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.

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.

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.

btw ACAMS how do you make the video display in the forum?

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.

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.
