Title: Doomed Bots Tournament Discussion
Post by: Doomkiller on July 12, 2009, 02:14:20 AM
After Being able to AI my own bots, I would like to hold a tournament
Basically, heres the story:
Hell has always rage war with the humans using heck's most trusted warrior: the Hell Knight. But now the humans have a new warrior: The battle robot, which completely destroys a Hell Knight. Now heck needs a new warrior, and it intends to beat the humans at their own game. Hell has decided to hold a tournament, to see which person has the better bot. Will you rise up and so all the others you have the better bot and to show yours will reign doom on the humans? We shall see.....
RULES
1. This will be Stock MW
2. All fighting Will be done in the combat zone, a fight to the death
3. Only the parts that came with the game can be used. No custom components or cheat bot 2 parts can be used. Reskinned parts are ok
4. Ur bot must be made  completely in the bot lab. No AAM or bot file editing
5. Ur bot must show controlled movement
6. No nasty pickles glitches, trinity glitches but all other are allowed
7. Multi bots are allowed but only 2 bots. They will fight under a team and the multi bot is defeated when both parts are destroyed
8. It will best 2 out of 3 matches. If the one bot wins twice in a row in the round the 3rd match will not be needed to be filmed
9. If A bot havoks, That bot will get a restart. However, Only 1 restart even If the bot havoks multiple times
Arena
The arena will be a reskinned Combat Zone. Skin thanks to JoeBlo, again
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/zb3ssvkj/Arena.png.png) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
AI
You may AI your bot yourself, or I can do it for you. Mad smart zones are allowed and so are custom py as long as I don't see any enhancement in the way it performs eg sucking the life out of other bots (mad). U must send me a link to download the custom py
Bracket
It will be a 32 bot bracket with loser bracket also
Winners

Post by: JoeBlo on July 12, 2009, 02:20:53 AM
nice to see you have put in effort into this (detailed rules and such) might I suggest you copy the whole thing into something like MS Word and correct all the spelling mistakes and edit the post above with the changes

If you need any help with this just give me a call or rather rm or msn message as I would be glad to help out :-)

Edit: also the bindings file is a little more messy in stock so I suggest you get Starcore 3 or RA2GE for you stock as the Bindings are a lot neater

Edit 2: o and 1.3 patch so you can use F10 cam

I will enter, if I can get a decent stock MW put together.
 
Is there a deadline?
 
Edit: Nevermind, I see the "no Deadline yet" statement. I think I just may have a MW ready to go anyway. Stock has collected some dust...

yes you saw right that.. the only weapon the white bot has is the Remote Flame Thrower... sits inside the bot like a control board and when fired it will shoot flames in the center of the arena burning up robots that are not even near you :icon_twisted:
Title: Doomed Bots Tournament Discussion
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on July 12, 2009, 07:17:48 AM
Yeah. I'm in for sure. I found that I have a good MW that just needed a few tweeks. I'm not sure how it will do against the like of JoeBlo, but I'll give it a chance.
 
By the way, with it being stock, it means no realistic rule, right?
Title: Doomed Bots Tournament Discussion
Post by: somestrangeguy on July 12, 2009, 07:25:55 AM
I guess I could give it a go too.

glad you like my prize ;-) (I thought it was really cool when I made it and the best part is the more you add to the bot the more points and damage the flame jet will cause :evil:) just have to finish GMF editing it so it looks different to the control board and then will send it your way when im done

Care to show the prize component too?

I already made a bot, but I has some SUPER turning difficulties and after its been in a match for a while as an AI, it just stops moving completly. I guess thats the drawback of building everything on one Snapper II.
Title: Doomed Bots Tournament Discussion

Yes Im putting up the prize now. As long as U get that driving problem sorted out send me the bot
Title: Doomed Bots Tournament Discussion
Post by: JoeBlo on July 13, 2009, 06:03:21 AM
just on that prize component it will require the 1.3 patch as I don't believe the flamethrower base is in the previous version
Title: Doomed Bots Tournament Discussion

I just built an Insectoid ripoff for that but it's not good enough for my liking.

I'll try a true popup.

And DK, you could just do this a 24-bracket... to give a few vets a chance, like The Popup Master or Pysc.

Post by: RedSawn on July 13, 2009, 04:21:50 PM
Actually, that's odd. He came in early in the thread. Unless LRA2 took his sweetass time sending the bot, he should be like 7th or 8th on the list.

He may have been omitted due to having a bad reputation.

In Fact... it is very likely that LRA2 will now ask for a "we didn't get into the main bracket - bracket"  From which, those battles will be the fodder for many "grudge match" declarations. After it is all said and done and he has had his ass thoroughly handed to him he will complain about the AI and tout that his bot can beat all StarCore bots in the same area all at once.  The icing on the cake will be when he lists how his bot could have won in his Achievements sig. Having a reputation can be a real pain... makes it harder to regain respect.

I am now stuck on what to do with the 24 bot bracket.I could either do it so that the 3 last bots will face out in a 3 way rumble or have 1 of the bots have a bye that will be earned from rolling a dice lol. I prefer the 1st option but i wanted to ask what ur guys think

ummm how do i explain this? it will be so that the 3 last bots will battle agains each other in 1 vs 1 matches, 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie and 0 opoints for a loss. after all matches have been done, the bot with the most points will be the winner

worded my post wrong ^^ you divide the number by eight to see if you will have 2 robots left :-D 24 is a bit of a pain to use (I use it in CC as it gives 8 people a bye as a qualifying reward)

If the number of bots is a power of 2, then you can run it without any 3 way rumble jazz.

Powers of 2 = 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 ect

Btw R0B0, I knew that R4 would win, its the one who has the better wedge wins in the pop-up world, in fact, Gate is based off of R4's design. Good luck in the winners bracket, your going to need it.

I think there's enough interest for a 32 (not 36 as it's not a power of 2) bot bracket.

If Doomkiller doesn't mind the extra bots to ai or the extra fights to record, I don't see why this can't be made bigger, as long as there's interest. (Lets not aim for 64, Not even BBEANS5 got that many.)

Stupid Omni. No real clue what your bot is.

No, those are the front weapons. It has 16.

Bah... My RA2 is being wonky... I made a bot for this tourney, but it does not seem very effective and now my Starecore opponents are not loading.  I'll just rely on an old standby for this tourney.  For those of you that remember the Tag Team tourney... Guybrush is back.  Doom, I just sent you a PM with the bot.

Best of luck to everyone.
Title: Doomed Bots Tournament Discussion
Post by: Weirdo on July 24, 2009, 02:36:58 PM
Sent mine. With any luck anyway. The only info that I didn't include in the PM that may or may not be important is that the spinners spin inwards.

But yeah, hope all goes well with everyone and as JD said, best of luck.

Oh, and I'm going on holiday tomorrow and won't be responding for all of next week. Ta ta!

After a couple of compliants about the losers bracket ( in the clash cubes vid thread ) The only reason why it is only a 16 bot loser bracket is because I have no idea how click does it in bbeans. If some one would give me detailed info ( a pic would be nice) on how he does It i will make that sort of losers bracket where if u lose, u got to the losers bracket instead of having to lose in the first round

When popups first came onto the RA2 scene, there was a similar backlash against them for much of the same reasons used against Bumble Bee.  It was seen as cheap and unfair to get under the other bot and hit their unprotected bottoms.  And now look, popups are basically a staple design of RA2, and they're also beatable.


If there is a Popup I will pull out.[/Sarcasm]

S32's post does have a point....people hate them so much because they render flippers and pop ups fairly useless but dont forget that are not the supreme bot of the world there isn't one robot that can beat anything (same weight class of coarse)

Doom, did you get my new bot?

I'm pretty sure that's not right. It's not scrambled enough. When I lost in round two of bbeans, I was sent all the way to the bottom, not to the top again.

It's right. In BBEANS though, Click's just using a 64-slot version of this so it's a little different.

Well, the problem is that it's not scrambled enough. The first 8 bots won't fight any other bots except for those 8 for a few rounds (this includes the losers bracket).

If you're going to use this, then it'd be much better to fix the losers bracket a bit by mixing the second, fourth, and sixth round of the losers bracket.

But if not then you can try this. http://www.bracketmaker.com/

I see what you're saying, 40757. It's a pretty simple fix though, just have L1 fight L16, L2 fight L15, etc. instead of 1 vs 2 and so on.

Post by: JoeBlo on August 08, 2009, 03:56:21 AM
basically the L(then a number) stands for the loser from the regular bracket.

when someone losers they are added to the losers bracket were there number appears

for example if I am the 3rd person to loose in doomed bots I will go into the losers bracket at the position of L3

Look at this bracket, It's a good example of what they mean by scrambling the bots.

Post by: Doomkiller on August 08, 2009, 06:45:22 AM
Ok then S32, even though I allready knew what they meant by scrambling the bots a few post back....

Post by: System32 on August 08, 2009, 06:47:00 AM
It looked like you scrambled them wrong, that's all.
Title: Doomed Bots Tournament Discussion
Post by: JoeBlo on August 08, 2009, 06:50:34 AM
I just scribbled in the numbers to show DK were the winners and losers would come into it. it wasn't intended to be properly scrambled, ROBO told DK how to scramble them a page or so ago
