Getting bots ready for Orc Wars 3.  Here's at least one of them:

SnowStormIII.png


SnowStorm hasn't exactly had the best luck due to issues that either were a loss of power, or just a weak flipper.  This time, I hoped to at least address both, and still give it some strength.  Going back to the dual Storm Burst flippers and it gives some strong flips, but I am a little afraid that it hasn't gotten some OOTA flips, but I'm hoping it survives long enough for a Judge's Decision, and not get robbed somehow.  The only real downsides that it's not as fast as I'd like.  Even using NPCFs, it's not the fastest flipper out there.  I mean, it's not the end of the world, but hoping for a future build, I'll find a way to incorporate speed, battery power, flipping abilities, and defenses so it's the best of all worlds.  Maybe Click's overvolt system if it's used in the future might help.  Although I haven't quite tested it yet.  So maybe that'll help.

Removed Double00rhys2 from the list due to him not fixing his entrants issues.

Also, while I'm not as worried for this, but I haven't quite recieved any entrants in a while, so unless there's a giant gap of inactivity from now and later, then I might just open up secondary signups, which does make me worried for how I'm going to handle seeding, but oh well.

It does slightly disappoint me that the slot decals on the chassis can't spin, but that's stretching it I guess.

Be slightly disappoint no more! That's not the chassis you're looking at, it's a makeshift drum made of skinned armour panels. Only the golden parts don't spin.
Oh for some reason it looked like the chassis for a second.  Haha.

Also I guess since you mentioned it, holy hell I don't even think most of my starcore rebuilds are even worth discussing  anymore.  This was back in a time where I didn't know any better.  Hell I don't even know if I'm any better now anymore.

You should create an AI pack with these bot designs, but rename and re-texture the bots so they don't look like you're copying the SCAI packs. Also, redesign the teams.
First of all, I have made several AI packs in the past, and one is even in stock.  Second of all, for the Starcore bots?  Let's not at the moment.  I will state this until I die, pretty much 90% of my early bots are gone.  And even if I were to try to rebuild them all, I wouldn't be proud of it anyway.  It's kinda just a personal thing at this point, cause I built most of my Starcore inspired/rebuilds cause I didn't know better, and I felt I needed some starting ground for improvements.  You could say that I have been improving from that, but I still didn't quite get a personality for myself.  Let's just say I took that hiatus back then for a reason.  At this point, if I were to actually make Starcore AI remakes, it would be if he actually got the ball rolling again.

Dude that's awesome.   I love the concept of it too.  It does slightly disappoint me that the slot decals on the chassis can't spin, but that's stretching it I guess.

More extender-bot practice:

Cheezeits_Box_of_Doom.png


Heavily inspired by Click's Cheez-it Box of Doom, which I have actually downloaded from the old, old Atari forums way back when I was lurking on anything RA2 related.  So I got the idea to make the Cheez-It box the base and experiment around it.  Barely had enough weight to make it even a HW to begin with, and I originally disliked how it looked in the end.  I thought it looked slightly too boxy and goofy, but later on, I kinda grew to it since it is based on a Cheez-it box, which is advertised to be goofy and rather wacky, so I guess I may have unintentionally gotten the vibe... maybe... hopefully... okay probably not.

And yes, the hammers, while slow, do actually go 360 because that's pretty fun.  If there's something like a PWS3 and I do happen to have some time for it, then I'll most likely enter this because these seems crazy enough for anyone to drive and anyone who has to drive it later might have a complicated time.  At least both sides will have fun right?

Well, it has been nearly a week since I've gotten anything, so I'll give it at least another week, and then I'll most likely allow secondary signups.  And I might talk to a tourney mod for something I don't want to reveal at the moment, but might shake up the competition for a low number of entrants.  Assuming I can get permission for it in the first place anyway., if not, then this little hint is entirely worthless.

less razors

where do you think we are?

Like I said:
(crazy idea right?)

Hey, can you release the AI that you were fighting when you were rebuilding the Starcore bots? for instance- I'd like to fight "MagiKK" and "Wipeout."
That was INF AI, and you can download it here: https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/infiniteinertia%20AI%20v0.1.rar

Also I guess since you mentioned it, holy hell I don't even think most of my starcore rebuilds are even worth discussing  anymore.  This was back in a time where I didn't know any better.  Hell I don't even know if I'm any better now anymore.
You kids all outclass me in a lot of ways these days in more categories than one.  ._.

Hey nice to see you around here again!

Honestly,  for improvements, I'd probably say to maybe just give it better drive, cause HPZ's would work wonders, and I honestly can't see the samurai swords doing anything other than hinder its performance.

Also, for AI packs, I'd say maybe Starcore V4, INF AI, PYS AI and ReStocked 2018 would be good picks for testing if a bot is viable or not.

I have received Evil Toaster's entrant.  It is accepted.

Oh, I should mention to any seeds out there that want to participate, I would kinda would like some form of formal PM saying you would.  This way you don't lose your guaranteed spot.

and i might just fix this rule to give a better benefit to seeds in a possible dm4 hopefully

Haven't really recieved any bots for a while so I'm little worried.  If this continues to be slow, then I guess I'll have no choice but to open secondary signups, but I would like to at least have eight bots before I even consider that option.

And now for something a little more intricate.



Something I usually don't do, but something I came up with an idea for with my family getting an explorer soon in my mind, but anyway, yeah.  There are some things I wanted to list in the splash, but I don't think I had room for it in the splash.  Such as...

forb_1.png


C A R  S T E E R I N G

forb_2.bmp


All the hinges possible to open the hood and all the doors.  One I did list in the splash, but I could've gotten away with using just one.

forb_3.png


It's nearly as big as the sports car in the DSL garage.  This is how far we've come folks.  Not bad for a Forb Explorer.

Oh yeah, the name is actually Forb Explorer, not Ford Explorer.  If you looked at the font, it actually has a 'b' not a 'd' since originally thought this looked like a knock-off Ford when I finished due to the blockiness.  I mean, RA2 is limiting, but it's a tad ridiculous at times.  I fooled you all and none of you noticed.   :mrgreen:  Although the actual best part is this:

#2 is a bronco not an explorer smh

This was NOT intentional, and I never realized it until he said that.  Of course the guy who knows things about cars would call me out on that.  I found this kinda funny, but I guess I gotta learn to give artist intention a little more obvious so maybe this is something to take away.

Lastly, I only realized this after this is done, but the weight is technically incorrect.  Just add 400 KG to the splash since I forgot about the backdrop when I was making the splash.  Whoops.   :facepalm:

So with BOTM out of the way...



Things I forgot to mention in splash: 2 Supervolts, 2 Airtanks, and 16 razors (I think?) total.

I mean, I certainly didn't expect to win it this time, due to how, well simple it looks.  This has certainly been done before, and I really thought I would be out of the running for this because of that.  I originally thought the poker part is slightly outclassed due to the popup weaponry, but to my surprise, it has come in handy from time to time.  The wedges seem to be rather well, and is slightly weak against spinners due to the armor.  I might make a newer version that has a smaller chassis, less razors (crazy idea right?) and a snapper setup to fit such.  And it might even look cooler.

Also...

For the challenge thing against Pip.  Wedges are surprisingly good.  Seems to out-wedge G4W from time to time and if it does get in a stalemate, then the razor cutters can cut the wedges or scoop the bot on the popup aspects.  Gotta love RAD Spinners :D.  It isn't too special, but it does look cool with the armor, so there's something I guess.

I have received Sevalents entrant.  It is accepted.

I have also received Double00rhys2's and Bildschirm's entrants.  Both are unfortunately having issues that I have told to them in their respective PMs.

Edit: Just received Bild's fix.  It is now accepted.

Good to know my style of rule formatting seems to be descriptive enough to transfer over to other people without many changes.

For real, I am actually down for entering, but I would love to know the arena you had in mind for this tournament.  I can't seem to find it from the rules.
