Welcome to the discussion thread for Gametechmods's first UHW Tournament! Clash of the Titans!
Not sure how many people are going to enter, so I've added a poll. I am looking for either 16 or 32 entrants.
1.The weight limit is 5000 kgs (Ultraheavyweight)
2.This tournament is for DSL 2.1 ONLY
3.There is a realistic rule
4.Multibots are allowed
5.Fights will be 1 on 1, best of 3, 2 minute Deathmatches.
6.There will be a loser's bracket
7.NO BFE, AAM, Zero-G, Narmor, or Exostacking
8.No flamethrowers, and no more than 4 flails of any kind per robot (per robot means total, so a multibot can only have 4 total).
9.A bot will get one restart per match for havok. If they havok again, they forfeit the battle. Just like BBEANS.
10.The fights will be in the DSL Blade arena, with the hazards on.
Thanks to Trovaner who skinned the arena

Prizes: This arena skin will be awarded as a prize to whoever wins Clash of the Titans. They can choose to distribute it to all competitors, to have me release it, or to keep it for themselves.
Note: JoeBlo, freeziez, and GroudonRobotWars have automatic entry into this if they choose to use it, for entering The Winds of Change.

Call it "Lag Fest"
-
Nope. I got EFIE 2 vs. King SnS on my Youtube channel and had no lag.

"Not quite OVER 9000kg?"
"Lead Festival"
"Who needs antiballast?"
What would be cool is remaking DSL AI bots as UHWs
-
You could call it The Battle of the Gargantuans!
-
oh UHW.. guess I wont be entering your next tourney :(
I will think of names though :gawe:
-
Awww come on Joe! You can build a UHW! Just make it really generic, no matter how much it pains you to do so. :gawe:
-
Did you like my name?
-
Just make it really generic,
NEVERZ!! :P Predator is the most generic I will ever go
I will maybe have a go but I suck at building competitive UHW's especially original ones
-
U.H.W - ultra huge war
clash of the titans (I know it was a movie name or something like that)
How much would you hate me if I entered a flail shell spinner multibot? :P
-
@freeziez: I will not show preference towards names until the final name is chosen.
But I do kinda like it though.
-
clash of the titans (I know it was a movie name or something like that)
Are you thinking of a Crash Bandicoot Game? Lols!
Eh, I might join, but I still need to ge tthe Hang of building robots. I've only made 1 So far, and it's not exactly Impressive, even though It might be Ultraheavyweight, Cant remember Lols.
-
Well then start a showcase this isn't starting just yet! And besides, every tourney needs a newbie bot.
And also, I think that Clash of the Titans is a good name. Unless a better one comes along, I'm going with that.
-
I highly doubt it's UHW unless you used a UHW antiballast and managed to build up to 5000kg XD
But this could be interesting. I may work on something interesting...
-
Sounds interesting.
-
I would enter but my computer can hardly handle a SHW because it's my family's computer. I'll try anyway. :)
-
You could call it The Battle of the Gargantuans!
I swear freeziez I'm going to hurt you.
-
UHW. Can you say LAGFEST?
Well, I can, my comp probably couldn't handle that much components at once.
Nevertheless, I may try giving this a bash.

Just throwing it out there, but I just want everyone to rmember that you can enter multibots, which may be an answer to a high lag computer...
-
Have to figure out what to build
-
I might enter, depends on whether my comp can handle it or not. if it can, then I'll probably enter a SnS or a rammer
-
Bloody heck, the time it's gonna take for me to make Wall Of Spikes Evolution...
-
I've just built Revolution and his pet antweight.
-
Made a fail popup multibot, beat HnM 4 though so I'm happy with it
-
Somebody, you should put up a poll with the name choices so far and see which one we like best!
-
Kinda already got a poll though. Unless there are any objections or better names (and NO BAWWWWING), I am going with Clash of the Titans.
-
thats cool.. I thought of that name also but didn't suggest it becasue I thought I would get the response
"ZOMG ITZ ALREADY A MOVIEZ!!!1!"
:gawe:
-
Hmmm a little intro video at the beginning of each match (like CC1) is popping into my head piece by piece...
-
Well I'd like it one way or another. Could you post it or PM it to me?
-
I might enter this, but im not going to start building yet, as the tournaments runnig is full so this wont be starting in a while.
-
best of 3, 3 minute Deathmatches.
This is almost too long even with LW's. With UHW's... you could be talking over-15-minute fight videos here, without heavy editing.
Also, keep in mind that bots with more components are laggier. So something with a lot of heavy hammers and Overkill wedges and whatnot won't be too bad. Some of 123savethewhales's UHW's, on the other hand, would be VERY laggy. I remember him talking about some flamethrower UHW that was so laggy it crashed the game.
Also, name suggestion: Legendary Awesome Giants (L.A.G.)
-
Thats a good point with the time. Good thing Youtube's limit is now 15 minutes :D
jk
Does anyone have problems with 2 minute matches?
-
I have an idea for this! Might take a while to build though as my computer dislikes anything heavier than a SHW with a passion XD
-
As I said earlier, flamethrowers need to be banned. Do you really want to take 15 minutes to load up a match, a 2 minute match lasting 20, only to find the game crash with 3 seconds left?
I won't mind entering Earth Dragon, it will just be a serious pain on your part.
Believe it or not, UHW Flail SnS produce way less lag than the flamethrowers, as if they aren't bad enough. As much as I want to enter 2 flail SnS multibot, I think Flails need to be banned too.
-
Hmmm maybe not banning but limits help. Maybe like a limit of 4 flamethrowers and 8 flails? (And not per bot if entering a multibot. Total.)
-
Thats a good idea.
Hmm... 4 flamethrowers and 6 flails, 8 flails, or 5 flamethrowers.
-
It's not just how much flamethrowers that you have, but also how many components you are hitting at a time. Just having 5 flamethrowers on both side is bad enough in a UHW match. So flamethrowers need to be banned completely.
Also UHW battle will usually not result in a kill. OOTA, Immobile, and WBP will be the main 3 ways to win. So unless the arena wall is low (then it will just be the battle of the flippers), we will be seeing a lot of flamethrowers if it isn't banned.
-
Its the Blade arena. Seems to fit best with UHWs because it has a pretty good hazard, is gargantuan enough for most UHWs, is OOTAable, and there have been no built-for-UHW arenas made.
Anybody have a problem with no flamethrowers? If not, they will be banned.

Actually, Firebeetle made one for Hammer of Justice.
-
Well thats the infinity arena. It has no OOTA-able parts, which I was trying to include (partly because it is more fair, partly because I am entering EFIE 5 and haven't built an effective UHW besides it.)

Oh, OK. You could use the Small Arena, hazards on. ;)
-
Something about that tells me that it isn't going to work XD
-
Awwwww
-
My purple arena works. It's just low lag arena with modified starting position and camera angle.

:O I forgot to listen to that larrain. I'll listen and tell ya how it sounds ;)
And the only problem with the purple arena is that the walls look to be too high.
-
Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena?
-
Is there a download to it anywhere? I could test it because it might be a good alternative.
-
Ask G.K
-
Erm...
Give me a few minutes....
-
What clash ? We all know 123 will win this.
I will enter if i can get assed to spend 5 hours on an UHW lolz.

Lol I doubt it. We are talking about open arena with flippers, no flamethrowers and almost no flail. SnS won't work in this environment.
-
The green tick has been given. Everybody vote for this when the poll comes up! :D
-
You should allow BFE if the result is realistic because the maxsphere is a bitch.
-
No
-
After my previous comments, and despite the fact that my computer is laggy as heck, I might actually build something for this. If only to see how quickly people can trash it. =D
-
OK Guys! A new bit of news here.
We now have an arena skin, made by Trovaner! Its perfect for the tournament IMO, and it looks great.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95108Trov's DSL Blade Arena.png)
Thank you Trov! It looks great.
-
Cool skin.
I'll try to build a popup or something :P
-
I'm in. :mrgreen:
-
If you manage to destroy Revolution you will never be able to defeat flying kamikaze cube!
-
I might make a shell spinner later today, I dunno.
-
If you manage to destroy Revolution you will never be able to defeat flying kamikaze cube!
Until it flies out of the arena...

A win because the other bot commits suicide is not a real win. An hilarious one yes, but you can't possibly say "i won" after this.
-
I have nothing against a win like this. There were flying fighting bots IRL too.
-
Is motor chaining allowed?
-
Also UHW battle will usually not result in a kill. OOTA, Immobile, and WBP will be the main 3 ways to win.
Good point. Maybe instead of 3 2-minute matches, you could do one 3-minute match? Or possibly even 5 minutes, if you're willing to endure it turning into 10+ minutes for the increased chance of a KO happening.
I briefly thought of entering a BFE multibot consisting of 20 LW's... but the rules probably will not allow that, and it would be a pain to AI. (But it would be worth it to see in action.)

you should make it anyway and put it in your showcase or something
anyway i would love to enter this
*starts dreaming up multibot ideas*
-
@Badnik: Yes
@Click: However much I want to see that, BFE=not allowed
And I really do not know what to do. I can easily see very few KOs happening in 2 minute matches, but I have always hated one fight tournaments because I have always hated the luck factor incorporated.
Basically, I want to find the best bot, but I want the possibility of kills. If anything, I would go back to the 3 matches, 3 minute scenario.

Did you BFE the chassis into lots of parts?
-
My bot is ready.
-
My shell spinner idea failed so I will be entering a popup multibot.
-
I have a bot that "so far" won every bot I pit it up against (mind you it has yet to face its own class in a fight :S) So if this goes through I'll send you the bot Somebody.
-
So I expect everyone to vote for this when it comes to poll :D
-
Is there anyone that could whip up some kind of template for me to use for the match introductions. I never really liked the random gray background. Preferably something that kind of matches the arena skin.
Thanks.
-
I posted somewhere an edited botlab backdrop to allow auto cutting in paint to make splashes really quickly.. dont know where it is though :P
-
just edit batsuit.tga
-
I know...
I posted the file on here with a color that wasn't used in any game parts so it wouldn't effect robots.
-
I could definitely use that. What I was talking about though was like the BBEANS Intro pics and the Strengths, Weaknesses, etc. If there was a way to make a template for it that I could use for all of the intros. Preferably an editable one for GIMP (if possible).
-
its not that hard to do yourself
also Gimp sucks :P
-
Paint.NET ftw!

*elbow grapples joey's neck*
YOU DARE TO INSULT MIGHTY GIMP ? FOOLISH AUSTRALIAN, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ?
:P
-
GIMP is what I know how to use (ish).
P.S. Thanks for the link G.K.
-
I suck at Gimp. :p
-
you dont suck at Gimp, Gimp sucks at being used :P
-
So does Photoshop. (In my experience)
-
Eh, GIMP is easier to handle and more user friendly IMO.
Also it's free :P
-
I like Gimp in that it is free but Photoshop has better tools. I personally use Gimp for all my personal projects (more control with less automation) and photoshop for all my school projects (speed and functionality).

-
Did this die?????
-
No.
-
I think people are just waiting for Bubbles to get his ass moving with Combat Clusters at the minute.
-
Or at least send me the half of the bots I don't have so I can splashify them.
-
Not dead by a long shot.
-
I may or may not be able to enter anymore, my RA2 is on a backup memory stick, but i'm not sure if it isnt infected with security tool stuff which killed my computer.
-
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SEND unless you can GUARANTEE that it is safe. I DO NOT need a virus. Make sure you get that thing completely cleaned out.
-
I'm not sending it, I'm worried that it might reinfect my pc, I havnt put it back on yet so dont worry.
-
Ok It just went quiet here. Good to know its still here.
-
Sorry, all my bots in ym team folder are gone. Although I still have my AI but i've lost bots like Claw Cube 3, Revolution and Mini SnS 2.
-
Well You can recover all of those. (CC3 and MSnS 2 in AI packs, Revolution in Botexchange)
And did you see your car Stag?
-
Announcement!
The champion of Clash of the Titans will be awarded the arena skin as a prize. From there they can choose to release it to the competitors, or to everybody in general.
-
Big thanks to everyone who voted for COTT. The signups will not be open until Sunday at the earliest (Heading down to Martha`s Vineyard for the weekend).
-
Awesome. Gives me a few days to tweak Runtime Error a little bit.
-
Is that the really fast 16 wheel drive bot in your showcase that will go so extremely fast it flies off a wedge?
Anyway yay for this getting through
