  • 32 entrants, including myself and The Ounce
  • The bots will be rebuilt to heavyweight class, no matter what they were first
  • The tournament will be in DSL 2.1.
  • Realistic rules apply
  • Multibots are allowed, but I'd rather I didn't have them. Total weight adds up to 800kg, and no single bot can be more than 425kg.
  • Deathmatches to get final 2.
  • Twiiisted Arenas, like last time.
  • 3 minute matches.
  • Matches will be best out of 3, and I won't film a third match unless
  • Double elimination, and there is a losers bracket.
  • No BFE, AAM or ZeroG. Bot File armour c wil be enforced.
  • All glitches allowed provided they stay realistic.
  • 32 people must register their interest by the end of next week, or the remaining spots will be taken by byes
  • I will provide byes if entrants don't turn up with bots.
  • Bots can be upgraded twice after being submitted, but only before the deadline, unless something special crops up (Like the incedent with Doomkiller last BTTB)
  • 1 free havok restart each round, a forefit on second explosion.
  • No Skirt hinge armour or wedges. Typhoon flag underground wedges are also forbidden.

These are the rules, They cannot change.

Post by: NFX on June 19, 2010, 12:00:00 PM
I might give this a try, despite the fact my DSL standards really aren't up to the same standard as people like Nar or Pwn or people like that. =P

I had half a mind a while back to not let you in for letting me down over BTTB 1, but I'm not that cruel. You're in.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: Jack Daniels on June 19, 2010, 12:05:24 PM
I am in.  Showcase shows first bot as being 13th Warrior (though it was later renamed to Lament Configuration for Joe's tourney)
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: G.K. on June 19, 2010, 12:06:08 PM
The 1st bot to be downsized for BTTB, nice.

(hopefully I won't get Joe)

LOL thats why I entered.. I want to see someone have to make a 2x2 cubic, bear claw rammer :P
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: Badnik96 on June 19, 2010, 12:10:46 PM
I mean I COULD do it, but it would be hard...
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: G.K. on June 19, 2010, 12:11:04 PM
It won't have to be 2x2, it's not a cloning tourney. But it will be a cube bear claw rammer.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups

Post by: Pwnator on June 19, 2010, 09:31:02 PM
I'm in!

I'm not quite sure which bot of mine should be rebuilt, though. Grey Matter was techincally showcased first in the CC1 splash, but Flight Instructor was the first bot in my showcase.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: G.K. on June 20, 2010, 12:53:58 AM
It's showcased, so Flight Instructor.

Thanks all 3 of you.

Just so you know, my first showcased bot was Bishop, a SHW vs with 6 razors :P

Post by: Doomkiller on June 20, 2010, 06:00:13 AM
Interesting fact

Bishop used cheat Razor tips that I had modded to do about 50000 point of damage in one hit and have OVER 9000 hitpoints

Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: Naryar on June 20, 2010, 06:14:09 AM
Haha... you did knew about text file editing ??

You could still send a custom razor tip (but balanced at 60000 efficiency) to GK and the guy that will rebuild it for lulz :P

I wouldn't mind... it'd be an awful recreation but it could be fun making :P

Personally I really want R0B0's ROB replica XD It's got scope! :P
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups

Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: Gazea2 on June 22, 2010, 01:43:10 PM
I'm guessing that was sarcastic? I think it was because I was editing components and trying to make some of them bigger. I deleted the files and it worked again.

OK, here's the draw:


The first round byes will be issued to the builders who rank the highest in the (Currently unreleased) BTTB rankings. They are, in order, Doomkiller, Somebody, Ounce, Sage and Naryar. The byes will be randomised for round 1 of the losers bracket. You have 2 weeks to build your bots. Good luck everyone!

You went into the losers bracket early, so won lots of battles there, and didn't go out for ages. And you were only beaten in the battles where you were knocked out.

Here's a hint Sparkles. Use perms for Drums. They have two sides, so you can mount drums on either side. A small perm mounted at the lowest height can just fit a small drum with the smallest beater bars, which is quite powerful and excellent at ripping up wedges. I used one on Maximus actually.

You must make a HW popup. A true popup will not be accepted.
I'd rather it stays a regular popup.
Starting to dislike true popups as well are we?

Well, I had my entry built yesterday, but I'm having AIing problems.  I tried giving it THZ.py, but it won't swing its hammer when the opponent's in the smartzone.  I thought I had AIed it wrong until I noticed the recent posts in the BTTB 1 thread.  If I did everything right then the problem is most likely that the hammer is too heavy. 

I'll see if I can work out the problems and then I'll send it to you G.K..

Post by: G.K. on June 26, 2010, 04:56:18 PM
I could never dislike true popups. I <3 75.5 too much. But I want NFX's bot to stay closer to the original, which was a popup. As for the bot, that's fine. Send it whenever you're ready.

There may be more, depending on who doesn't enter. The following people are in line for a bye if no-one else enters:

Pwn, Powerrave, NFX, Jonzu and me

You are ranked 9th. At this stage, Gazea, 090901, Sage and Picnic haven't got bots in, so byes go to the next 4 builders after the ones who got them. But that is next 5, as Sage was already one. The next 5 are 090901, Pwn, Gazea, you and Jonzu, but as 090901 and Gazea are on the list, their byes shift to NFX and me. I do expect Sage and Picnic to get bots in though.

You know what, I've changed my mind.

The new deadline is the end of today, so the best part of 24 hours. Sage, Gazea, make sure your bots get in. When I see Picnic today, I'll get him to get his in.
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 10, 2010, 01:38:32 AM
Since Sage has showcased his bot that he should be using, and he's not online right now, you allow him to send that bot in his showcase as soon as he can. Technically, he does have his bot built before the deadline, and you know what it is. It would be a shame if he had to miss out on this tourney after building for it.
 
EDIT: it seems that you're reading my mind xD
Title: Re: BTTB 2 - Signups
Post by: G.K. on July 10, 2010, 01:39:39 AM

i have a guess on what he is doing. he's chickening out. as if he would have the worst bot, it's a SS. it can easily be worse, like that think i had to rebuild, or even better, a car (no offence intended to those who make cars in RA2).

Oh hai thar. :P
sup dude.

TBH Picnic got so captivated by Spore yesterday that I don't think he'll care much any more. i need to think.
can i please torture him?

No, I can't let you do that. I think i've decided to press on without him. He knew when the deadline was anyway, and didn't supposedly send anything till after I extended the deadline. He's not replied to any of my emails or my phone call, so I think his interests are elsewhere.

I'm not spamming. If you've ever played Lylat Wars (Or Starfox 64 as it's known in America), you should get it.

I agree with GK. Keep this tourney out of the fire and into the awesome.

Yes! I got Picnic on the phone! It turns out he sent it to heckoher@rocketmail.com instead of any of my actual e-mail addresses, which I'm not posting here in case spambots pick them up. He's going to send his bot in a few hours. Expect the splash and brackets after the world cup final.

I'm estimating either Round 2, or if in the loser's bracket, hopefully the Semis.

I'm kinda thinking the same, tbh. Possibly last 8 in the main bracket. I'm actually quite confident about my wedges.

Your so lucky....here we can only watch the World Cup in Spanish :\. Well I'm expecting a fun tournament since a remake of my first bot is here.

I'm kinda glad its over, tbh. I was getting kinda sick of hearing about it every 12 seconds.

Hmm......I'm not sure. would be fun if we knew who we were fighting, but didn't know what their bots were like...

That's a shame. =[ Any particular reason why?

He couldn't send his bot, because he keeps being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I will garuntee him a place in the rumble if he sends it later though.

Ah, that sucks. So life got in the way, basically...ah well, I'm sure we'll see him in the rumble at some point.

That's a shame about Picnic. Looking forward to the brackets, though.
