Title: N00B WARZ 4 - Return of Randomness
Post by: Reier on January 04, 2012, 02:41:31 PM
It's back.

And it's more random than ever.

(Read the whole thing before posting/questions.)

Y'all probably know what N00b Warz is by now, but I'll tell you again for the new members.
It's a chance to take your old cruddy junk bucket robots and actually use them for something. You take a (legal) bot you made before you joined the forums and send it to me, where it will compete in a tourney made for robots of that level! If you don't have the actual bot, it's fine if you try to make an exact replica. Just no AAM, BFE, hax mode, yadda yadda... all the normal stuff. Also no cheatbot2.
However, I will actually REJECT robots if they are not BAD enough! You actually HAVE to enter in a n00b bot. But please, be easy on me and just send in a total stinker. This tourney is for laughs.

Chances are, if you think "Would Reier accept this? It might be too good.", your fears have ground, so send in a terrible, terrible robot.

Some things to aim for when sending in a bot:
Lots of empty space
Lots of batteries (yeehawww)
Lots of fail
Low weapon count and/or horrible weapon types


BOT TYPES/ARENA/Match types ------------------------

Bot type is HW stock. All you dudes who entered in NW2 CAN reenter the robot you sent in, but it might be lulzier if you chose a new one. Either way, no biggie.

This is where it gets interesting. To make this thing a joke fest, the arena will be
RANDOMLY CHOSEN EACH MATCH.
Yes. That's how epic it is.
So technically, you could get a Normal, TT or KOTH arena. Normal arenas are always Rumbles (except the final match), not Teams or anything.
Just all the lulzier.

Matches are like NW3, Rumbles all the way until the final match which is a 1v1. No losers bracket as always.


HOW TO REGISTER ------------------------

Send in an old stock HW robot, no Cheatbot2 and the usual. It needs to be bad. Preferably, if you can find a robot that you made before you joined, go with that. If not, make a replica as close as you can. Please no just making new pseudonoob robots (i.e. a bad robot you just made).
Unlike NW 1-2, I cannot just put your name on the list. You have to send me a robot with your registration (in PM, but post your participation in this topic too if you want), and I still might reject it if it's not nooby enough. If this happens, no biggie, just send in a worse robot.
Please AI your bot if you can do so. If you cannot, I can do basic AI so don't expect anything fancy. However it would help me out if you could do it.

Deadline is February 20 - but PLEASE get your robot in sooner than that! I'll start this thing ASAP as I get all entries so that's incentive to get yours in quick! Also previous N00b Warzes have filled up in like 3 days, so just a warning.

Oh, and to make it more random I'm gonna give each robot a dopey nickname.

Though IIRC it had less weapons and no ballasts when i built it. So i'm going to build it again anyways.

I`ll enter with Der Maulwurf again! NW2 was my first ever tourney and I lost to Sonny cause the arena hammer destroyed me. I was on top by points!

I imagine Pyramid Scheme would be slightly too good. I'll take out a few DDT's and give it Redbird drive, that should sufficiently crappify it. =D

I have tons of old bots saved...but I mostly saved my best bots (at the time) so I hope there's one that's bad enough.

Sounds like it'll be awesome. Hazards had better be turned on.

I'm in if we're doing this.  First tournament that's piqued my interest in a long time.


Can we do non-stock types of AI's?  My bot has two weapons and would ideally be OmniMultiZone, but I'm cool if that's not allowed, one of the weapons is next to useless anyway.

I can't, so it's the honor system.
It's not THAT strict of a rule, but following it would make me a happy man.

Reier, I'm happy to move this over as soon as you're ready, as long as you clarify the havok rules.
Title: Re: N00B WARZ 4 - Return of Randomness

Yeah go ahead and move it over.
I just restart a match if it's really really havoky. I've never had it happen though.

It's not half bad for a noob bot.

Also, I am sending my bot to reier. It IS good for a n00b bot, but I honestly can't remember building truly awful bots.

After some further testing, FTOPOPOXPOPXEX's and Fracture's bots are just a liiiiiiittle too good. Since you sent in bots already, send in fresh ones if you can. If not, I'll just the next members on the list. Please do it in a day or I'll need to use someone else.

Mr. Awesumsauce is kicked for sending in OP bots among other things. r0b0sh4rk was next in line and takes his place.

Yes, Blademaster IS a ronin ripoff. I just liked ronin but i quickly saw it couldn't win anything, so I improved it. But I built it all by myself, cause Ronin is BFE'd and you can't add moar zteks for some weird reason.

Post by: Reier on January 11, 2012, 04:30:51 PM
Okay, first of all, his bot has two sets of wheels, one on top and one on bottom. For invertibility. The axles on the motors are also facing inwards, which adds complication.

When you AI, you're supposed to label the W-S keys "Forward" and the A-D keys "LeftRight". Capitalization is needed or else the game freaks out.
He kinda did this, he named them "forward" and "steering".
EXCEPT THEY WERE THE WRONG ONES. The forward control was the steering and vice versa. Also, he programmed the REAL forward one to S-W and not W-S.
ALSO, this bot is angled 90 degrees from the normal front which annoys me even more

lfjsha dhldfjnakdnm,djajckxdbnaskjdbfj,asdk it wasn't hard, just ANNOYING as heck



And FPOPTOPOPXOX's weapon is annoying to AI too. It's a frenzy hammer but the frenzy.py isn't working on it for whatever reason even though I labelled the controls correctly.
