Good to see more uploads for this
Not quite the clean sweep I was expecting from conundrum, it seems to have been unlucky with wedge wars on the 2nd time round Yup, its all finished now, didnt want to disappoint the 3 people following this! Yeah, not the results I was hoping for - That's why having 2 matches instead of a knockout style can be very different!

Thoughts on Round 4:
Yeah, I was quite surprised to see that as well, my bots throwing two OOTA that way.
Yeah I thought that was hilarious. You've got some good shunting force for sure. Vs Big Disc Club
another OOTA like expected
Again, a shame for Fracture, but the bot seems very unbalanced. Even when the dics has worked as intended, it doesn't take much of a push to send it into "spikeball" mode. Vs Big Time Hammer
expected a loss but looks like the wedges worked and Big Time Hammer was pushed up high enough that it wouldn't hit.
Also is it just me or was Big Time Hammer's Flame not working in all of the matches?
A surprise for me as well. I thought you wouldn't get under him and the hammer would have field day on your rather large and exposed top side. I hadn't noticed the flame not working before? He linked it to his forward drive control, so it seems to switch off if his bot is still/not pushing forwards (conserves CO2 maybe?). Vs Still Sucks
Wedge War and like I expected, I lost it. Gotta find out why the original Snowy had such good wedges(think the front wheels weren't touching the ground?)
Lol at the delayed end and Still Sucks using Snowy to clean up the entire arena.
Still sucks has done a lot of sweeping in this tournament so far haha, it's a really nice design, but you fought well. Vs Tidehunter
Same story, funny how the N12 wheel temporarily stopped the blade.
That's actually happened a couple of times. Even in testing against someone, a ram plate lodged itself between the spinners and it stopped for the entire match haha vs YouWishIWasAGirl
Thought it would be over after the wedges failed to work, loved the double flip and somewhat surprising victory.
A good game for sure. I thought 090901 would steam roll the competition as that flipper is so dam powerful, but it seems the wedges in this tourney are very good! Vs Conundrum V5
This bot was originally built to fight Conundrum v5(for a challenge, not this tournament) and while it's wedges worked right it won almost every match. Just me or was Conundrum v5 wobbling around at the start?
If the first wedge fight fails thats where it's usually over, my bot was able to recover a bit but it didn't work out.
It did look a bit shakey to me, not sure why? Maybe we can have a challenge after the tournament and settle this once and for all  but don't forget they will still play against each other in Round 7... Overall, not as good as it could've been with fully working wedges, but still a great performance.
I would be happy with that performance. Still plenty of matches to play and you beat some tough bots earning quite a few points so far.

Disappointed to have lost to conundrum, considering I tested tidehunter against it a lot to ensure it would win consistently...
All but 1 aint bad tho
Don't fret! They'll be playing again in conundrums matches. You could see you had the better wedge and when you took my wheel off I thought it was over, was a good match for sure!

I would say I seriously regret entering Hydrogen, but I'll wait until I get a matchup I can win to say that XD
Also, what was with the spinning? What AI is it using?
There's still time! Plenty of matches left!
Here's the AI I used:
list.append(("Hydrogen","Rammer",{'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'radius':0.1, 'turnspeed': 2, 'turn': 60, 'range':99, 'weapons':(0,) }))
The spinning might be due to the wheels not being central or not being perfectly aligned. Or maybe thr throttle is too high... but I would have thought higher would be better for a rammer that's very front weapon heavy like yours. I've had the same problem with some of my rammers if they're packing too much power...
Could you turn the turnspeed down please? It seems to be oversteering. Thanks!
Try Turn 40, and maybe turn the turnspeed down to 1.4 or 1.3 too.
I have amended turn and turn speed from Round 5 onwards, wonder what effect that will have...! Speaking of which, Round 5 is up!

Yes but your game isn't running in 1080p, it's at whatever 2003-tier res you selected in the ingame menu. I have a tutorial in the tutorials section if you wanna put some time into it. If not, just make sure your game is running at 1080p.
ohhhhh. Now I get you. I've just got mine set to 800x600 res and high detail. I like to have a few things open when im recording, so its handy just sticking RA2 in a liil window on it's own haha but that's most likely why the quality isn't up to scratch. I may well look into your tutorial in the near future, but im fine with how it is for now, I've only got like a week to finish this tourney up so I'd rather stay focused with what little time I have for the time being, cheers though! In other news, Round 4 is up!

Still Sucks is such a cool bot.
Hi5er, you should really try to record in 1080p and not use bandicam. 2003 resolution and a big watermark es no bueno
Definitely my favourite entry of the tournament so far. Such a simple design but well built and works so well! I can't remember who, but someone reccomended bandicam, it gets the job done and I'm not trying to win any awards haha. It is set to high output and im exporting the film in the highest resolution from my video editing software so im not sure why the quality is so low... If I ever host something else I'll look into alternatives! EDIT - quality doesn't seem too bad? You can adjust it to 1080p in the video settings? I would say I seriously regret entering Hydrogen, but I'll wait until I get a matchup I can win to say that XD

Round 3 is up!

So why did Hammer Time get 6 spoints va big disk club when everyone else got 3?
Because he has now played him twice. He won both times so 3 points on each occasion.

technically redace only lost one wedge war, so i'd consider this a win for him
Well he is winning at the moment, so we'll see either way! Just as a side note... I've been impressed with your bot so far. Great Wedge and the way it damages everything is really nice.

Round 2 is added to the videos section!

« on: November 03, 2016, 03:09:52 PM »
Ah apologies. I normally set spinning weapons to 99 so they're on all the time, so I set yours to 50, apparently not low enough!
I did say I take no responsibility for poor performance if you leave the Ai up to me!
But it's not over yet, every bot plays each bot twice, so still plenty of matches for you to pick up points.
Round 2 is being uploaded to youtube as we speak and rounds 3 and 4 have been recorded, just need to edit them down, some surprises in there tonight!

Bots like Big Disc Club have the AI attack radius lower so it first sets down before starting to spin up(don't worry, this radius is just for spinning up the first time, after that the bot will keep on spinning and never slow down), it lost more that way but could've also been more of a crawler.
Yeah it's definitely a shame. Fracture warned me that it sometimes happened with the AI he supplied, but what can you do?
I also thought it was funny how the match with a couple of the other bots went, yours for example, where he got shunted out almost instantly. Almost finished editing round 2 in other news.

This is what happens when modders edit __init__.py. Keep edits to separate files.
Download updated versions from AI repo.
https://github.com/apanx/RA2_AI
Amazing. Apanx has done it again haha, downloading these source files has corrected whatever the issue was and both bots are now working fine. Many thanks everyone, time for me to get some videos going!

Eternalsnowy? That's the AI name but the Bot is actually Snowy 1.0, don't mind keeping it however.
Its not hard to change, when I update the scores and brackets I'll amend it :)
