Originally it wasn't a rule for Display tournaments.. the problem we found was people who got banned were using it as a loophole to run more tournaments.

Oh okay smartypants, have you got any better ideas for encouraging people to run tournaments? Because that's what I'm asking for.
It wouldn't be a 'rule' anyway, as I said, just encouragement.


In the current environment I think a "less is more" approach is needed


Rather then more rules, systems, forum sections, etc I feel it could become more simplistic to raise the interest in tournaments again.

I just decided to dress up the BOTM page a little bit more and noticed Lightning S and Domanating dont have Wiki Pages


If someone has the time I think they should get made being contest winners (and 1 is an AU) :)

Well, this is gonna be boring. Might as well enter, being as there isn't gonna be that much variation.

Well thats just it, I proposed the challenge to see if people can push to make something new... or at least numbers would be high because its not hard to make a generic one :P

Thanks everyone for voting and participating, keeping botm alive :)

Good to know I can still cause some controversy.. guess haters gonna hate I guess?

Yes it is my old robot crossfire which was built as a multibot originally anyway but hey I built it and never got to use it in anything so I dont see an issue?, I skinned the ironman piece by piece (legitimate) and started making a thor (new robot altogether) to go with it until my computer crashed, tight on deadline I quickly edited all the iron man skins and parts to resemble war machine instead.

The inside shot in the corner is a desaturated picture of ironman to avoid any confusion that the two have the same internals but I guess that came off confusing at it looked like war machine (you'll notice war machine is a tad darker though)

I mainly entered to just boost the sad numbers, Its hardly lazy when you actually take time to enter unlike those complaining. :/

Discussion / Re: What would you like in a Components pack?
« on: September 26, 2013, 09:41:12 AM »
Instead of replacing the components with the newer version, I have included them in the proper folder with slightly adjusted names (in this case windows has taken care of this with ease ie awbatt.txt and awbatt (2).txt ) It seems to work quite well.


Have you taken into account the fact .bot files write the file names and path's inside the file?


so for example, importing a robot which requests the part "components/awbatt.txt" when in reality it requires the now renamed  awbatt (2).txt


while your solution works for a standalone situation, robots cannot be imported nor be compatible with other versions of RA2 because of this..

What do you know, my memory isnt too bad :P


I've used a Judge burst against ty4er online before.


Yeah I realised after I posted Mr.A's post above corrects the cheatbot issue, its just painful to edit a post via mobile sometimes but thanks for clarifying it proper :)

Its been years.. but I believe its a value in the config file or buried in the ra2 .cfz

If you search on here you will find it somewhere

Thats provided there is no cheatbot2 parts as pretty sure they also prevent online play

There isn't really an incentive to do so for its current use. The arena was a bit excessively big (to look good on TV) and the current arena takes hours to put up and down as it is.


You know, when you actually think about it.. it really was, length ways at least... the pit release is a long way from where you start..


Good Luck today Vertigo!
