Tournament Archives / Chassis Swap-Up - Signups« on: August 23, 2016, 11:32:06 PM »Rules: Stock, Unrealistic, Standard ruleset (BFE, AAM etc banned as per usual) Heavyweight 16 entrants, 1 entry per person. Multibots allowed, but if one dies they both lose. SnS, Crawlers and ghey stuff banned. Unless you do something cool like that SnS flipper. No more than 20 irons/maces/bear claws on pure HS. Do something interesting. RO7 break allowed, the one that lets you do a million chassis points allowed. 1 havok restart per match per bot, any further havoks count as a round loss. No skinned or custom components (but I have sage's skin pack so I'll let that slide) I can AI, but not very well (ask RedAce about my AI skillz), I strongly suggest you AI your bot yourself. Bots may not be updated Arena will be The Trauma Pit The bye bot is Snake Bite 2 Gimmick: All entrants must only submit a chassis. I'll reject you if you send something that's impossible to build with or just max size etc. Make it interesting folks, get creative with the paintjobs too. After everyone has submitted their chassis, I'll then send every entrant a different chassis the the one they submitted You CANNOT change the paintjob of the chassis given to you. There will be a deadline after all the chassis have been distributed to get your finished bot back in. Any slowpokes will be replaced by a byebot Signups: 1: RedAce 2: Thrackerzod 3: Wen 4: Mr AS 5: Kurt 6: 090901 7: Squirrel_Monkey 8: Guldenflame 9: Apanx 10: Dreamcast 11: kill343gs 12: geice 13: kill again (I'll build in this one) 14: Sage 15: MNB 16: Black: Received Red: Issue (Spot is not reserved) Orange: Chassis Accepted Green: Bot Accepted Signups will end a week from approval, at which point everyone will receive someone else's chassis. You'll then have a week to submit your final bot. Anyone who doesn't submit a bot in that time will be replaced by a bye-bot. The bracket/group system will be a scaled down version of the PC group/bracket system. 63

Modifications / Balancing Stock - Stock Balance Patch« on: August 14, 2016, 11:20:53 PM »
Foreword
I've been thinking about putting out a 'balance' patch for stock for a short while. The problem with stock (as I see it) is that while the building style allows for some really cool and flashy designs (see geice's showcase), it's a huge pain in the ass to build in, and there is only a small selection of viable components for every situation. Hopefully a balance patch could introduce more (if not all) components into the metagame, allowing for more varied bots and a more enjoyable building experience. Just for clarification's sake, this patch/mod would be played with the standard stock building style, NOT DSL-S. Status Currently I'm just theorycrafting and getting input on my thoughts. I'm not sure if this will even ever be released, as it may never gain traction in an already small community. Hopefully, however, it will prove to create a more enjoyable game out of stock, and best case scenario it will take over as the default version of stock used in tournaments/challenges Aims To make as many components as possible viable in some way, in some situation To make stock more enjoyable to build in To widen the stock metagame to be more inclusive Long term, if it gets enough traction, it can be regularly updated with buffs/nerfs and even introducing new components, causing a shifting metagame that will prevent staleness and will keep builders engaged Proposed changes for version 1.0: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a2BI6u869pw3mePBZsCU1f_2bCO_ICSUUKRM_r5NT9Y/edit?usp=sharing Special thanks to Mr AS for his help and guidance so far. 65

Off-Topic Discussion / My computer is dead, help« on: July 28, 2016, 02:53:02 PM »
Copy/paste for a homshardware post
My PC is not outputting any video, either through the motherboard or the GPU outputs, to my monitor or a TV, Displayport or HDMI. It is definitely booting fine, as I can hear the windows login screen sound, but I cannot get any video output, not even in the BIOS. The problem occurred when I tried to change my monitor's refresh rate from 144hz to 60hz in the hopes of fixing a visual bug (which I've encountered many times before, I usually just restart to fix it.). When I boot, my monitor wakes from sleep, and my TV autoswitches to the HDMI input, as thought they are getting a signal, but on both a "No signal" error is displayed. My GPU is a 970 and I'm on windows 10, if that matters. What steps can I go through to try to fix this? Yes, I've tried restarting multiple times. Will give prize to whoever manages to fix it. 71
