Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on November 28, 2008, 07:19:36 PM
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.

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.

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.

Post by: 70 CUDA on December 06, 2008, 01:10:23 PM
ok i just got Phil's. good to see everyone is entering.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: WhamettNuht on December 06, 2008, 01:25:38 PM
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!
Title: GUMBA
Post by: Somebody on December 06, 2008, 01:41:15 PM
For my bots, the protection IS the weapons. Although 5mm Plastic helps.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on December 07, 2008, 02:51:48 PM
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.

Post by: Reier on December 07, 2008, 03:16:30 PM
I could send mine in soon. Do we have to AI them ourselfs?
Title: GUMBA
Post by: Somebody on December 07, 2008, 04:25:25 PM
Cool, I can't wait for the splash to see what Phil sent in.

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.

Post by: 70 CUDA on December 08, 2008, 01:27:25 AM
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.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on December 10, 2008, 05:25:21 PM
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?
Title: GUMBA
Post by: Madiaba on December 10, 2008, 06:11:59 PM
Nice Floor, Cuda. Looks real nice.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on December 10, 2008, 09:20:37 PM
thanks mad. and no they can have diff armor for each bot.

I get my entries in soon Cuda
Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on December 11, 2008, 03:13:00 AM
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;)

Title: GUMBA
Post by: Naryar on December 11, 2008, 04:23:33 AM
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.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on December 11, 2008, 04:32:12 AM
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.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: Somebody on December 11, 2008, 05:40:22 AM
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.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on December 11, 2008, 10:17:58 PM
The new floor is sweet. Good job man.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: SpyGuy on December 11, 2008, 10:32:32 PM
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 ....
Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on December 12, 2008, 05:47:12 AM
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.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: SpyGuy on December 12, 2008, 10:33:48 PM
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**

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.

I'm working on your "old trashed warehouse" theme, and I think it's coming along very well .....
Title: GUMBA

yup
Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on December 15, 2008, 07:00:16 PM
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.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: 70 CUDA on December 15, 2008, 09:38:57 PM
ok SpyGuy got me the new floor and once again it proves that i suck lol.

Title: GUMBA
Post by: SpyGuy on December 15, 2008, 09:57:51 PM
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).
Title: GUMBA
Post by: H@zm47 on December 15, 2008, 10:34:42 PM
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.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: philetbabe on December 16, 2008, 03:47:47 AM
i like this floor. keep it.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: Naryar on December 16, 2008, 04:15:03 AM
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.
Title: GUMBA
Post by: Somebody on December 16, 2008, 05:52:20 PM
I like the floor, and stacked razors seems fine to me.

Post by: Madiaba on December 18, 2008, 11:45:01 PM
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...
Title: GUMBA
Post by: Somebody on December 28, 2008, 11:04:40 AM
Is his internet okay. Its been about a week and an update would be nice.

Still losing power.  Visiting my parents now for a few days.
