Title: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: NFX on January 03, 2011, 09:47:57 AM
Backstory
 
The year is 2065. The world has been ravaged by war, and few cities remain. Within them, the battle for supremacy has begun. However the thought of human violence brings on an irrational fear, as it was human violence that created the desolate wasteland that now stands as Earth. Instead, the survivors scavenge for steel, and any electronics they can get their hands on, learning from the texts of the past to create mechanised warrior machines. In an abandoned warehouse, their creations do battle, fighting to become the ultimate champion in this barren age.
 
But only one will stand victorious, and reign over the ruined city. The rest will be left broken, smashed, and defeated. There is no place for losers in this new world.
 
Welcome to...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54497Mechapocalypse%20Logo%20Small.png)
 

THE RULES
 
--Bots--
1. All entrants must be DSL 2.1 Middleweight. (249.0kg - 399.0kg)
2. All bot building MUST be done in the Bot Lab. No BFE AAM, or ZeroG. Bot File Armour c will be enforced.
3. Standard Realistic Rules apply, however all glitches may be utilised providing they do not violate this rule.
4. All entries must have a MAXIMUM of 20 components on their robot.
4. No cheatbot2, AI or custom components.
5. No "invincible" armour (halfsheets, skirt hinges, casters, etc.).
6. No skirt hinge (MCB) or Typhoon Flag underground wedges.
7. No crawlers.
8. No Flail Spinners of any kind. This is to reduce the threat of Havok Explosions.
9. Multibots are not allowed.
 
--The Tournament--
10. Each robot gets ONE free Havok Restart per match, and THREE for the entire tournament. Any further havok explosions will result in a forfeit, so keep this rule in mind.
11. If a robot is immobilized on a broken component with more than half battery power and no damage to its control board, the match will be restarted.
12. AI'ing your own bot is preferred. I will AI your bot if you are unable to, but all bots AI'd by me will use Onmi.py, and only move towards the opponent and use their weapons. They will NOT be fine-tuned.
13. Each match will last three rounds of two minutes each.
14. Matches will take place in a reskinned RA2T2 Arena. Hazards will be ON.
15. There will be 16 places available, with a Loser's Bracket. The Loser's Bracket and Winner's Bracket champions will fight in the Grand Final, where the Loser's Bracket Champion must win at least 3 out of 4 matches to become Grand Champion.
16. Once all 16 places are taken, entrants will have ONE WEEK to make minor updates to their bots. A minor update is one that does not significantly alter the robot's design, or the way it performs.
17. If all 16 places cannot be filled in significant time, signups will be "locked" on January 30th 2011. Any members entering after this date will be unable to submit updates for their bots. Members entered before this date will still be eligible to send minor updates.
18. Signups will officially close on February 2nd 2011. If all 16 places have not been filled, byes will be issued randomly in the first round.

ENTRANTS
 
RED means your robot does not comply with building regulations.
BLUE means your robot has been received, but not yet implemented into the game.
ORANGE means there is a technical problem with your robot.
GREEN means your robot has been AI'd and is ready to fight.

- These are the rules, they cannot change at any point from now.

- The following tournament is a Minor League tournament.

- The ending deadline for this tournament is April 03, 2011.

Is "invincible" armour only if the component is used as armour?
Otherwise things like multi extenders can't be used.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: NFX on January 04, 2011, 06:17:22 AM
If you're referring the the bot in your showcase, then I'm still slightly unsure about it. Multi Extenders are only invincible when they're mounted to the baseplate, though, and the chassis gets hit before they do.
 
I will allow titanium halfsheets to be used on the baseplate, so long as:
1) They are not used solely for armour purposes. (Adding stabilising skirts to it is fine)
2) No more than half the baseplate is covered by them.
 
In my experience, they're not brilliant as armour anyway, but that is what people use them for.
 
And madman, which bot on the exchange is yours? It doesn't give me one with your username.

But the Titanium halfsheet isn't being used as armour, in S_M's case. It's being used to hold the stabilising skirts. It was always going to be kind of a grey area in that sense.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: madman3 on January 04, 2011, 06:29:10 AM
Cast Iron 1.4 is the one.

Technically that's still changing the rules. But I dunno.

Stupid question time TM

Does the chasis count as one of the 20 components?
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: Naryar on January 04, 2011, 03:37:49 PM
No. In game terms the chassis is a component, but generally the community refers "component" to "thing you can attach to the chassis". Here is no exception.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups

Hey NFX, I sent you my entry.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: JoeBlo on January 04, 2011, 08:22:38 PM
Chassis is component number 0 in game.. so technically it counts but being the number 0 you can put on 20 more components..
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: NFX on January 04, 2011, 08:38:24 PM
The chassis is NOT a component. I had no idea it was a component, to be honest.

In terms of the rules here, I meant. The chassis doesn't count as a component.

Yes they do !

20 components, that's simple enough to understand, no ?

You should fare well against the Scot, if yours is a sledge rammer. Mine is particularly good against VS :approve:

Okay, first post updated again. I thought I had put S_M on there. One spot left, though I will open up a Wildcard if I get more entries. And if Joe will allow it.

Back on topic now, or both of you might not like what will I do.

Still, I'll see if there's a Wildcard available later.

Okay, that's the 16 spots done. Signups will now officially close on January the 23rd. Entrants have one week to send any minor updates.

My apologies to GF93 and Naryar. =)

I just realized. I never test any of the bots I make for tournaments...



We shall see how I do.

UPDATE: I got some AI'ing done this morning. First post has been updated accordingly. If there's anybody that can give me a hand with FBS_1, that would be much appreciated. ;)

FBS_2 is better IMO... does basically the same thing but it's simpler to use.  (But I am biased because I wrote FBS_2.)


For FBS_1 I believe you need 3 analog controls, "LeftRight" like normal, "Ahead" for throttle, and "Spin" for SnSing.  Optional Bindings parameters are 'PreSpinEntrance', which is how long the AI should wait to start SnSing at the beginning of the match (so it can get closer to the middle of the arena), 'ReMobilizeRoutineTime(10-60)', which has something to do with how the bot unsticks itself when it's getting immobilized (not sure exactly how it works), and 'range' which is just range.

Last day to send updates, everybody. ;)
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: powerrave on January 22, 2011, 07:39:29 AM
wooo! that means this is going to start soon-ish!
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: NFX on January 22, 2011, 08:37:03 AM
Soonish. As soon as I can work out why Badnik's bot crashes my game, and KM's bot doesn't flip.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: G.K. on January 22, 2011, 08:39:11 AM
Send them to me if you want.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: NFX on January 22, 2011, 08:42:07 AM
Thanks for the offer, GK. Would it be alright if I AI'd the rest of them, and sent any ones I'm having problems with to you?
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: G.K. on January 22, 2011, 08:43:31 AM
sure.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: SteveM4 on January 22, 2011, 03:14:15 PM
NFX, I have a fully working Havok 20u on my PC, Ai'd and all.

Can I send it to you since the one on yours doesn't flip.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: NFX on January 22, 2011, 05:11:31 PM
Yes you can, you've still got time for updates.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: Badnik96 on January 23, 2011, 04:17:05 PM
If I have a chance tomorrow I'll see if I can AI my bot for you NFX.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: NFX on January 23, 2011, 04:26:30 PM
Sounds good.
 
By the way, Signups will be closed in 90 minutes.
Title: Re: Mechapocalypse Signups
Post by: NFX on January 23, 2011, 06:43:46 PM
DP: Signups are now officially closed. I'll get to AI'ing them tomorrow, and make the splash soon as well.
