ok here are the rules as i remember them.this will be a DSL 2.1 HW and LW tourny. each person will send one bot of each wight AI yourself. anyone can help you do this but i wont have the time ( that is why it took to long to start the last time around.) its a best 2 out of 3 setup in my own ,moded combat arena. you will not know i did to it untill after the tounry start. it wont be any HUGH change. NO MUTI BOTS im not dealing with that. REAL rules and you must use plastic 1mm, 3mm, or 5mm on both bots.the real rule is in effect. i will take all entries asap with the deadline in 2 weeks.
thanks for the help mad.

Just plastic?
Okay then.
I'll send my 2 winners in when my new LW is done.
EDIT: Are pop-ups allowd?
-
If they are realistic.
I will probably have mine sent soon.
-
ok for some reason the world of comps HATES me. lol i had to do a pc recovery again today. reinstall EVERTHING. so i need you to resend your bots somebody. . lucky mad had the work for the arena and that is still up and going. i need to know howmany of you are realy gonna enter
-
ok i have somebodys bots. i have changed the bots due date to Jan. 1st. im getting a vid editor for christmas so i can better shoot the tourny. as soon as i get the editor i will make a splash and a braket. this is just an idea but if you guys will fill out a braket thats just got the first rounds on it. then who ever gets the most matchs right will win the Arena also. idk if you all are interested though.
-
Yes, that sounds cool. It will be like the predictions for BBEANS, except that there is an incentive.
-
.... idk if you all are interested though.
Well, I am. I've been tweeking on a special prototype bot to try out in this Tourny.
-
I'm interested, count me in
-
I'm in too.
-
I guess I'm in also.
-
I just need to tweak my two bots more (including rebuilding completely one but it won't take time) and i'll send them to ya.
-
ok i just got Phil's. good to see everyone is entering.
-
My bots arnt going that well, due to 1mm plastic and poor protection, its hard trying to fit all of the electronics AND a weapon AND protection in in a LW, maybe not for you guys, but it is for me!
-
For my bots, the protection IS the weapons. Although 5mm Plastic helps.
-
ok i am making the the first round as i get them so the first round is somebody Vs. phil. then me Vs. whoever gets theres in next. i will have a losers braket. however once this gets going i will get the whole thing done in 4 to 5 days. after christmas. Btw i will need someone to make the spalsh of the bots as i suck at it. any help here would be welcomed.
-
I could send mine in soon. Do we have to AI them ourselfs?
-
Cool, I can't wait for the splash to see what Phil sent in.
-
I could send mine in soon. Do we have to AI them ourselfs?
Yes, you have to. Just for trying it AIed and see what's wrong (or what could be better) with it.
CUDA i have my bots built. Just need to refine the AI then i'll send them (plus the bindings) to you.
-
thanks man.also by way of a killer heckraiser issue the otside of the arena will be .py in and will be a lot like the old table top of mad's that pushed you away from the edge. ( the issue is that i cant seem to compile them right.) so the idea is still there that no bot will get hung up on the walls or in the corners.. ill have a vid as soon as i have some time to finsh it. the dead line for entrys will be Jan, 08, 08.
-
ok here is the floor .bmp for the arena im gonna make a few tweaks to it later. im going to up the prize for this thing abit so you all have something to shoot for. i will give the winner not only the arena but i will also mod any arena they want to what ever they want. as long as its doable. i cant wait for this thing to get going yall. its gonna be awsome!!!!!

I know how to do it and everything, but my comp is acting up for some reason and it won't let me replace ar add any AI. I can guess how they work, but I can't be sure.
Edit: do both bots have to have the same armor? Ie. do they both have to use plastic 5, or could 1 have plastic 5 and the other have plastic 3?
-
Nice Floor, Cuda. Looks real nice.
-
thanks mad. and no they can have diff armor for each bot.
-
I get my entries in soon Cuda
-
ok heres the new floor if i get the time tomarrow i will have a vid of the arena with the wall force in it and the arena wall skined. as you can see this is a "used" arena with tire marks and and a spot where a VS got fliped around and pirced the concreat. i hope you like it. i got your bots H@zm and cant wait to see how the fight between us might go;)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72852GUMBA floor.JPG)
-
Honestly the first non-used was better. I can work on that one .bmp if you want.
So it's just the plain no-hazards empty Combat Arena? That's great especially for me.
EDIT: Reier: no, CUDA never mentioned something like that. You just need plastic armor ranging from 1mm to 5mm.
-
oh it has a hazard. your bot MUST stay away from the warning strips on the edge. im going to (with mads help) writ in a .py code that shoots the bots back to the middle of the arena with no damage if i can. so try to make your bots controlable. as for the arena you will get the used part when i get the sides done. this tourny takes place in an old wherehouse. ill add a few creats if i think it needs it but i dont think it will. an old wherehouse floor would have marks and stuff on it. idk it was just as idea.
-
The failure of the pin bots here. I think that a few bots might lose because of your awesome mod. It might catapult a bot behind another, or flip over a bot. It will definetly be interesting. I like the used arena floor.
-
The new floor is sweet. Good job man.
-
Actually, I like the first one, the "clean" floor. I'll d/l both of 'em, and mess around with them, see what I can do ....
-
ok spy i thought i saved a 'clean' floor but i didnt. so here is the used floor. keep in mind that this is in a old trashed wherehouse.but i do want it to say GUMBA in that font. if you can.
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/GUMBA floor.rar (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/GUMBA floor.rar)
i said i would have vid up by now and here it is. its in .avi format cause my converter would not convert it. and then the GTM uploader hated it lol. si i had to use youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnB_nduNcR4 i dont think you were suposed to here the comedy station in the backround. lol.
-
Old trashed warehouse floor .... will do. I just grabbed the pic of the "clean" floor from your previous posting .... Hopefully I have that font in my computer somewhere ... looks like Wedgies or something like that ... **goes searching for my Fonts CD**
-
yup its called wedgies. heres the link for you to DL it. i get all my fonts from here.
http://www.1001freefonts.com/3d-fonts-5.php
-
Hey, cool - I'll have to check that site out some more. I got a Fonts CD with over 4000+ fonts on it, too. Thanks for the link.
-
ok so with Mad in control of all my 1\2 done arena files i still dont have it skined yet.sry but the ice storm where hes at is still causing to leave him without power. how ever there is good news. I have asked ACAMS for a space here on GTM and he said yes. so you wont have to deal with a ton of vids in the first post when i start the tourny. anyway here is the rundown of who i have bots from.

'Cuda, am still working on the floor ... I think you will be very pleased with it when I'm done. Should be finished in a little while .....
-
hey cool thanks for the work man. i know im not good at skinning yet but i am better thwn when we worked on that battlefiled arena with mad arnt i? lol
-
*laffs* Yeppers, I remember that ....
I'm working on your "old trashed warehouse" theme, and I think it's coming along very well .....
-
Cuda, got your floor ..... am having trouble uploading it, though ... Want me to email it to you?
-
Is it too late to enter?
-
nope the end date is Jan 8 09
-
Okay cool. You AI your own bots right?
-
yup
-
ok Urjak i just looked at your bot and broke the real rule IMO. however i didnt say this upfront so ill put it to a vote. do we let a bot with stacked razors inter? you guys decide.
-
ok SpyGuy got me the new floor and once again it proves that i suck lol.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31357GUMBA_Floor.JPG)
-
Hope you like it, Cuda. I ran with your "old trashed warehouse" theme, and decided to do what I could on the floor to reflect that. Since it's an old well-worn floor, concrete slabs seemed appropriate, along with faded and chipped paint, and some spilled oil, not to mention the various skid marks and the VS hits on the edge of the floor. If you look closely, there's an air tank with hose, a gear, and a set of wires on the floor, too.
All of the above was done in MGI PhotoSuite 95 (main project) and PhotoImpression 6 (additional fading and weathering effects).
-
That looks very cool. Nice job SpyGuy
EDIT: Stacked razors could be welded together in real life. I would allow it but we'll see what everyone else says. We're low on numbers anyway Cuda it would probably be better if you allowed it
-
Meh, why not? I'll join.
-
ok thats what i was thinking. ok stacked razors are in.
-
i like this floor. keep it.
-
Same here.
EDIT: no i've seen your vid on youtube CUDA. I've seen how the hazard works and it's actually not that annoying for my bot.
-
I like the floor, and stacked razors seems fine to me.
-
Hey, (back on a generator). Nice floor, SG. And nice arena 70C.:-D
BTW, FYI, JIC you want to know, Cuda ran into some internet issues and told me to say that he'll be out for a week or so until he can get things back in order. He wanted everyone to know that the GUMBA Tourney is definitely still on...NP. Just a short pause...
-
Is his internet okay. Its been about a week and an update would be nice.
-
SB, wish I knew. Still having trouble myself.
Still losing power. Visiting my parents now for a few days.
