Weight:
Its going to be DSL 2.1 Middleweight, Bots can weigh no more then 398.9kg.
Construction:
Nopart can intersect another part that couldn't have a slot cut in it inreal life. Example: Spinner blade passing through armor plate orchassis=OK.Spinner blade passing through wheel or battery=Not OK.Thereis a small margin of tolerance, though. If a spinner blade just nicks amotor or something, that\'s OK. Basically this rule is just intended tostop burst-enhanced overlapping spinners like you see in stock RA2.
Glitches in the game may be exploited as long as they do not violate the above conditions.
bewary however as you will only get one do over for the whole tournamentif YOUR own robot has a havok that effects the outcome for itself,thereis also one match do over if YOUR bot causes a havok that effects theOPPONENT bot
no AI parts or Cheatbot 2 only what is found in the bot lab of a "clean" DSL 2.1 copy
And all Robots Chassis must be a cube shape of any size, this means a square base, square top and equal height (so the bigger your base the higher your bot)
I will AI any bots that need it but if you do know howto AI please do, any custom .py files are ok as long as they are sentalong with the bindings and only achieve a means of what would benormally possible
Smartzones may be used including customones(so long as you send along the files) however they may only be usedfor the purposes of AIing no other use will be excepted
No BFE or AAM everything must be done inside the bot lab
All Robots Must Show Controlled Movement
Additional Legal Components
PowerPulse Battery - Legal For Somebody, MikeNCR, Condor33, Naryar, SSG, Man Manu,
Deadly Extender - Legal For Clickbeetle, Urjak
Hell's Hammer - Legal For Somebody, MikeNCR, Condor33
Petrol Weapon Motor (compulsory inclusion of a petrol tank) - Legal For Somebody, MikeNCR, Condor33, R1885,
EMC-RT Weapon Motor - Legal For SSG
EMC-RT Drive Motor - Legal For SSG
Multibot/Clusterbot:
Multibots or Clusterbots are allowed if you wish to make one, the rules are
limited to only 2 "parts"
both parts must be in the same weight class (including AW and BW)
both parts combined must not exceed 398kg
the whole robot will be eliminated if 50% of the weight is knocked out
Format:
The arena will be The Clash Cubes Arena (which will be available soon)
The format will be a Championship, with a total of 7 smaller tournaments of 24 (with byes).
you will compete in 2 of the first 4 brackets and gain points for each round win.
after the first 4 brackets the number of robots in contention will be cut down to only 8
there will then be another 2 brackets of 24 (with byes) which each person will compete in 1 each
after those 2 the contenders will be cut again to only 4
then it will be the championship bracket with only the top 16 robots are entered
if you are no longer in contention you still will compete in brackets as a chance to "upset" those fighting for the championship
AI
as said before custom .py's are not an issue otherwise please specify what .py you wish me to use if you are not able to AI yourself (if you can please do)
if you do not know the best AI give me a brief description of what you want it to do and I will work out a suitable one for your needs ;)

Cool. I've been preparing for this, but I can't come up with something decent. I bet I'll be able to make it before the deadline, though. :smile:
-
Only 398? Isn't 398.9 to real limit? :D
Hmmm... I need to build a VS. XD
-
Yay! I've been waiting for this! :-D
I think I can make a decent entry within that time.
-
Only 398? Isn't 398.9 to real limit? :D
I dont know, just make sure it says MW :P
-
I'll send in my entry shortly, just got to make sure the AI is working correctly.
-
Hmmmm.
Some tuning on one of the cubes I have made and I will be ready :)
-
I should be able to build something by the 10th.
-
This sounds good. Hopefully I can improve on FdO's dissapointing CC2.
-
well there is no floor flipper so your entry cant make a graceful "exit" this time :P
-
DP
I just added the list for legal components for those who won prizes
also Urjak you never responded to my pm's at the time and as a result have a prize pick remaining
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2286.0.html
-
I just must find something really good to enter - i was thinking VS right now but still ?
-
statistically they have a good chance,
3 of the 4 final matches in Clash Cubes there has been a VS
the highest placed VS in CC1 was 2nd and in CC2 was 1st
[/random statistics]
-
I'm in.
-
Just sent my entry.
-
I guess ill have to re-make Flat-Line again for this :\
I wish i had the deadly extender >_<
Im in
-
OooH! I remembered that it would be LW? Well no matter, this is much better. I get to use those motors properly as the lighter version with weapon system left me with about 50kgs for drive and batteries on LW(copals + miniwhees), so not quite good trade off there.
Yes that means: Sign me in.
-
This is a perfect oppertunity to test my "Cheap" .py!
-
THis is happening already? Oh god... I better move fast.
-
I HAVE COOL IDEA!
oh im in to just thought of a cool bot
-
I was just about to PM Joeblo when I realised my robot was'nt a cube lol
-
I'm in with a flail SnS thingy-me-bob
-
Flail alert!!1! Kill him Nary!!
-
Entry Sent...
It's yellow...
-
IN
-
I'm in.
Been experimenting with different bot types. Will have something before the deadline though.
Maybe a DotFS* Cube?
*= Dance of the Freaky Circles
-
Just sent my bot in.
-
8 places down
I added a few notes next to some peoples names on the list in post 1
-
Yet again, mine is a flipper ;)
That's all I'm saying....
TeamZog
-
what to do what to do what to do
-
Joe, can enter a different bot? I have no faith in mine anymore.
-
thats fine for now as I am not starting AIing until Epic Showdown is done ;)
-
Ok, I put on some Meat PWNz0rz on it... I HATE NORMALZZ!!!! >:C
(http://i49.tinypic.com/s30dwp.jpg)
-
The Meat PWNz0rz don't Pwn the spinmotor or chain do they? Can't really see at this angle...
-
just got TeamZog's entry
please use the pm service on here as I dont know everyones email addresses, im great but not that great :P
I just went through heaps of users profiles to locate the user who sent me a bot via email lol

Aaahh sorry. My bad. you learn someething new everyday here lol
TeamZog
-
im gonna enter this tourny.
first i gotta make a bot though.
-
Question, Are both the bots and .py files due on the Jan.10?
-
what do you mean both bots ?
if your making a multibot then yes to all
if a .py isnt given in time or any other AI material I will AI for you
-
ok
-
i have no idea how to AI so would you be able to do it for me.
P.S ill send my bot in about 10 mins.
-
AIing will be done for the low, low price of $59.99 Virtual Dollars
I dont know what DK is going to do hehehe (inside joke)
-
I guess you might said this already, but where is the metal ball in the video of the CC arena?
-
was removed by unpopular demand :P
-
^^I blame that on Naryar for being a fanboy of generic tournament formats.
-
Well atleast we got pits in NW, now if Relic can perform a Mr. Claws again.
Speaking of Mr. Claws, this arena has a chance for some bots performing Mr. Claws.
-
only its all 1 on 1 ;)
-
12 entries down now,
everyone gets 1 update on there robot, no more
-
BMMB-C has been entered. What the heck does this mean? You shall probably never know. :P
-

Is it Big Man Makes Bot...... Crap!
TeamZog
-
Is it Big Man Makes Bot...... Crap!
No, but if it was, thank goodness I'm proper short ;D
-
Will send in my killer FS in a while.
It can beat Cube Tank and Gamebreaker. :P
-
dont forget Gamebreaker is a 600kg Clusterbot, on its own they dont fight to well, ;)
at least its not another VS XD
-
I see a lot of people that have joined the forums in the last few months...
I expect to win at least 1 fight...
Also:
BMMB-C has been entered. What the heck does this mean? You shall probably never know. :P
The C stands for Cube. That much I know.

the C might stand for his username too ya know
also,no one will guess the name of my bot lol
-
joe? have you received mine?
-
have you received mine as well.
-
yes to both, just haven't had the time to check them out yet
-
Just a sec, putting the last tweaks onto my Fs, then the ai, then I will send my bot off to you :)
Edit: Sent, enjoy :)
-

You both fail. But my second choice for the C would've been cube.
-
I have 2 qualifying cubes I can send!
Do you want them JB?
-
robots will qualify against the Cube Army
but send them over as they may be used in CCAI 2 if I need to make more teams ;)
-
OK!
-
OMG I ALMOST MIST THIZ!
I will send SnSnS 3 in a little while.
Hmmmmm... Take a wild guess what it is :P
-
A VS Popup Hammerbot without wheels?
-
^ winner ^ :P
-
the same as SnSnSnS 1 except with Tornado wheels and meat tenderizers?
-
A VS Popup Hammerbot without wheels?
I almost ROFL'd
-
Take a wild guess what it is :P
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54787SnSnSmaybe.PNG) ?
-
Nope. That bot could use bigger bars though because if they are bigger, It helps to keep other bots away from the chassis. SnSnS 3 has 4 weapons, but they are large to do what I just said.
-
Maybe I should consider making an SnSnS myself, through I would probably have to work out some technical difficulties for the various changes I want to make to it.
-
My bot uses three ants and works just fine!
-
Scrapped entry, it had instant spinup time but it couldn't defeat a single enemy. And disc placement included BFE. Its on a multiextender, you can barely see it in that angle.
Circle of Doom:
397.6kg
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45428CoD.png)
Do you think this could have got the smallest cube ever award? Its size only about 1.4 on the blueprint grid.
Instead im enetering Crazed Fireman, wont be showing that one.
-
ok 19 bots sent (including seeded number 1)
I added clickbeetle to the list as I know he has his robot close to finished if not already done so I dont want him to miss out
MikeNCR and Condor33 have been added to the list as they were the winners of CC2, there positions will only be held until 3 days before the deadline, no robot then the positions become available for anyone.
dont forget everyone gets one update for there entry ;)
-
I just realised my bot is Haymaker with different weapons.Sh*t.
-
I will get something in, I promise.
-
I am almost ready to send mine in...
-
dont forget everyone gets one update for there entry ;)
Heh... please don't AI my bot... you know you are getting an update from me, though the AI will probably be the same anyways.
-
Hey Joeblo, was wondering whether sending you an AI counts as an update. I was planning to send my bot without an AI just to save me a spot, then get you an AI later on before the due-date. Would this count as an update?
-
I will enter!
(https://gametechmods.com/Pics/SMASH.jpg)
-
this is a joke,right ACAMS?
-
you think it's a joke?
-
umm I meant the pic of the bot.
-
LOL fail.
That's a cube.
-
what? it's a triangle! It's unrealistic too. the bar passes thru the wheels.
-
You should know by now, look at one of the BOTM thread theme: Stock AW, forgot which month.
-
lol,I get it
-
what? it's a triangle! It's unrealistic too. the bar passes thru the wheels.
Are you retarded? it's a bloody cube!
-
Technically, it's a Tetrahedron:
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tetrahedron.gif)
with the top cut off.
-
It's a cube.
-
Very funny even though it's not really.
-

no AI lines and py's don't count as an update, just let me know if you want to do it yourself otherwise I will go ahead and AI it ;)
-
I'm working on my entry...
-
I'll try building something for this; I should be able to get my entry in within the next week or so.
-
Lol just sent my entry. Let's see if anyone gonna get killed by it.
-
I just realised my bot is Haymaker with different weapons.!£%$.
Beep!Censored.
EDIT:DD will kill you in 3 secs....What is the name?

Wow, that's a really good variety actually! :gawe:
-
Wow. People still actually dare to enter SnSes in this arena? XD
-
I could have entered my Rammer, but it was too good for its own good. I almost drove all the way out of Combat Arena by going up the wall! That isnt good if im against wedge bot.
My current entry however managed to beat Backslash from DSL 2.1 AI, that is one of the better MW popups, right?
-
It's a cube.
Umm,Can we fire S32 from this thread?=P
-
Nothing's wrong with stating the obvious. :P
-
Its not a cube.=P
-
It's a joke.=P
-
It's a joke.=P
Captain Obvious has arrived! Yay! XD
-

Not anymore since BBEANS 4- just get NAR AI.
Hell, even most of the NAR AI v1 MW popups are outdated...
-
this game does move bloody fast :P
the original AI are all in monochrome XD
-
Well I just sent my entry in. I think its going to fail hard because while I did my final checkup on it, the wedges glitched into a really bad position, and thus the wedges suck now...
-
Mine too, stupid wedge inconsistency.
-
Mine doesn't have a wedge :)
Then again its an SnS so will fail.
-
i can't come up with anything and times running out so prbly throwing in the towel on this event.
-
Mine is build to fail. It`s more for a laught.
-
I'm not good at DSL wedges (I haven't made a bot yet that can get under Second Sentinel or Scout) but when it wins the wedge battle, the opponent is going to feel it.
-
I made the bot but it has the Robot Arena Curse = Axle glitch of death
I will Rebuild it again.
-
Sent in my bot. Good thing I decided to squeeze in a visit to GTM before Christmas/New Years hits, or I might have missed this!

I like my chances already, now in the AI process :evilsmile: , The SnS's might cause some problems depending on how good they are built and the weapons their using :rolleyes: . What are Whipper's????
-
lol a robot like yours :P
-
lol a robot like yours :P
Thats what Whippers are lol, I think I know who entered the other one, When I used to play Hamatchi I used the bot I entered quite a bit against the people who I played with alot and they seen the destruction of TDV :evilsmile: . I'm gonna have to guess and say Badnik entered the other one ;) . Edit : Where can I find what the arena looks like??? Edit: After Now seeing the arena My confidence went from 100 to 1.5, Dam you moving walls :vista:
-
:eek: 3 places left, 2 more if the CC2 winners dont get their's in by Jan 7
Urjak you also forgot to put the link for your robot in your entry pm :P please resend,
-

I was pretty zoned when senmding that PM.... sorry about that.
-
last 2 positions, and still Naryar, Sage, Pwn and Reier haven't sent anything :confused:
-
the final place is up for grabs :mrgreen:
-
Right i'll build something now.
-
Double post.
Sent... a 25-minute prototypal rush job that is definitely going to see an update :P
What are Whipper's????
Normal SnS. Name comes from Whipper.py that is the original SnS AI.
-
You forgot the 95! :mrgreen:
-
I also only wrote SSG, its just easier that way.. look at the wiki page Naryar made :P
-
But my name is almost same than Badnik96 or Viper89...
-
your name was only Jonzu on MSN ;) I will add the 95 if you really want :P
-
You can put it... But my name in MSN is now Jonzu <3 Dawn
-
well were closed.. kinda
Condor still has until the 7th to send something if not were open again
its a little sad to see Sage not make it.. I am veeery tempted to withdraw myself for him but I kinda wanted to enter my own tournament for once. so I don't know :(
-
Wild card please. I got a new bot. Also what is up with the quickly made entries? I thought that a GOOD bot was made until the last minutes. I'm guessing about 1/2 the bots are failures because they were made so quick.
-
Do you mean people getting in entries very early or just those who spent so little time on them?
Because I've had since JoeBlo announced CC3 will be MW to tweak and perfect my design.
-
Then don't complain if when BBEANS 6 starts and the whole world sends their bots in the first 2 seconds except you.
-
I really didnt want to make a wild card bracket this time
so far You, H@z, Sage and Reier (Previous CC entrants) have all missed out
I did have an idea for the ability to team up but it could result a bit messy
there isnt really a place to Wild Card for thats the thing the last 3 entries all came in not that far apart :confused: as much as I hate to say it, first come first serve it would seem, everybody knew 35 people voted in the poll with only 32 places
-
The solution is entering early a quick build, then take your time to improve and test it and send the refined bot to Joe later :P
-
I didn't really want that as a form of abusing but yes 2 people did that *cough* ^^ *cough* :P
-
Can I at least get Condor's spot if he won't show up?
-
Condor just submitted his entry
the only thing you can do is smile very sweetly at me and I will open up my place to wild card
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52652smile030.jpg)
-
that will more then do it :P
wild card is open to four places with 3 taken up already lol, Im expecting Reier or H@z to take the last
-
Im just the gift that keeps on giving
the first prize is up, it may look familiar ?
it is a replica motor (they exist in real life) and is faster and more powerful then the E-Tek.
don't worry SSG there is more prizes coming so you wont get stuck with nothing :P
-
@JB I think I'm gonna use that 1 and only update on my bot I was playing around with different weapons last night to see is anything works better the the maces. The Iron Spikes makes the spin up time faster(at least it seems like that :smile: ) and it also makes the bot sit taller off the ground making it popup prone and giving it a better defense :evilsmile: . I have a question about the .py sense I'm new to this and never actually did this in a tournment, The FBS2 is the one that caught my intrest the most for my bot I'm just in the phase of trial runs. My question is what do I send you excatly the .py file and bindings????
-
Most tournaments......and the proper way is to have a dead line, and if there are 50,000 entries, then there are 50,000 entries!
If there is 51 entries then there is a way to host the tournament. The community is so small that entries should not be limited, just a time limit and then it is THEIR fault for not getting it done in time.
-
Hope I beat H@z. :P
-
Dude, I totally built my bot, but I didn't send it. You said I had until Jan 10th, and there was no mention of "first come, first serve"...
-
Can I enter in the Wildcard? :D
-
would you guys like to see this tourament ran the same way but with as many entries as we get befroe the 10th ?
it will include bye matches, and no qualfying this time ?
please cast your vote in a poll :mrgreen:

well the poll will only hang around for about 12 hours from this post (I want to be quick so it wont hinder others build time should it expand)

Mine too. I'm probably changing to a VS though. I'll get it in by UK monday at latest.
-
Makes me want to change my entry and get a rammer into this.
-
What is a "flail"? A HS? A Hammer?
-
I have my bets on flail shell spinner.
-
same here lol
-
Joe you forgot that mine is a rammer.
-
Joe, you can forget my update, it failed against my current entry.
-
Update sent. Now i can sit back and relax. Thanks to 123stw for the feedback that made the update worth it.
-
I sent my update too.Now it is not Haymaker with different hammers!YAY!
-
and finally the poll is closed, its go until it blows :P so keep rolling in those entries before the 10th
Joe you forgot that mine is a rammer.
people are quoting stats from a while back, I have had at least 10 more entries since (including updates)
What is a "flail"? A HS? A Hammer?
anything that uses a flail for a weapon with exception to robots that fall into more common categories, a shell spinner would fall into HS, Flail is for robots that swing around longer and lesser flails then a shell spinner (like 123's entry)
Makes me want to change my entry and get a rammer into this.
everyone gets 1 update for the whole tournament :mrgreen:
-
ok a few people have asked me the same question so I will answer here
I am working on making a version of FBS python that will make the robot spin in the center of the arena, once if drifts to far away it will stop run to the center and spin again ;)

Intersting I was having that exact problem with my Ai, My bot doesnt use the tail for control movement Like I thought it would if I was driving manually :frown: . I'm new to AI'ing so I don't know that much. When you finish That AI can you test it on my bot to see if it would work for that bot type, Not moving to the center at the start of the match is the only problem I'm having, Combat with the FBS_2 works perfectly :evilsmile: .

Just to Clarify
Unlimited positions now available
10th is still the deadline
;)
-
omg thank you so much Joe.

Hhmmmmm..... :idea2:
-
your on christmas break arnt you mad ? ;)
-
fixed up post 1
keep those entries rolling in, I would like to see around 40 to reduce byes ;)
-
Joe, did you get my entry? I don't see my name on the list.
-
Yea. And probably a ton of work to do when I get done visiting/hosting too. But it would be nice...
-
Joe, did you get my entry? I don't see my name on the list.
yes I have got it, just havent had the chance to check it out yet. thats the plan today ;)
-
ok with updates flying around I put the name of everyones robot next to there name, please tell me if there are any issues :mrgreen:
-
Nary's bot's name is funny.
-
Joe I sent you my update 2 days ago.Its not SR anymore.
-
Ok. I will fix that up
-
Thanks buddy. :bigsmile:
-
ok now that I am back on an actual computer I have had time to process the updates and new entries
list should be all good now :mrgreen: I will begin AI'ing next year (sounds strange to say it like that :P)
still 11 days to go.. come on guys keep them coming :P
-
mess up #1 for CC3 - I completly overlooked the fact Jonzu's robot wasnt a cube ? :P
lucky its only a small-ish issue, jonzu you now require a new robot or update to the chassis size, this will NOT count as your free 1 update (same as scrap daddy)
-
My bot isn't a cube?...
:P
-
I was actually refering to a new robot that
"will NOT count as your free 1 update"
-
*ragetoon*
-
just so nobody else misses it the rule is now bold in red :P
-
you did get my cluster didnt u?
-
yes, checking it out now :mrgreen:
-
its an EPIC lol
-
ok a few people have asked me the same question so I will answer here
I am working on making a version of FBS python that will make the robot spin in the center of the arena, once if drifts to far away it will stop run to the center and spin again ;)
Intersting I was having that exact problem with my Ai, My bot doesnt use the tail for control movement Like I thought it would if I was driving manually :frown: .

The whats the update with this FBS .py you were talking about???? Should I just forget about it and send you the .py files I have now and the update to my bot?
-
it takes time to put together, time that I have not had latly sorry AIing was planned to start today, starting with those who sent me bindings then I will go accross and AI everything else except the SnS robots untill I have done that python then give everyone the choice
-
Viper has assassianweight?
-
/heavyweight.
Anyways, Joe, did you receive my update?
-
yes I have one from you and Naryar which I need to check out :mrgreen:
Edit: Sage and Haz I can still count on you guys right ?
-

ok, it's really not that big of a deal I had the impression that you had started/ or had it close to done when you posted the info about it. I will send my update of my bot along with my bindings in alittle bit(Just finished watching UFC 108 and bout to take a shower). @S32 I 've had that title for awhile now you are just now seeing it lol?????
-
AI stuff doesnt count as your 1 update so you can always try it out later,
-
AI stuff doesnt count as your 1 update so you can always try it out later,
ok cool, I'm sending my bot update, bindings and FBS_2 files now.
-
ok first post updated... if you sent me an update be sure the correct name in on post 1
Viper your robot lacks controlled movement, there is no way for it to use FBS_2 or the new FBS_3 I am working on without it
you have still got your 1 update to change your robot :mrgreen:
Jonzu, Scrap, need bots, Sage havent forgotten this have you :P you to H@z.
getting 40 entries would work out really well :mrgreen:
-
I think I have a sliiiiiiiiight mod I need to send in. If you've AIed it already, it's the same so no worries.
-
orange = not AI'd
I have been holding off a bit because of updating
plus you get 1 free update :mrgreen:
-
Im in if thats ok I'm working on the bot right now and after school I'll have it in as soon as possible.
-
the more the merrier buddy :mrgreen:
you have until the 10th to submit something, you are given 1 free update/ robot change before the 10th
-
Joe on the entrants list it should be kamikaze cubes its a cluster

Hmmm I don't like the sound of that at all. Well it does have controll movement I just don't know to make the AI use the controls. Is their away to make the AI read the controls off the control board because The front and Back controls on the control board allows it to move forward and back. If you use it manually then your going to know excatly what I'm talking about. I really hope we can figure something out because I really have no idea for a new bot( I got Angel of War which is a cube but that SNS sucks balls) and I really wanted to use this bot because it owns.
-
I played around with it manually and forward and backward just makes the robot sit there slowly shuffling in a circle
its not able to track an opponant if required
-
Hi my bot is uploaded not sure where to bot its uploaded used the componet uploader was that right or is there a another way I should of done it?
-

Shuffling in a circle???? What ever then , you can take my name off of the list.
-
Hi my bot is uploaded not sure where to bot its uploaded used the componet uploader was that right or is there a another way I should of done it?
You should have:
compressed the .bot file with a program like winzip or winrar. The file needs to be in .zip or .rar format.
you then need to upload that compressed file using the "file host" on the left hand side of the Game Tech Mods Main website.
After you upload it with that file host it will give you a address link to where that file is now located. (just highlight the entire line of text in the top box from beginning to end)
You then need to send that address link to Joe via a private message. When he receives that message he will be able to click on that link and download the file for your bot. He will then uncompress it and use it for the tournament.
Hope this helps.
-
Show us a pic, Somebody here may know, viper.
-
Shuffling in a circle???? What ever then , you can take my name off of the list.
your first was ok
this one is a crawler but forward and back only spin the chassis as the robot has nothing to push against to move, it spins in a circle fine but has no possable way to break a count, im not kicking you out of the tourament but your not going to get far with a robot that cant break count is all ;)
you still have your 1 update to play with if not I will enter your original robot as it will work perfectly fine

JoeBlo Did you get the bot? sorry just eager Its my first time doing this sort of thing.

Wait a crawler???? It should be the same as the first except I changed the maces to iron spikes. Is their a tail on the last bot I sent like the first? Edit: I think I know what happen, The tail must of come off some how and I had no idea when I sent it to you. Because from what you describe it sound like it has no tail. If you said the first bot I sent you was ok and it won't be to much of a hassle could you just replace the maces with Iron Spikes because that is the only thing I changed for the update. Sorry JB about the confusion, like a week or 2 ago they came out with this app that allows me to play PS1 in my phone so all I've been doing for the past couple of days is playing Dino Crisis 2 so I've must have over looked that last bot when I sent it to you ;D.
-
ah hah we have found the issue, yes no tail on this one, no problem just get the fixed up one to me when you can :bigsmile:
JoeBlo Did you get the bot? sorry just eager Its my first time doing this sort of thing.
you didnt copy and paste the link the file host page gave you sorry ? no problem just give it another try, once it uploads your rar or zip it will generate a link, make sure you copy/ paste and send that think to me
-

ok sending it now, I took this bot out of my AI and I just did a match to see if had a tail and it did. Let me know if their is a problem with this one to.
-
I just wanna win a match :S
-
i dont really care im just entering fo a laugh :D
-
I will send an update soon.
-
DP
Hey Joe, is it OK to stack Dreadnought Discs horizontally like a drum, since you can cut the dual discs in half and weld them together IRL?
-
im not too sure what you mean ? maybe post a picture ?
-
i dont really care im just entering fo a laugh :D
At first I entrerd to get a victory but after see a pic of potental robot I'm like "ok this is just for some lol's, besides the main part is to have fun not just to win right?
-

You two jokers speak for yourselfs , I'm entering for revenge and only revenge :evilsmile: . May god be with you all because The Devil's Vortex is coming for CC3 haha :dead: .
-
If there's a damn crawler entered in this...
-
If there's a crawler entered in this it will make some extra variety in this already fantastic tournament.
fixed :mrgreen:
-

fixed :mrgreen:
:P
-
I too,are entering for a laugh.
-
If there's a damn crawler entered in this...
Now Nary why would you say that you know I don't make crawlers ;) , Anyways I think the catagory it falls under is Whipper.
-
My entries usually are laughs, so there's no point in me saying I'm entering for a laugh :P
-
im not too sure what you mean ? maybe post a picture ?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80495dreaddiscstackin.PNG)
Like so
-
I think its realistic, SInce you can do that IRL :P
-
im not too sure what you mean ? maybe post a picture ?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80495dreaddiscstackin.PNG)
Like so
yeah I think that would be ok, in real life you wouldnt have 2 saws already stuck on an axle you would be welding all 4 to one axle
-
Scrap Daddy, Jonzu, dont forget those new bots
Temi, Sage and H@z you guys still entering ?
3 days :mrgreen:
-
I'm gonna get something in too!
And no, it won't be a popup :O
-
fantastic, if everyone who says they will enter does
*shakes fist* and they better
it will give the target total of 40 which will reduce byes by a good amount using the format I have planned
:mrgreen:
-
Yay, R0B0's entering!
-
I will send my bot tomorrow or saturday...
same with Temi...
-
Yay, R0B0's entering!
:mad: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

OK I will send my update shortly
-
ok first post updated same as always check if your update is there
Viper yours lacked a name change so I will just tell you yours is all fine now ;)
-
Joeblo My name spellet incorrectly oh and I sent the update veia email. YAAAAAAAA it work finally!!!
-
got the update now ;)
-
ok first post updated same as always check if your update is there
Viper yours lacked a name change so I will just tell you yours is all fine now ;)
Ya I had no intention of changing the name, I'm glad to hear everything is fine with The Devils Vortex :evilsmile: .
-
name change isnt an issue you just wouldnt be able to tell on the first page weather your update was received or not so I just told you :mrgreen:
-
bout time you found out something else your fighting for..
the new prize is now up on the first post :mrgreen:
-
That looks incredible. I think I have a target.
-
Nice work.
-
Somehow looks like the Backlash wheel but cooler.
-
I know :P Its a whole new GMF but I noticed the similarities right after
at least it looks cooler :mrgreen:
-
not sure about this prize (or whether it should be a prize) give me your opinions on this one
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/westcoastdrags/turbine.png)
Im just not to sure on it ? It features more non visible or "behind the scenes" GMF work rather then visual stuff
it does actually add more pressure on your robot like Terrorhurtz IRL. I tested 2 identical robots, with identical weight and the robot carrying the turbine got under the other 90% more
-
I think it looks good for a prize.
-
I was going to ask if you were going to use that for Backlash before i remembered BL is a spinner mod.
(however i am guessing you'll use the wheel for it ?)
As nice as it is, it will be a gamebreaker (Hax :P) with infinite air supply for just 1kg more than the large Puma... not to mention the better wedge... heck, that would make Blade Wave damn awesome.
It might be balanced and more realistic if it drained electricity like a motor, but i highly doubt you can get it to consume electricity since it's base is airtank ?? Or am i wrong.
-
yes the wheel will be in Backlash (maybe slightly changed skin so this one is still exclusive)
yea I know the turbine has major balance issues (why Im asking for thoughts)
the electricity idea is a good one, the air supply wasn't the original idea so it could always be a good trade off changing the base to a motor
bases as far as I know are within the exe which = no access = make do without
the wedge testing was with chassis wedges so I am unsure at this time how it will effect the Hinge < Door Hinge < Burst type food chain
and yes it would make bladewave awesome :mrgreen:
-
more testing
it seems that it only effects same wedges
the black robot carries the turbine
the white robot carries a battle pack to make even weight
test 1 the white robot got under 100% of the time due to having door wedges over the skirt hinge ones
test 2 the black robot got under 2/3 with both robots having the same wedges
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8517testing.PNG)
-
If you make that thing heavy enough and/or big enough, it won't break the game. At 15 kgs and about the size of an air tank, I think it's probably too good. But if you made it, say, 40-50 kgs, or you made it really big (like at least the size of an E-tek) then it could be fair. It will take some experimenting to decide what's too good.
Making it drain power probably isn't enough of a drawback, since A) You don't have to turn it on to make it work, and B) Like any spin motor, it will only drain 100 power, no more no less.
I'm curious what this "behind the scenes" work you mention is all about.
-
Realized I'd not yet posted in this thread. I'm hoping my entry catches people off guard. I went for something a bit off from my normal weapon setups. Also, Joe, is there anything special I need to do to use the components I won in the game? They don't appear to show up normally, nor when I use the modded components.cfz that shows AI parts. Didn't need them for my entry or I'd have asked sooner.
-
@ Click, I know its really difficult, one of those "great ideas" but turns out no so great in the end. behind the scenes.. I played around giving the component artificial gravity to make it have the effect of suctioning to the ground (my original plan for the component)
at this stage I am going to put it in the "incomplete basket" and go with my backup plan which doesnt give robots that much of an advantage
@Mike extract the file and you will get 3 folders each named for the prize component.
inside each of those is the text file and component folder which you must copy into the components folder of your RA2
-
Hey Joeblo, at what point do submissions close? I know its January 10 but what time on that date? What zone are you in?
-
same as BOTM
Midnight, Central Time (so 8am on the 11th for me)
its just easier that way :mrgreen:
-
Well. I forgot about this here tourney thinger... I should probs send in my bot, no?
-
I have posted a reminder for you on each of the last like 3 or 4 pages :P
-
I have a question about your new AI. Does the robot spin to the center of the arena or just drive there, because I think that it could easily get picked off by a fast bot if it just drove there.
-
I have a question about your new AI. Does the robot spin to the center of the arena or just drive there, because I think that it could easily get picked off by a fast bot if it just drove there.
^^^^^ That is a very good question this has been on my mind to, Also is my bot going to be using the FBS 2 or your new FBS?
-
This is relevant to my bot too.
-
I have a question about your new AI. Does the robot spin to the center of the arena or just drive there, because I think that it could easily get picked off by a fast bot if it just drove there.
ok here is the deal...
you have the following options for your SnS
1. FBS_1 (spin at start of match and never stop unless countout)
2. FBS_2 (spin at start of match and never stop unless countout, will later chase the opponent)
3. WhipperPlus (chase opponent and spin when in range)
4. Nary's py (forget the name, made by Naryar lol, robot never stops spinning but at the same time chases the opponant while spinning, a build of Apanx's py ?)
5. Mad's New py (new one Mad is halping me build, the robot will drive to the center of the arena and spin, if the robot drifts away from the center the robot will stop and move back to the center and resume spinning. However, shoudl the opponant be to close to the robot it will not stop spin to move back to the center it wil stead stay spinning to fend off the opponant)
number 5 isnt finished, Mad is generiously giving up his time for it so there is no pressure to get it done
-
Joe, I sent my bot in yesterday but I don't see it on your list. Did you get it and if you have, were there any problems?
-
time zones between us are about 11 to 12 hours difference so yesterday isnt a great indicator :P
I have been really busy with work today sorry (just because im online doesnt mean im at the computer :P)
Im about to check out the 4 (i think) entries I got
:mrgreen:
-
we are now into the 12 hours remaining time.. Scrap hurry :P
ROBO pm sent regarding yours :mrgreen:
-
Woah, for some reason, haven't seen it on any other page, but there's some weird white dots falling. Dunno if it's just me though. Just look at Joe's sig/av or Sage's sig/av for a bit and you'll see them (works better as the top of the page) - they then go through the text below! Whaa? XD
-
Snow!
-
I see it on every page now. Sorry for the spam XD
-
lol yes its all over GTM

I like Nary .Py the most because when the Vortex starts spinning their is NO STOPING IT( I havent seen a robot in it's weight class yet that has.) :evilsmile: , I'm not sure about how well/ or if it would even work for my type of bot yours and MADS .py, I'm worried about it being vunerable if it's not spinning and trying to get to the center arena. Where can I find this Nary.py to test it?
-
Here Vipe: https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/FBSPlus.rar
-
Joeblo, I've sent an update now. Changed name. Different robot. Actually I sent the update 2 days ago so... Can it be changed please?
-
Here Vipe: https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/FBSPlus.rar (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/FBSPlus.rar)
thanks.
-
Here Vipe: https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/FBSPlus.rar (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/FBSPlus.rar)
thanks.
Well after alittle bit of testing their is a slight difference( I guess it's how my bot is :frown: ). @JB If your .py works good with my bot let me know ;)
-
Is it possible for an SnS to get beaten by a Popup/Juggler/Poker/Rammer?
Would those ever reach the chassis?
-
Viper, GK that isnt the py of Naryars (which I might add is rather cool)
FBSInvertDir.py is the one I spoke of, not sure if he has posted on its own yet.
-
Deadline has been and gone
no more updates or entries allowed
AI stuff for the next couple of hours is ok
ROBO has got a little longer to get his bot due to tech problems :mrgreen:
-
Viper, GK that isnt the py of Naryars (which I might add is rather cool)
FBSInvertDir.py is the one I spoke of, not sure if he has posted on its own yet.
lol ok no wonder their wasn't much of a difference. JB can you Pm that py file so I can try it out. @ Linck please tell me your not serious with that question, how long have you been playing this game :ermm: . Thats a LRA2 type question haha :bigsmile: .
-
*Wondering If another revolution of engineering is being made by R0B0*
Heck, a full body drum wouldn't be too bad. (It is fun watching them work now I may add. But they cant turn as well as I hoped.
-
I think I found it. Hopefully it's the right bot so we can get this thing started :O
-
yeah its all good now ROBO
the splash will come out around Mid Day on the 11th Central Time
I wanted to get it out on that date as it marks 1 year of me being on GTM :mrgreen:
-
Haha, cool.
This does mean you can use my bot's full name now Joe.
-
My comp wouldn't let me export my entry. X(
-
sorry hypnodisc 7 but the deadline has now passed
take a look at the technical support thread ROBO made, if you get it to me by the end of today I will allow you entry, :mrgreen:
