Great. What time tonight. (EST please!)

Gigafrost · « **Reply #222 on:** December 02, 2008, 09:42:41 PM »

Now:

BEHOLD THE...

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...

Somebody · « **Reply #224 on:** December 03, 2008, 06:04:53 AM »

That looks awesome.

Reier · « **Reply #225 on:** December 03, 2008, 08:56:12 AM »

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.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #230 on:** December 03, 2008, 12:22:54 PM »

Hey it's that fact that you guys are trying that counts... My bots might suck just as much.

Wow, great job Gig.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #232 on:** December 03, 2008, 09:38:02 PM »

Could you please extend the deadline to the end of Sunday? That would be really helpful.

I am not worthy.

Fixed.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #234 on:** December 04, 2008, 07:23:41 AM »

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)

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #235 on:** December 04, 2008, 02:25:25 PM »

I want the extra day.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #236 on:** December 04, 2008, 04:36:21 PM »

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.

H@zm47 · « **Reply #239 on:** December 04, 2008, 07:53:53 PM »

I like the idea. I hope i get to fight one.
I'm assuming these are MWs, Giga?
