this for example:

New, more professional version of 090901's page: https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=090901
Old, more memes, less professional but more fun version: https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=RA2Wiki:090901

It's the best of both worlds. Serious page first, and you can access a less serious and more fun version if you so choose.

It's a win win: GTM gets to present itself as serious from the first view of the page, so it doesn't drive away those who don't like memes/cancer (Baconus_Yum), and then it allows memes on a second page to allow more fun for those who enjoy memes/cancer.

Sure. Do you mind seeing if you can help with the BOTM winners page?

Then kiddies! Edit my wiki!
Nah. As much as there have been edit wars over those lately (which I will low-key continue, memes should be kept seperate from the wiki imo), we don't really need to update user pages. The list i've made is a good list of things we need to update.

I'm going to work on the Lumazone page. Should be easy enough.

no

Thanks for actively choosing to not contribute.

main thing the wiki needs is a better front page so people can actually find stuff on it

Good point.

What you have put forward is very large,clearly obvious task for all member. If everyone can get to together, then the Wiki will no longer be a deserted junkyard which anyone can just decide to trash up/ leave it to rot and already, nobody never uses it like a dead website. It may be difficult  because not every users will contribute to help (If you're one of these users, may you be left behind on the ground.), but if everyone does make a contribution to clearing the wiki  up, we'll end up getting somewhere at least.
I may be stating the plain obvious but seriously, just help out!

For me, I would like to help out for the sole reason for putting back a purpose in the Wiki. If no one really uses the Wiki, then the Wiki button should no long be in the hot bar and be replaced with something like the Bot Exchange which should deserve its place. But putting back life will keep the Wiki's true purpose and will be no longer  be considered  obsolete as YTMND and will deserve its place in the hot-bar where it needs to be.
But still, how to get everyone to help out for once?   

Not everyone's going to help. But the ones who don't? **** 'em. We'll do what we can without them, and if the plan falls through, it's because people refused to help.

Time to restore this sh**.

A rough list of stuff that needs updating:

The main page is totally ****ing useless.
All articles that refer to DSL balance probably need updating, because IIRC they all will partain to DSL 2.2.
Retooled hasn't got a page.
The Lumazone hasn't a page.
The tournament champions article needs updating.
BOTM winners needs updating.

There's probably more but I haven't the time to do a full, proper list as I should be doing revision right now.

Let's get our sh** together and improve the wiki, because people should be able to use it instead of asking questions her or in the discord, and in the state it is in it's not capable of doing that.

Also making it more professional by re-assigning the Wiki Mod task and maybe reinstating/replacing the Fear and Respect rating system would be a big help but that relies on Trovaner getting involved.

Let's make the Wiki relevant again, instead of bemoaning the fact it isn't relevant.

Also, if you think something isn't detailed well on the wiki or hasn't got a page that is important, say so.

Just chipping in a little bit is appreciated.

I don't like the way the chassis goes above the wedges and panels. I do see it'll be difficult to work around however but if you could find a solution that would be good.

That's what you get for attempting to trick Badger into using a dangerous .py that's basically a virus. You shouldn't just be banned from his tournaments, you should have been permabanned from GTM for sending it.

> that skirt wedge

(Image removed from quote.)

Looks solid apart from that. Maybe try and made the wedge and main body more connected, kinda looks like 2 bots glued together atm

my planned entry for the next Redditbots (Hence the disgusting skirt wedge. If I ever enter it into something on GTM the skirt wedge will be gone.)
