Site News and Feedback / rep
« on: March 30, 2016, 09:36:36 AM »
disclaimer: no flame wars please. I know you people. keep it civil.
anyway

what is the point
people are just like "lol its rep who cares why its here!!!". Yeah it's dumb and ineffective. So...why have it then
It doesn't achieve its intended purpose, to show members who is respected and who isn't - which in itself only helps newbies who don't know all the users yet. But right now it's completely useless for them because of people just rating people randomly for "lols" ie andy currently has 14 for instance.
if someone has a legitimate point to keep the rep system that's fine but if your only reason to keep it is "because its funnyy xdddddd" that's a lame excuse.

Quote from: GTM official rules
Valid Reason — Things like “’cuz he’s cool” or "'cuz he's not cool" are not valid reasons for changing someone’s reputation. If you want to change someone's rep than please say what they did to earn their "cool" or "uncool" status. The logs will be scanned on a regular basis to ensure that people are providing valid reasons for changing someone else's rep. It’s all fun and games until an administrator sees it and decides to take away your rep powers.

yeah like anybody's done that in the past 2 years.
of course with a system like this people are going to abuse it and its almost impossible not to because there's no reason to anyway. that was like the entire point of the racecarlock episode was to show how pointless it was if people somehow didn't know already

i couldnt care less what my rep is or what anyone else's is because i know it's moot, but frankly i'm in favor of doing anything to make this forum less easy for stupid people to be stupid. right now it's just a vent for petty people to click a button and take it out on their target or just a lame avenue to spam memes and crap. as it is the only ones who may be helped by the system are the ones most likely to be hurt by it. I'm all in favor of removing it.

Discussion / ironforge AGOD
« on: January 10, 2016, 01:16:54 PM »
anybody noticed how AGOD is much less prevalent in ironforge? Like in stock almost every bot i made that had a spinning component had AGOD like crazy but in IF I barely have any. The motors in IF also seem to stop much faster in the botlab when you spin them. Are these two things related? I'm curious.

Discussion / ninja stars in ironforge
« on: January 07, 2016, 12:16:22 PM »
they actually don't all have 6300 hp no matter the size like it says in the description. I finally looked at the components files like a hero :claping and the biggest has 5730hp (not 6300 oddly). The smallest has 2330. I thought it was a potentially broken technique to stack small ninjas with their "insane" hp but they thankfully have comparable values to other components. Now they will be completely trash in all aspects now :)

I'm gonna look through some more weapons, some of these descs may need to be updated as they're inaccurate for the stats.

Discussion / slamopponentfuriouslyintowall.py
« on: December 20, 2015, 10:12:59 PM »
seriously, is there a py that does something like this? I'm tired of my aied bots just doodlin around when they're gutripping the opponent, the thing needs to drive forward but it just sits still under the guy its killing when controlled by omni.py. I know eternalflame does something like this where it keeps going forwards upon contact but I need it to work with spinners and hammers and stuff. Anybody know?

EDIT: if anyone wants to take a shot with the robot, be my guest

ok so I have this robot Nuclear Load



and its wedges suck hard. I've tried everything I can think of. I've shifted the ballasts, I've changed the drive between single and twinbirds, I've messed around with the skirt positions and angles more times than I can count. I've moved them back and forth and further apart and together again. they still suck.

I honestly hate wedges. I basically always have, and it feels very limiting having to devote resources to a wedge you will basically ALWAYS need for an RA2 bot to be decent. it seems very random to me if you get effective wedginess or not. most of my testing is against the HW popup I made for ReiAI which has pretty good wedges overall. the thing outwedges NL almost every time. Nuclear load is an amazing robot- if it can get under the opponent. AIed, it wins against almost all of the non-wedged robots in IF/ReiAI. I honestly think it's one of the best designs I've ever made, but its incredibly handicapped to its true potential by the low roll I got for my wedge chances.

from what I understand about wedges, the more pressure you can muster with ballasts and stuff the better for the wedge (do only ballasts count to the balance, or do batts too, etc?). You want a vague magical angle for the skirt, not to shallow or too steep. Also bounciness of the robot tends to kill wedges (NL is not bouncy in the slightest even at max spinner speed, smooth as butter baby). Also from what I understand in actual practice though is all the planning in the world can't compare to the luck of the draw if your wedge is good or not.

How can I make these better? This applies to all robots, but in particular NL here. this is just the penultimate example of mine of a killer robot ruined by a crappy wedge. I really could use a hand here guys.

Haven't had this happen before now but it won't recognize my esc key so I have to alt f4 when I want to quit a match halfway. my esc key works in everything else. Anyone know?
