Title: Blades of Glory: Signups (CLOSED)
Post by: Elementos on July 29, 2013, 07:22:57 PM

SIGNUPS CLOSED

Hey guys, seeming as I've finally got some free time to come back onto the forums and stuff, just thought of an interesting idea for a tournament, and I hope that you will find it interesting too.
 
- This tournament will be called "Blades of Glory" and unsurprisingly;
 
 will be held in the DSL Blade Arena with hazards on. I have reskinned this to add a bit of pinache.

- 3 minute time limit

- It will be DSL 2.1 STANDARD REALISTIC (and only components from dsl 2.1 are allowed, not other component packs or AI parts)

-Weightclass MW

-Can be any type of weapon
(As long as it doesn't break standard realistic rules)
 
-No Clusterbots allowed (Sorry! Just can't have clusters in 4 way melees XD)

- No Cheatbot2, AI parts, Narmour, BFE, AAM, Thyrus Glitch, ZeroG, Text Editing or any other out-of-game modification are allowed, but if you want a specific line of code in the bindings, as long as it isn't ridiculous, I will allow it. NO GLITCHED PARTS ALLOWED.

-16 entrants and no wildcard

-If your bot havoks, there will be a restart. (unless the havok is minor and doesn't really affect the battle too much) If your bot havoks 2 times during the tournament, however, it will be disqualified, and randomly replaced (if necessary) with another bot, or the other competitor (if in single deathmatch at the time) will automatically qualify. If this does happen to your bots, I am more than happy to post video evidence of the havoking, if you want me to. If I do have to pick a random robot, I will use a program called "Name Generator" online to determine the robot. (I will also include videos of this result if this happens.)

-Once your bot is sent, you will not be allowed to modify it in any way, so be sure to be completely finished before sending them. Also note that your bot cannot be entered until I have received and accepted it. I will signify if there is a problem with your bot and will give you the chance to try and edit the bot as long as I receive it fairly quickly. I will be accepting sign-ups for about 3 weeks minimum after this thread goes into sign-ups, if not all entries are filled by then, I will extend it by another two weeks and start to allow multi-entries.   

-I WILL be competing, though I probably don't stand a chance, with "The Iceman"

-There probably will not be a big prize, unfortunately, but the winner of this will be eligible for two entries into my next tournament (so they have a better chance of winning it). As I won't allow multi-entries from anyone in my next one except the winner of this here tournament.   

-I will be recording battles using camstudio (or simular programs dependant on if Camstudio wants to work with me or not :D)

-My AIing is limited, so I would prefer that you AI your bots yourself, but if you REALLY cannot AI then I can for you.

-Here's the interesting part:

-Wins and losses are scored with points. these points are determined by the way a bot wins:

-Loss: 1 point

-Draw (which I don't expect happening): 2 points

-Win by Judges: 3 points - (I will be Judging Based on Style, Control, Damage, Aggression (Cliché) and use of the blade)
*NOTE - My buddy senstro has volunteered to judge as well, so that it is fair.

-Win by immobilisation: 4 points

-Win by OOTA: 4 points

-Win by destroying of control board: 5 points

-Wins involving the blade in the center adds 2 points to your win score. For example, if a bot pushes another into the blade and destroys it, it will be awarded 7 points (5 for destruction + 2 for blades = 7)

-There will be 4 groups of 4 (each robot shall face one another in a group), and the two highest scoring bots from each will progress. (In the event of a tie there will be a playoff) The lowest scoring bots (and third highest) are eliminated. The 8 winners (from the group stages) will compete in two 4 way melees,  the top two of both go through. Those 4 shall compete in a 4 way melee, the two losers compete against each other in a 2 way melee, (likewise the winners). The loser of the loser's melee is placed 4th. The winner of the losers' melee goes through to face the loser of the winners' melee. Whoever wins is placed 2nd, whoever loses is 3rd. The winner of the winner's melee is placed 1st and is the champion.

I know it sounds complicated, but to help you grasp the concept, it is similar to Alphasims "All or nothing bot wars", but with group and knockout, rather than just knockout. I think it will be quite unpredictable with the scoring system, and I just wanted to know if anyone thought this is a good idea and may want to sign up if it gets to that stage.

Okay for clarification, it will be DSL Realistic and I wont be entering.

Post by: Elementos on August 03, 2013, 02:13:52 AM
Just in case;

If all 16 entrant spots aren't filled if this gets to signups, I will allow double entrants. Also, I'm thinking that the winner or "Champion" of this tournament will probably get automatic qualification in a later tournament that I make, (any one that they want to participate in). 

Another possible award is the arena. (If I decide to reskin the Blade arena and use it instead of the regular one, just to spice it up)

>inb4 this is full of crawlers or other gay things such as TRFBD's or giant flail SnS

Rules look good. But since all the newfags are gonna ask "IRL or standard" without actually looking at the rules, I suggest you clearly state that this is DSL standard instead of IRL.

Green ticked. Good luck.

i'm actually wondering how many regular builders have the amount of skill cloning prowess to even build a TRFBD/flail SNS/other mass of spinning flails anymore. personally, i am going to enter either a VS, HS, or some cool hybrid.
Title: Re: New Tournament Idea: Blades of Glory - Discussion
Post by: Elementos on November 23, 2013, 04:19:00 PM
So, I have changed some of the rules (Not major ones don't worry).

You can read them above but to summarize;

1) Change of arena - Camera angles in the DSL Tournament Arena are dreadful for recording.
2) I'm now Judging - Points can be a bit unfair if one bot has more points but the other dominated the match
3) Update on my bot - yep, hardly any progress.

Sound Good?
Let me know.

Why don't you just use the F10 camera.
Title: Re: New Tournament Idea: Blades of Glory - Discussion
Post by: Elementos on November 23, 2013, 04:31:17 PM
Why don't you just use the F10 camera.
Because it's awful. Too low down for my liking. Also the other arena has walls rather than silly concave things.
Title: Re: New Tournament Idea: Blades of Glory - Discussion
Post by: helloface on November 23, 2013, 04:35:40 PM
You're obviously not using it right. You are supposed to drag the camera.
Title: Re: New Tournament Idea: Blades of Glory - Discussion
Post by: Elementos on November 23, 2013, 05:37:10 PM
I beg your pardon. I thought that that view was the same as the F2 view, just discovered you can actually relocate this one.  :facepalm:

Post by: Elementos on December 19, 2013, 01:09:01 PM
Just a little update;

So, yesterday I got a message from Craaig basically saying that with how the new rules are at the moment (I'm guessing these may be subject to change) that as at least half of the number of entries are required to have voted yes in the poll for this to continue on to sign-ups. With Nine people having said yes, it is basically confirmed that this can move on (when I'm ready to).

I still need to do a couple of things - mainly creating a splash for my entry so I can post it - and then this should be well on its way to sign-ups. For those of you wondering, I will be entering a reskinned, more efficient, better armoured version of J MC - GREGORY (see my showcase for a brief idea) called The Iceman, which I will post ASAP.

This being complemented by the arena, (DSL Blade Arena) which I have reskinned now as the "Blades of Glory Arena", with the strapline "This arena is as Icy cold as Steel Blades." - This is all getting into the "Festive spirit" of Christmas and winter xD.

Phew, now that's done, I would just like to say thanks to the people that voted and are interested in this, and let's hope this doesn't crash and burn like last time :D

Why don't you just try and make a standard bot? We never get standard tournaments these days.
Also you're more likely to do well and you won't be taking the easy way out. You'd be entering an IRL bot just so you have an excuse to say 'oh well I knew I'd lose'. Why not actually try?

Also for those who dont understand: Group stages. Scoring is : Loss:1 Draw: 2 Win by judge:3 Win by immobilisation or oota: 4 And just annihalating is 5. If you win while getting involved with the blade, two extra points. So a oota with the blade means 6 points. Very nice system.

Update: Both Avalanche's "Scratch N Sniff the Second" (Curse you making me have to type that many letters  :mad1: ) and Paranoia's "Haywire Fairground" are Accepted and AI'd, and work lovely. 

Keep those entries coming guys! At this rate all slots should be filled fairly sharpish, and this gives me a perfect amount of time to AI in-between each entry.  :smile:

Just been practicing against some bots. Admittedly i think it is Realistic AI so not the best example. But I do think i can hold my own. I think i will go make a showcase again. Good luck to all. And also, watch out for pushers and rammers. They can really come into there own here.

Hold on a second.

Is DSL-Standard-Realistic = IRL or is it DSL Standard aka trfbd/crawler/SnS and that extent?

I see 2 bots on this list that for all intents and purposes I'm going to call IRL because I'd consider them more IRL than DSL-S soooo

Every entry so far is a rammer or spinner, i'm still waiting for that one awkward person to enter a flipper that miraculously wins the tourney.


Id love to do so, but I feel like I need to slightly branch out from the usual flipper.


Next time though... I will send out a flipper if scratch and sniff fails. Again.

See I would've entered a flipper but I didn't expect it to do very well, but now, seeing the entries, it could have done OK.

Update: GarvinTheGreat's "The Riddler" is accepted and AI'd. Works well, I think I got the smartzone placement very well if I do say so myself.

Also, FINALLY, A FLIPPER! Rarg.

Yeah, sorry just haven't updated the list. I've been busy for the last couple of days, now getting back to AIing etc.

Update: (been a long time)

"Silver Shark", "fRICK" and "Cutting Wedge IV" all accepted and AI'd.

Craaig, your bot crashes my game. I don't exactly know why, but it crashes when trying to test it in the test arena or when in exhibition mode. I'm guessing because of the chassis size, but I can't get it to work.

Will probably have time to build something this evening.

To get it to work turn your graphics to high. Use any bots for an exhibition match. When finished set your graphics to low then quit imedatly. start the game up DO NOT change your graphics then the bot should work.

Nada. Didn't work.

Just turning graphics to low (it makes no difference as such) when you load up the game should fix it :)

Okay, so just a quick update;

1. martymidget's "Skidoosh" is accepted and AI'd.
2. Lemonism's "Pathogen V2" is accepted, just waiting on the bindings line you have.
3. Although all the spots are filled at the moment, sign-ups aren't closed. Craaig's bot is working now, so that is now accepted and AI'd, (and looks very mean), but as TDB Devastator wants to upgrade his bot, and sign-ups are on a first come first serve basis, unless you want to keep the bot how it is now, you need to get that update in by the 14th or your spot will be open to another bot. I know it sounds harsh, but that's just how it is at the moment.

Hopefully I will be able to start recording straight away as soon as sign-ups officially closes, and I should finish the splashes by then also. Thanks for supporting this guys, and let's hope it's a good one.  :thumbup :thumbup

Okay, just waiting on Lemonism now, once their bot is AI'd, then sign-ups will be closed.

Sent the bindings. Maybe not perfect, but if it's only me you're waiting on I reckon it's better to get things going.

Post by: Elementos on January 07, 2014, 07:23:09 PM
Okay guys, as I now have Lemonism's bindings and Excelsior's Updated version is now running, all spots have been filled, therefore;

SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED

I'm now in a position in which i am fairly confident to say that this will be a great tournament, I should have the splashes and brackets done by the end of the week, and after that I will be uploading videos moderately quickly, (dependent on if I have unexpected problems).

Okay Everyone! I am just about to put up the SBV topic for the tournament, as I finished the splashes etc before I expected to. (Probably because I finally got off my ass and started doing something but oh well XD)
