Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Naryar on February 13, 2016, 02:19:43 PM: Basically, this tournament is supposed to be oldschool stock a.k.a. Jimxorb stock, BBEANS 1 stock, or Starcore 1-2 level stock. So we nerfed HS and popups, which are the most dominant forces in the metagame.

I wonder if rammers need a nerf ?
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mecha on February 13, 2016, 02:22:02 PM: I'll enter
rammer time
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: 09090901 on February 13, 2016, 02:23:00 PM: pretty sure snapper loading wasn't around till like 07.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Naryar on February 13, 2016, 02:25:06 PM: Uh, then we could just ban snapper loading AND effe and do all our overlapping on servos.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mystic2000 on February 13, 2016, 02:26:38 PM: snapper load is now banned
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: RedAce on February 13, 2016, 02:39:04 PM: I hope you don't mind me asking this, but did you want a logo to go with it? I mean, I guess it doesn't matter much, but it could make this tourney stick out more.

Oh I'm extremely interested in this. Don't worry, I'll come up with something.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mystic2000 on February 13, 2016, 02:42:39 PM: i actually wasn't thinking of giving it a logo, but if you want to make one, then i guess i can't stop you, thanks for the interest by the way
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Thrackerzod on February 13, 2016, 09:04:29 PM: yeah i'll enter

Post by: Silverfish on February 13, 2016, 09:16:09 PM: this ought to be interesting.... i'm in.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mystic2000 on February 16, 2016, 06:59:52 AM: Is there anything i have to do so this can be moved to signups ?
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: RedAce on February 16, 2016, 07:29:01 AM: I think you need a poll with about 8 "yes" votes to move this on.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread

Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mystic2000 on February 16, 2016, 02:11:18 PM: Added poll, gonna add my entry soon
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: yugitom on February 16, 2016, 02:22:22 PM: I don't feel like the question is worded properly. If one were to not want to enter but they believed that people would enter this tournament, they would say 'yes'. That doesn't mean that person is interested in entering, though.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mystic2000 on February 16, 2016, 02:37:56 PM: Modified the poll
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Gauche Suede on February 16, 2016, 05:10:24 PM: Wait, can I make my wedge overlap with the entire chassis ?
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread

Oh okay.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mystic2000 on February 20, 2016, 09:22:37 AM: Added the popup rule Redace had suggested in his showcase
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Naryar on February 20, 2016, 11:26:07 AM: honestly i dont feel the 4 razor rule is gonna limit mw popups a lot, judging that 4 razors on a mw popup is just fine.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on February 20, 2016, 11:45:40 AM: inb4 spin motor popup.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mystic2000 on March 12, 2016, 07:37:43 AM: Oh hey, just checked the poll and it turns out we finally reached 8 yes votes, so maybe this can be moved to signups
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: yugitom on March 12, 2016, 08:16:05 AM: Well, do you want it to or not? I can confirm it can move up to signups, just make it clear you want it to move or send me a pm and I'll move it.
Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Discussion Thread
Post by: Mystic2000 on March 12, 2016, 08:19:26 AM: well that would be nice indeed

This is now a singups topic and the rules quoted cannot change. Have fun, you've got 3 months.

Post by: RedSawn on March 24, 2016, 08:25:28 AM: I had something built but it looks like I've gone too far 'back' now that I've opened up your bot preview. Could enter it anyway, but... aimed for NOOB WARZ more then this.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69388howdis.jpg)

This was supposed to be entered in a different Stock MW tournament, but I entered the wrong version of it. It looks like it'd be better suited in this tournament anyway.

Title: Re: Back to the Roots - Signups
Post by: Mystic2000 on April 01, 2016, 11:13:05 AM: Don't worry, bot updates of any sort are fine, i should have precised that before signups started, ****.. also i'm gonna push the signups up to Monday for any last entrants.

Also Joelu of England, that seems fine to me, but i'll still need the bot file just to be safe, also there is likelihood for you to get steamrolled by the more experienced people who entered this if you enter that bot, i won't stop you, but i'm just warning you

I may just end up sending that robot. I was gonna build something different, something more like what everyone else builds, but I'm struggling to get it to work properly (the thing can't even move, somehow the wheels are off the ground despite being bigger than the motors and taller than the chassis.)

If you have time to build, you have time to AI. AI'ing takes ~2 minutes.

That's fine, however. As long as your robot does not require any complicated AI line (which shouldn't be the case in a tournament like this), Mystic will give you a sufficient AI line.

If you just copy/paste the template AI from my AI pack, then yes.

However it really pays off to try to optimize turnspeed and other bot type-specific parameters, especially for rammers. It takes several test battles to make sure you've got it right.

Post by: Mystic2000 on April 22, 2016, 10:26:01 AM: yeah, first time, and as for splash, at first i would work on it as i recieve entries, but i quickly started to get completely disorganised and the bot updates meant i had to edit existing parts of the splash and all, i suck terribly at being organised, i'm finishing the splash and making a challonge account to generate the brackets

Yeah, sorry about that. Good luck with getting everything together!

Post by: Mystic2000 on April 22, 2016, 12:39:53 PM: No problem really, it's entirely my fault for being unable to handle this, i'm starting to think that there will be no Back to the Roots 2, or any other tourney by me, which is kind of a shame since i had some ideas, but i really have no confidence on my ability to get this done, i made this tourney to not be useless (what is it with me and my obsession of being useful to gtm ?), but if i fail, i betray all the 15 people that have entrusted me to finish this, and if i do it once, i'd rather not do it again.

Post by: Mystic2000 on May 13, 2016, 08:16:12 AM: soooo... after finally trying to stop procrastinating and finishing the splash (kill me you guys), i've noticed after checking for the bot file for an smartzone issue on battledutchman s'bot that he has a custom component in his bot:

Components\Styles\lt_beltdrive4.txt

dunno what is that thing, but it's definitevely not stock, so now i dunno if i should reject his entry and have an empty spot or try to delete manually the component from the botfile

Post by: cephalopod on May 13, 2016, 08:28:48 AM: It'll be a component along the lines of a Perm. Can't remember what it looks like though.
More hassle than it's worth to try and remove and it's not Stock so personally I'd just reject the entry and get someone to throw in an entry quickly, even if it's you with a bye-bot.

I would give him time to update his entry. while he should know what stock is, you probably should have checked his entry back when you received it weeks ago.

This is not an option, I'm afraid. The host cannot alter any of his entrant's bots (unless it's for the gimmick of the tournament.) You accepted his entry to begin with and did not inform him that his robot was illegal. Due to this, I advise you ask him about altering his bot before outright rejecting as you should have rejected it around the time it was sent in and before accepting his entry.

Post by: Mystic2000 on May 13, 2016, 12:16:12 PM: Alright then... he has by monday to update his entry, or else i'll replace it with a byebot of my own....

(i swear this is most likely the last time i'll host a tourney)

Post by: Naryar on May 28, 2016, 05:44:58 PM: That's a pointless bump, but this tournament needs to move forward so it will have that purpose at least.

So what are the news ? Did battledutchman change it's bot, or is it byebot time ?

Post by: Mystic2000 on May 29, 2016, 10:43:51 AM: Update has been recieved, i just need to stop being a little procrastinating bitch and proceed forward (please Yugitom, regardless of whether this tourney will be completed or not, after this, apply to me a permanent ban on hosting tourneys)

I'd never do that :P First off, no-one has ever received a permanent tournament hosting ban. Also, I'm sure you'll have the willpower not to host another tournament if you think you can't stick to deadlines. I wish you the best of luck finishing this tournament in time :)
