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. =)

Naryar · « **Reply #164 on:** October 29, 2008, 08:55:21 AM »

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.

Naryar · « **Reply #167 on:** November 01, 2008, 12:37:46 PM »

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.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #169 on:** November 10, 2008, 11:20:15 AM »

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!

Also: Will that be the only modded arena?

BTW, Gig, I tweaked that coding a little more/diffferently, and you may want to check it out. Let me know (via PM).

Gigafrost · « **Reply #173 on:** November 10, 2008, 04:19:34 PM »

@ Mad - OK, I'll PM you.

@Somebody - What? Not at all! We are just getting warmed up. All my arenas are custom.

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?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #177 on:** November 11, 2008, 12:34:24 PM »

When the arms spin backwards, they can pin smaller bots to the ground. I was using a HW so I got out easily.

Somebody · « **Reply #178 on:** November 11, 2008, 12:43:35 PM »

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.
