I was trying to make it like BrasOuvert, but it didn't work out. you flatter me, but BrasOuvert is not a good bot.

Okay than, here is a bot that got replaced as my Elbite bot.
Your bot seems over-powered. Moreover, why such a complicated attachement of the extenders in the front ? finaly, why do you left this bot ? why do you feel it was not good ? About he AI for the offensive bots , did you want it to work like a pusher or like a whipper ?

Wouldn't you transform this thread in one where everybody could post their bots?.
No problem, as long as it is a junkyard : i think this is kind of fun to discover the real opponents the day the tournament open.

To Gigafrost :
It appears that many people did not AIed their bots.
When the "same" bot have to play in king of the hill (where speed to be the first 'on' is important') and tabletop (where a too excessive speed will let you down), it may be useful not to have the same AI.
Typically, in tabletop : Radius parameter must be high and topspeed must be low, in king of the hill, speed must be high, and turn low.
Will you AIed separately the bots ?

In the purpose of the Elbite tournament, i've build 4 bots and i try to select 'the best one'. As long as i reject one, i will post it here. this means i didn't succes in making this bot a good challenger. Perhaps one of you will take the idea and improve it. So this is my first junky bot : Vertical spinner with low profile and a piston. The idea was, for king of the hill or tabletop, to invite foes up its top then eject them or rip them. Good idea, bad realisation : not effective against poker in tabletop, this bot gives a good fight on king of the hill but it wide structure made it an easy target on the chaos of the hill.  so i say goodbye to this one.

Which strategy do you follow to build your bot ? At first, i'v tried to build a good tabletop Bot, then, adapt and test it on the king of the hill. It appears that there's a good part of luck in winning a table top. For now, i try first to build a good 'King of the hill bot' then i will see how to adapt if for tabletop. There's also the technic to have a very powerfull and specialized bot for a kind of match and then try voodoo magic to influence the chance when it will be selected... not tested that yet. the tabletop is a 1 on 1 match. I've not noticed that ! it changes a lot !

I'm glad that i'v won the first match for now GBBS will fight Epic Failure. i feel particulary honoured to meet this incredible bot. Will it come from the same strange Bolchoï as it little BBean brother ? If there's a Torro who should like it's Torero, than it's GBBS. Hope GBBS gives a good fight.

Hello and before all, thank you for this innovative challenge.
For the King of the hill match, will it be 'Hilltop' or 'LumaZone' arena ?

It works, but im not sure if i should ai again Most of the time when, after AIing, the game crashed, it's because of a bad file 'bindings.y'. Most common errors : -the kind of bot is not correct ( 'Spinner' not 'spiner' or 'spinner' : beware of case) -if you use the word intertible, the 'True' which follows must start with 'T', n ot 't' -bad indentation :To verify this, use a free editor like notepad++ wich understand python grammar and tells you about bad indentation, forgotten parenthesis, and so on. If you want, send me by private message (if not to big) you file bindings.py, i will have a look during the weekend. If the games crashed when you start event or exhibition (but start well otherwise), this is because of a misspelled name of bot or a bot you forgot to AIed.

Are you saying that you want to randomly select 15 Teams from all 90 to make available for 'Events'? I like the thought and can see how the coding would/should be, but would it not also cause some collateral damage by randomly changing the Teams order in 'Exhibition'?... Yes, this is the idea : randomly select 15 Teams from all 90 to make available for 'Events'. I've done it in a Python script but the condition for such a thing is that each directory teamXXX contains the part of team.txt and the part of bindings.py relative to it. I than re-create team.txt and bindings.py with those parts. So, the final team.txt and bindings.py is coherent, just as if i ve put a AI pack with 16 teams. under exhibition i see only 16 teams with their initial logo and so. Anyway That's a strong constraint ! First because it's a python compiled script and, as a .exe, it cannot be shared under the download part of this site, second because of the need to create those parts of team.txt and bindings.py. so i think about an other way to do it with less constraint and in dos command (.bat). What is fine with such a principe is that you 16 teams came from differrent AI pack that normally never confront together. You may also mix your own AI with standard ones.

I do not understand a word of this thread... when you play events, you fight Ai Bots. They are selected from the ones under you directory RA2/AI/Teamxxx with xxx a number between 0 and 15. Moreover, only the first 3 bots of each teams are candidate in EVENT and that, even if your team contains 6 bots. the candidate are named Bot0.bot, Bot1.bot and Bot2.bot in your RA2/AI/Teamxxx. The script given in the first post allows to fight in EVENT the 3 last bots of each team by shifting the first 3 bots with the 3 last ones. An other problem is to fight EVENT with not only the first initial 16 teams given in a AI pack but with the teams with range above 16. The 2 problems with this point are -tells RA2 which AI goes with which bots : this is defined in a file name bindings.py under your RA2/AI directory : 2 solution : you recreate this file once you have selected the teams you want to fight OR you have a file which contains all the description of all the AIed bots. -describe RA2 which are the teams names team0...team15 (logo, number of bots for each team, etc) : This is done in a file named team.txt under RA2/AI directory. If you can change the content of a teamXXX and describe it in the file team.txt -> you have a new candidate for you EVENT. All the job is to have a mechanism to change (randomly or not) the content of the files RA2/AI/teamXXX and re create the file team.txt associated. If you know how to do that, with all the AI shared under the download part of this site and the one you can create, you have a RA2 program and the tools which allows you to play with hundreds bots and not only 16 (teams) * 3 (bots) = 48 bots. That's a great deal ! Madiaba says ... With such a configuration (unique Bindings.py) a script which select randomly 16 teams from your 90 should not be to hard to do if you don't care about the real name and the logo of the team (always use the same). However, this is one of the charm of RA2 to have a look of the various logo. If each team contains in its own directory (RA2/AI/teamXXX) a bitmap with the name of the team (ie "riot.bmp") it should be possible to generate dynamically the file team.txt according to the ones selected randomly. I will try to work on it but I don't expect a result before a month or two because my weekend are mostly full.

Its AI has 90 Teams that are shifted in sets of 15 (for Events availability).[/COLOR] Madiaba, when you shift your team, - does your scrip re-create the files bindings.py and team.txt according to the selected teams - or do you have a bindings.py and a team.txt for each pack of 16 teams - or even a Huge 'binding.py' and you always stay with the same 'team.txt' ? woah its been a while since you last posted phil. welcome back Thanks. Well i've bin in BBeans 4 with BO but yet i'm out. I'v also send a pack of 16 AI teams to share for DSL2.1 at ACAMS but no feed back yet. As time goes on, theses teams tend to be completed (all of them have not 6 bots ). I will submit them again in few weeks.

You may have notice when you play EVENT that only the first 3 bots of each teams are candidate.
Below is a DOS shell that allows to shift between the 3 first bots and the 3 last ones (bot0 becomes Bot3, Bot3 becomes bot 0 and so on).
Restriction :
-this SHELL only works with the 16 first teams under the AI directory
-this shell does not verify that the shifted bots are in good order : LW, MW,HW
-this shell verifies that the team contains 6 bots (otherwise do nothing)
-before the first usage, make an archive (zip/tar) of your AI directory
Extension :
as notice in the comments of the Sheck, you can decide to shift only some (randomly) and not all of the 16 teams . just add the keyword 'REM' in front of the specific line
Usage : copy the source in a text file name "ShiftTeams.bat" under your AI directory. That's all.
Hope some of you enjoy this tool.
Here is the source :
REM ===================================================
REM For Random team in team0 .. team15
REM bots 3,4 and 5 become bots 0 1 and 2
REM bots 0 1 and 2 become bots 3 4 and 5
REM Allow to fight bots that are normally not reachable in EVENT
REM =======================================================
echo off
setlocal
set variable=0
: Boucle
rem == move to team XXX
set Nom1=Team%variable%
cd %Nom1%
rem switch only if exists bot0..Bot5
if not exist Bot0.bot goto FinTraitement
if not exist Bot1.bot goto FinTraitement
if not exist Bot2.bot goto FinTraitement
if not exist Bot3.bot goto FinTraitement
if not exist Bot4.bot goto FinTraitement
if not exist Bot5.bot goto FinTraitement
set /a goOn=%RANDOM%
set /a goOn=%goOn%%%2
rem ======================================
rem if you want to randomly select the teams to shift
rem replace the line below "set /a goOn=0" by "rem set /a goOn=0"
set /a goOn=0
rem ====================================================
if /i %goOn% equ 1 goto FinTraitement
rem ===== Switch this on
echo team%variable%
rem == Save 1st set

Nevermind, I see what I did.
When I edited the teams file I copied team ra2, which only has slots for 5 robots, not 6.
Thanks for the quick responses though guys. The number of bot of each AIed team is describe in the file 'AI/teams.txt line : Robot ... there is a team with 3 bots : index 1 Team XXX xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AI/xxxxxxxxxxx.bmp Robots: 0 1 2 Robot In Event: -1 ... and there a team with 6 bots : index 1 Team XXX xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AI/xxxxxxxxxxx.bmp Robots: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Robot In Event: -1 ... Bye the way, madiaba, you say you had 90 teams, but in events, do the program select from all thoses,it seems that it only select from the 16 first ones ?

Because of it's heavy weight on the front, Bras Ouvert must have big wheels otherwise they do not reach the floor ! moreover, it's important that it must be invertible because of its weakness against vertical attack (flipper, VS). Boring matches : That's right, apologies. But as i said previously, BO is a concept of 'defensive bot', relaying mostly on the agressivity of its foe.

« on: September 02, 2008, 03:44:21 AM »
brasOu seems like a good bot, whether its method of winning was intended or not, i'd love to see it face something with a flipper though.
As explained in https://gametechmods.com/forums/showpost.php?p=13152&postcount=64it's method of winning was intended, and it's vulnerability is effectively flippers and VS. By the way, i'd like to talk about a fabulous meeting i can't stop watching : When Hammer sandwich meets system failure each try to give the other its cure Like chaos emerging from  this match looks like L.S.D. infused D.S.L. love theses bots.

Back from holidays, i've seen that Bras Ouvert (which mean 'Open arms') has won the first round.
Well, smoker is a very aggressive, fast bot with light structure (much like a cheetah). On the other side, Bras Ouvert is a slow over-armed bot but only in a defensive concept (much like a porcupine). Time plays for it : when i've tested it, it always wins (when it wins) by cutting its opponent weapons than slowly affecting the core. In this context, Smoker was an ideal opponent for Bras Ouvert.
Against No Name #12 it will be harder. NN#12 has a good balance between protection and attack power. My hope for Bras Ouvert is that NN#12 often land between the wide opened hammer of BO, and thus slowly lost its weapon... this is not done yet! so I really can't predict the result.
BO is also quite inffective against VS or any vertical attack but very good against HS.
About its wide wheels : they are made to protect the motors and allow the bot to be invertible . the weapon attached to the wheels are here to give a light protection to the wheels (make them less reachable).

My "Rookie" opinion :
Best design : #14 Rage III (so cute) and #22 Red Tide VI (compact, well armed and a genious up bracket)
Most Original : #5 System failure (warning : the prolonged contemplation of this bot may be brain damaged !)
Most feared :
1/#6 T-4 (because of the low barrier around the arena),
2 et 2 bis / #4 Haymaker and Thumber which both look very resistant and heavily
gunned.
3/ #22 Red Tide VI may be killer if it is quick to get near its foe and reach the core of it's ennemy, with a too slow drive motor it may be eject before biting.
By the way : Will it be possible, later, to create an archive of all this bots (and their own AI) and to deposit it in the download area ?

Thank's for all your points of view. I'm not the programming guru you expected to say, just have the minimum knowledge to try something. I'll be very pleased to have some draw back about the package PhF100Opponents (see the thread and the download link under https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=749&page=2). Indeed it works fine on my computer but does it work for others ? did i forget something in the package ? does any one have tried it and found it useful ? does any one have expanded the meccanism with other teams ? and so on...
