Discussion / Take A Guess All Round Bot Builder Championship Edition!
« on: April 13, 2013, 10:24:18 PM »
We are just one day away from getting the All Round Bot Builder Championship under way so let's hold a contest! whoever is the closest to all 3 questions will have their team displayed on the splash (in the intro to the game) for the GTM AI pack.

1. How many hybrids are entered in the tournament?
2. How many multi-bots are entered in the tournament?
3. How many Flying-guillotine type (long legged) bots are in the tournament?

What is considered a rammer hybrid? A rammer or wammer hybrid is any bot with strong (irons/razors/maces/ice picks/bear claws etc.) weapons in a location and/or at an angle that it could be possible to do substantial damage to weaponry and/or chassis.

I have been holding contests for AW's and BW's (will for CW's in future) to add more bots to the Re-stocked AI pack. The contests are currently on hold while I work on ARBBC so I thought I would put together what new bots we have so far.

Teams so far:



Bots added:

Red Zone - AW and BW
PREHISTORIC - AW
Good Ol' Boys - AW
Team Ninja - AW

Existing Games / Is this Blizzards biggest april fools joke yet?
« on: March 31, 2013, 06:38:22 PM »
http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/

What do you guys think? We have only recently received info on this, Blizzard has a history of great april fools jokes but this one getting started before april makes me wonder if it counts  :rolleyes:

Here are some previous april fools jokes from them:

The Bard, was revealed to us as a new class that would use guitar hero controls.


Mount customisation:


and my fav, the molten core game:


Some of these jokes have actually made it into the game like the downloadable molten core game (not on the 2600 sadly) and the now playable race, the pandaren.

Contests / Poll for next Re-stocked design contest.
« on: March 31, 2013, 12:19:01 PM »
So with not many entries in the AW contests I figured people might want to have contests for the other 2 weight classes I have planned to add to Re-stocked, beetleweights and cruiserweights. Vote for what you want to enter basically.

If we stick to AW's we will continue down the list of teams which means Black Storm and Team Spark would be next. If we move to the other weight classes we start at Red Zone and work our way down.

Next 2 contests for each option:

AW = Black Storm and Team Spark
BW = Red Zone and PREHISTORIC
CW = Red Zone and PREHISTORIC

640x480x32:


https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/importbot640x480x32.rar

Extract to Robot Arena 2 > UI > Botlab

The import bot list features up to 32 extra bots (from 8 to 40 bots) in the bot list viewable while scrolling. Great for those who have a lot of bots in their robot designs folder!



Longer AI team list in exhibition:

Extract the one you want to Robot Arena 2 > UI > Exhibition

It contains a much longer team list for AI packs with up to 6 bots. No glitchy buttons :) great for use with massive AI packs like Ultimate stock AI.

Other Tutorials / Ianh05's Guide to making a neat splash with paint!
« on: March 20, 2013, 02:54:08 AM »
Recently I have discovered a quick and easy way to apply transparency to bot splashes, I want to share this with all of you in hope that it could help you enter more contests like BOTM without the fear of submitting a sub-par splash. So here is my quick and easy to follow walkthrough!


Step 1: Take screenshots (with F11) of your bot.


Step 2: Go to your screenshots folder and look for the screenshot, Right click on the file and click "edit".



Step 3: Use the fill tool to make the grey background white (right button by default in paint). The images need to be in .bmp format for this to work, it is the format screenshots are taken in so not much to worry about there :)



Step 4: Use google images to find a suitable background for your robot, for this bot "Oil Drill 2" we'll use something oil related.


Step 5: Resize the background image so it isn't too big by editing the file in paint. By right-clicking on the background and then clicking resize you can shrink the image down by a certain percentage.



Step 6: Go back to your robots picture with the white background, select the area around the bot and right-click then copy that part of the image and paste it onto your background. Make sure to click on the little arrow pointing down under the selection tool and select "Transparent selection" when you paste the image.



Step 7: Add more flavour, info and screenshots! google is your friend if you want to add more flavour to your splash with more themed images.


Tips:

*http://cooltext.com/ is a great website that provides a bunch of different text fonts/styles, if you want to add words to your image try this site!

*Borders help clean an image up and make it less of a jumbled mess, you can search google images or make your own borders to put around info and battleshots etc.

I'm trying to upload the Ultimate Stock AW AI but I can't due to both forum uploaders not working, the file size is not a problem as the file is only about 11mb.
