Title: Our Replicas are Different
Post by: yoda9726 on March 03, 2011, 09:16:51 PM: What's this? Another replica tournament? Well, kinda. The idea behind this one is NOT to make replicas of a 'bot', but to make a 'replica' of...something else. A bot that appears to have been made out of some object, or in the shape of...whatever. Here's a few examples...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47319ORAD%20example.png)

Yup, a lawnmower and a can of mountain dew. So, some rules...

1. 16 bots allowed, last 4 entrants will go into a wildcard bracket.
2. DSL SuperHeavyweight in the combat zone arena with hazards off
3. No cheatbot or replica parts
4. No custom components
5. All building done in botlab, so no BFE, AAM, or any of that cheaty stuff, skinning is allowed (nearly required)
6. multibots are allowed, both bots must add up to no more that 1200 kg
7. 'loose' realistic rule will apply. This is standard realism, with slight allowances of breaking realism for looks only.
8. matches will be 3 minutes, 1 on 1, best 2 out of 3, with a losers bracket
9. I can and will AI for those who can't, but AI'ing your own bot is the preferred method.
10. custom .py's allowed, not including the cheaty type (healing damage, constant damage, etc. etc.)
11. You must make a decent effort to make your bot look like it was built out of something else.
12. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as we can get the idea of what it is supposed to be.
13. Beyond that, most bot types allowed, save for trinity flyers, nasty pickles, or bumblers.
14. In this tourney at least, the old adage of "size doesn't matter" happens to be true. Who cares if the can of dew is as big as the lawnmower?
15. The most important rule, this is for fun...

recently added rules
16. Havok restarts as per usual. you get one free, on a second havok from YOUR bot, you're disqualified
17. Narmour: don't bother. It won't work.
18. Multibots must both be destroyed/immobilized to count as a win.

Post by: Resetti's Replicas on March 03, 2011, 11:25:01 PM: That lawnmower's a real beauty. Hopefully this doesn't start too soon, I've gotta buckle down and push through schoolwork for the next two months.

I might not even green tick this until after the next voting process, and even if i do, there still might be plenty of time. Hope to see you there.

Too bad the lawnmower's not effective at all...but what can I expect when I use a dual perm as a decoration...

Glad to see you guys are liking the idea, and it looks like there's some great ideas poppin in your heads already.

I'm in the process of whipping together a few bots for a promo vid. IF anyone would like to make a bot or two to get featured, send them my way before, say, Wednesday.

I had almost forgotten about that...yup, you get to use them. Enjoy. Anyone overly worried about them, don't be. They ARE better than their usual counterparts statwise, but only slightly.

It can still be done without skinning, just gotta be a bit more creative with your components. For example, Hypnodisc's srimech arm makes a decent whammy bar for a guitar. It's just a bit easier if you can skin.

Hmm, I will have to bring it down to a HW somehow, which won't be easy.

I wasn't planning on entering this but now that you reminded me of that toilet bot, I might have to see if such a thing is possible.
Title: Re: Our Replicas are Different

Title: Re: Our Replicas are Different
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 12, 2011, 08:40:15 PM: Nope, it's a SHW... and not even an official 1200 kg SHW, since it was built before that class became official. It's something like 1400 kgs IIRC.

You can tell it's old just by looking at the splash.
Title: Re: Our Replicas are Different
Post by: yoda9726 on March 13, 2011, 04:57:45 AM: I do so love that bot.

Promo vid should be coming in a few days once i've built a few more bots and get a bit more motivated. I''ve actually would have enough built to show the idea, but every time i'd finish a bot, i'd look in here and someone would've said they were gonna make the same thing...

I was thinking (and i'm gonna leave this up to you guys) maybe we should increase the weight limit a bit so as not to stifle any creativity. I don't wanna go full SHW, but maybe up it to 900?? I'll add a poll...
Title: Re: Our Replicas are Different
Post by: Conraaa on March 13, 2011, 05:13:52 AM: I voted "just go shw" ~~and then changed my mind.~~ ~~I think 900 would work well.~~

Someone is gonna be dissappointed. Edit: Looks like me after seeing the poll. Oh well.
Or you could make a MW rep and make a multibot :D
Title: Re: Our Replicas are Different
Post by: 123savethewhales on March 14, 2011, 10:53:20 PM: I don't know how to make Fluttershy and still put weapons on it if it isn't SHW.

Probably gonna make something else if it's HW.

90% of them will look like snowflakes to the untrained eye.

Post by: yoda9726 on March 22, 2011, 03:10:45 AM: I'm gonna let the poll run for 2 more days. Thursday when I wake up, we'll have a definate answer. In the event of a tie, we'll compromise and make the weight limit 1000 (halfway between the two most likely to tie)
Title: Re: Our Replicas are Different
Post by: Conraaa on March 24, 2011, 02:03:16 PM: So it's 1000?

I thought an 'advanced' user would know more.

Stock bots crash DSL and vice versa. And they NEVER mix. It's the 11 th out of the 10 commandments.

Mind if I enter a stock robot?... My computer doesn't have DSL nor the internet connection to download it. It can hardly beat a Stock AI lightweight; so you don't have to worry about it being out of balance or anything.

The 11th Commandment, eh? I always that was-
"Thou shalt not wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts"

Stock won't crash DSL
If you installed DSL correctly, it won't have Red/black extenders, and other components.

When the game attempts to load the bot it takes a look at the Stock only components, looks at what they are, panics, and crashes and has a weep in the corner.

You need a dodgy DSL for it to work.

Post by: yoda9726 on March 26, 2011, 10:19:01 PM: Technically, I've disallowed cheatbot parts, HOWEVER, If I get no complaints about it before signups start, I'll make this one exception. Your stock bot will still be bound by DSL realism however.

BTW, i'm green tickin this now.
Title: Re: Our Replicas are Different
Post by: Conraaa on March 27, 2011, 05:44:13 AM: I know you've green ticked this but could you allow skinning components? Or have you allowed it under rule #5? I can't tell.
My replica atm is a mish mash of different things and if I could skin certain parts then it would look a lot better.

Of course. It can be anything other than an actual bot used for the sport of robotic combat.
