Pandemic confuses me. Please explain, SD.

Reier · « **Reply #141 on:** May 15, 2009, 01:11:56 PM »

I think it kind of knocks them off to the side...?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #142 on:** May 15, 2009, 02:11:33 PM »

You mean Epidemic?

Looks like a really good SnS. SnS's are so hard to build in this game because they are so unstable. Building Haymaker 2 has not gone well because it doesnt stay on the ground for more than half a second.

No, I mean his KotH entry, Pandemic. The way it's designed seems very counter-intuitive.

System32 · « **Reply #144 on:** May 15, 2009, 03:21:52 PM »

looks like a rammer killer, or a very weird SOW bot.

Yeah, I had a good SnS called Banshee that did the same.

@ man manu- please read the previous posts regarding as to why your entry was not valid... In all, the bots crashed my game and I was not sent a valid entry before the closing of registration. My apologies.

Somebody · « **Reply #147 on:** May 15, 2009, 06:26:33 PM »

My mind is melting trying to figure out what the

Pandemic does.

man manu · « **Reply #148 on:** May 16, 2009, 05:31:57 AM »

You said they crashed your game so I sent you a new set, which you never replied to... I assumed you got them and they were working. Oh well. Things happen...

Condor33 · « **Reply #149 on:** May 16, 2009, 05:41:08 AM »

I think Pandemic is a hammer-face-spinner.

System32 · « **Reply #150 on:** May 16, 2009, 07:25:23 AM »

Face spinners are for grinding, not knocking to

and back. If anything it's a totally new bot type.

If the side we see is the front, and that weapon is stationary, Scrap Daddy must've been asleep when he made it.

H@zm47 · « **Reply #152 on:** May 16, 2009, 07:50:49 AM »

Or maybe Scrap Daddy knows something we don't...

Reier · « **Reply #153 on:** May 16, 2009, 09:14:05 AM »

I still think it knocks people off to the side, but IMO a huge VS-ish weapon is a bad idea on a KotH.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #154 on:** May 16, 2009, 04:26:23 PM »

Pandemic is indeed facing the right way if im not mistaken... It is an interesting design but is also very stable when it reaches top speed. I don't know what exposing the motor will do but I do know that naturally, the AI usually goes into the center of the KOTH arena "rear end first". I think this is an advantageous effort to prevent exposure if used this way. But I'm not certain.

I'm confused too! I don't know what happened here...Pandemic wasn't this way on my computer. It was supposed to be a DOAM clone. Oh well, I didn't intend on winning so this will just make it more interesting.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #156 on:** May 17, 2009, 04:56:51 PM »

Really? Hmm... I opened up your bot file clean as it came to me. Some sort of glitch perhaps. I've done nothing to it by the way.
I'm thinking about whether I should try to change it's position or leave it as is.
Either way this must be studied in time, I think something new has been discovered with the positioning of the weapon, or maybe something basic.

Arena Videos will be up next week as well as Brackets.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #157 on:** May 17, 2009, 08:48:00 PM »

The reason why Pandemic's weapon is messed up:

The perm is attached by one of the diagonal attach points which were added in DSL 2.1. Apparently, Gigafrost doesn't have the 2.1 patch. Or if he does, for some reason he doesn't have the Perm update. So when he imports the bot, the diagonal attach points don't exist and the game switches to one of the side points instead.

Naryar · « **Reply #158 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:44:44 AM »

That is exactly what happened when i got DOAM in DSL 2.0.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #159 on:** May 18, 2009, 11:01:45 AM »

hmm... yes it seems that way. Thanks for clearing that up Click. I will update accordingly.

Edit: Wow... I was actually waiting for this, I never knew that DSL 2.1 was already released. It's been a while.

ahhh there he is! DOAM clone safe and sound:

Thanks again Click
