One can't help but wonder what is in the folder named "STD".
Oh, wow! I actually never thought of that! But not to worry, the folder is part of WWII aircraft simulation game containing just text and .ini files. I took a picture of that desktop when I had it completely filled with files. This my current desktop, after recently having to format my PC.  I'm getting there, though

Lol this is like watching someone play QWOP
Definitely  dude you need to build gigaheavyweight's with me.
I build what comes to my mind, m8. I cannot have a goal in weight or anything or it will confuse me. If I want a bot that does something in particular, I will (in general) increase the weight limit until the bot does what i want him to do. There were some UHW I made in past that were only 3000ish kg and i couldn't reach the 4999.9kg limit because I simply didn't know how or where to add stuff and sometimes if I did, it would ruin the bots' performance. Devourer 2 just happened to reach the limit successfully. If I manage to make a GHW it will be by chance depending of what I think of.

I finally did it!! God damn it! About time! Directly copied from the videos description: "Please Read: *TURN VOLUME DOWN (forgot to adjust the sound volume so it's loud)* You might notice through out the entire video that some parts seem to have been cut and edited in between the bot movements. I did this because about 60% of the full original video had no motion because I'm actually thinking of what controls I have to press next. Yes, the controls are really that hard. There are a total of 16 control keys and 8 of them are only used to adjust individual legs in case they get way out of place (you will notice my adjustments in the video). 8 keys are needed to make one walking sequence and 4 to make one step. Then each 4 keys must be pressed in the correct order for the walking process to work. In other words that's why i had to cut some parts of the video and that's why you'll see a lot of mistakes" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM0SgJXKp2s&feature=youtu.be#

Hi people! I'm back to walkers for a short while. I've been trying to make fully working spider walkers and the main issue with those is how to make them withstand their own weight. Well unfortunately after a dozen of tries it is impossible to make a spider walker in this game unless you cheat, with hovercrafts... Unfortunately i could not find any other way to make them stand than this one.  This prototype was made some weeks ago and was forgotten. It was designed to withstand it's own weight, unfortunately it didn't happen so i had to add 2 hovercrafts. The controls are very confusing and operating it is incredibly hard. Note that it CAN walk very well! But it's damn hard to even do one walking sequence.   This one I made today and has simpler controls that the last one, although it is still very complex as you can see from the control table. Fortunately this design saves me from having to lower the legs each time I lift them, because they are heavy enough to fall on their own. This bot walks even better that the other. You can see from the picture that it walked some distance but to get there i spent almost one hour learning from the controls and i still can't make a full walking sequence. To show you that it is very hard to control these bots let me explain the complexity of the controls by explaining how to take the 1st walking step: >First we need to choose one pair of legs. Lets for example choose the ones selected in the picture (note that the front of the bot is facing you) >Then we press W to lift the legs out of the ground and then Q to move both legs forward a bit. >Now we will use those legs to push the bot forward. For that you need to press at the same time S (to force our used leg pair to the ground creating traction) and UpArrow, lifting the other pair of legs. Immediately after, still pressing the other keys, we need to press E to move the forward legs back and finally as soon as the bot starts reacting to this last control (usually takes a couple of seconds to react) we press the RightArrow to move the lifting legs forward. When this is done the cycle repeats with the opposite controls. Easy to explain but very hard to do. Move the 1st pair of legs forward too little and the bot will barely move. Move the 1st pair of legs forward too much and they will get stuck or take very long to react when you try to move them back. Combining the different controls into one key is out of the question because each movement needs to be spaced between them by seconds or less. It's very frustrating, because I know that the bot walks well but I can't master the controls.

This is very helpful and ironically I've had night terrors after playing worms and Mario 64. When I had a night terror once I ran into my backyard and leaped into my swimming pool and almost drowned, it was that bad.
Wow. I think i never ever got out from the house while having night terrors. Possibly my parents have avoided that kind of situation. From what i know i never have been in real life threatening situations during these episodes. The closest i was to something serious happening was physical injuries, (falling from stairs, bumping into whatever place possible, etc...) and mental or nervous breakdowns.

Unfortunately in my case I do remember almost all night terrors I've had even though my last night terror was when i was around 14 or 13 years old, that means 5 or 6 years ago. There's the normal night terror or, in my case, night terrors + sleepwalking, which I think GoldenFox93 has too.
Many of the night terrors i had, had no apparent reason to be scary. I just had them, cried, screamed and ran away around the house from everyone. Worse, I remember everything I've done and seen: running, screaming, parents trying to calm me, etc... I just couldn't control myself. I remember once trying really hard to control myself but i ended up suffering from a lot of anxiety (unable to swallow, painful click like swallowing) and burst screaming even louder.
Here are some examples of completely ridiculous and random night terrors i had:
>For people that know Mario 64 (I hope a lot, lol) I had a night terror just because of scene of seeing a Thwomp (those large blue boxes with a face) in the clock level. Even though it feels like really funny and ridiculous it was no fun to me.
>Night terror because of another game Worms Armageddon.
>Night terror after watching the 1st and original movie of Frankenstein. It didn't scary me at all when i watched it but i still had the night terror about it.
>Night terror about a Donald Duck comic where they were basically imitating the pokemons making the creatures come to life from the cards (Yes i actually remember all these details, even the specific creatures i was thinking about during the night terror. The creatures weren't even scary, they were all cute actually)
Now less ridiculous night terrors:
>All related to when i had a fever. It was very common for me to have night terrors with a fever. In this case i do remember clearly one case where i fell asleep in the living room while watching a cartoon and when my mother came with a wet towel to put on my forehead i jumped out of the sofa and began running away from my mother fearing that she would kill me.
Now the most serious cases of night terrors:
>Unfortunately these were one of the most common and they were the worst feelings i ever had in my entire life.
Imagine yourself in a state of super ultra high anguish and anxiety, even barely able to talk or scream you wake up suddenly fearing that in a few seconds the world will end, that you will die in a matter of seconds and you see each second pass by really slowly, you have some sort of hallucination where you actually see everything from tables, chairs, the bed, the walls, the ceiling actually compressing very very slowly and painfully towards you. Basically you see the entire world slowly crumbling into you until you are crushed by everything (like you were a black hole, attracting every type of matter to you) While this is happening you are walking aimlessly around the house in complete and outer terror but without shouting or screaming or anything. From what i remember none of my family members were ever awaken during these night terrors. After several minutes i calmed down and returned to bed like nothing ever happened.
Unfortunately to me, my last (Hopefully my last) night terror was this one.
That's a lot of very personal stuff i wrote but I know that it's very rare for people to remember night terrors. I'm one of the rare ones unfortunately and i hope this helps you get pass this situation in every way possible. I just hope this doesn't give your mind new ideas for night terrors though.

In a commercial airplane, a lawyer sits next to a blonde. After a while in the flight the lawyer has an idea. Believing that all blondes are dumb he decided to take profit of it and make a bet with her to pass time.
Lawyer: lets make a bet. When i ask you a question and you get it wrong you give me 10$, if you get it right i give you 100$. When you make me a question, if i get it right you give me 10$ and if i get it wrong I'll give you 100$. Deal?
Blonde:Deal!
Lawyer: Ok I start. What falls standing and "runs" lying down?
The blonde thinks for a while but quickly gives up, opens her purse and gives the man 10$.
The lawyer gives the answer: It's the rain.
Blonde: Ok my turn! What climbs a mountain with 4 legs and descends from the other side with 3?
The lawyer was shocked by this question. He thought and thought, picked up his laptop and tried to find the answer online. After nearly an hour of thinking and searching he finally gives up and angrily gives the woman 100$.
She takes the money and remains silent.
Lawyer:Well?!! What is the answer to your question anyway?!
Without saying a word the blonde opens her purse and gives the man 10$

A tip for getting the screenshots: Press the Pause Break button, it will pause the match and you can rotate your camera around to get a screen.
I had forgotten about that key, Thanks!

Here are some battleshots for the swallowing attempt as requested only with HWs   Very efficient weapon design against any type of vertical or horizontal extended weapon. In the second pic i was lucky in taking the shot before the opponent was thrown backwards.   These show my weapon upgrade for Devourer 2. Now packs a bigger punch and protects the square panels. Also it allows more room to swallow bots. In the 1st pic i was trying to break those hammers and then swallow the body but i destroyed it first. The 2nd pic was successful. The opponent was destroyed almost instantly when got inside. Please note that it's very hard to take a pic of a bot in between the discs because they spin 1 or 2 times inside and then are thrown out very quickly without giving me time to press print screen.

I want to see a LW inside that blender... =D
"Nom Nom Nom...bleurgh"
gf pls go
and im not too sure about the spike strips, surely you should put an additional amount of razor blades with higher DP and no normals?
Come on now, this bot is clearly not made for efficiency..... No UHW could possibly fit inside that thing. It's for looks and killing things roughly 4750kg less than it does. So spike strips is fine in this context.
That is correct. It's very hard to get any big bots in between the the discs or even impossible. It pretty much functions like 2 giant saw blades. But any weapon or some kind of extender coming out of the opponent can be successfully destroyed with this bot. If i wanted to fit bigger bots in it i would have to remove the spike trips and maybe add some beater bars instead.

My first bot reaching the desired weight for a UHW!      Decided to upgrade it with something more similar to a "mouth". It can open and close. Its performance isn't much different than the previous version but it is slightly more agile. The wedges are better than the 1st Devourer and this version has 2 pairs of vlad spikes powered by burst motors hidden below the wedges instead of the back striking ones. With this one, attacking from below is not a very reliable option anymore. The only downside compared to Devourer 1 is that it cannot upright itself at all if flipped. That's why it has those very long "arms" to stabilize it. >Improved armor >Agile >Very strong weaponry and fast killing power >Good wedges >Average speed >Not invertible >Stabilizer arms make the bot extra wide which in turn makes it vulnerable in corners.

Thanks everyone once again for comments  Here's my new bot   The bot doesn't seem very special but i didn't call it Deceiver for no reason     Deceiver is a popup bot that can be in battle or rest mode. It can conceal almost completely from the opponents all of its weapons and defenses. It all came out of the idea of making some kind of surprise bot, hiding all the arsenal inside of its chassis. It might be a waste of weight using pistons and CO2 tanks but i can add more things if i retract or extend the pistons, putting some components out of the way of other components like for example the wheels. The wheels by the way, were supposed to be hypno wheels and they fitted perfectly with armor. The bot was firstly thought as a HW but then it came out a SHW and so i needed to add more traction, ruining all the work i had to make the wheels fit into the armor, like if it was IRL (only the wheel part i mean, the rest is far far away from IRL). It's battle performance is exceptional! I would consider it as the evolution of "Impregnable Assassin" >Fast and very agile >Weapons! Weapons everywhere! >Tough armor >Fast on destroying the opponents >Outstanding wedginess! >Exposed wheels >Major down side is it is not invertible and there's no weapon or device that can upright it.

The trapping overkill blades are too small for this i think..... maybe you could have used 2 Heavy Plows for a much stronger trapper and a way to eat the last part of the weight.
The rule of 7 stands in the way again. But the blades do the job perfectly. First they aren't that heavy and Second being shorter makes it easy for the bot to turn and try to catch an opponent that escaped. If i used plows the opponent could easily stay behind them and I wouldn't have an angle of attack and less turning speed.

I really like that bot. If something of similar weight gets underneath it, will it take much punishment? If I was being hyper-critical the extension work looks vulnerable to my untrained eye. Great standard of building though. More please!
I already pointed out that in the description. If any bot that can strike vertically (ex: popup) succeeds in getting under my UHW, then it will almost certainly lose. I had a battle against a popup and i managed one time to get off from him but then he crawled bellow me again and took out all the wheels. Small popup bots actually have much more success in destroying me than other UHW bots.

if you use something small like piglets and put in on the 4 sides of the bigger disk inside then it shouldn't be much bigger
Tried applying your idea but the rule of seven strikes again  To allow the piglets i needed to remove the outer small discs because if I left them plus the piglets, they would make a total of 7 components without the beater bars: Anchor>Extender>Perm motor>250 disc>Large DSL disc 2>small DSL disc>Beater bar So i think it's better using my original design.

« on: October 12, 2012, 10:06:21 AM »
amazing, perhaps if you put the 4 smaller disks on the inside on motors it would be awesome :P
It was my first design idea but then again the opponent had no room to be in the drum.

Sorry for the misunderstanding  It's this one you mean right? Still my 1st statement remains. 7337H cannot fulfill my plan of "eating" and carrying the opponent inside the drum. Anyway, I needed to know the bot 1st to clone it, though. It's surprisingly similar too, I would think like you too. Sorry again for the misunderstanding
