I have an idea for an tournament..
Metal Mayhem!
Meta DSL 2.2
Style; IRL (not strict)
arena: DSL Tournament arena
Battle format: three two way battles, heat final is a 3 way battle and may include a nasty surprise!
The only problem im facing is.. well this is my first tournament so i can only have 16 bots.. the tournament has 18 bots format..

If you ask yugitom/craig nicely they might allow you to bend the rules. If not you could just run 3 heats instead of 4

Or a wild card Rumble?

yugitom · « **Reply #1063 on:** January 21, 2017, 03:08:52 PM »

Yeah, 18 is fine by me.

Use OBS. No ugly watermark like bandicam (unless you have the full version of Bandicam that is)

Pirate Sony Vegas

If you don't wanna pirate, you may as well use WMM, its not that bad.

Avalanche · « **Reply #1071 on:** April 15, 2017, 07:52:50 AM »

eh, i downloaded a free software called VDSC Free Video Editor. sony vegas 30 day trial didn't appeal to me, and i'm too incompetent to know how to pirate without getting a thousand viruses.

thanks for answering though

kix · « **Reply #1072 on:** April 16, 2017, 06:16:18 PM »

New idea! Now this is just an idea, as i havent finished with the fiasco that is TGMRW.
DSL 2.2 IRL HW
32 entries
CB, CF7 and OBJ allowed
The only catch is that ill ban spinners..
Thoughts?

I use NCH Videopad. It's free and decent enough. better than WMM, has video/audio layers and more effects options. It might have chroma key but I can't remember.

Don't pirate.

inb4 something something "stealing" even though there's no scarcity involved in software.

edit: BTW avalanche, generally the top search results for such commonly torrented software are safe, but many keygens/cracks cause your anti-virus to ping with false positives. Common sense should keep you away from shady downloads.
I can't link to a torrent directly, but I can link you to search results for "sony vegas torrent". You should know what to do from there. Just keep in mind that you will need P2P torrenting software to open .torrent files (I recomment Deluge).

i need help ai'ing my bot whiplash for a super heavyweight tournament (first time i think a bot I've built is good enough to enter one) and was wondering 2 things one if someone could direct me to a good tutorial on how to go about doing so and 2 is there a way to ai in a way so that when whiplash is flipped the blade will then spin in the opposite direction to direction it was spinning the right way up?

(^whiplash^)(oh and for whats its worth im copyrighting my bots lol)
