Chatterbox / The real meaning between RPJK's name
« on: February 17, 2014, 09:59:50 AM »


And yeah, I know there's a J, but it's ****ing pointless.

Overview:
I've actually felt like hosting a tournament for a while, but I wanted to be more dynamic than simply "lol, single elimination, 16 bots, fight for winrar". I wanted to try and make something entirely new that hasn't really been done before. Most of my ideas lacked originality for a RA2 tourney, but eventually, I thought of a concept that had never been done before, and this is what I'm going to present to you today.

The Rules:
1: 16 entrants. However, each entrant MUST build 3 robots to compete in the tournament.
2: DSL Middleweight. DSL Standard realistic.
3: Please AI your own robots. I only know basic AI techniques, so only ask me if you don't have any idea at all how to AI your robots (to which I would refer you to the AIing guide for future reference)
4: Cheatbot2 and Custom Components are not allowed.
5: Other than skinning, there is to be no modifications outside of the bot lab, including but not limited to BFE, AAM, Thyrus Glitch, ZeroG and Text Editing.
6: ALL GLITCHES ARE PROHIBITED. NO EXCEPTIONS.
7: Your robot must have controlled movement, or it will not be allowed.
8: Clusterbots are prohibited.
9: These matches will take place in the DSL Tournament Arena, as per usual. Hazards will be off.
10: Should you havok once during a match, the match will be restarted. Should you havok again, you will forfeit the match.
11: Matches will be 3 minutes long.
12: Once you have sent your robot, that is it. No more upgrades, so make sure it is in full working order before sending it to me.
13: The interesting part; the tournament format. Whilst the bracket will follow a normal 1 vs 1 single elimination structure, battles will take place as follows:

Before your match, you must list your 3 robots in order of robot you wish to start with, to final robot you wish to use. Failure to meet deadline will result in your list being randomized by myself. You must PM this information and not make it public.

The robots that you both chose first will be the first to fight. Once a robot of yours loses, your next one will assume its place, and vice versa. Once all 3 of a team's robots are eliminated, the match is won/lost.

However, after winning a match, YOU MUST REPLACE A ROBOT OF YOURS WITH A ROBOT OF THE LOSING TEAM. You get a completely independent choice here. Failure to meet deadline will result in me picking by random for you.

I finally have software for it and I don't have to make the bots!


Here's the bracket. I removed Flying Sheep for being a Trinity Spinner, and Shedenator and Battlebox because they kind of sucked. Best of 3 matches in the Combat Arena, hazards disabled.


EDIT: First 16 battles done, editing into videos soonish.

Real Robotics Discussion / The Robot Wars Debate - General Discussion
« on: October 31, 2013, 09:46:05 AM »
Seeing as this section is fairly dead, I've decided to take a spin at trying to give it some life, in the form of a debate section on Robot Wars, along with Battlebots the most successful and prominent robotic combat show in history.

How will this work? Basically, I'll be asking for 6 people to take a side, creating 2 sides of 3. There will be quality control on who gets these slots (for example, a coherent poster will beat out a Sylandro for a certain slot). Anyone else is welcome to post in the thread, but they mustn't overshadow the 6 individuals discussing the subject at hand. I will also post as a neutral voice in an attempt to point out flawed logic, but otherwise, I will remain silent. After a certain amount of time, non-participants may vote in the thread, bolding the name of the team they think won the debate (in the event of a tie, I will unbalance the vote). After a winner has been determined, the next debate will be set up and priority will be given to those who did not participate last time.

This is the general discussion thread for the events. Post any ideas for topics you wish to debate (I already have one on the subject of TAN) and give me feedback if you wish to partake in a debate. Ask any questions too.

Off-Topic Discussion / Are Graphics Cards really that important?
« on: October 28, 2013, 02:17:24 PM »
Don't get me wrong, they're one of the main things you should focus on for a gaming PC, but to be completely honest, I'm a lot more focused on the RAM and CPU. Those are the things that actually run the things on your PC and determine what you can and can't do. With Graphics, you can toggle them to your graphics card needs quite easily.

Personally, I believe Gaming PC's to be focused like this: 40% CPU, 40% RAM, 15% Graphics Card and 5% other stuff such as Power Supply and Motherboard.

What are your thoughts on graphics cards?

General Support / Random RA2 Crashes
« on: October 28, 2013, 01:43:43 PM »
So I decided to play around with Stock 1.4 today (AwesumSauce's DL link), and the game has a very annoying tendency to crash randomly and frequently. Is there anyway to avoid these random crashes?

Tournament Archives / TRiaS's display tournament
« on: October 31, 2012, 05:30:16 PM »
Moved here, because I don't have a Custom Showcase
Yeah, I'm gonna be making an extremely strict IRL tournament with 96 bots. I will be posting all of them one by one here and then once all are up, I will be hosting. These are extremely rushed robots, and are meant to look somewhat like ones IRL.



That is the first one, Rising Sun. 398.something. Aluminium 5.

Off-Topic Discussion / Well #1 - Poll
« on: October 31, 2012, 09:35:37 AM »
Ever wished you could learn and know more about someone on the Gametechmod forums? Well now you can! You can vote your favourite members here and get to know more about them. The concept is simple, you are trapped in a well for a week, and in that period of time, people start asking you questions. You answer the questions, people get more insight about you.

Here's how it will work:

- There will be a poll with 10 popular people on it. Everyone on the forums will be able to vote on who they would like to know more about.
- The winner of the poll must create a thread. On the the thread he/she will write a brief autobiography of their life.
- Members will then be able to ask as many questions as they like to know about that user.
- Nothing stupid though.
- The first poll will begin soon with 10 popular members.
- Users that do not feel like sharing information about their life will be excluded from the poll.
- After the first well, there will be another well where it will start off again with 10 options. This time 5 new users will be placed on the poll, replacing the 5 most unpopular people on the first well's poll.

I hope everyone has fun with this and that we learn a lot more about ourselves.
