Title: AI and Host test
Post by: Nightraven Shade on April 28, 2019, 10:08:24 PM

Just a personal tournament to learn to AI and host in future

Its a 8 bot Single Elimination with a 3rd place playoff  inside RW2017 arena. I will be using my own bots with random seeding and a variety of old and new bots.
I only used 2 of a single type of bot for a bit of variety 2 HS 2 Vert 2 Axe 2 Flipper. I hope you enjoy and feel free to leave any pointers to the AI or anything really, i already know the production value is really basic as i wanted to get it out from start to finish in 2 days.

Cool

Anyway, my opinions:

ArcticStorm: The flippers look weird with how it bend at the burst axle. However, the rest of the bot looks clean, and I like the wedgelets on particular
Chemical Corrosion: Decent Tombclone. I like the tracks, as well as the polycarbonate window for the motor. I also like the weapon support
Crashing Wave: I like the shape of the cutting blades, as well as how the support is done. That decorative plate on the tracks are also neat
Fabulous Scorpion: Clean hammer. I hope it does well like in Mech Madness 2
Helichopper: Clean overhead. The shape is also cool I suppose. Only problem is making the typhoon teeth more integrated with the bar rather than just slapping them on the tips
IceBreaker: Clean hammer. I like the chassis shape again, as well as the use of the colored drum as an axle for the hammer. I also like the hammer handle
Jumping Poison Frog: Looks clean. I like the big wedge, as well as the track on it
Poison Frog 2 Evo: Also clean. I like the drum on it with the colored teeth, as well as big wedge and track like previous bot

yeah the production isnt what i would normally do if was going to have other peoples bots, it was more a crash course for me to learn to AI and host over a 2 day period but im glad you enjoyed the fights the 4th quarter final was pretty good and the final

Sup cool stuff Night!

Some things I'd consider for improvment if you do run a tournament etc.

Transition splashes etc, Plerco addressed this so I wont go any further.

Wide screen, consider getting the wide screen fix for DSL (https://gametechmods.com/forums/downloads/?sa=view;down=323). It'll get rid of the black side bars and allow for a bigger and more fitting resolution, so it doesnt look pixelated.

In options, you can turn off robot status (the boxes in the corner), just makes everything look cleaner.

Keep it up!
