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

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

Anything I missed?
-
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

Main menu is down in the competitors list and arena pic is up.
Still waiting for LRA2 agreement to the rules I set him
-
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:
-
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?
-
I guess I could give it a go too.
-
Just made a bot for this. I'll be sending it.
-
History is bleh, but that arena skin pwns.
I'll send something soon.
-
Game on, Im in.
-
I'll enter, been waiting for a MW Stock tourny for some time :)
-
Eh, sure. I think you're experienced enough to run a tourney.
-
I will like to enter. I just made a cool bot
-
Oh hey, Greenbot!
Doom I'll send my bot soon.
-
I'll enter, and I will not be entering a uber-stacked HS, becasue anyone who does that, I'll laugh.
-
i might make a popup for this.
-
I might as well enter.
-
I'll send one in.
-
I'll send one in eventually.
-
Will there be a splash?
-
I'm in!
How should i send the bot file anyway? E-mail? PM?:confused:
-
Eh, I'll have a go at this :)
PUT ME DOWN :D
EDIT: There may not be enough room for me, if there isn't, don't panic. Or run some eliminators ;)
-
I'm in!
How should i send the bot file anyway? E-mail? PM?:confused:
1) Save it as a .rar file
2)Upload the .rar with the file host which can be found on the GTM main page.
3) Copy and paste the link given by the file host to a PM and send it to Doomkiller.
-
Actually, yes i did lol. sorry
Only if U follow these 2 rules:
1. U will not blame me or the ai I did for ur bot if ur bot performs badly
2. U must be prepared to accept defeat
Ok. I'll delete any criticiseing posts by me.
-
I'm in. If there is room.
-
Count me in if you need a SFTW.
-
I might enter a bot just to cause mayhem :D
-
JoeBlo: Sweet component and it fits in with theme lol
Everyone else: Wow I diddn't think I'd get so many competitors In 1 day ill see If u can all fit in lol
-
Ok guys updated the competitors list and unfortuatly some people couldnt get in as there wasnt enough room. First in, best dressed lol
-
wow that filled up fast :eek:
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
-
wow that filled up fast :eek:
Yeah I wasnt actaully expecting to be so popular. I'll hav to make a bigger bracket next time lol
-
Sorry for the DP but I need someone to send me the pop up py for I don't have it and by the sounds of it, Im gona need it. Also once again sorry for those who didn't get in.
-
I have one for you here:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/PopupAI.rar (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/PopupAI.rar)
This was actually the .py that Pwnator gave to me, so give credit to him instead.

Ok thanks ounce and pwn :grin:
I would have loved If u could join the tournament but unfortuatly there is no room so yeah
Bigger Bracket next tournament
-
I wouldn't have joined anyway because:
1. It's is stock.
2. The only decent MWs I have in stock are HSs.

Damn :frown: Well Put me 1st on the fill in list since I'm 17th.
-
Damn :frown: Well Put me 1st on the fill in list since I'm 17th.
will do if someone quits out u will be first on
-
I hope you don't need the bots in for a few more days. I won't be home to get to use my own computer for a couple days.
Will this be a problem?
-
I would say the build time is a little longer then a few days... I haven't even really started haha
-
I hope you don't need the bots in for a few more days. I won't be home to get to use my own computer for a couple days.
Will this be a problem?
No for I havnt got aprovved yet so yeah, u still have quite a bit to go lol
-
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.
-
Yes Im putting up the prize now. As long as U get that driving problem sorted out send me the bot
-
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
-
Remote flamethrower? I'm interested to see that in action.
-

:evil:
-
well their u go
-
*sigh* I got the driving problem solved, but its now more Havoc prone than before and it seems to be only able to lose against all bot types.
-
Popup.py isnt necessary, at all.
-
Argh! Thats 2 desing failures! Im thinking of entering Minesweeper, but I dont have its bindings anymore.
Inf, if you still have them from that Brawl of Builders tournament, could you send them to me?
-
Yes, no problem.
You will recieve them via PM later becasue I am about to board an airplane flight.
-
I'd like to enter this, but I'm probably too late. Put me down as a reserve though please :)
-
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.
-
My bot kinda looks like Nobody Nose
-
WHAT!? I HAD ENTERED! I SHOULD BE IN! NO APOLUGIES TAKEN!
-
Well thats just tough. Now we don't have to deal with you.
-
Yeah it would be great to have a 24 bot bracket. Many people missed out on this since it filled up so fast.
-
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.
-
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.
-
actually, he didnt agree to the rules i set for him before the bracket was filled.
24 bot bracket? hmmm. yeah I will make it a 24 bot bracket I just didn't expect this to be so popular lol
-
dp but now im 1 person short lol
Who else did i miss? Or is there any one else who wants to enter?
Edit : And I hope ur happy LRA2
-
thanks... more work for you... more fun for us. Much appreciated <3
-
NP im actually having fun doing this
-
they are fun that's why I am always offering my hand out to others when there making them
-
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
-
Enter yourself. :P
-
possiblely but i wouldn't want to win my own tournament so ill make something unique. If i can make something unique
-
NP im actually having fun doing this
You could actually
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2338/thinkbig.png)
And make that a 36 bracket.
After all, Hell is a big place...
-
dp. another option about the finals. I could do a 6 way bracket like joeblo did for the wildcard bracket
-

yeah but would i get enough people participating? if so i would but...
-
3rd post in the row FTW
Anyway does anyone have a full version of fraps that they would like to send me so i can film these matches? thanks
-
Here you go:
Edit by CB: Do not upload/post pirated software here!
Good luck with this, it looks good :D
-
thanks for that. Would u like to participate, I am 1 person short :)
-
Yeah I'll enter.
Better get working on something now :D
-
We now have a full bracket. Im going to go with the wild card bracket for the finals and Competitors, u might want to start building ur bots now if u havent already started. Im not saying there is a deadline now but their will be soon
-
Could Doomkiller be a legit tourney host?
The world may never know...
-
Thanks for puting me in. Me needs to build a good bot.
-
Dream on.
-
Great, the bracket fills up just as I am changing my mind and planning to join. With my luck, that figures.
Maybe I can be a reserve?
-
Im wonderng about the finals thing, is it going to be like 3 seperate 2VS2s and then a 3 way all VS all?
-
Doomkiller check your PM's.
-
Im wonderng about the finals thing, is it going to be like 3 seperate 2VS2s and then a 3 way all VS all?
I made the suggestion for 3 separate 2VS2s as a 3 way might not be possible if a multibot makes the finals
-
Im wonderng about the finals thing, is it going to be like 3 seperate 2VS2s and then a 3 way all VS all?
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
-
Great, the bracket fills up just as I am changing my mind and planning to join. With my luck, that figures.
Maybe I can be a reserve?
yeah sure u can be a reserve if someone drops out
-
When do you want the entries by? Its kind of hard for me to dedicate enough time to a great entry until the 19th at least.

not for a while yet becauase of 2 things
1 still need aproval
2 ttrying to get fraps working then gona get good at it
-
I think they would of rejected by now, Doom.
Also I don't know if they'd turn down a full 24-bot bracket.

true, but i still need to get fraps working first
-
I was getting the same feeling ^^^
you have shown a lot of work and that your prepared to host it, it would be a disappointment if it was closed down
-
ok for some reason, even though i installed it properly, fraps is not working....
help?
-
Please please please please can you find a way to get me into this tourney? :-(
I was in Maine and missed this whole thing, but this tourney sounds epic, with alot more people wanting to compete. I honestly think a 32-bot bracket would accomadate a better tourney, with more people competing.
-
Okay just submitted my entry. I'm sure it's gonna do pretty well :-D

Yeah i will try to get u in the tourney, but i wanted to start off small so thats y its only a 24 bot bracket. However, if enough people show me they are interset in joining i will make it a 32 bot bracket:-D

Can you be a bit more detailed in the nature of your problem?
-
Can you be a bit more detailed in the nature of your problem?
I downloaded the fraps, installed it and then double clicked on the fraps application. Absolotly nothing happens.
-
Is there an icon at the bottom of right of your screen that looks like the fraps logo?

mmmmm
no
-
like I said before uninstall + reinstall then try again
-
I told you to make this a 36 bracket Doomkiller.
There are still plenty of people willing to enter !
EDIT: and i have my bot ready and AI-ed, works fine. just need to skin it.
-
Yeah i will try to get u in the tourney, but i wanted to start off small so thats y its only a 24 bot bracket. However, if enough people show me they are interset in joining i will make it a 36 bot bracket:-D
fixed :-D
-
A 32 bot bracket is much cleaner than a 36 bot bracket. I think you're thinking of a 32 bot bracket, Nary.

Thanks, now i can thank naryar for confusing me lol
-
it its divisible by 8 then it will end with 2 robots :-D (sorry to bring maths into this)
-
it its divisible by 8 then it will end with 2 robots :-D (sorry to bring maths into this)
except for that 24 is divisible by 8, yet i end up with 3 robots....
BTW i like maths:-D
-
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
-

ah yes, that makes sense. Thanks
-
yeah basically each time you need a bigger bracket you double (you started with 16 so 32)
-
Yeah i will try to get u in the tourney, but i wanted to start off small so thats y its only a 24 bot bracket. However, if enough people show me they are interset in joining i will make it a 32 bot bracket
So do you want me to send a bot now, or wait to see if a 32 bot bracket comes?
-
I will join this if you need another entry.
-
I like the Arena :P
-
So do you want me to send a bot now, or wait to see if a 32 bot bracket comes?
U can send it now if u want. But unless a couplemore people get interseted it won't be a 32bot bracket
I will join this if you need another entry.
Once it becomes a 32 bot bracket, then yes u may join. (need more people interseted but not many more)
I like the Arena :P
U can thank joeblo for that
-
thanks for the credit :smiley: I was really pleased how that came out
-
thanks for the credit :smiley: I was really pleased how that came out
U did make it, so u get the created lol
-
Well, there ends my run in the winners bracket. Losers bracket, we will just have to wait and see, but I think I can pull out the losers bracket.
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'm trying to decide on which bot to send... the crappy HS, or the popup.

If it's anything like Happy Returns, I'm screwed. :(
-
Lucky you.
The spinners are powered by a..... redbird(OH DAM!)
-
It's not really mostly about the motors. It's about HOW you use the motors. :D
-
Is there room for me to send in a bot?
Starcore
-
Scrap, pwn, starcore, Somebody... Add to the bracket please?
-
Yes a 36 bot bracket please!
Im still waiting for Minesweeper's bindings from Inf, I quess im going to have to AI it myself if you have need to start the tournament soon.
-
If it is bumped to a 36 person bracket.... I'll join.
-
Not quite sure how 36 bot bracket works versus the sweet spot of 32 but do let me know if I can join?
Starcore
-
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.)
-
Yeah, no harm in 2 byes.
-
ahhhhh SSG I will send them tonight.
baseball does that
-
I'll send my bot and the bindings tonight.
-
Oh sorry, I confused 36 with 32, my bad ^^"
-
I think as of now we have 28 entrants (including SD, SB, Starcore and Urjak). Did I miss anyone?
-
Whoa, starcore wants to join my tournament? Sweet alright guys u win, I shall make this a 32 bot bracket and the dead line is gone as of now lol.
I will most probably entering one of my own bots. Any one else wana join?
-
Double post ftw but the new bracket is up :-D
-
What the **** is on with the sqaure slots!?
-
What the **** is on with the sqaure slots!?
Thats the finals ok? the last 2 bots
-
Hey DoomK, it would be nice on the front page if you colored the names green with the bots you recieved or something. Just so we can see.
-
Can I enter now brackets have been expanded? Mine'll likley be a SFTW but hey, it'll be good for the experiance.
-
may i please join
-
Did you get my bot?
Also: Doomaster: Just build a bot that fits the rules and send it to him. No need to ask.
-
LRA2 is banned so u can remove him from the bracket now.
-
did you get my bot
-
Weirdo: Ur in and i doubt u will get the sftw award
Doomaster: so are u and i received ur bot.
Somebody: yes I also got ur bot
-

LOL. He is a reletivly new member on the forums
-
Aww man, I just checked out his showcase. Wish the brackets werent getting mixed up again...
-
"R.R." On that 24 bracket brings back memories I'd rather forget. Or rather my mind focuses on them because I can't forget.
Oh well. It'll be cool to see a new bracket sometime.
-
"R.R." On that 24 bracket brings back memories I'd rather forget..
Which ones?

You wouldn't know. It was way back.

Yep. Well, across the internet, but all you need to care about is the old forums.

EEEeeEEEe.....PYS?!?! Oh boy, I'm dead.
-
Well, that bracket's now scrapped since there are now 32 entrants. XD
-
does anyone know when the tournament is going to start
-
The deadline's cancelled for now since it expanded to a 32-bot bracket.
-
i know that
-
dp!!!!!!!!!1
is there going to be a new deadline?

does anyone know when the tournament is going to start
When I get all the bots...
-
Did you replace my entry with the one I told you to use instead?
-
Did you replace my entry with the one I told you to use instead?
Yes i did...

Doomkiller, don't you have my entry?

Doomkiller, don't you have my entry?
Yeah I forgot to upload it lol
Silly me

HM... I guess Im going to AI my entry now since Infs 'Tonight' is kinda long appearently.
Dont worry about it Inf, I can understand if you are too busy IRL or something.

There you go.

There you go.
Stupid Omni. No real clue what your bot is.
Though 6 weapons makes it look like a spinner... Or soooomething...
-
No, those are the front weapons. It has 16.
Clue: It is one of the most controversial bot types.
-
I suddenly have a clue, but have no idea how it'd work for a MW.
-
Servos = No Batteries.
It's in my showcase, but I added extenders to the sides and had plastic armour.
-
Balls. Baby Bumblebee.
-
?? Isn't Minesweeper a FS?
-
I don't know at all.
-
Reier: Yes, its currently my only battle worthy Stock MW bot. You have already seen this one in Brawl Of Builders
-
Yeah, MineSweeper's an FS. I just Recycled the bindings for My bot for SSG.
Mine is actually named Cheap Win 5000...
-
Well, the bindings worked pretty good unmodified for this one, I just added Invertible:True and the weapon #s from 18 to 29
-
See, now you can send it.
-
Oh, Crap, Forgot that.
DOOMKILLER! MY BOT IS INVERTIBLE! WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
-
I am knee deep in work lately... but i will get my bot in on the 24th.
-
I want to send my bot, but Avast! is being an ass.
-
Oh, Crap, Forgot that.
DOOMKILLER! MY BOT IS INVERTIBLE! WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
I already know that and when i saw that the invertible wasnt in the binding lines, I added it ok?
-
Yay!

Oh man I'm screwed.
But I get a grudge match and could beat up joe if i get a second draw with him.
-
That bracket isn't the final one....
-
Until the uploader gets back online, I'm screwed.
-
Why am I still black(on the first page)? I should be green, you have my bot and bindings, so why? Or did you even get the PM?
-
I really wish I weren't away from my computer right now, but at least I know that I'm going to be in.
Thanks for updating the bracket Doomkiller!:biggrin:
-
Is the deadline for entries the 24th (tomorrow)?
-
Is the deadline for entries the 24th (tomorrow)?
(the 24th is today for me :) )
no because the bracket was expanded so now more days for people to make their bots
-
Okay. I still have time to try to think of something slightly more original than what I currently have then.
It's 11:45 PM on the 23rd where I am :O
-
in future Doomkiller just a tip.. add the time zone with the deadline or in hours if there is only a day to go.. for example Perths time zone its GMT+8
-

ok yeah i will next time lol
-
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.
-
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!
-
Updated the list as more people are sending in their bots :smiley:
-
Can you show the draws?
-
that normally happens after everyone has sent in entry's other wise if people have showcased there bots others can design a bot to kill there specifically
-
Expect an entry from me tomorrow,I am too busy partying it up at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
-
^ I love the fact how he tells us he's "partying it up" and still finds the time to post here and tell us about it :P
-
Yeah, He's drinking mineral water out a keg as we speak!
-
who doesnt love to kegstand Fugi?!
-
Dang I'm late. I'll try to get something goodish in ASAP.
-
^ I love the fact how he tells us he's "partying it up" and still finds the time to post here and tell us about it :P
Yeah, and when he turns around from his PC he meets a checkers board with a cup of tea and crumpets on his side.
*Possible failed joke*
-
He's gonna be pissed at that. he hates intellectual things.
-
LOL I'm very intellectual...or else I wouldn't have a shot at Vanderbilt...
And my post was made at 3:54 EST... the real stuff doesn't start till wayyyyyy later...
But I am building a Bot right now.
-
Edit first post for more bots :-D
-
so.. is there a deadline!?
-
Mine is almost done!

U can do that if u want redline, just make sure u send it in before the deadline
-

Already made it. I'll get it to you now.
-
Eh, I got a >>VS!!!<< that I'll send in but have no idea how good it is.
-
I believe I switched out my entry successfully. No word from Doomkiller but it should be alright.
One less Popup in the tourney. Might showcase it when Doomkiller confirms the bot switch is complete.
-
Mine is totally unoriginal.
-
Mine's just a pile of rubbish :P
-
Mine's just a pile of rubbish :P
That's what they said about ItI.
-
hey DK since you chose the all in one bracket you need to take away the Apocalypse bracket ;-)
-
Update. Another bot has been aied and I changed redlines previous entry to the one he just sent me
-
I cant wait for everyone to see my bot :D maybe ill just showcase it
-
I've got something people will like too.
-
I've got something people with absolutely detest.
-
I've got something everybody has seen before.
-
Not a stock SnS MW from SNSNSNSNSNSNS.
-
That's doubtful. Stock RA2 doesn't have a powerful hammer like DSL.
That being said you could have a column of spikes..
-
he he he he he...
-
I have a robot everyone will hate but probably not fear. Possibly the same type of bot as System32.
-
And the Revolution begins!
As click said, Sage started a new era an bot building!
-
Can I send a new bot to replace my current entry?
-
Ill quit this tournament if there is a crawler.
-
I can already tell there is going to be 2, still trying to make an entry lmao.
-

Sorry guys...
-
MW servo crawlers should lose to any decent HS, even if they out-weapon them.
-
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
-
I can try to draw up a bracket if I get time later today. No guarantees though.

3rd post in a row but u can natef, as long as its sent in by the due date
-
Ill quit this tournament if there is a crawler.
wow glad I didnt end up using my crawler and decided to put in something new (kinda)
-
Ill quit this tournament if there is a crawler.
I second this motion
-
I second this motion
So that means 2 people, that have allready sent bots, that i have aied, are quitting?
:tongue:
-
meh so some loose to a crawler, I personally do these for fun not to win :-D as for me I have an anti crawler robot :P (well anti to some crawlers lol)
-
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]
-
kthxbye
-
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)
-

Same format as BBEANS 2. I think I got everything... Now JB just needs to pretty it up :P
-
wow .. complicated at first glance but I understand it now.. this one will take a bit more time DK so you might have to give me a couple of days :-D
-
and to think, I had to go and figure it out on paper, then as soon as Im on this, u put a pic of it.... Thanks anyway roboshark
Also joeblo, can I talk to u on msn?

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.
-
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.
The actual system is the same though... right?
-
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/
-
Not sure what you mean 40757 but ill try that website though :)

Last day guys and These people need to send in their bots:
R1885

I will pm you guys today
-
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.
-
O yes now I see what u mean. Thanks 40757 and robo
-
update on the brackets just check out the first page :)
-
Me do's not understand loser's bracket!
-
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/westcoastdrags/howtouse.png)
Does it help?
-
um.... no.
-
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
-
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/matches/4/index.htm
Look at this bracket, It's a good example of what they mean by scrambling the bots.
-
Ok then S32, even though I allready knew what they meant by scrambling the bots a few post back....
-
It looked like you scrambled them wrong, that's all.
-
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
-
If the remaining few people dont send in bots will their places be replaced by byes?
-
All bots were sent in except scrap daddy's. I am giving him 1 more day for he thought he had till the 9th august because he didnt see the change
yes main menu the places wouldve been replaced with byesbut they have all been sent in, except above mention :)
-
Forget it i'll send something in a hour or so.
-
ok sweet scrap daddy, can't wait
-
Update
R1885 has sent me a bw dsl bot ( most probably his bw entry in micro mayhem) so unless he send a new bot in soon he will be dqed. I have pmed u about it R1885
-
Fixed.
-
thank you for sending in ur correct tourney bot. Now im just waiting on scrap daddy so ill go make the splash while i wait
-
Update:
Scrap daddy has sent in hos bot, so expect the new thread soon :-D
