Well, Alright, but I don't have it, do you know where I can get it?

Oh! It works now, thanks!
One last thing, though, I'm starting to have another problem now, I read in an AI type chart I got from this site about a type of AI called "OmniSpin", but I had no .py of that either, so I assumed it was one of those types that didn't need it's own .py file, but it wasn't, I assigned an AI to that type, and the game crashed when I tried to use it, how do I get it working? Do I actually need an "OmniSpin" py to use it?

Change VertSpinner to DirectionalSpinner.
I don't have a DirectionalSpinner py, so that wouldn't work... Unless you knew where I could get it? It might not just be your bindings. can to screenshot your controllers?
You mean all of the individual controls, or just the controller itself? Well, I have posted the latter here:

I'm trying to make an AI of a vertical spinner robot I created, but when I add it, and use it in a battle, none of the robots move, and then a few seconds later, I get an error message, or at least the sound for it plays, but I never actually see the message. It doesn't do this with any other AI, but when I try to start a battle with the Vert Spinner, then I have the problem... What's wrong with it and what do I do to get it working? If it helps, here's the binding for the robot: list.append( ("Bladehead Cybertron", "VertSpinner", { 'invertible':True, 'radius':1.2, 'nose' : math.pi*2, 'turnspeed' : 1.0, 'throttle' : 110, 'weapons': (14, 18) }) )

Ah, that was the problem! One of the lines had 4 spaces at the start, and the other had a big space you get when you press tab. I had no idea something like that would've been the problem! Well, it's working now, thanks for your help!

The first two questions tell me that you have a syntax error in one of the python files found in the AI folder. The third question tells me that the error is one of the changes made inside of Bindings.py.
With that in mind, I looked up at the bindings that you posted and immediately saw the mistake (I didn't see them the first time I scanned this thread). In python, tuples need a comma after the first item so that they are interpreted as more than one item. As such, your bindings should look like this:
list.append( ("Cobra!'s Robot", "Omni", { 'radius':1.2, 'nose' : math.pi, 'turnspeed' : 1.0, 'topspeed' : 12.0, 'throttle' : 110, 'weapons': (1,) }) )
list.append( ("Tank", "PusherPlus", { 'radius':1.2, 'nose' : math.pi, 'turnspeed' : 1.0, 'topspeed' : 12.0, 'throttle' : 110, 'weapons': (1,) }) )
It still doesn't work, I'm afraid. I even copied and pasted the code to make sure I got it right, and it still crashed.

It's crashing on start up.
What kind of dialog is Windows giving you when it crashes? ("stopped responding," "stopped working," "runtime error," etc.)
A dialog comes up saying it's stopped working. When does it crash? (first loading screen, second loading screen, or third loading screen)
First loading screen. When I try to add both robots, the game crashes, so I take out one, it still crashes, so I replace the remaining robot with the robot I took out, and then it works. Which robot is which depends on which one I take out first, it's really strange.
What exactly are you doing? Hitting the undo button or manually changing things back?
I think I was hitting the undo button every time. Should I be doing it manually?

WhamettNuht did. I provided a link to the mod in the first post. (I hyperlink-ed "Robot Wars AI Pack".)

I remade Cobra!'s robot, and made an AI of that, it kind of works, the robot itself isn't the problem now. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, this is happening with both of my robots.

I tried grabbing the backup I had of the stock RA2, made another copy of RA2, and added the DSL and Robot Wars packs, but I'm getting the same problem with that.

Huh. I don't know then. Are there 2 team 15s or something?
Can we see the whole teams.txt? It might be that you pasted the new team just slightly wrong or something like that.

If you have only added 2 robots, then I think you should change the line here:
Robots: 0 1 2 3 4 5to this:
Robots: 0 1.
At least, I think that's right. Try it out and see if it works.
Okay, I've done that, and it still crashed...

I'm trying to add some AI to the game, I recently installed a Robot Wars AI Pack to the game, and I ended up loving the AI in that so much, that I wanted to add my own teams to the game, and pit my AI robots against the pack's. I've been editing Bindings files, and replacing robot names for quite a while now, but I had no idea how to add a new team, if you could at all, so I asked around and I was told that to add a new team, I have to edit the teams.txt file, and add a new team in that, so that's what I did. I created a new team folder, and added 2 bots to it (I got all the naming right). I went to test it, and the team was added, but as expected, the game crashed when I try to select any of the robots in that team. So I then added the 2 robots I added into the Bindings. So I went to test it, and it crashed at startup, and no matter what I do, I can't stop it from crashing, I made absolute sure that nothing was wrong with my bindings or my added team in the txt file, and couldn't find anything wrong, so I don't know what's going on. Here's what I'm trying to add to my teams.txt: index 15
Test Team

0 Here's what I'm trying to add to my bindings (Yes, I copied and pasted the line for both of them): list.append( ("Cobra!'s Robot", "Omni", { 'radius':1.2, 'nose' : math.pi, 'turnspeed' : 1.0, 'topspeed' : 12.0, 'throttle' : 110, 'weapons': (1) }) )
list.append( ("Tank", "PusherPlus", { 'radius':1.2, 'nose' : math.pi, 'turnspeed' : 1.0, 'topspeed' : 12.0, 'throttle' : 110, 'weapons': (1) }) ) What am I doing wrong?

Well, when I installed DSL, the bindings.py file had all of the robots in order from the first bot in the first team, to the last in the last team, and there were spaces between each team, so it was easy to understand, it also commented on which teams were which. When I installed this pack, however, all the robots in the list all seemed to be mixed up and don't seem to be in any order so it's confusing.
Also, I'm not sure if I should be asking this here, but is it possible I add new AI teams? It must be, because from all the mods I've installed in the past, I have ended up with over 100 team folders (Seriously, the folders I have go up to team105!), but this pack is only using the 15 it came with, which makes sense. I love all of the AI bots it came with, but I would love to watch my own AI fight them.
For the first part - they're alphabetical :P
It's the same as Stock RA2 - just replace the one you want as you would DSL. Order doesn't matter.
And yes, it is possible. I'm pretty sure that's in a tutorial somewhere, but I'll jot it here.
Basically, you need to add another team to the Teams.txt file, using the same layout as the others - just copy paste a full Team entry in this file to the end, change the index number, team name and description, and make sure the Robots: 0 1 2 line has the appropriate number - eg if the team has 1 robot only (just Bot0 in the new Team folder you will have to make) the line will be Robots: 0 while if it was 2 the line would be Robots: 0 1. Then just add your bindings to the bindings.py file, it doesn't matter where in particular and put the appropriately named bots into your new folder (eg for this mod your first new team will be index 15, so a Team15 folder with Bot0 etc in). PM me if you've got any more issues :)
Oh right, that's cleared that up, thanks! I'll PM you if I have any problems. Actually, another issue I'm having with this mod, is that some of my robots have had their controls mirrored, like down would be for going forward and left and right are switched around, and even if the controls aren't doing that, they eventually do in a random right, and this has only started happening when I installed the mod. I was playing a tournament in RA2 (one the ones you go to by going to robot workshop) recently with a robot to pass the time, and it's controls were normal. Then suddenly, when I entered a tabletop tournament, the controls got reversed, I never edited the robot in any way between that fight and the one before it, what is causing that?

The only problem I have is that it seems to be a lot harder to add my own AI bots, I hope that gets fixed in a later version.
There's nothing to fix - it's just like any other version of RA2 :) What's the issue you've got?
Well, when I installed DSL, the bindings.py file had all of the robots in order from the first bot in the first team, to the last in the last team, and there were spaces between each team, so it was easy to understand, it also commented on which teams were which.

Thanks for the download links! I'm loving the arena! The AI robots are nicely done as well, especially the older robots like Roadblock and Killertron!
The only problem I have is that it seems to be a lot harder to add my own AI bots, I hope that gets fixed in a later version.

I know this thread hasn't had a post for a few months, but I wanted to post this.
This mod is awesome, it's exactly the kind of camera I've been wanting for the game!
Not only that, but it's actually fixed a framerate problem I've been having with the game! Before, the game only seemed to run 30 fps on my PC, despite it way surpassing the recommended requirements. However, for some reason, when I switch to the action cam, it goes up to 60, it looks so much smoother! I'm not sure if this was intentional, but either way, thanks so much!
The only problem I have I have with the mod is that there's only one angle, is there any possibility for other camera angles and the ability to switch between them in the future?

If you can't get it working, install Notepad ++, open the bot file in it, find the first listed component txt file and count from 0 until you find the weapons. It's what I do.
That's good enough for now, it works. I'll do this until I can resolve the exporter problem, if I do. So thanks!

« on: October 21, 2012, 08:56:55 AM »
I've started using the apanx Bot Exporter to show me which component is which, for the weapons part of the binding py. Well, why else would you use it?
Anyway, it's been working fine for a while, then suddenly, I get an error now when I open it, saying "Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of it's dependencies not currently registered: a file missing or invalid".
I've looked it up on Google, and surprisingly, this problem seems common (as opposed to any other problem I've ever looked up on Google), however, none of the solutions I found worked.
Has anyone else had this problem and have a solution? If not, is there any other way to telling a robots component numbers?

« on: October 21, 2012, 08:44:11 AM »
It involves setting a tactic in the binding line.
How do I do that?
