Off-Topic Discussion / Story Time - TMP: Discussion
« on: January 23, 2010, 01:21:36 PM »
GO TO THE CHARACTER TOPIC TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE IN THE MOVIE
 
Ok, I like Story Time for the most part (though it's getting kind of stupid lately TBH, sorry), and I got this handy animation program called Pencil 2D (Thanks again, JD), so......
I'm sure some people might think this is stupid, but I'd like to use part of Story Time for a short animation movie, mainly the SFTW space saga. If you think this is stupid, then don't post, ok? I've got some ideas, and if anyone can use Pencil 2D (mainly coloring) give me a PM.
 
I'd like this not to seem like a bunch of noobs put this together, I want this to look pretty high quality.
 
Some people apear in the movie who have non-humanoid/lifeform avatars, like Hydro and GF93 for instance, who will have to say what they want to look like.
If anyone wants to help with the script (like GF93....*hint hint* >:D), PM me. I've got some ideas, but I'd like some people to look them over.
Some parts light have to be edited/added/deleted, such as how LRA2 died about every 2 seconds on the thread (edited/deleted), and like him turning into Avalanche or something (added (?)).
Any help/input is welcome, please post or PM me if you want to help.
Ideas?

Off-Topic Discussion / Windows 7 vs XP
« on: January 22, 2010, 05:52:47 PM »
OK, you might know I use my family's computer for all my stuff, but I'm saving for my own, though I don't have quite enough dough at the moment. Anyway, I'm doing my research about Windows 7, and I want some of your guy's opinions on it, because I know R0B0, Sage, and Serge have it. How does it compare to XP? Is XP better in some areas? I even hear about this snazzy little key that is like a video print screen button. Would that work for Tournament vids? I'm not expecting you to do a full blown review because I know you guys are busy, but a few heads up would be cool. Thanks in advance.

Chatterbox / Double accounter come clean topic
« on: January 19, 2010, 01:19:44 PM »
Ok, almost all of you know about the Reier/Mrhalitosis caper a while back. While we thought it was kinda funny, it's probably not good if many people do it. CB said that anyway. While I thought MrH was funny, I won't do it again because it gets less and less funny each time. So to avoid any punishment, I think all the DAs should come clean. I'm aware of a couple but I won't say.
 
So far:
 
Reier - Mrhalitosis
Urjak - Kajru
Sage - cybrid and ?
 
All you jokesters please come clean, I don't think we will be punished if we admit it now and don't do it again.

Off-Topic Discussion / Animation program suggestion?
« on: January 14, 2010, 02:35:16 PM »
I'm working on a small movie (Something like 10-30 minutes) that uses Lego LDD for a Star Trek movie, like I announced on Alpha X the other day. So far I'm doing the terribly tedious process of stop-motion, and it doesn't look too great in the final stages, and it takes very long because I have to do SFX for each individual frame as well. So I'd like to ditch stop motion and try something else. My question is- do you guys have any suggestions for a good, free, (non-pirated/torrent...) program I could use for most of my movie?


I have a list of a few things it needs to do:

-Free range of stuff like movement, strech/skew, layers, etc. Kinda like Flash. I use PNGs and GIFs quite a bit so if I could move those across the screen for the movie that'd be great.

-Export in .wmv or .avi format. I use Movie maker and I need to import those types of files.

-Sound FX would be nice, though they're not really too vital.

-Some stuff like glows and shadows and blurs and stuff like that would be pretty nice also.


So if someone has any suggestions, I'd deeply appreciate it. If I need to clarify, I will. Thanks in advance.

Chatterbox / Alpha X Admin Request
« on: December 16, 2009, 03:19:30 PM »
As many of you know, I'm going to be the proud administrator of a Lego (Mainly Digital Designer) Forum called "Alpha X". I also need a Moderator because it'll be a bit hard to moderate these people all by myself. If anyone would like to be a mod, please PM me about it. I kinda need the help.
 
Thanks,

Chatterbox / New Forum
« on: December 09, 2009, 04:44:26 PM »
No, I'm not remaking GTM. :P I'm starting my own RA2 forum using Invisionfree. It's not up yet, but it will be probably within the week. I don't intend to be a ripoff of GTM, but RA2 needs more than one forum. I mean all the old forums went down the drain except GTM.
The forum probably won't be as popular and it's not really it's own site (because of invisionfree), but hey everything needs a start.
I also need a couple moderators before it goes up. Volunteers would be appreciated. They need to be able to be on the forum on a somewhat regular basis. I only need a couple.
 
If anyone wants to join and/help out I'd appreciate it.
Wish for your support,

I want to get it when it comes out but it's $50 and that's out of my price range so I'll try to get it on ebay or something later.
 
Anyway, it's a Star Trek MMO where you can customize your own ship and fight other people round the world. And you can also be a person and explore planets and stuff aswell.

« on: December 01, 2009, 01:30:20 PM »
It's some odd game that came out in the late 90's where your cars have machine guns and rocket launchers and stuff and you have to blow up sedans and baddie cars. It can be pretty hard at times.
The graphics aren't too great, but it's a good time killer.
 
Has anyone played it?

Registration is open now, no kidding! Weightclass is Stock Lightweights. Deadline is December 5th, 12:00pm Central time!

--------------------------------------------------

RULES- Send in an old as heck Lightweight robot, one you made before you joined the forums! If you don't have the original, I'm fine with you making a replica of the old bot as close as you can. The bot has to be N00by. If it's too good, I'll reject it.
I got sick of rejecting bots that were too good last season. So be easy on me this time and send it a total stinker, please? It's not about winning, it's about have a laugh.
For what "too good" is, I rejected this:


--------------------------------------------------

I want everyone to have fun. There will be no loser's bracket. Bracket will be 32 bots big. I changed the format a little bit since season 2- the first 2 rounds will be rumbles then there will be a deathmatch final. Arena will be a modded Octagon. Thanks to JoeBlo, Pits are inactive, no pitting this time! Hammers and Floorraisers are active however.

If you can AI, please do so. It will save me a lot of work. If you cannot though, I will. Don't expect it to be off the chart awesome, be warned...

Off-Topic Discussion / Internet Resolution
« on: November 04, 2009, 12:11:03 PM »
All of a sudden when I was surfing the net today, my screen resolution just changed. Not the whole computer, just the internet... What's causing this?
All the sites, I go to- BZPower, GTM, Google...anything I go to is changed. Only thing not changed is the RA2 Wiki...

Any ideas? It's kind of annoying with like size 32 font all the time.

EDIT: Well duhhhhhhhhhh on my part....
It's fixed, nevermind.

If you see a bot somewhere and don't know who built it or anything, post it here. See if people will help you.

Anyway, I was on this image hosting site called Majhost, and I ran across this:





I think I recall seeing it on the old forum...?
Anyone know who built this?

Muahahaha



SPLASH

Y'all will be fighting for this reused prize! (And maybe a secret one too...)

Runner up and Voting winners will get a Silver version.


Good luck to all.

------------------------------------------
ROUND 1


Ohhhkay so a Flipper with a few spikes vs a HS. Obviously the HS wins, right? Seems logical...
Wrong. Not saying the HS doesn't win, but this is very close. Mole's spikes seem to clog up Shredder's weapon, and being pushed around by the Flipper's stronger drive won't help either...
Shredder wins barely, DM was KOed by the hammer. I thought it was funny that Der Maulwurf was ahead on points. XD


Anyway Death By Stripes has weapon overload for a N00b bot and fast drive but pays the price by not being able to self right and the fact the weapons themselfs are all facing the wrong way. XD Butcheroo has slightly weaker drive and ramplate defense but has some horribly exposed extenders for the weapon. Both have huge hunky-chunky wheels aswell.
Butcheroo wins, KOing DBS.


Ok, some people might have thought I rigged this so that these almost-clone bots fight each other but that's not the case. Both have about the same weapon, n500 is faster but Craaig can (kinda) self right. Will come down to luck mainly.
KPBOD wins. Reigning champ nerd500 is KOed!


Well........this match was short...
ICAGB pulls a semi-Mr Claws and wins by TKO. PS: I filmed another match to see what would've happened if HEAVYAXE didn't go flying, and it won. :O


While Ayu has the drive power to get under Boxie 1, it still needs to get past the whirling dervish of maces while not taking damge itself. While Ayu's weapon itself is destructive, it has a pretty wimpy motor to power it aswell... The backs of each bot are exposed too, inviting some weapons to hit the target.
Big Box 1 wins by a hair, Ayu is KOed.


Some pretty good action in this one. With 6wd, KCroc will obviously pummel Crush 2 around the arena, but can Crush take the hits long enough to get some of his own? KCroc has some nasty exposed wheels aswell which could be a hayday to chop off. Lots of pushing and ramming in this match, but lots of desctruction aswell.
King Croc wins by KO. It may not look like it on the splash, but Crush has even shorter reach than HEAVAXE...


I wasn't sure how Duck wanted his bot AIed but it had a smartzone right above the wedge so I made it a flipper. Both Delta and RET! have exactly the same drive so it's a standoff on the push factor but RET! has a flipper and Delta has a nasty weapon so it could go either way.
Delta smears RET by KO.


The Flails may fail as R0B0 put it but it's one of the best HSs on the field. Axebot has a pathetic weapon and one of the hugest chassis' in the tourney but has good drive and could pin FF? FF has an exposed top and Axebot has exposed....exerything. Who knows, maybe a miracle could happen...
No I didn't rig this, Axebot wins by KO.


Well...I wonder who will win...?
Viper pretty much vaporizes THN as expected with a KO.


This was as close as all of you expected. Both weapons have the same hitpoints, Sucker's is more powerful but Salamander has better drive and some ramplate defense aswell. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Quite a bit of action in the beggining and it slows down a bit in the end is why I only gave it 3 stars.
Suckerpunch BARELY wins on a WBP. Both bots lose all their weapons. XD


Dissapointingly un-action packed. They goof off for about 30 seconds then one gets TKOed.
Warfare wins by TKO. Cheez-it gets stuck on it's side.


Not a bad match, though not near as action packed as say C.R.U.S.H. 2 vs KC for instance. Both have chassis wedges and Burst weapons, but SI is zippier and 0-G has thicker armor (Uhhhh I think). Whooooo willll wiiiiiiinnn???
Sudden Intervention by KO.


Radiation doesn't have a lot of updraft and has normals on his weapon, but has wedges and can break TDL's traction with the ground. TDL has a pretty nasty weapon. Both bots are fairly quick and can flank each other pretty easy too.
TDL wins with a KO.


Short. Incase you're wondering, GS's weapons is 2 icepicks on a DDT.
VR wins by KO.


Unstoppable force meets immovible object....LOL JK. Sledges are awful weapons but they are pretty heavy and when you have enough of em...watch out. Saw 3's wheels are exposed so he will have to get in pretty fast if he doesn't want to be pushed aside and KOed...
HAZMAT wins by KO.


At first glance you'll be like "OH NO DEJA VU FROM MATCH 4!!" but it that doesn't happen thankfully. It's also really funny the 2 bots with the word OWN in their title fight each other in the 1st round. XD Anyway, OWNER has some pretty fast drive and C-OWN has some reeeally exposed extenders, but miracles have happened before...
Well not this time. C-OWN simply doesn't spin fast enough and gets beaten by KO.


------------------------------------------
ROUND 2



1st Rumble! Ok 2 HS and 2 hammers....none have too great of reach exept Butcheroo there. Quite a bit of variety in the bots aswell...IDK how I couldn't say this could go any way.
Sonny sure is the King of winning by a hair. Everyone else is TKOed.


K, the bots in this rumble aren't bad overall (exept Axebot... ><), with decent weaponry and speed etc generally. Don't really know what to say that will make it more "dramatic" or anything.
Delta wins after KOing KCroc. Axebot and Big Box are immobilized.


Pretty violent but slows down quite a bit at the end so I cut the boring part out for you. All bots are pretty powerful for the tourney with a HS, a SnS/HS, a popup and a poker. Suckerpunch has goofy driving, Warfare has high weapons, SI has and exposed chassis, and VTAK is slowwww. Who knows?
Suckerpunch beats Warfare in a WBP. Viper and SI are KOed.


Good Poker, hammer with decent defense, good HS, and fast sawbot. I really don't know how to make good descriptions for rumbles....
OWNER wins by KO after pushing HAZMAT into the hammer. TDL was KOed by HAZMAT and VRaptor was immobilized.



------------------------------------------
Round 3


Dude, there is no WAY I'm gonna tell you who wins or even give a hint. Watch it.
NOOOOOOB WATCH THE STUPID MATCHH!!!

Post your NW2 bots here.



Axebot. 4wd HPZs :O:O:O and like 4 Blacks and nifties. Axe on a DDT, pole spike flipper on a snapper2 (because Scout was giving me trouble XO), and 2 stationary spikes on the back. Steel armor. Chassis is as big X-Y as it can get.

Axebot was so awesome IMO then that I vowed I'd never make another robot with 4wd HPZs... :S Then a year later I realized that was dumb and got a weeeee bit better.
