ELBITE is Now Underway at Gametechmods!
Elite bots of the robotic League Battles In Tough matches Exhibition Is a Tournament like no other. This special tournament consists of 3 different types of matches which will decide if you will be the Elite!
To take a look at your entry, its stats, strengths and weaknesses, and more log on to:
www.elbite.gametechmods.com (http://www.elbite.gametechmods.com)
Info:
The way this works is that there are 3 Tournaments in one, and whoever wins their tournaments will be faced against each other in a final Death Match. All bots will be built based on the Realistic rule and apply to the rules of BBEANS series and cheatbot2 components are restricted. These Event Matches are special in that they will be different every time the Super Tournament comes around. So you will never know what to expect! Also, There will be some nice prizes for those who win 1st, 2nd, and third place. 1st place will however, win the grand prize, along with a special sticker that they will be able to put on their bot. On rare occasions, they will be able to use the grand prize in a special match called a Nostalgia Match. Nostalgia Matches are given at a random date and they give the new winner a chance to battle the previous one for an Elite Badge (details coming soon).
Right now there will be 32 bracket slots but it could be changed to 64 and so on if people are more interested in entering than i expect. The entrants will be shuffled through my top hat software only once for each of the three events. This gives you a better chance of winning a tournament in case you have some sort of disadvantage.
The following Events for this month is a Tabletop Match, a King of the Hill Match, and a 1 on 1 Death match. I explained the rules for each tournament below. In essence, you will build 1 bot of the required weight class, and alter its WEAPONRY to suit the following tournaments. BATTERIES, BASEPLATE ANCHORS, CONTROL BOARDS, AND ANY THING THAT ISN'T ON AN EXTENDER CANNOT BE MOVED IN ANY OF YOUR BOTS ONCE YOU PLACE THEM, SO BE CAREFUL! You will submit 3 bots total. But it is just the same bot with different weapon alterations. The chassis also cannot be changed BUT the type of armor it has can. Try to think of a chassis style and baseplate setup that works well with all three types of tourneys, since they cannot be changed.
Tourney Rules: Remember that they all apply to the rules said above as well. Todays weight class for all tournies is DSL MIDDLEWEIGHTS
The Deadline for the entries is the end of December! Plenty of time to think of what you are going to do.
Table top match rules
Weapons used: Non Damaging (It should have no possible way to hurt the opponent BUT you CAN flip the opponent, despite the fact that it may take damage when it hits the ground)
PY/AI Type: Custom or Standard (But it must stay on the ground at all times, and can ONLY apply to its own movement parameters. Damage, armor, etc. must NOT be affected)
Info: The tabletop match is setup in standard bracket form. It will be a 1 on 1 match and best 2 out of 3 match bouts. All entrants will be shuffled.
King of the Hill match rules
Weapons used: Damaging or Non Damaging (Destruction is Permitted!)
PY/AI Type: Custom or Standard (But it must stay on the ground at all times, and can ONLY apply to its own movement parameters. Damage, armor, etc. must NOT be affected)
Info: The King of the Hill match is setup in standard bracket form. It will be a best 2 out of 3 match bouts with 4 contenders. All entrants will be shuffled.
1 on 1 Death match rules
Weapons used: Damaging or Non Damaging (Destruction is Permitted!)
PY/AI Type: Custom or Standard (But it must stay on the ground at all times, and can ONLY apply to its own movement parameters. Damage, armor, etc. must NOT be affected)
Info: The 1 on 1 Death match is setup in standard bracket form. It will be a best 2 out of 3 match bouts with only 2 contenders. All entrants will be shuffled.
Final match rules:
Info: It is just like the 1 on 1 Death Match. Best 2 out of 3 wins. Note: For the final match, only the Bot used in the Death match will be used.
Ties:
If there is a tie, The contenders total match points will be added up. The bot with the most points would then break the tie and win the entire match.
Multibots:
Just like in BBEANS, you are allowed to submit multibots. However, they both are classified the same as the ones in BBEANS (accumulated weight of both bots must equal entry weight) and MUST have the same chassis. However, they CAN be different in terms of the way their baseplate setup is, but this MUST NOT be changed once their parts are put down. For example, you can create a spinner and a flipper (both use different "baseplate parts"), but the parts cannot be moved once they are on each of the chassis.
Summary
Today's Weight Class for all entries is: Middle Weights
Type of Building Rule Used: Realistic
The Winner will receive this Badge: The Grand Opening Sticker (pic coming soon): This Badge shows that you won the Grand Prize! This will be a decal that you could put on your bot, and will be recorded on my new ELBITE Super Tournament website.
May the best ELBITER win!
AI Rules: If you are not python savvy then simply send me your bot(s). I will do it for you.

Is it DSL?
If so, I'll enter! (Think, not many MW bots, eh Whamett, but new one!)
-
It says DSL up there, it's in red.
And do we have to AI our own bots? (I'm not very good at that...)
-
Nope
@ Wha- This month is Stock. Forgot to mention that but thanks for the reminder.
-
Stock, hmm!
(Brain ticks away...)
(Still ticking...)
(...)
Yeah, i'll enter, it will be good expirience for me, as i've never done one of these before!
-

And do we have to AI our own bots? (I'm not very good at that...)
I could teach you if you like Reier, i'm fairly good.
-

-
Oops sorry ACAMS lol. Sending you a request now.
-
Acctually, i might take a pass.
I dont want to reload my game and lose all my bots (And i cant back-up my game as i alrady have one backed up!)
Sorry, but should be good though! (If you do change to DSL ??????weight, then im in!)
-
I could teach you if you like Reier, i'm fairly good.
Maybe, I know how to do smartzones & label the drive controls & stuff like that, but I'm not sure how to do AI file bindings (If that's what they're called).
-
You don't have to do the AI if you dont want to.
@ Wha- Ok, my next one will be DSL MW btw.
-
Okay, thanks. I'll probably enter.
-
Maybe, I know how to do smartzones & label the drive controls & stuff like that, but I'm not sure how to do AI file bindings (If that's what they're called).
Oh, thats easy when you get to do it, i'll teach you some time, if you want!
-
Sure, thanks a lot. What programs do I need? (maybe we should continue this in a PM, it's getting a little off topic.)
-
Changed the rules. I decided that it will stay as DSL. Since the last BBEANS tournament it only makes sense that everyone has DSL on their computers, and I don't want to make anyone struggle. This month is DSL, next month will be stock (for the sake of those who dont have it installed right now).
-
Cool, I got a prototype middleweight just begging to be in this tourney...:biggrin: Wow, only been ~2 hours, and you got 2 pages already!
-
Cool.
Will you also be able to enter Whamett?
-
So do we have to make a bot with interchangeable weapons, or multiple bots?
-
yeah put my name down please. but i'm not really sure of the rules they're a bit comlicated. so basically i just send 1 mw to you? because it says somewhere i am to send 3 different bots in....
-
I am sure he will provide an entry page later and also an uploader for your entries as soon as all the rules are worked out.
-
Indeed. I will explain more on it on the website.
-
Your RA2GE website?
-
Kinda. I will introduce the tournament from my RA2GE website but it might (with loads of help from ACAMS) link to a site on gametechmods.
-
So basically we need to make a modular bot with interchangeable weapons... and send three versions of it to you (or two, because i suppose we can send you the same version for the KotH and the DeathMatch), and these will fight... so it is a 4 bot fight in the KotH?
But I have a problem: the three winners of each type of contest. How will you make them fight and get a grand winner, because they're three and one of them has no damaging weapons, that is a weakness...
___________
I'm in. A Spear/Rammer hybrid will own here, i'm sure.
-
Exactly and remember, The three bots you submit are all the same in terms of chassis design, baseplate anchor position, and power setup. They Just different weapons. The "death match version" will be used for the one who wins the tabletop. This means that you only change your damaging weapons for the KoTH.
KoTH is a 4 bot fight indeed...
Update: ACAMS told me to make a separate entry page once im finished laying down the rules and such on the website. I took off the list and it will be put up when I finish.
-
Cool.
Will you also be able to enter Whamett?
Um, yeah!
I can, i'll get to work on my robot right now.
BTW, do we need to make a robot for all 3 events, Table Top, KOTH and Death Match, or can we just make one for one event?
-
Blue snapper? Wait, i saw DSL MW !
-
Make 3 robots using the same chassis. Read my prev post and the one on the first page for reference.
My bad Nar- Editted.
-
Oh, well i have my Table Top robot ready, just the other 2 now!
Bot name:
Chance Of Winning: 0%
-
Did you get my robots ok, Gigafrost?
-
I think that you should wait on this until BBEANS and RAW is done.
-
Thats what i got told when i put sign ups for my tournament up, but its true though!
-
Table top match rules
Weapons used: Non Damaging (It should have no possible way to hurt the opponent BUT you CAN flip the opponent, despite the fact that it may take damage when it hits the ground)
So that means no ram plates for armor right? (since they cause damage)
(Yes, I think I'll enter this one)
-
I think that you should wait on this until BBEANS and RAW is done.
The registration alone ends in december.
Snowplows don't do damage, right?
-
@ACAMS - Correct.
@Reier- Yep. But I wouldn't just think of creating only a pushing bot... Remember that you can still use motors -hint hint-
I JUST made a 3d logo for the ELBITE tournament... But I got a blue screen error for some reason. I can't express how upset I am right now.
-
Wham nut Why are you jumping the gun?
You have untill December to build your bot the VERY best you can!
-
No, ramplates do though.
Not forgeting, if you have a flipper, if you use the Flipper segment parts to make it, i discovered that they cause damage aswell.
Really it should be so that they cause a little bit of damage.
-
I think that you should wait on this until BBEANS and RAW is done.
I agree, and BBEANS should be finished by December (or close)
I think people that host AI tournaments need to do one round a week---without fail. (after all they have the bots and nothing is stopping them)
If you have time to start a tournament you need to make sure you have time to finish it.
INFACT THAT IS A NEW RULE IN THE TOURNAMENT RULES
-
Understood. Hence the reason why I deleted the list.
-
I'm in.
-
This has probably already been asked, but can you stack batteries?
-
Count me in!
-
@ Inf - Since it uses the realistic rule, I'm going to have to say no.
-
Could we use the same bot for KoTH and Deathmatch?
-
If you want. But I would HIGHLY prohibit it. All the tournaments will have shuffled competitors, so you never know who you're up against.
-
UPDATE: New Banner is created. Look at my sig.
I will send this banner to ACAMS ASAP.
-
Wow, cool banner. I like.:biggrin:
-
So it's DSL now? so much for that
-
Banner=:-D
I kind of liked the old sig with the green guy too though.
-
I'll give it a go, count me in
-
Giga i know what i'm going to use.
But still have several questions on teh modulable bot:
-Can we change the direction of skirt hinges and the things attached to them, whatever they are? (example, swapping a weapon rack with a plow)
-Can we change wheels on motors attached to the baseplate (i don't think so), or all the drive train if he's attached to extenders/hinges?
I'm thinking of a wedge with Techno Destructo/Magmotor drive, and one or two pistons.
-
Honestly I have no idea how this tournament works.
-
It's just three in one.
You make three bots for each.
-
Think of it like this.
(http://img291.imageshack.us/my.php?image=templaterk4.png)
You have a basic bot with connection points built in. No weapons.
You use that as a template for re-building your bot to suit the following tournaments. Kind of like the bot TORNADO did when he faced his opponents. It was the same bot but with changeable weapons.
@Nar- Skirts? Of course, they go into the same category as extenders. As for your motor question. Wheels can be changed. Motors cannot.
I also want to put my site up but im waiting for ACAMS to send me the ftp information again... I think I lost my address and passoword when I cleaned my inbox.
-
The pic crashes my Internet Explorer.
-
What if the control board is added to an extender?
-
@ Somebody - I don't know what is wrong with your browser. Worked on mine...
@ System32 - Why would you do that? The Control board itself cannot be moved.
-
I willz enter.
-
What if the control board is added to an extender?
That was the smartest thing i've ever seen you post.
_____________
The rules suit me perfectly. I built the first version of my tabletop competitor and it OWNS, threw Grog once OOTA in 5 seconds on the claw top, (and the KotH one too but he's not as good)
Are you going to use the unmodded claw top, Giga?
-
I will... But I will indeed mod it myself. If time allows.
Trying to follow the foot steps of mad (^.^)
-
I'm thinking of entering a King B clone, as a pusher for Tabletop then a rammer for the others.
The control board thing: I might want it on one extender for the tabletop, but on another for the battle.
-
Umm... how are you going to mount it on an extender?
-
There's a few DSL Control boards that can be added to extenders, but not the chassis.
-
Which one?
-
This one:
(http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee185/ninteen45/See.jpg)
I might want this on one extender for tabletop, but out of the way for Battle and KOTH.
-
Sys32 you're just plain dumb.
CHEAT PARTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN TOURNAMENTS.
And these wheels are cheatbot2, by the way.
The stock red extenders too on Facemelikeaman are cheat parts for the DSL mod.
But then it doesn't surprises me if you have all the DSL components on stock.
Get the full thing, you'll see that all these are hidden.
-
Oh, I wasn't using the 1.3 patch. I didn't know that.
((Yeah, call me dumb. Just stop breathing first, asshole.))
-
Guys, can you PLEASE stop the arguing. Sys32, It might be best if you do use the full Dsl program, it's easier to tell which components are cheat or not. (https://gametechmods.com/?do=DSL_Install_Tut_Download (https://gametechmods.com/?do=DSL_Install_Tut_Download)) Nar, I really don't think he knew that those were cheat parts.
-
Oh well... and it's not the thread to start flame wars.
Get the full DSL 2.0, Sys32, then. The 1.3 patch is just needed for DSL.
-
Yeah, got that. Sorry for the retaliation, I've had a bad day at the worlds most retarded high school. Sorry.
-
That is the strangest control board I have ever seen.
-
It's off of Buster Blade.
-
Okay, I'm sending in a Wheelosaurus replica. (With minor edits...)
-
I am actually pleased on how you and Nar have resolved your confrontation. That shows how mature you both are...
@ Sys32- Sure you wanna submit right now? I haven't put the website up yet.
-
Yeah, I always finish early, so I don't go and make those Anti-(Bot name Here) Bots.
-
Changed my mind. I'll possibly have to make a new one for it.
-
Hm, looks like im going to have to re-do my bots!
I'll try and up-load pics ASAP!
-
Don't put the pics on this thread, start a showcase. There is no need to rush as there is months before it starts,
Gig: I accidentaly forgot about the rules and deleted a battery in one of my bots. I tried to put it back in the same spot, is it okay?
-
I've added two batteries manually, like somebody. Is that okay too?
-
I know, im planning them quite hardly, and going through different designs.
I will start a showcase, with vids and everything, not just with my ELBITE robots, but with some bots in general.
Im working on it now!
-
Coolio.
-
Oh BOI! I AM going to join! Ive already missed B.B.E.A.N.S. and RAW, I'm not missing this one!
-
@System32 and Somebody- Yeah that's fine. However, this would count as your "1 change left" like the other tournaments. Rules will be clarified on my site later on.
Speaking of the site... Its Up! Here is the website address (Credit to ACAMS for helping me out and being so kind as to have enough patience as to fix my errors).
I recommend that you add this to your favorites: http://www.elbite.gametechmods.com/
-
Hello and before all, thank you for this innovative challenge.
For the King of the hill match, will it be 'Hilltop' or 'LumaZone' arena ?
-
And what about the other arenas?
-
I've AIed my tabletop bot, but the dumbass doesn't cares about the tabletop. He throws and pushesbots OOTA so efficiently that he gets OOTA first! Too fast. I thnk I'm gonna reduce his drive train and bolster his pokers.
-

It looks real nice, but remember not everybody is on T3.....your RA2GE site took me 35 minutes to load, you may want to leave off all the fancy swirly stuff and make all images .jpg or .png
-
@Phil - Hey whats up? The arena will be a custom made Lumazone (Not a pure recoloring however, I will edit it's py. file)
@ACAMS- Forgot about that. Got it.
The background was changed from a whopping 151,202 bytes to 2,210 bytes. I don't know if this makes a difference but give it a try. I also kind of like this new background since it makes the words more visible.
-
AAARGH the LumaZone !1!1!one!
I'm gonna suck hard in the KotH then...
...Wait Giga, the KotH battles are just a duel, or a 4-bot-rumble?
-
It will be a 4-bot royal rumble. To balance out the weak and strong bots. My advice would be to try to protect/weaponize all the sides of your bot, as it may sometimes try to enter the center backwards.
-
And I suppose the tabletop is a 4-rumble too?
Awesome.I'll get RAPED in the KotH and possibly in the tabletop, because even if you enter a good tabletop bot the winner is nearly random.
(i'll still give it a try though)
-
Woah.. Forgot about that. No, the tabletop is a 1 on 1 match. I don't know why I didn't specify...
editted.
-
my furious building for early preparation for this tournament has made me very frustrated and has made me realize how not great at DSL i am.
-
Which strategy do you follow to build your bot ?
At first, i'v tried to build a good tabletop Bot, then, adapt and test it on the king of the hill.
It appears that there's a good part of luck in winning a table top. For now, i try first to build a good 'King of the hill bot' then i will see how to adapt if for tabletop.
There's also the technic to have a very powerfull and specialized bot for a kind of match and then try voodoo magic to influence the chance when it will be selected... not tested that yet.
the tabletop is a 1 on 1 match.
I've not noticed that ! it changes a lot !
-

Did the same thing, and agree 100%.
-
To Gigafrost :
It appears that many people did not AIed their bots.
When the "same" bot have to play in king of the hill (where speed to be the first 'on' is important') and tabletop (where a too excessive speed will let you down), it may be useful not to have the same AI.
Typically, in tabletop : Radius parameter must be high and topspeed must be low, in king of the hill, speed must be high, and turn low.
Will you AIed separately the bots ?
-
I was thinking about that idealolog and will have to say Yes and No. The bots themselves are not a problem to AI, but like you said, an "adaptation .py package" would consist of 2 or three different .py files for one bot to be used in each corresponding tournament.
By all means I will indeed help those who can't AI or edit .py files for themselves, but I would not recommend this for anyone else who has some skill, and the custom .py that you make will kind of give you more or a feel as to how YOU want the bot to act in the arena.
Henceforth, I will only AI 10 bots (first come first serve to the vacant slots). This will include all of your variations for each tournament, however, you will not have a say as to what type of .py I would use; that would be my choice.
The rest of you MUST do your own .py files (or use the stock/DSL ones if you want). I know this is a little tougher on you guys but I think that this is the best way to avoid the "stupid AI" for well built bots.
As for creating them as AI bots. I will only implement the .py file you created into the init.py file and rename its type to what you put in. I am not allowed to alter your AI information in any other way. This means that you may also need to place your smartzones. But of course, you can always ask me for advice.
Editted first page.
-
UPDATE: Now the Badge you have all been waiting for... The Fire Badge is finally complete.
(http://elbite.gametechmods.com/images/Fire%20Badge.png)
ELBITE Desc: This is basically your first step in separating yourself from the rest... You are now noticed by the top builders as a potential disturbance. You now have the power of the first Elite Weapon. Use it wisely...
-
This sucks for all the people who do not know how to AI their bots. :(
-
Why so? All you have to do is place/name the smartzone on your bot and wire it appropriately... They have loads of AI tutorials as well. It's good to try something new.
-
Ok, okay then I take that back.
-
Actually i think it's unfair if you to AI only 10 bots, and everyone else has to do their bot's bindings. Because you'll certainly AI the 10 bots well, whereas we, all the others, can fail. That means the bots AIed by you will have an unfair advantage.
I would be for a tournament where everyone must AI their bot, if you can't/don't want to AI them all. It would be fun.
And of course if you AI your bot before, you can test it on AI vs AI. As the tournament. And THIS is an advantage too.
-
I already sent mine so it is getting Aied.
-
Ok. As to resolve this issue altogether. You guys deserve a chance to have a say in this as Nar explained.
And since I have more time than i thought... I will do everyones AI. Even though I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone comes up with, I forgot that not everyone is familiar with python. Apologies everyone. However, this means that I am not responsible for a bots failure in a match if its too complex. Just keep me in mind when you send it <3
So far Somebody and phil sent me their bots. I will also AI them so no worries there either.
I think that wraps up the rules for now
-
Who would agree that I should do everyones AI?
No, this is part of the fun. Ok to help those who really don't know, but trying to AI our bot is a good way to learn about.
Why not opening a thread 'help me to AIed my bot' where people shows picture of their bot and other ones respond. If they do not want to show their real 'battle bot' they can make a similar one to show off.
-
Ok to help those who really don't know
Thats me :frown:
-
This means that i actually have to AI my bots myself? I can tell you that I wont do well on that but will atleast try...
-
I mean I already changed my post saying that I will AI everyone's bot if they want. If you still want to do it yourself its fine with me. I was sensing some tension from some people saying that it wouldn't be fair for those who don't know how.
HOWEVER... The next tournament will use the only 10 Auto AI rule that I mentioned some time ago. Seriously, we should learn how to edit .py files.
-
Giga, I think that the TT arena is the Clawtop & KotH is the Lumazone, But what is the Deathmatch arena?
-
Wait, did you get my bots Gigafrost?
-
@ Reir - You'll see :)
@ Urjak- Yeah. Btw I revamped the front page showing if i got anyone's bots or not.
-
Working on my new bots now Giga if you want a resend.
-
Very good... I'll wait for it.
-
Say, if i have a burst motor, can i remove it for another design?
-
As I have said in red on the first page.
"BATTERIES, BASEPLATE ANCHORS, CONTROL BOARDS, AND ANY THING THAT ISN'T ON AN EXTENDER CANNOT BE MOVED IN ANY OF YOUR BOTS ONCE YOU PLACE THEM, SO BE CAREFUL! "
-
That means NO
-
Even if it's attached to an extender?
-
If it is attached to something on a baseplate extender, it is fine. If you just placed it on the chassis, you cannot move it.
-
Okay then.
-
Oh, just finished my bots and now i hear about this!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-
Um, It's up there in red. :-D
-
But, can you get rid of a chassis component?
Anyway, my new bots are done, i'll send them to you ASAP
-
No you can't!
Again and again, you can't add/get rid of a component attached directly to your baseplate.
-
Ok, just asking, anyway, my final bots are done and im putting them on the file uploader now.
-
You have 2 1/2 months.....why rush?
It is always better to build them right before sending them in and having to completly redo them and resend.
-
Yay, Wallop! is a-ok to enter!
-
I'm considering entering. Don't put my name down yet though, I'd like to see some other people's entries first.
-
Oh, think like your enemy, thats what i do.
-

-Sun Tzu, The Art Of War, 5th century AC
-
-Just made a wiki that goes into more detail of the tournament and how it works, rankings, etc. This will be on the website.
I agree with you guys on that. but you wont be able to see the other's entries until everyone submits their bot. Either way, you have BUTTLOADS of time to build your masterpiece.
-
i'll enter!!
-
Can you still change your entry? (not completly, just minor tweaks)
-
Yep until December. Also note that on the first page i gave everyone a "change" except those who submitted early (hence they both submitted changes to their bots.)
@ACAMS- If it's not a bother, I was wondering if you can rename the portion of the thread to say "Rules and Registration" instead of "Ideas and discussion". If possible. I am pretty much finished with setting all the rules for now.
-

you an actually do that yourself. go edit the first page and you should be able to edit the title too.
EDIT: nvm, that was the old forum.
-
so can you put down a baseplate anchor with nothing on it on one original bot. then on your second bot add an extender then a weapon onto the baseplate anchor or do you just have to put a weapon without the extender?
-

yes
-
extender and weapon.
-
i think i have my entries ready. not gunna submit yet as i have plenty of time for if i get a brainwave. lol i wish i submitted my 1 on 1 bot for BBEANS4 would have been better than FRF.
-
New rule has been added: Multibots.
Just like in BBEANS, you are allowed to submit multibots. However, they both are classified the same as the ones in BBEANS and MUST have the same chassis. However, they CAN be different in terms of the way their baseplate setup is, but this MUST NOT be changed once their parts are put down. For example, you can create a spinner and a flipper (both use different "baseplate parts"), but the parts cannot be moved once they are on each of the chassis.
-
Wait... I missed something.
Right, if we use a multibot, each of the bots can have different baseplate setups, and all the chassis will be the same for all of the bots (including the KotH MW), but what do you mean by
"However, they CAN be different in terms of the way their baseplate setup is, but this MUST NOT be changed once their parts are put down"
-
By "parts" I am referring to the parts which are placed on the baseplate (like the other bots, anchors for example). They CAN NOT be moved.
-
Sent in my entry. Fear it! :icon_twisted:
-
im gonna enter.
-
Reier, You still have more than two months to send in your entry. Why so quick? I've almost finished mine though so I suppose I can't talk...
-
since when did i send in bots? i think theres an error there giga i haven't sent mine in yet!
-
Oops must have thought of the LU entry.
c.h.a.n.g.e.d
-
Giga i have two questions:
-Can you make an AIed bot to ignore all arena hazards and is it legal to enter it?
-If I want to use a multibot (let's say in only one of the tournaments, and two middles in the others), all the bots (four at max) must have the same chassis, the two MW bots must have the same baseplate setup, but the multibots baseplate setup can be anything else?
-
1- Yes it's possible (mad correct me if I'm wrong). I will indeed count it as legal as well. As long as it abides with the other rules I previously posted.
2- I am going to have to say that that would be illegal. Remember that Multibots count only as one bot. Hence, they MUST be together in every tournament; otherwise it would be like entering half of a bot. Since the rules state that you can only enter one bot with 3 different alterations, those alterations only apply to the multibots. Any other bots that you wanted to enter in the other tournament would not qualify, as they would count as a completely different bot. This is despite the fact that they have the same chassis and setup.
-
I think that multibots shouldnt be alowd.
Lets face it, on tabletop its 1 pusher vs 2 pushers, so you could be pushing 1 of them, then the other comes along ans knocks you off, no fair!
If they're about the size of a lightweight, or 2 small bots that make the size of a middleweight, then that would be ok.
-
Wham that's funny because the "no fair thing" is exactly what i plan to enter.
__________
Giga, that means you have to get EXACTLY the same chassis setup in all of your entered bots (the middleweight(s) and the multibots), amirite?
Also,if you use a multibot in a non-KotH, are you forced to use a multibot in the other non-KotH tournament?
-
you put the thing in the " " 's
-
If the TT and KoTh matches are 4 bots each, how will you put in a multibot without it trying to kill each other.
-
How are you even going to make them fight on the same side on the TT & KotH?
-
No, only the KotH is going to be a four bot rumble. Tabletop is one on one.
Reier: it can be done by modding the clawtop's main .py file, by adding 'TEAM MATCH' to the types of game, and you can play a team match on a tabletop. My Claw Top is already a Team Match arena too.
-
There still won't be 4 bots.
-
Giga.... Can you make an AIed bot to ignore all arena hazards....?
[/COLOR]
1- Yes it's possible (mad correct me if I'm wrong). I will indeed count it as legal as well. As long as it abides with the other rules I previously posted.
[/COLOR]
Yes, there's coding in the arenas that enables the bots to avoid hazards and floor edges. It's only a deterrant not a preventitive. And yes one could mod/tailor it.
-
It seems that on tabletops, there is a certain randomness to who survives. This seems mainly do to the AI, especially visiible when you ram a robot off the edge, and the AI doesn't stop it as fast as it could. Thus, having two bots would make it more likely not to fall off.
-
But there still would not be 4 competitors in the battle.
-
But there still would not be 4 competitors in the battle.
Read the darn rules!
But a multibot can't compete on the KotH of course.
As said before, a multibot is considered as only one bot.
-
Clarifying for everyone (and thanks for the help Mad): -sigh- As I said countless times, and this time I will put the text in red and bulleted for memorization:
If you are entering a multibot
-You can only submit your 1 multibot; the complete set of two identical LWs.
-You cannot submit any other bots than that complete set unless it's an alteration (weapons are only changed).
- NO extra MW will qualify if you already submitted a complete set. Even if it's identical. It makes things confusing.
@ Somebody & Reir - Why does the multibots rule seem unfair to either of you? You had no issues with a multibot entrant in BBEANS when my bot TOURQUE had to fight it.... My rule still stands, there will be multibots in the tournament. They both are practically LWs and remember, if one is thrown off, they both are out, despite the conditions.
It really isn't that complicated guys.
As for what a multibot can and cannot compete in is my issue. I am not using the stock TT, meaning that it will be configured to allow multibots to function properly (if there is any problems with such). True, the TT is a 1 on 1 match indeed. I will simply enter the extra bot to battle.
-
Right, that simplifies matters - i'm not using any multibot now that the rules are stated.
Cunning plan status: FAIL.
-
@ Somebody & Reir - Why does the multibots rule seem unfair to either of you?
I doesn't seem unfair, I just didn't understand it. I get it now.
-
OK cool.
BTW - I will be posting the ELBITE Super Tournament Arenas sometime this week/end.
To kind of give you guys an idea as to what to expect.
The prizes will also be revealed.
-
Great. =)
-
Yay the prizes! And most importantly, the arenas - to suit the bot.
-
Can't wait Giga.
I'll probably have to update...
-
I'm so not ready.
-
I have my three ideas for each bot. And doing tests if this is going to work... and it seems it will.
-
ok i need a "DUH" ansewed. is it DSL or stock. the site said DSL but iv seen giga say its stock.
-
Oh yes. Very sorry for that previous conclusion. My site holds the final rules: It's DSL.
BTW - I'm here for a little while (until thanksgiving anyway) and will accept any new entries. I also think Psy and some others said something about themselves entering as well? But I'm not certain... The other tournaments are coming to a close so let's all get hyped up for ELBITE! At least so I can get a good 32 full slots!
Update: Sometime tonight, I will also submit the Official ELBITE Tabletop Arena Video. Showing you what to expect (BIG kudos to mad btw). Keep an eye out for it!
-
Ima enterr
-
Will the vid be here or on the site.
Also: Will that be the only modded arena?
-
...Update: Sometime tonight, I will also submit the Official ELBITE Tabletop Arena Video. Showing you what to expect (BIG kudos to mad btw). Keep an eye out for it![/quote]
BTW, Gig, I tweaked that coding a little more/diffferently, and you may want to check it out. Let me know (via PM).
-
@ Mad - OK, I'll PM you.
@Somebody - What? Not at all! We are just getting warmed up. All my arenas are custom.
-
im in for all the marbles. lol
-
Ok here is the [unless mad is gonna pm me back]Table Top Arena for ELBITE[unless mad is gonna pm me back] Just showing you how it works.
Video 1(Beta) Avoidance Test
AI Bots only with avoidance code implemented
https://gametechmods.com/?do=ra2ube&ACT=video&id=ELBITE_Super_Tournament-Tabletop_Arena
Video 2 (Beta) Claw Switching Test
Avoidance code and claw switching implemented
I'm going against Mrs. Plow. Activating hazards and messing around.
https://gametechmods.com/?do=ra2ube&ACT=video&id=ELBITEClawTest
Apparentlymy video recording skills needs some sharpening (help Click?)... I am using the registered version of Fraps but have no idea as to what would be the best frame rate to use, apart from using the forums uploader which made me lose some quality. Remember that this is only a BETA. I will show you guys the finished product once I get in touch with mad.
With mad's help, I am able to make the claws change direction if the flame hazards are activated. I basically upped the speed and power of the claws themselves to give you more of a challenge. I found out that when this is done, the claws actually do a bit of damage as well, which was very pleasing.
Entries are coming along quite nicely! Added 70hemicuda and Scrap to the list, along with myself for the 16th slot...
-
What is the point for the arms spinning backwards?
-
When the arms spin backwards, they can pin smaller bots to the ground. I was using a HW so I got out easily.
-
Ah I get it. That is a good idea. I <3 the arena. Looks great.
-
I'd like to enter, I just forgot to post it here.
-
OK, I am now working on the ELBITE KOTH Arena.
I also created a list, on the first page, pertaining to those whom I haven't received entries from so far. I also want to HIGHLY stress that the "1 change left" is only good for this month. Once December hits, all changes will be set to 0, regardless of whether your entry is final or not.
-
I'll probably enter. I just need to skin and AI my bots.
-
Sweetness.
-
How far into completing arenas are you giga?
-
I finished the Koth Arena, which leaves me to complete the deathmatch arena. But I forgot that I have a meeting tonight at 8 (important business to attend to). It will be displayed when I get some time.
-
Cool can't wait.
-
FINALLY... I finished the vid for the KOTH.
It is just a reskin right now because I need some help with it's coding. I am still in the baby stages in trying to call events. I also sped up the match to save time.
https://gametechmods.com/?do=ra2ube&ACT=video&id=ELBITEKOTH
btw ACAMS how do you make the video display in the forum?
-
Wow... that looks very cool.
-
goose made RA2ube converter so I will see if he will add a box to make a link for these forums.
-
I hope you're running the event with hazards off, because you can't see where the spikes are with that skin. Some sort of box would also help to distinguish the points zone from everything else. Other than that looks good.
Lightning that throws bots off would be cool and easy to do, but 1) it discourages you from getting points, which seems counterproductive, and 2) it's unnecessary, because if a bot stays too long in the points zone alone, it will activate the immobility counter and drive out on its own.
What would be better is some way to help the bots not in the zone get back in it, though that would be harder to do.
-
I agree. Like I said in the vid, I would need some MAJOR help in scripting it all.
Also, I will try to mark out the little "danger and point zones". I figured leaving them out since it will be all AI, but I will instead add them in once my arenas are available for download and finalized.
I really would like there to be little smarzones on this arena that are on the outside of the point zone. When a bot run over them, it gives them a jolt of electricity. Of course the damage will be very low, but I want it to have a high Force, sending the bots flying decently around the arena for example.
-
Gigafrost I just sent my bots to you to check if they're realistic... they're not ready yet.
Undertaker is finished, Battle Scar pwns but i'm still not happy with some of it's defects, and Shockwave still has major issues.
-
Ok, send me your finalized bots ASAP. Remember Nar, it has to be the same bot, but with different parts to suit each tournament. The bot name must also be the same.
As you all know, November is going to end in less than a week! Be sure to bring in your entries! December 5th is the last day that I will accept any bots. On the 6th, I will display the drawing of your bots to see who it will be up against in each of the three tournaments.
I am getting a feeling that I am not getting any more entries so I might just have to make it a 16 slot tourney. Unless Other people enter.
-
im pulling out so i can make sure my tourny is done in a timely mannor. and so it wont conflict with yours
-
That's fine. If this list stays this way by december and I get all the bots, I will pull myself out to make it 16.
Edit: Finalizing the deathmatch, finalizing other prizes...
-
Can I send in different bot? I think you said I could, but it says on the front page I have 0 changes left...
-
Yeah send it in. Typo Alert.
-
Will their be three splashes, or one big one.
-
I'm almost done with the new bot, Gig. Just AIing & stuff. I'll send them ASAP.
-
@ Somebody - I'm not doing a splash at all. Something better is going to be made ^_^
-
@ Somebody - I'm not doing a splash at all. Something better is going to be made ^_^
sounds like a video? if thats the case... good luck.
-
As Madiaba would say "hehehe."
Edit/announcement:
Aside from that, I have recently checked my uploader for the ELBITE website and have noticed that there are some people who have sent me their bots. Remember to please PUT YOUR NAME on your file before you send! I totally have know idea who has sent me bots through the uploader, and there are 10 of them.
Here are the bot file names I found, If any of these files are yours let me know please (Spelling is exactly how the filename is spelled):
1-TheBest SaberBot Ever!.zip
2-the maler.rar
3-Super Fast Rammer.zip
4-Super Destructor.zip
5-S.U.C.H.B.U.D.zip
6-disroyerdistruced.rar
7-Bot2.zip
8-6131Bot2.zip
9-1603disroyerdistruced.zip
10-1521 Bot2.zip
Again, let me know if any of these are yours so I can mark them in my "splash alternative". But in the future, please try to send me labeled entries. I have not looked into these files for the safety of my own computer.
-
Gigafrost I've uploaded all my bots, plus i included my own bindings.
I think everything is good now. Oh, and remove the TT, KotH and DM from the bot's name of course.
-
very good nar, your entry is now qualified.
UPDATE: 1 WEEK LEFT TO SUBMIT AN ENTRY/REGISTER!
December 5th, your entry is due for submission. pleas try your best to create your entry before then! (considering that you have had 3 months to prepare)
-
When can we expect the tourney to start? When can we also expect the (whatever it is with the bots) to be out. For Predictions and such.
-
The tournament will start on around December 25th (Xmas time) if things go well. Bot showcases will be released once I get all the bots.
I also have to check my SmartFTP account to see how many people have submitted their bots through the uploader as well.
I have also finished the final version of the KOTH... I decided to just leave the hazards as is, as I am running out of time and still need to finish the prizes, the showcase, and the deathmatch arena... Once my little brother is finished playing spore on my RA2 computer.
-
I'm almost done mine. It's probably the best MW I've ever built. I just have to AI the versions, think of a good name and skin them. Hopefully I fight Naryar alot so I can get my revenge :P
-
If there's still room, I'm in. Just have to finish my KOTH and I'll send you the files.
-
My tabletop and KotH ones are average (to my standards), but the DM one kicks ass, nearly as good as HazCon (even if HazCon gets most of the time his metallic ass kicked when they fight)
In my vision of a perfect world, the deathmatch finale would be R0B0SH4RK VS Naryar again.
-
Im going to enter too, i just have to finish my bots.
-
Excellent! Adding in names...
@Nar- Sounds good, I can't wait to see who you all will be pared up with.
UPDATE: Apparently my little brother released from my laptop at around 10:00 or so and I went off track and updated my ATI card drivers until 1:00 AM (was REALLY hard for me to do at first on vista). Sooner or later I am going to get to that prize building.
-

I hope you haven't forgotten they all must be the same bot with different weapon alterations. The way you speak of them, you make them sound like three different bots.
And in my perfect world, I'd win.
-
just finishing up my tabletop.
-
Gig, I know you're kind of busy, but could you AI my entry? I would do it myself, but my comp is acting haywire. If you don't have time, that's OK.
-
My bots are sent via PM.
It didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but I don't have the time now to make a new bot. I think I can safely say that I won't be winning many battles in KOTH or deathmatch. I'm pretty pleased with the tabletop version, though... if I win, it will be in tabletop.
I have a chance in KOTH too as long as I don't face any flippers or VS's, but I'm not counting on that. Deathmatch is where I'm most worried.
-
Reier ill AI your bots as im in the tourny and i doubt giga has the time. just PM me if you want me to do them.
-
@Reier - Oh no, please. I still have some time to AI those who need it. I also need your entry anyway, as I have seemed to have lost it somehow.
Edit: Just found out that the following files belong to daleksec7, a forum member.- 1603distroyerdistruced
- distroyerdistruced
- the maler
I will check these entries to see if the qualify... All the rest in my previous list have no name so they will be deleted.
-
you should put up a list of who's bots you have.
-
Look at the first post...
I'm going to build something soon. Im probably not going to win any matches because I suck at dsl.
-
Uploaded my new entry, Gig.
-
OK Reir, recieved.
Also, I am releasing the Grand prize...
TONIGHT! Be sure to look for it on the first page and on the website, the deathmatch will be revealed on the 5th
-
Great. What time tonight. (EST please!)
-
Now:
BEHOLD THE... (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35221HOLYJB.png)
It is in it's beta stages right now because I have to get the collision mesh straightened out as well as the mapping, but hey, it beats nothing dosen't it?
This weapon will be the sole purpose of all your hard work (apart from the badge), and can be used in the upcoming ELBITE 2 and Nostalgia matches.
-
Nice. I like it.
Dunno if I'll get it though...
-
That looks awesome.
-
It's...Beautiful!
-
Great! I am glad you guys like it as it was pretty difficult to create usinf a decompiler. Any
-
Great! I am glad you guys like it, as it was pretty difficult to create using a decompiler. Anyway, this blade is designed to be used as either a slicing, smashing, slapping, stabbing, crushing, or even flipping weapon (if you get creative), It has sligthly more piercing than the razor spike (2.9 I believe) and 18000 hit points...
UPDATE: 2 MORE DAYS TO SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY!
If you think you need an extra day to work on your entry PLEASE let me know either today or tomorrow! Once I get your message, you should see an "Extended until Dec 6th 11:59 PM" Status message next to your name on the first page. Keep in mind that once you do this, you will use up your 1 change left.
-
Looks cooler than the BBEANS blade altough i doubt of it's stabbing efficiency.
I can't wait to see all the bots !
-
Should get you my entry tomorrow giga. I'm not hopeful for any of my bots as I found it really difficult to test my robots (apart from deathmatch) because they where not allowed damageing weapons.
-
Hey it's that fact that you guys are trying that counts... My bots might suck just as much.
-
Wow, great job Gig.
-
Could you please extend the deadline to the end of Sunday? That would be really helpful.
-
I am not worthy.
Fixed.
-
UPDATE: The final is complete (credit to Mad for fixing the mesh). Once I get some time, I will showcase it in full. The winner will also be able to use 10 different color variations of the blade.
Second and Third Prize winner's will receive another custom component I am working on. But that is currently TBA!
Also please note that you guys have until tommorow night 11:59pm to submit your entries! Remember to ask for an extension if you don't think you will be able to make it in time.
(Sorry R0B0, I just have to meet the deadlines)
-
I want the extra day.
-
I can make it. just a matter of remembering.
-
Update: ByBots have been released to take over Vacant Slots!
What is a ByeBot?
A ByeBot is a extremly weak, 4WD, huge chassis, bot with 1mm plastic armor, and no weaponry. If you are lucky enough to get matched up with a ByeBot, then chances are, you might have the upper edge to move up the tournament! ByeBots all have the same chassis but are identified by Type (which is just a letter printed on the bot). and replace the boring old Bye messages that simply let you pass . Now with ByeBots, you may also get some extra points along the way.
ByeBot Against ByeBot?
If two ByeBots go head to head, then their entry will be reshuffled until they are matched up with a real opponent.
Losing to a ByeBot
If you lose to a ByeBot, then you're match will be restarted until you defeat it. You only have three tries until the ByeBot becomes the winner... But this is VERY rare.
Speed points
Beat a ByeBot in less than 10 seconds? Then you would get a Point Bonus added to your score!
The Point Bonus would be equal to 10 minus the amount of time it takes to defeat the ByeBot >0.
So you WOULD get points if you beat one in nine seconds (10sec/pts-9sec=1 point)
But NOT if you defeat it in ten seconds or more (10sec/pts-10sec=0) (10sec/pts-11pts= -1 = 0) and so on...
As I said before, this entire system is to help you win those points.
-
Sounds interesting.
-
I like the idea. I hope i get to fight one.
I'm assuming these are MWs, Giga?
-
4 OK
-
I just posted something really dumb and random that makes no sense because I'm stupid.
Fixed.
I could really use the extra day. Even Saturday would be helpful. I just finished a week and a half of exams and playing at about six different gigs with my band, and a bunch of other stuff on top of that. Could I please have a small extention?
-
Giga that rule is really... random ?
Could we have more precision on tabletop fights, and also if you are going to give a free restart for these because of an AI driving fail? (you know, sometimes the bots go OOTA for no valuable reason)
Oh, and give that day to R0B0, for the only reason that i will have a chance to kick his ass again.
-
Oooooh... cocky, aren't we?
I bet you don't even make it far enough to even face me.
-
Just don't make predictions too fast in case you fail at them.
-
The only thing I'll be failing at is failing to lose to you again.
In other words: Don't expect a repeat of BBEANS 4.
-
Repeat of BBEANS4 means you winning a fight against me. I am expecting better !
-
Don't worry, you'll see better. You better bring your best too. You'll need it.
-
...Expecting better from my bot and worse from yours !
-
Well, then, you're gonna be in for a BIG suprise...
-
Such a big mouth in 4 posts... and no robot.
-
OK guys knock it off. You're squabbling like Ash Ketchum and Gary. However, I do admire that you guys are willing to be competitive.
Anyway R0B0 I will extend the date just for you. The deadline has been moved to Sunday at 11:59, like 2 more days.
@ Nar- About your question for the ByeBots. They will have the Rammer AI script, so they will always be bumping into your bot, I made these guys because of the butt load of extra vacancies and I don't know if ACAMS and the rest will be sending in their bots in time, so I'm am being prepared for the better. Also remember that I am using an UPDATED Tabletop script that highents the avoidence of OOTA run ons...
@Pys - If you want, I get get you in a spot too. Let me know.
UPDATE: Since the extension has been moved to sunday, the FINAL prizes will be released at that time as well.
-
Today is the last day for entries. Tomorrow all entry slots will be evaluated and the empty ones will be closed out!
-
I hope that I get a byebot to face.
-
Same here. I just want to make it past the first round.
-
Will people who don't submit their bots be replaced by byebots?
-
Giga, you could just make things easier for you and do a 16-bot tournament because we're actually just 11 readied entrants (normally) and i don't picture that many competitors entering their bots at the last minute... Inf and R0B0 maybe, but we won't be more than 16 IMO.
I'm not really counting on my TT/KotH bots, mainly on my DM one, because I bet there will be more and better wedges than in BBEANS4.
EDIT: SB i think so. It's logical.
-
I shall be submitting mine at sometime tonight.
-
I agree with you Nar, and that was my plan (Don't know if I said so before).
ByeBots DO replace vacant slots Btw But I am going to make it a 16 bot slot.
-
Just need to finish up my tabletop and i'll send em in.
-
I'm impressed with the blade. That's a complicated shape to do without Max. Did you make it from scratch, or edit an existing gmf? Either way, it couldn't have been easy.
-
Just sent mine. Not sure if it will work though. My first time with compressing stuff and stuff lol. Also sorry I couldn't AI but I can't really do it well so I left it for the expert. Sorry.
-
I'm impressed with the blade. That's a complicated shape to do without Max. Did you make it from scratch, or edit an existing gmf? Either way, it couldn't have been easy.
I editted an existing .gmf file of the Samurai Sword. However, if you compare both of them, you will notice that the blade is longer, wider, and the base is a completely different shape. I done this by simply figuring out which numbers of the gmf control what; in terms of Verticies, and did each "xyz point" individually. Took a while even with Serges wonderful gmf viewer, but it was well worth it.
Speaking of which... Once I get finished with my finals (perhaps tuesday or wednesday... thursday?) I will show you the finished ELBITE Prizes video! Showing all the prizes and the finalized version of the HOLY BLADE.
To be honest, it is the best and most advanced component I ever created (Thanks to mad's help with the mapping and collision).
-
Sent in mine. Did you get them?
-
Yep, Your name is removed from the [horror music] WARNING LIST [/horror music]
-
Why am I in the warning list? Didnt you get my bots?
-
Typo Fix :D
-
Good luck to all in this tourney. (Especially gigafrost- hosting a tournament is harder then it looks)
I'm not competing.
-
Aww, ok then. Thanks anyway Sage.
Be SURE to be in the next one that coming up though -hehehe-
-
Thanks Sage,
I'm gonna need it I think...
EDIT: Giga, when can we expect to see a splash? Sorry but I'm really excited to see what other people have come up with :)
-
Why was the deadline moved from the end of Dec to the 5th?
-
I just thought that since I am finishing up the prizes that there is no need to go on to the end. But I mean, once I think about it, I should change it to the end shouldn't I? I mean this is my first time doing a tournament so I will listen to everyone's feedback persistently.
-
My bots won't be ready today
-
Hmm... Well ok.
I know I have been constantly changing the date (Of which I feared primarily). I hope this hasn't hindered anyone, So I will change it to the end of December...
Also as a sign of my apologies, I will give everyone 3 more Change Lefts.
Again to every one, please accept my apology.
@Sage - If you would like, I can put you back into the list... Just let me know
-
YaaaaaY! I have been wanting to change my bots. I realized that they are not my best work (nowhere near it).
-
YaaaaaY! I have been wanting to change my bots. I realized that they are not my best work (nowhere near it).
You're not alone, i feel mine is really rustic...

Phil I don't know if rustic is used in English too.
Hùùù...
(ZOMG TYPO)
Hmmm... Maybe I should put more weight into my TT bot's wedges, get stacked razors on my KotH and possibly change the DM's saw protections.
-
So did you get mine?
-
Rustic isn't used much, but I understand it. (it means, old/out of date, right?).
-
In French it means "crude".
-
About the same thing.
-
OK. I'll scrap something together. I'll just try to be original. (As I always do in tournaments) That's why i don't have many tourney wins under my belt.
But It should be interesting.
-
Awesome! I'll put your name back on the list.
Is there anyone else that would like to join?
-
I'll join
-
I'll join
Oh no, my VS senses are tingling! :D
-
Wee all gonna dy.
-
I'll join
I
AM
SCREWED.
None of my bots can consistently get under DOAM.
Giga: all my DSL is messsed up so i'm gonna try and reinstall all the mess.
-
Cool. All of mine can.
-
...Did you used BSG-200 wedges?
-
Oh great, Jules. I'm going to die.
-
So did you get mine?
Maybe I'll get an answer on my third time of asking?
-
-slaps with a fish- You haven't looked at the first page!
-
Sorry, apologies gigafrost. But it would have been easier to just say "Yes manu I recieved your bots" Would it not?
-
Not if he's already said it on the first page...
-
if this may help some of you for the table top part of this championship, here is a modifier Pusher AI : like 'Pusher' but allow to use a piston.

I will have my bots sent soon. Ive been busy lately, but I got all day to work (snow day today! yay!!!)
-
Phil i assume that's a AI specially for rammer/poker hybrids...
It looks good. I'll definitely try it and i bet Reier is going to worship you for that.
-
I love the AI, but I'm not entering a poker/rammer for this tourney.

ATTENTION ALL ELBITERS<3
Today is my last school day o.f.f.i.c.i.a.l.l.y. And I am waiting on my teacher to give me a make up exam (she left so my advisor called her since I was up late doing Naryar's Character). After this day, or the exam, I will finally start on the Splash Interactive.
-
Awesome! Can't wait for the splash and whatever surprises it holds.
-
Gig, if its ok i might change my enteries.
But, if you dont get anything by the end date, keep my old bots to enter.
-
I would really like it if you could delay the sending period for me, because my bots are zipped, but the computer that they are on will most likely be without power until Monday or Tuesday. I am using a hotel computer right now because the main power line to my house is down because of this:

-
Dang, that sucks. Looks pretty cold.
-
Ice storm? Sorry about that. We haven't even had snow where I live yet! =P
-
We had a storm yesterday, and we lost our power.
-
We lost our power for 3 1/2 days due to an ice storm once.
-
I once lost power for a week.
-
I once lost it for 4 hours! XD
-
I once lost power for a week.
Some people I knew lost power for 10 days. I was lucky I only lost it for 3.
-
In the town I live in, which is right in the center of Oregon, we can have bone dry winters one year, then three weeks of snow the next year. Spend two or three years here, and you will get the meaning of "un-predicable".:wink:
-
Welcome to New England. My main service line to my house is out, so it might be Tuesday or Wednesday.
-
We're getting a storm coming in right now - it's a chilly 68* outside ....
-
What was the rule on stacking batteries?
-
We're getting a storm coming in right now - it's a chilly 68* outside ....
its -2* here. and im wearing a sweatshirt.
-
-8* Celsius here (about 17* Fahrenheit).
-
@ Somebody - The sending time is already delayed, the end of Dec.
@ACAMS- It has to be realistic, so I would say that it may not qualify.
-
OK thanks. I should have power back by then. At this time last year, I was buried in snow. Have we all heard about NH's 102 inches of snow last year (most since 1880 or something like that)? Fun Fun Fun.
-
Received your entry btw...
I will check my site to see if i missed anyone's, then i will showcase the final prizes tomorrow!!!
-
When do we see the splash? Christmas present?
-
Maybe <3
-
did you get my entry?
-
Nope. Try to resend if you can, or through PM.
-
ATTENTION ALL ELBITERS!

2nd place prize will be a black and white stock component reskin.
3rd place prize will be some decals.
-
Tungsten is blue ??
-
Is the jagged side the side that is supposed to hit the other bot? Or is it either way.
-
Looks awesome! Will you be publicly releasing this and just letting the winner use it in the next ELBITE or will only the winner get the actual component?
-
@Nar- I got the idea from madiaba. Keep in mind that this is pure metal, so I exaggerated it to have a blue luster, as a greenish one will look too plain.
@Somebody - It can work either way, and the jagged side is a tad more effective, but in this vid, i was rushing. The blades "front" is really the smooth side though.
@Manmanu - This weapon will be in the release of RA2GE: LU, but other than that, only the winner and myself will have the weapon at their disposal. That winner will then be able to use it in the next ELBITE (much like Clickbeetle's BBEANS).
-
1.6 piercing and 1.6 concussion = about 454 DP. Times 10000 HP, divided by 25 kgs equals... 181,696 efficiency. So the Holy Jagged Blade is more than three times as good as regular DSL weapons (which are balanced at 60,000 efficiency).
I guess that's one way to give people incentive to use it. I think you could still do with slightly less damage though.
Nice looking weapon in any case.
-
When can we expect the splash-type-thing?
-
@ Click - Thanks! Yeah, I admit that I got a little too happy with it's HP. I hoped to balance it out by making it a bit heavy for it's size. It takes a bit to do controlboard damage (As you can see), But it lasts a good while.
@Somebody - Once I get everyones bots, or a decent amount for that matter. I will showcase it.
I'm starting on each bot individually however.
-
Okay cool thanks.
-
For Christmas maybe?
Anyways, i won't upgrade my tabletop entry. Consider my bots as finished and ready Giga.
-
Hmm... Ok i have 6 people left that have to submit entries. I think I can probably do it and then add them on if necessary. Christmas is probably what Im pushing for btw.
-
Gig, is it alright if I change my entry?
-
you have 3 changes left. go for it.
-
*Huh, I missed this cause of no electricity*
------
Real nice color selections, Gig. Final component looks awesome.
..
-
I'm trying my best to submit my entry, but its so hard for me these days to do anything RA2. I barely have anytime for the computer itself, but I really want to be a part of this tourney. I will try to accommodate orderly.
-Inf
-
No worries Inf, you still have some time. I will wait until you are ready so i can start the splash :)
-
Hey Gig, can I have a few days to get my new entry in? I only need a day or 2.
-
everyone has until the end of december, like the rules say.
sadly i cannot leave slots open forever...
slots will close january 1st.
-
Two days left. Time flies doesn't it?
As of now, I simply cannot offer any more extensions :( as classes for me start on the 8th of January [sarcasm]yay[/sarcasm]. That being said, please be sure to try your best to build a bot and submit if possible.
You will know that I won't be accepting any more entries once the grand prize pic on the website has changed. I will then finish up the splash interactive.
-
Uploded mah noo entrie.
-
Entries are now closed! Vacant slots are closed as well, and anyone who hasn't submitted their bots can try to compete next season.
Please check out the new ELBITE Super Tournament threads when they are created, and good luck on your quest for victory!
-
Well, may the best man win.
-
Yep, hope thats me. :D
-
...cant...waiiiit...for...the...showcases...
-
Can't imagine what the splash interactive is.
-
I think it means that when you click on a contender, it gives you its pros and cons, as well as its wins, loses, and ties. But it could be anything.
-
You might be able to...... man I have no idea.
-
You might be able to...... man I have no idea. It sounds like it is going to be really cool though.
-
I'm guessing a splash that either has a video for each bot (maybe 3 splashes, 1 for each class), or a download for each bot.
-
Well, in the words of Joe,
BRING IT OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN!
-
Gig, I just realized the version of my entry had an AGODed wedge, can I do a resend? I know registration's closed and all, but My entry won't work minus a wedge!
If so, I'll send in exactly the same bot, but without the wedges AGODed.
-
pm me and we can work something out
-
Updates?
