Robot Rumble 2.0 - Robot Combat Simulator - Under Development

I still have to check out the recent updates. Haven't played this for at least 2 years

everyone is cracked now

[Gulden]

New Bleeding Edge is out.  It hasn't been thoroughly tested yet, so don't be surprised when unexpected things happen.

New Bleeding Edge build: JAN13

This build fixes some issues with welding around hinged groups (everything that spins/rotates)
An important thing to know is that the first placed object on a hinge/chain/belt/etc will be the root component of said group,
this root component part is invincible for now.
Parts that dont have a physical connection to the root component or hinge/chain/belt/etc will fall off on spawn, just like unwelded parts on the chassis.
This can be tricky to fix, because the highlighting of unwelded components it currently not working for hinged groups. This will be fixed later.

The fixed welding causes EVERYTHING apart from root components to be capable of getting damaged, including spinners.
The strenght of a part is mostly determained by the material and the material thickness, set by the slider in the materials tab.
You should always try to get this thickness slider as high as possible on weapons and armor, since this will greatly improve the strength.
You should imagine parts you place as being hollow and that the slider determains the thickness of the walls of the hollow part.
So to get the physical thickness of your part, you should multiply the slider number by two, it will then also be correct with the scaling value.
(A 0.1 scale box will be 10mm thick, the slider will go to a max of 5mm and and the part will then be solid and maximum strength)
There will likely be bots that need fixing, but most weld issues can be fixed by putting an axle through the hinge/chain/belt and the root component.
Just make sure everything is touching physically; parts cant float in midair in the real world either (unless some substances are used. Probably.)

Please report any issues with getting things to weld in #rr2-support and things that seem to actually be bugged in #Bugreports and #Bugchatter
Have fun playing, idlove to hear what you thing of this new build!

This is my job here now.

New bleeding edge: JAN19!
Today we bring ARM DAMAGE and ENERGY DISSIPATION!

Arm damage: how does it work?
Anything that is not classed as a wheel or spinner and that has a tip speed of more than 0,6 m/s will become an arm capable of doing damage.
The arm does damage based on the kinetic energy it stores at the moment of impact. Kinetic energy is generated by the moment of inertia and speed of the arm.
The damage done is altered by how direct the hit is, how much the material being hit flexes and by what part is doing the impact: Maximum damage will be delivered at the outer tip of the arm and only half damage will be done if you are hitting with a point half way the arm!

Hold up, does that mean my flipper can do damage as well?
Yes, although a flipper generally starts its stroke in contact with the opponent and thus has a very slow- or even no impact, so they wont do much damage.
(Unless there is a mile of acceleration distance and the flipper hits the opponent at massive speed... but then it is basically a hammer...)
Energy Dissipation: how does it work?
So, without getting into really heavy physics: think of hitting a really thick piece of hard steel with a hammer: you will never be able to damage it and it just kinda "gongs" your energy away.
This is now simulated in the game! Every weld/component of a certain material can take a certain amount of abuse without breaking and deforming, in physics we call the point the Yield Strength. (point where something breaks off is the Ultimate Tensile Strength)
You need to beat the Yield Strength with your damage in order to do permanent, lasting damage. Materials like AR-Steel and Titanium have a high yield strength but can still take allot of abuse after they have been permanently deformed and thus are very tough.
Materials like rubber are very elastic but instantly break once you cross this elastic point and a material like Carbon fiber has a very high strength and is a bit flexible, but it will instantly crack once you go above the yield strength!

Okay cool physics and all... but how exactly does the game do this?
Every weld has a maximum amount of hit points (~= ultimate tensile strength * overlap * length * thickness^2).
And every weld has a yield threshold (~= yield strength * overlap * length * thickness^2).
The damage needs to be more than the yield threshold, if it is not enough then the weld will dissipate the damage away and no damage is done.
If the damage IS more than the yield treshold, then all the damage that goes over the yield will take hit points away!
Repeat until broken!

NOTE: Notice how the hit point equation has thickness^2, if you make something twice as thick, it will be FOUR times as strong!
Changes:
[Added] Allot more material variables to help aid in simulation of flex etc.
[Added] Hammer damage! or as I call it "arm damage", swing something at your opponent and it will now do damage! atm it doesnt really care about the hammer head shape (pointy, blunt etc.), but that will come! IMO they are still a bit too clippy, i have some ideas reduce this.
[Added] Energy dissipation! You need to beat a certain energy threshold before you can damage a component/weld. This fixes wheels being broken very easily by spinners AND in the test box AND it much improves the strength of the Tires and Rims, and makes spinners (or in general very thick materials) stronger.
[Change] Switched collision detection of arms to a different option to hopefully reduce clipping and jitter
[Change] Upped the Default Contact Offset from 0.0001 to 0.001, this greatly reduces clipping but might result in slightly different collision interactions (a spinner suddenly slightly hitting the ground)
[Change] Switched collision detection of spinners to a different option to reduce sniping
[Change] CDC can no longer be enabled on chassis components (this caused groaties)
[Change] Enabled the rotation part of Arena damage again.
[Bugfix] Test area props now have correct masses
[Bugfix] Below 100a, the ESC amp limit will round to 1 instead of 10, to make the small ESC,s usable again!
[Bugfix] Fixed all calculations around hinged groups (it was bad...)

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

New Bleeding Edge: JAN30!

Changes:
[Added] 2 additional LEM sizes: 170, 200! The 170 likes about 60v and 250/300a, the 200 likes up to 84v and 300/350a, both will do just above 400a for short time
[Change] Changed spinner bite, below a certain bite treshhold spinners are much more likely to grind
[Change] Changed physics stuff around spinners to make them less spastic and hit a little less hard
[Change] Disabled a part of velocityLimiter to not set CCD when something is moving fast. This caused more clipping then it solved
[Change] Stopped velocitylimiter from setting a collisionmode every frame (...?)
[Change] Ever so slightly increased the size of the high speed spinner collider to improve grinding
[Added] Added a slight drag so that spinners spin down (yes this will slightly reduce the maximum spinner speed, deal with it, effect is much worse irl)
[Bugfix] Spawnable crate and additionals are actually 100kg now, also doesnt defy gravity anymore...
[change] Increased the amount of available cameras to 6 (Thank Kris for this)
[Change] Changed a ton of particlesystems to collider with the correct layers, particle FX now look much better
[Change] Improved the look and flow of flamethrowers
[Change] Enabled Speculative collision detection on arm damagers, seems to much reduce clipping, even on pointy tips (only works now because i fixed the velocity limiter thing)
[Bugfix] Fixed a few weird settings on some motors particlesystems
[Bugfix] Fixed a small issue with the collisionmatrix
[Bugfix] LEM's are not scalable...

Enjoy, report bugs and let me know what you think!

You'll note that these links list these as V2 due to a few last minute hotfixes.

[Gulden]

New bleeding edge: FEB24

Important!
Hinged groups (arms, spinners, hammers, flippers) can now be broken off with weld damage.
When there is only one part attached to these hinged groups (= invincible root component) they will be broken off!
Belts and chains now respond to the weld system, when they fall off, add a static axle through the pullies!
We noticed gearboxes often dont show up unwelded and dont fall off, while their wheels/spinners randomly fall off: the gearbox is unwelded and needs to be attached to static frame!
There were A TON of bugs fixed creating this, there might be some more left, yet to be discovered...

Procedurally generated spinner hums are still very WIP, especially at higher frequencies they need some work, let us know what you think and how they could be improved!

The weld highlighting system is still not working correctly, sorry for the inconvenience!

We also went through a big project migration, there might be some unforeseen problems, but as far as we know it all works!

Changelog:
[Added] Tetrahedron, half cylinder, sixth cylinder. Attaching the parts is kinda broken atm, USE THESE AT OWN RISK they are WIP
[Added] Superheavyweight weight class
[Added] Spinner hums! still pretty WIP but getting interesting
[Added] Hardox textured variant, rn its paintable where it shouldnt be
[Added] The mighty TriCAT, as inspired by Pardon My French and Madcatter
[Added] Dual TP100 (Say goodbye to those filthy brushes)
[Added] Added motors locking when the maximum rpm/voltage is exceeded for more than 10 seconds: the motor will start to spark, then lock up and short, generally overheating the motor in the process! VOLTAGE LIMITS MATTER NOW!!!
[Added] Belts and chain collisions! (they now need to be "welded" with a static axle through them) (there might be visual bugs around this still)
[Added] Added logic to welding to break off hinged groups in a correct, weld based manner
[Change] Changed FX in botlab (Hello proper green screen...)
[Change] Changed Motor_Script to destroy a motor once Rotor_Max_Rpm is passed for 10 seconds (limits voltage)
[Change] Slightly upped drive motor torque limiter to let robots push better
[Change] Changed wheelmassratiocontroller to subtract the mass it adds, all robots are now physically the same weight, no matter the amount of wheels
[Change] Changed some texture normalmaps (better looking hardox)
[Change] Changed the bot selection menu to three rows
[Change] Set the electronic disable limit to a more realistic 10 joules (50cm drop). 2j was too little.
[Change] Made the armdamager speed threshold higher (10m/s tip) this might give problems for smaller weight classes but we will see about that
[Change] Made spinner hums a little louder
[Change] Updated all motor stats to have correct max_rotor_rpm and voltage values
[Change] Upped the "Flip robot upside down" strength
[Change] If the root component is the only component left in a group, it will break off (otherwise its invincible)
[Change] Some improvements to SpinnerHum sound (no longer plays on pause)
[Change] Tweaked wheel rpms to make them more stable
[Change] Cleaned up spinnerCollisionHandler, it does not aim for (unused) combined damageable objects anymore
[Bugfix] Fixed some collider errors on several motors

[Bugfix] Both the TP100 and CAT are now inrunner motors as their IRL counterparts(the outside does not spin)
[Bugfix] Arena selection menu is now scrollable
[Bugfix] Fixed wrong tipforce calculation, the other calculations are also likely off
[Bugfix] Reduced sniping of Arm damagers
[Bugfix] Fixed motors being powered while the motor is clearly broken off
[Bugfix] Added logic to not break the game when a hinged group is broken off
[Bugfix] Reordered some damage code so that electronic parts are disabled when they are hit instead of breaking their welds before breaking themselves
[Bugfix] Wheels no longer take damage from the Arena (that took a while...)
[Bugfix] Added AIstate variable back, you guys are going to have to tell me if it works properly...

Mac:  Not working atm, will (hopefully) edit later

Edit:  Still no mac build, however this build is notably buggy.  Death hums have also been really irritating to some people.

[Gulden]

We never did get that Mac version.

New Bleeding edge: MAR5
(Pretty much a FEB24 hotfix)

Changelog:
[Change] modified higher rpm spinner hums, as well as some updated sounds (to make them less annoying)
[Bugfix] Fixed a bug where the chassis would be set to 0kg when a wheel is taken off (chassis spazzing outa here)
[Bugfix] Fixed broken off parts getting flipped in the botlab instead of the bot itself

Known issues:
Highlighting of weld is still not working correctly
Chassis parts stay transparant (this is a bug because of Cloud build being broken, the issue occurs because of me doing a local build)

Edit 3/9:  Mac is finally here.

[kix]

unity was ****y and didnt want to build cloud
now it does, albeit we have to do it manually

[Gulden]

Skipped to April 14th, but will include the patch notes of April 13th as well.

New bleeding edge: APRIL 13
Allot of performance upgrades in this, let me know what improvements you see, enjoy!

Potential issues:
Spinners very "snipey"? doing damage to things they dont really hit?

Changelog:
[Bugfix] Motors will now not randomly spark when not overvolted
[Bugfix] Spinners are now allot less spastic
[Bugfix] Fixed motor "phantom noise" that continued playing after a match was restarted
[Change] Changed spinner damage output: spinners will now do "less" damage to "allot more" things, this likely has some funny effects but we will see (bewerkt)
[Change] Optimised Immobile script for better performance
[Change] Optimised Temperature script for (significantly) better performance
[Change] Optimised Editor COM marker script for better performance
[Change] Disabled component data stream to AIController for a SIGNIFICANT performance increase of all AI scripts
[Change] Added logic to remove all "reverse" meshes and renderers when not in the botlab for a SIGNIFICANT performance increase, especially on high part count robots during fights
[Change] Enabled spinners damaging themselves on static objects
[Change] Rebalanced gyro, drums should now gyro less bad
[Change] Buffed Rubber strength (doesnt really work)
[Change] Upped PSI limit to 2000


New bleeding edge: APRIL 14
Mostly a hotfix for April 13

Changelog:
[Revert] Re-enabled the spinner collision stop timer (so only one component takes damage on a spinner hit)
[Bugfix] Fixed a bug where unwired motors create lag

I come from the future with a new build (It's still April 20th here)

New bleeding edge: APRIL 21
Fixed some ennoying issues in regards to ghost collisions and sniping. And some additional ease of life changes!
Enjoy and let me know what you think and report bugs!

Added logging:
I am not completely sure how this works yet, but the game should now generate a log file with all console entries!
This will be very nice for debugging stuff, especially on Mac!
For bug reports ill now often ask for this file!

The logfiles should be created in the following locations:
(idk why the name is different, I can maybe fix that later)

Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Nerd Island Studios LLC\Robot Rumble 2.0\Player.log


Mac:
~/Library/Logs/Nerd Island Studios LLC/Robot Rumble 2.0/Player.log


Changelog:
[Added] Added code to spinner collision scripts to much better filter "fake" collisions, this massivly improves sniping and ghost collisions!
[Added] Added code to hammer/arm collision scripts to much better filter "fake" collisions, this massivly improves sniping and ghost collisions!
[Change] Disabled "shock damage" since it didnt really make sense and was more ennoying then it was interesting
[Change] Enabled "sweeping" spinners again, spinners will now damage more then one component per collision
[Change] Tweaked spinner damage output to a more reasonable damage output
[Change] Modified some logic to somewhat improve bite on wedgeless verts
[Change] Reworked weld to break the root component off by its health when all welds to it are broken, now you dont need at least two components to prevent things from falling off! (was honestly super ennoying and dumb)
[Change] Enabled player logs (still testing how this works)
[Change] Upped "non weld" connection strength x3 (atm it doesnt make any sense but at least it will make wheels a little less garbage)
[Bugfix] Fixed an error when Combine meshes only had a single mesh to combine
[Bugfix] Fixed a bug that caused hammers/arms to almost never do damage
[Bugfix] Fixed a bug where chains/belts would collide with the simplified group meshes
[Bugfix] Fixed a broken camera reference in bot selection
[BugFix] Fixed and issue where IMPORANT physics numbers would be changed at random, causing differences between botlab and arena fights
[revert] rubber is now correct strength again

IMPORTANT: I tuned to 100% damage again!!

Downloading via mac is complicated, so I'll probably only quote this once.

1. Open terminal
2. Run each of these commands in order
3. Tell terminal to go to your downloads folder where you downloaded the game to cd Downloads
4. Make the game executable chmod +x "RR2_APR14_2022_BLEEDING_EDGE_MAC.app/Contents/MacOS/Robot Rumble 2.0"
5.  Remove the quarantine flag that stops the game from running xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine RR2_APR14_2022_BLEEDING_EDGE_MAC.app/
6. Close terminal and launch the game! :D

Only been half a year.

[Added] Goose MAD TORQ brushless motor, as a slightly smaller outrunner compared to the PP
[Added] Added the spinner impulse slider back. Yall wanted to engage in more dumb hits.
[Added] Options to adjust Rotation, Movement Tracking, and Zoom for Cameras.
[Added] Option to disable Immobility Countouts.
[Added] Option to hide Timer in matches.
[Added] Ability to change countdown and timeout text and sounds.
[Added] New animation trigger that is triggered when the countdown starts. (Intro sequences, anyone?)
[Added] New utility script that allows a GameObject to track a players bot position. If the player slot is empty, the GameObject will disable.
[Added] New utility script that allows a GameObject to rotate to face a players bot. If the player slot is empty, the GameObject will disable.
[Added] New utility scripts that allows a GameObject to track and/or face the midpoint between all bots.
[Added] New sound triggers for Timer, Zone, and Countdown. Now you can have custom sounds play whenever, wherever! (Pit button release klaxon. mayhaps)
[Added] Centre of Mass indicator in BotLab, accesible from the sliding options menu.
[Added] Added functionality to increase the directnesOfHit with high bite distance and increase the impact angle, this makes run-up hits much more satisfying
[Added] Telemetry now highlights red when: a motor current more then the continous current is drawn, when a motors max rpm is exceeded and when it overheats!
[Added] Added a blow out effect on gas tanks when they are hit
[Added] Small boi flamethrower for beetles
[Added] Tungsten Carbide material! Tungsten carbides in a Cobalt matrix to be very exact: super heavy, super hard, super brittle!
[Added] Magnesium Alloy! Not entirly the stuff that wants to explode in water: its like lightweight Aluminium, but a little less strong.
[Added] S7 Steel! The famed, the infamous, the wanted, the controversial: Hardened till 54 Rockwell C, as holied by Ray Billings: harder then AR/Hardox, but more brittle.
[Added] TPU! the new surge in lower weightclasses: 3D printed TPU 95A, very flexible and wear resistant, minorly grippy.
[Added] Carbonfiber Nylon/NylonX! Some call it black aluminium...! Perhaps in toughness, but the strongest plastic available!
[Added] Polyurethane Rubber! For those who like casting their own tires! Extremely grippy, but slightly less reliable as classic rubber!
[Added] PLA! The absolute giant of 3D printing, a surprisingly high tensile strength... but we know what happens when it is hit...
[Added] Different looks for each material, if peoples have opinions about these please let me know!
[Added] BroccSC 200A HV! this boi going up to 50v
[Added] Nine new PrimalPower outrunners! Ranging from 370W to 3770W they provide allot of spin for Beetles, Feathers and anything in between!

[Change] Twitter icon to X (blegh)
[Change] Enabled incremental garbage collection, which spreads garbage collection accross several frames, reducing frame spikes
[Change] Nerfed the 300A brushless ESC to 500A peak, its 1000A limit made the Veggmaster obsolute
[Change] Moved Countouts Visible option to Battle Select Screen instead of Settings.
[Change] Match Time, Timer Visibility, Countouts Active, and Countout Visibility now save their state between sessions.
[Change] Complete rewrite of Camera Controller.
[Change] Trigger Zones can now have a delay before they become triggerable.
[Change] Made the Press Start to Begin "button" fit in with the rest of the battle UI.
[Change] Tweaked some logic to improve bite for overhang/exposed weapons
[Change] Sligthly increased the bite of the losing weapon in a spinner to spinner collisions to improve horizontal vs vertical hits
[Change] Blueprint material is now a physicial material that welds and has collisions. its as strong as cardboard and as heavy as aluminium
[Change] Reworked ALL motor smoke particle systems to be less obnoxious, glitchy and more subtle and make them derive from one source
[Change] Reworked ALL ESC and CO particle systems to be less obnoxious, glitchy and more subtle and make them derive from one source
[Change] Reworked ALL Battery particle systems to be less obnoxious, glitchy and more subtle and make them derive from one source
[Change] Changed all component particle systems to the new versions (this was so much more work then expected lmao)
[Change] Reworked the spark effects from spinners to let sparks fly faster and further, makes spinners look more impressive on glancing hits
[Change] Renamed several materials to be more technically specific or more generic (Hardox is now AR500, Titanium is now Titanium Gr. 5, Steel is Mild Steel etc.)
[Change] Reordered the material list: low tier/weaker/lightweight materials working up to exotic/heavy/strong materials and ending with the "specials"
[Change] Minor changes to some material stats: in the back im adding more functionality for said stats, these will come slowly in play!
[Change] Once again a new take on the spinner system using unity's animation curves to tune bite which comes with benefits: very precise control of bite response and much faster to calculate then intricate calculations
[Change] Rebalanced bite with the new curve control: more grinding and less spasm at very low engagement speeds, much better bite for mid range bite and reach weapons, less likely haymakers
[Change] Spark effect speeds are now tied to weapon tip speed
[Change] Fixed stats on many BroccSC's since I had some wrong weights (several became a little lighter!)
[Change] Increased flat spinner impulse efficiency to reduce the amount of "slacking" hits, this should improve the bite balance between bars and discs as well
[Change] Reduced the maximum impulse cap to reduce the impulse of gigantic spinner impacts to 6 times the robot mass (was 7.5)
[Change] Tweaked some impulse modifiers to make better spinners impacts with the arena and glancing impacts

[Bugfix] Dual CAT x1020 collider is now correct
[Bugfix] The build text works again!
[Bugfix] Broken Parts now properly despawn in BotLab on Bot Reset or when leaving a Test Area.
[Bugfix] Weird jump when switching cameras.
[Bugfix] Black cylinders missing from left and right gears in Main Menu.
[Bugfix] Animation Trigger Zones and Timers not working in game.
[Bugfix] Arena Previews not loading in Arena Select screen.
[Bugfix] Fixed some impact reduction values being applied twice causing an excessive reduction of spinner impulse compared to the damage output
[Bugfix] Fixed another bug in spinner vs arena hits, now they are pretty good
[Bugfix] Fixed material names in spinner scripts so that correct spark effects are triggered

[Buff] Upped Motenergy to 500a Cont, which is more then its irl rating but should hopefully make it last for an entire fight with a solenoid
[Changed] New Manipulation Gizmos in BotLab (What's that? You wanted to be able to see the object you're manipulating?)
[Bugfix] Fixed NPC T64 designed voltage to be 24v
[Bugfix] CoM indicator not indicating CoM
[Bugfix] Fixed camera smoothing not working properly in match

This was a rather fast update.  I appreciate it.

[Added] Hobbyweight weightclass at 5.4kg/12lbs
[Added] The well known sizes of pneumatic tanks as always in game, but with their correct physical volumes and weight! Smaller, lighter, more powerful! 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 4.0 liters!
[Added] Prototype for damage decals, currently commented out in spinnerCollisionHandler (this is not active yet)

[Change] Recalculated all weights from the pneumatic cylinders, they all got lighter! (except for the straight cylinder HAHAHA)
[Change] Corrected all stats for pneumatic cylinders, they all have correct diameters now.
[Change] Camera now has a deadzone before moving
[Change] Camera now tracks bots origin instead of Bounds (should fix the headache inducing jittering with HUGE likes)
[Change] Changed existing pneumatic storage AND buffer tanks to stay the same volume but with higher capacity and less weight! They are perfectly inline with the new tanks but allow full backwards compatibility. Old bots stay the same physically but get more capacity! 1.2 1.8 2.6 5.5 liters!
[Change] Pneumatic storage tanks had their pressure increased from 3000 to 4500 PSI, inline with comercial high pressure vessels used in combat robots.
[Bugfix] BrocSC 200A HV no longer scalable
[Bugfix] Fixed telemetry and AI aditor being able to be active at the same time
[Bugfix] Fixed spinner components not having their collision restored once broken off
[Bugfix] Belts are now properly removed when their parent motor is destroyed
[Bugfix] Broken off motors now behave properly when broken off and no longer have their axles rotate with the original bot
[Bugfix] All high speed spinner colliders and spinners scripts are now properly removed when a spinner is broken off, removing ghost spinners and a whole bunch of glitchy side effects
[Bugfix] Fixed spinner destroy spinners colliders being called from the wrong script, preventing them from being destroyed every frame
[Bugfix] Removed the "reverse" mesh from initiated bot parts, this should give a massive performance increase to loading/decimating/simplifying/rendering and combining meshes since everything was done twice per part!
[Bugfix] Fixed a UI issue where double pneumatics displayed only half their volume
